Rul1lOr Current that
the Northern Pacific
May Build Branches

There is a rumor current that the
directors Of the Northern Pacific
railway are contemplating branch
line work out of this city, because
of the extensive improvements now
under way in the local railway yards.
The round house is being rebuilt, ma
chine and car shops enlarged, in fact
the entire yardage and shop equip
ment in Dickinson is being improved
and modernized. Some venture the
guess that the Northern Pacific will
make a proposition for the purchase
of the newly organized Dickinson and
Southwestern railway, as soon as
actual construction work commences.
Anyway, Dickinson is due for big
boom, both in the building and busi-
ness line. There should be a million
dollars in new buildings go up in this
city next summer. Watch us grow,
and become the railway center, as
we'll as the metropolis Of the Mis-
souri, Slope.

Hustle and NerUe
Only Requirements
For Making Money

Herman Gabbert, a young farmer
residing three miles west of Lefor,
furnished striking example Of what
work and hustle can do on farm in
the Missouri Slope. Just eleven
years ago he came to North Dakota
from Wright County, MINI. He came
without money, but with lots of grit.
Now he owns fine farm, upon which
he is just completing a modern $4,000
residence, II head of horses and 21
head of stock, besides similar num-
ber of cattle that he sold this sum-
mer. Last year he harvested 5000
bushels of grain, but this year his
crop is somewhat short-but prices
are long, and Mr.. Gabbert does not
worry. He sold large quantity Of
flax at $3.50 per bushel, and his wheat
is bringing over SLIGO mark. Mr..
Gabbert not only met with prosperity
in North Dakota, but he also secured
his wife here.

NEW ENGLAND DOCTOR
is EXONERATED ON
MALPRACTICE CHARGE

An interesting case was concluded
in the district court at Mott the
past week. About two years ago
Adam Hahn, farmer residing near
New England, had his hand caught
in feed mill and terribly lacerated
and crushed. H was atten ded by
DR.. George A. Sarchet of New Eng
land, but the wounds did not heal
properly and as a result some Of the
bones of the hand had to be subSe-
quently removed, causing some of
the fingers Of this hand to become
useless. Because Of this Mr.. Hahn
brought suit against DR.. Sarchet,
charging malpractice. Among other
witnesses, expert testimony by DR.. j.
w. Bowen and DR.. H. A. Davis, was
called for.
1t developed during the trial that
the defendant did all that was pos
sible for the case, and as a result the
jury found for the doctor, and the
suit was dismissed, Attorney w. F..
Burnett of Dickinson represented DR..
Sarchet.

ANNUAL N. F.
CONFERENCE
COMES HERE
QUEEN CITY WILL ENTERTAIN
TWO HUNDRED PREACHERS
NEXT YEAR.
Sessions Will Continue For An Entire
Week-Many Church Laymen
Will Also Attend.

Over two hundred Methodist preach
ers and about a hundred laymcn will
gather in Dickinson in October next
year for the annual conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church of North
Dakota. This decision was made at
the conference held in jamestown last
week, just before the close of the ses-
sion. Dickinson's success in landing
the convention is due in large meas
ure to Rev. r. H. Craig, the forceful
pastor of the St. Paul's M. E. church
in this city.
The people of the "Queen City" are
glad the preachers and the church
laymen are coming. Every effort will
be made to make their stay both pleas
ant and profitable, and the character
istic western hospitality, for which
our city is far-famed, will prevail. 1t
is expected that the handsome new
Methodist church will be completed in
ample time to accommodate some of
the sessions. The larger gatherings
will undoubtedly be held in the
armory.
New Appointment
The Methodist pastors for a por-
tion of the Missouri Slope for the
ensuing year, are as follows:
DR.. j. G. Moore, Bismarck, re-elect-
ed superintendent.
Beach-Ira Hammer.
Bowman and Rhame-C. C. Benson.
Dickinson-R. H. Craig.
Fryburg-J. C. Cooke.
Hettinger-N. l.. Rockwell.
Killdeer and Dunn Center-W. C.
Bennett.
Marmarth-C. u. Prior.
Mineral Springs-Peder Knudson.
MOTIF. w. Gress.
Slope Center-P. A. Fritch.
Taylor and Gladstone-P. A. Dean.
Considerable anxiety was evidenced
by members of the M. E. congregation
in this city as to whether or not Rev.
Craig would be returned, and it was
with genuine pleasure that they re-
ceived affirmative news over the wire.

PIONEER WOMAN IS
CLAIMED BY DEATH

Last Saturday afternoon at $50
o'clock, Mrs. w. H. Hanson, sur
rounded by all her family, quietly
passed away at her home on Sims
Street, after a lingering illness OF al
most year.
Mary Ellen Hanson was born at
Luana, Iowa., on June 13, 1856. She
was the only child of John and Mary
Lowcock, who came from England
about 1910. She received a common
school education and on January 9th,
1880, was married to William H.
Hanson. About ten years ago the
family came to North Dakota, settl-
ing on ranch 60 miles southwest of
Dickinson, near Ranger, and are now
classed among the prosperous ranch
ers in that community.
About six weeks ago Mrs. Hanson's
condition grew worse and the family
thought it best to move her to Dick
inson, where it would be more con-
venient for her to be under doctors
care. Accordingly a house was
rented on Sims Street, where Mrs.
Hanson, under the care of two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Ellen Overlook and Miss
Florence Hanson, resided until she
passed away.
Mrs. Hanson was a most patient
sufferer. She was a member Of the
Methodist church, having joined when
quite young and having been firm
| Christian since then.
Funeral services were held at the
/ house, beginning at 1890 on Tuesday
morning. A quartet from the
Methodist choir, consisting Of Mes
danes Hugh Roberts and D. D. Mars
and Wilson Eyer and VIM. Noggle
rendered several appropriate hymns
The sermon was delivered by Johr
Orchard, an old time friend of the
family, who spoke consolingly to the
bereaved ones. VIM. Noggle, H. l.
Holdren, VIM. Follis, J. B. Delaney
Wilson Eyer and Allen Harlemar
acted as pail bearers. 1nterment wa:
made in the Dickinson cemetery.
Deceased leaves to mourn her, be-
sides her husband, her children, Mrs
Allen Overlook, Mrs. Imogene Gerbig
Miss Florence, and John, Robert an<
Harold Hanson, all residing in tn
vicinity of the parental home. Other
from out of town present at tn
services were neighboring ranchers
Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Holdren and Mr.
and Mrs. J. P. Lebo. Mr.. and Mrs
Chas. Williams of Oelwein, Iowa, ais
arrived for the funeral, Mrs William
being Mr.. Hanson's sister:
Deep sympathy is extended the sor
rowing ones.

CONGREGATIONAL
PASTOR COMING { SOON

The congregation of the Congrega-
tional church and the public generally
are interested in the coming of the
Rev. J. C. Duling from Iowa as the
pastor to succeed the Rev. A. C.
Hacke, who resigned the pastorate
last summer:
The church decided at the time of
the resignation Of M. Hacke the
avoidance Of candidating for man,
preferring the work and life of such
during his past years as sufficient
reason for q call, rather than the en-
.barrasing position of pulpit work for
q few Sundays. It is quite evident
that there has been a most careful

daughters, the eldest being rs and
the youngest. 8, all Of whom are good
musicians, 71violinists and pianists. He
has. been in his present pastorate in
Garden Grove, Iowa, for five years.
Several extracts from those who

most flattering testimony to his ef-
fciency as speaker ;.nd public

His home paper of recent date gives
this pungent testimony: "Mr. Duling
was. in splendid form in his sermon
and delivered one of his best, and
those who know him know what that

BILLINGS COUNTY FAIR
PROVES BIG SUCCESS

The Billings county fair, held at
Fryburg on Friday and Saturday of
last week, was pulled off according
to schedule. The exhibits were small
but the quality of everything shown
was exceptionally good.
The floral department, in charge of
Mrs. Grover Meisner, was a beautiful
one, and the school exhibit was one
of the best ever shown ON the Mis-
souri, Slope. The culinary department
was one grand display Of good things
to eat, and the fancy work section
demonstrated that Billings county
ladies could do intricate things with
their hands besides cooking.

L0VlN WILL CONTEST
BEGUN IN CALIFORNIA

Attorney and Mrs. Leslie A. Simp-
son departed on No. | Thursday
morning for Chico, California, via
Portland, Oregon. Attorney Simpson
was called to California in connection
with the contest of the will of the
late John H. Lovin of Hettinger
county.
Mr.. Lovin, pioneer of the Regent
vicinity in Hettinger county, was the
possessor of considerable wealth, his
fortune being estimated at over
$4,000. He made all of this money
in Hettinger county, to which place
he moved several years ago from
Pisek, this state. Early last spring
while sojourning in California, he
took sick and died, leaving a will
which favored his surviving widow
and some of his favorite children.
Three of his eight children took ex-
ception to the will and filed suit to
have it set aside, charging undue in.
fluence on the part of Mrs. Lovin and
the children who remained at home,
Dispositions will be taken in the case
and expert testimony has been called
from doctors who attended him dur
ing his illness and from those who
drew up the will.
Mrs. Lovin has been spending the
greater portion of the time since her
husbands death in her Hettingel
county home, and joined Mr.. and
Mrs. Simpson on Wednesday on theil
trip to California, to be present at
the hearing. Mr.. Simpson is Mrs
Lovin's attorney, and will defend the
wording of the will, and the wish OF
the deceased as expressed in the in:
strument. Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson will
return in about ten days.

LOADED BUNDLES DO
DAMAGE TO MACHINE

George D. Perry of Belield, next
county commissioner from the First
district of Stark county, while in the
city this week reported that some
miscreant had "loaded" several
bundles of grain on. the Davis Bros.
farm near that city, occasioning much
damage to the separator. Several
articles of hardware, including a
chain, wrench and horseshoe, were
found concealed in bundles in the
grain stacks. A horseshoe went
through the machine and resulted in
considerable damage to the machine.
No clue has been obtained as to who
did the deed, but it is thought that
some dissatisfied laborer on the farm
during the farming season had done
the trick to get even with the Davis
brothers. ....+

electric light shades served to cast q
soft, weird glow over the entire as
