BROTHER TRIES RESCUE

Robert Bennett, 16 years old, was
drowned in the Des Moines river at
the yellow banks, three miles above
the mouth, yesterday afternoon. The
body has not been recovered. The
stream is SO deep at that point that
dragging is unsuccessful. Dynamite
was resorted to this morning, with
out success.
Young Bennett in company with his
brother William, and four neighbor
boys, Edward Cady, Robert Cady.
Harry Cady and Robert Johnson,
went to the river to take a cooling
dip. None of the boys IS able TO
swim very well, it is said.
Formerly the river at that point had
not been so deep, but the high water
this spring had caused the channel to
shift and the stage of water in the
river is unusually high for this time
of the year. The water here is now
about fifteen feet deep. A strong I'M
dertow adds to the danger.
When the boys reached the bank,
Robert Bennett prepared to take a
swim. He was the first to enter the
water. Almost Immediately he found
himself beyond his depth, and cried
for help. His brother William, re-
sponded. BY hard exertion he man
aged to reach Robert, who xrasped
his belt William tried to reach the
shore with his brother, but when
within a few feet of the bank, his
strength was exhausted. He was
dragged under by the undertow. The
strong current broke his brothers
hold, and the pair separated. William
reached the bank after hard
struggle. Robert sank and was car
ried away. He was not seen to rise
after sinking when hereleased his
grasp on his brothers belt.
Chief Hennemann Of the local police
force was Immediately notified, as was
j. S. Burrows, acting coroner. Mr..
Hennemann sent Joseph and Luther
McAdams to the scene With their
launch, to aid in dragging the stream.
Robert Bennett was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Bennett living on
the johnson street road. about six
miles from the city. He would have
been seventeen years old in Septem.
ber He was popular lad in the
community. He was well known in
Feckuk, and had many friends he:o.

Two Good
Blacksmith Shops
During the time of the coun-
try's alternating period, or a
good part of it, there was not a
blacksmith shop in Springfield;
or for that matter in the whole
county.
We believe the first in the
county started at Stonington, the
second at Villas, and the third at
Springfield, but are not sure OF
the dates.
Onda Young started the first
one here, but apparently this at
that time was not a good field,
as when the segregation project
started he moved his shop to
Two Buttes.
Several years then elapsed be-
fore another blacksmith could be
induced to come into town or to
engage in the blacksmith busi-
ness.
Lee Holmes
finally opened up on a small
scalo in little shack
facing the avenue east of the
present Barler restaurant.
That was before the settle.
ment found its way into the
western half of the county, and
there were consequently times
when Lee Holmes pounded his
anvil more for appearances than
for work there was on hand.
But people soon learned not
only that Lee. Holmes was a
blacksmith, but that his prices
we're on q live.and-let-live-basis
and that he was accommodating,
and expeditions with his work.
His business consequently
grew, and after the settlement
began to drive into this Spring
field territory, it became appar-
ent that the shop should have a
hetterlocation and more cOmmo-
dious quarters.
Consequently two years ago
he built his present shop en-
Main street, since which time
work has been away ahead Ct his
capacity
1t isn't necessary to tell the
public that Lee is first-class in
his line of work. His customers
all know that, and heconsequent-
ly has had aud will continue to
have all the work he can do.
Frank Ashley
is ourother blacksmith. Whereas
there were many yearsherewhen
there was nothing for one shop
to do, after the Springfield set
tlement was completed it became
obvious that there would be work
for two shops-and then some.
Mr.. Ashley started his shop on
north Main street over a year
ago, and from that time to this
there has been work for several
days and sometimes q week or
two ahead.
Mr.. Ashley is right up TO the
minute in the quality of work he
turns out. and is expeditions and
accommodating. and his prices
also are of the live-and-let-live
order.
Mr.. Ashley has claim south
west of town, and just nov his
helper, j. T. Laird, is working
the bellows and pounding the
anvil while Mr.. Ashley is help
ing his family hold down his
claim. Mr.. Laird, like his em-|
ployer, is also an Al at his
work. He has been in the shop
for aometime as a helper, and
may become a permanent FIX
ture.

The 18th Was Quiet
Day In Our Village

In consideration of the Third An
nual Corn and Alfalfa Picnic, which
is an all Williams County occasion,
and will be held at the Experimental
Farm July 14th, Williston did not
celebrate independence Day, but her
citizens attended the large number of
interesting celebrations and picnicss
held in the surrounding towns and
country places.
Springbrook, Wildrose and Cotton
wood Lake had splendid programs of
events, putting on the usual celebra-
ton features with some new ones
added. Springbrook had an unusual
ly large crowd and a fine program of
sports. Springbrook and Epping
played ball, excellent music was fur
nished by the local band, and Attor-
ney H. w. Braatelien of Williston de-
livered a thoughtful and timely ad-
dress.
Both Wildrose and Cottonwood
Lake were favored with large crowds
and had plenty doing all day for
amusement The exceptionally good
Crosby Band played at Wildrose. At
torney VIM. G. Owens delivered pa
triotic addresses at both places speak
ing at Cottonwood Lake in the after
noon and Wildrose in the evening.
His efforts are spoken of as being ex-
ceptionally good and replete with in
terest.
At Gromatka's grove the annual
Good Roads Picnic was held, which
was attended by about two hundred
people from the surrounding country
and Williston. AS unusually pleasant
day was spent with plenty to eat and
plenty to entertain. W. N. Dickinson
and Geo. Gilmore delivered patriotic
addresses that were we'll received.
Secretary F. A. Morrill, of the Will
liston Commercial Club spoke on good
roads. The Rose Hill team won an
interesting ball game from a Will
liston team by a score of 10 to 9.
A bowery dance was held in the even
ing.
Several other picnic parties were
made up. At one held in Muddy Val
ley, ball game was the principle fea-
ture with such we'll known athletics
as Tim Mahonev, Tom Hogan. Henry
Greengard, Spike Harvey, Paul and
Geo. Leonhardy and Fred Kliensorge
figuring in the line-ups. Judge Frank
Fisk umpired the game and contempt
of court did not deter the struggling
amateurs from entering numerous OBJ
jections to his honor's decisions.
Another picnic was held at China
mans Coulee, and one at Hungry
Gulch, a few went to Glendive and
some to Miles City. With it all the
city of Williston was the quietests SPOT
on the map. All the excitement the
stay-at-homes could find was the re-
turns from the Glendlve
game.

Miss bennett To Open
Commercial College

Miss Florence A. bennett who has
for years been at the head of the
commercial department of the Will
liston public schools has resigned her
position and announces that she will
open a commercial college about Sep,
tember 1. The new institution will
occupy the second floor of the First
National bank building now under con-
struction at Main and Broadway.
Miss bennett has gained and en-
viable reputation as thorough and
competent instructor and a CONNER
cial school under her direction will
without doubt offer exceptional oppor-
tunity for those seeking that kind Of
training.
The Williston territory offers a wide
field for such an institution which will
not only serve useful purpose but
be an addition to the business roll of
the CITY.
