Beach Wins
From Golva
Fourth of July Game Goes to
Beach by Score 8 to 2.

The Beach ball team won its
first game from Golva on indie
paudence day. The outfleld was
fenced off in terrible fashion
and nearly caused the refusal of
the Golva boys to play at all, but
they finally consented to play the
game. The playing field was not
much larger than the inileld
should have been, but the baseball
management did not have any
thing to say about the fence
building and want to assure the
Golva boys that the members of
the Beach ball team hated to
play ball in the little place. There
was nothing else to do. Hereafter
the baseball boys hope to have Il
voice in matters so that this shall
not happen again.
Campbell was on the mound
for Go!va while Phillips did the
tw;rling for the home bays. Beach
won the game in the first inning,
scoring 4 runs on hits and errors.

MRS r. THOMPSON .. =.
SUDDENLY CALLED
Aged Lady Succumbs to Heart
Stroke Friday Morning
Last.-Funeral Held
Monday.

Mrs. R. Thompson, mother of
The Thompson boys and long a
resident of this city, suddenly
passed away at the. south side
home Friday morning. Death
was due to heart failure. Mrs.
Thompson was aroused from her
sleep by her condition, and doc
tors were summoned. Her con-
dilion, instead of growing better,
rapidly grew worse and she pas.
sed away at ZOO o'clock. Prior
to her death, Mrs. Thompson was
seemingly hale and hearty. Her
death is not only a shock to the
family, but to the family's many
friends as we'll.
Mrs. Thompson was born in
Norway in 1916, coming with her
parents to jackson county, Wis
consin, in 1857. In 1865 she was
married to Rier Thompson. In
1907 the family moved to Beach,
and have since bee IN respected
residents here. She was splend-
id woman, and an earnest and
consistent Christian. A member
of the Lutheran church of this
city she was an interchangeable
worker in its affairs, where she
will be greatly missed. Early in
life she dedicated her works to
the Christ, and her power of ex-
ample was at all times an influ-
cnce for good wherever she was
known.
She is survived by her hus-
hand and the following children
Henry B. Thompson, A. r.
Thompson and R. B. Thompson
of this city; C. L. Thompson of
Grafton; N. R. Thompson and
Mrs. ]. o. Knutson of Blair Wis
and Mrs. Anderson, of Golva, all
Of whom were present at the last
sad rites Monday afternoon. In
colnmemoration of the high res
pecls in which the deceased was
held all the business houses
of the city were closed during
the funeral services, which were
held at the Norwegian Lutheran
church, the remains being later
Inferred in the Beach cemetery.
The bereaved have the sym.
pathy Of the entire community
in their loss.

Mystery Cleared
Up This Week
''King of the Range" Discovered
to be Horse Lost Eleven
Years.-F0und Through
Chronicle Columns.

An eleven-year-old mystery
was cleared up this week. There
is nothing improbable about it if
dealed with purely from a fic-
tional standpoint. But is is the
truth, and therefore seems inn
probable, for truth is stranger
than fiction. 1t has to do with a
horse, and no ordinary horse at
thai. Vingie E. Roe please take
note.
When the last big western North
Dakota range disappeared in 1905,
because of the rapid influx of set
tiers from the east and the recla-
1nation of thousands of acres from
the range to purposes of agricul-
ture, one of the last big outfits to
recognize the new order was that
of Wibaux. Horses and cattle
were gathered from a thousand
hills and shortly after shipped to
eastern markets. The big bunch
of horses were shipped to St.
Louis, then the horse market of
America.
S. D. Whitmer was one of the
early pioneers responsible for the
big change. When he first came
to the Golden Valley he staked
out the claim on which he has
since resided His equipment
proved barely sufficient for his
modest farming operations. He
had but two horses, later aug
ment by the arrival of two long
legged sprawling, awkward colts.
The mothers objected to being
separated from their offspring
while Sam cut hay. Likewise the
colts. Peace, so essential to max
ing hay while the sun shone, was
only secured when Sam tied the
colts to the mothers names, a
step necessary TO prevent the am
pl,tation of their neither limbs by
the rapialy moving sickle. One
beautiful morn the instinct of free
and untrammeled liberty proved
tco strong for colt number one
and he seeded fromt4e union, gal

away. He never came back. II
was supposed that he became
mixed up with the Wibaux hors.
es on Elk Creek at the time OF
the roundup, was branded as a
maverick and passed into other
hands.
During the years that followed
stories were told of strange
horse, the head of a large band,
which refused to be taken by the
Establishments of men into sur.
rendering his person for domes-
tic purposes. Somewhere in his
brain there lurked a memory, and
suspicion which refused to be
quieted. Attempts to capture
him proved in vain, and each
time he gathered his herd about
him and garnered them in the
safe seclusion of the hills. And
so the years passed. Finally a
dsy came when the last of his
herd was taken from him. Re-
fusing to desert them, he suffered
himself to be coralled, and it was
discovered he was branded with
a strange device which no one
seemed to recognize. An accurate
description of him was placed in
the columns of the Chronicle
and convinced that the animal
was his, Mr.. Whitmer journeyed
north for first hand inspection

Barn Nearly

exhibition. eliminated the
Fourth of July Celebra-
ton in Beach.
With the band playing, a tug of
war in progress on Main street
and the concluding events of the
evening Wild West we'll UNDER
way at the ball park, the sudden
peal of the fire bell, followed an
instant later by the weird rising
and falling cadences of the fire
siren suddenly paralyzed the mer-
rin,ent of the Fourth of July
crowds and directed their atten-
ton to one of the cleverest exhi-
billions of fire fighting ever wit
Eessed in this part of the state.
The cause of the blaze is I'M
known. 1t is suspected, however,
that it was caused by number
OF convivials celebrating the ma
toms birth in the barn loft, the
ceiebrants being moved through
motives of privacy to withdraw
themselves from the madding
crowds to a haven where the
health of Washington and the
success of the Continental arms
could be drink in due solemnity,
without fear Of intrusion. The
theory finds confederation from
the fact that shortly after the
flames started pouring from the
building, a number variously es-
timated at from ten to fifteen
jumped to the ground from the
upper loft and made a spirited re-
treat from the scene. That none of
them were overcome, or suffered
broken bones, is considered re-
narkable.
So sudden was the outbreak,
and so rapidly did the flames
spread throughout the structure
that the building was considered
doomed. The fire laddies were
scattered all over the city. but in
response to the alarm were soon
gathered at the fire hall, and in
record time three lines of hose
were playing on the structure.
The heat and dense pillows of
smoke put them at a big disad-
vantage, but instead of discourag-
ing them, stimulated their efforts
With the entire rear a shell from
which the roof had fallen i'm, and
with the front almost charred
through before the water was
thrown on. fifteen minutes OF
hard work in the face of desper-
ate odds sufficed to put the blaze
under control.
The barn is the property of j.
P. Reeve, who is building a
double store on the .adjoining
south lot. 1t was stored with con-
slruction materials, lime and ce-
ment, and Contractor Chadder-
den, who has the contract for the
construction work of the new
building, lost a fine, complete set
OF carpenters tools. Little in
surance was carried on the struc-
ture. The loss is estimated at
$4,000.
