CATHERINE WILSON
IS 80 YEARS OLD
Kent Wilson's Grandmother
Celebrates Birthday
at Jackson.

Mrs. Catherine Wilson, grandmother
Of Postmaster r. Kent Wilson of Jack
son, yesterday celebrated her SOth
birthday at the home Of her grandson
in Jackson with whom she has been
living for the last six years.
Mrs. Wilson spent her birthday very
quietly, receiving the congratulations
of circle of her close friends and
relatives. By reason Of the fact that
a relative of Mrs. Wilson's is i'll in
Jackson, a birthday celebration OF
greater proportions was abandoned.
Mrs. Wilson is a native of Perry
County and her folks originally came
from North Carolina where the family
settled in the early history of this
country. Mrs. Wilson is a member of
the Knox family, members of which
we're active in the days of the Revo-
lutionary War.
She was born in Brazcau, County,
where she spent her early life. In
1885 she was married to Richard 7.
Wilson and the couple then moved
from Brazeau to ShawnectOwn. Her
husband died in 1854 and they had but
one son, Robert Wilson, who came to
jackson and became a lawyer. He
died 20 years ago.
He was married to Miss Lille Sci
bert, of st. Louis, d sister of former
St Louis Excise Commissioner James
N. Seibert, and likewise SISTER C.
David D. Seibert, st. Louis politician.
She has two great grandchildren, the
children of Mr.. and Mrs. r. X. Will
son. They are Bobbie Wilson, years
old, and Irene Wilson, 5.
Mrs. Wilson also has four brothers
and two sisters who are, William, Ben
and James Knox of Perry County;
John Knox, of Jackson; Mrs. Price, of
Golden City, and Mrs. Joseph Lane, Of
Brazeau. Two of the brothers, Ben
and John Knox, are older than Mrs.
Wilson herself.

terms Of revised constitution" Mr.
Atkinson declared, "and that, as l see
it, is one of the big reasons why we
ought to have new constitution. We
want to save the drainage district. We
must not allow it to be hindered in its
operation"
Such suits as Cape County's bridge
suit would constitutionally have a
crock placed over them in Mr. Akin
sons new constitution. Mr.. Atkinson
was entertained while in the Cape ami
Cape County by r. r. Oliver, leadir
counsel for the Little River Drainala
District, and leader in its organize
ton. He started feebSS rounds of APP
plause for Mr. Atkinson at several
jucntures in his address.
A crowd of about 400 men and WON
en- attended the meeting in the park to
hear Mr.. Atkinson A large number
of the men were Republicans.

Alex Swanson WedS
Minneapolis Girl

Quite a surprise was sprung on
the many friends of Alex Swanson
at this place last Monday when
announcements were received
bringing the news of the happy
union of Mr.. Alexander C. Swan
son to Miss Julia A. Aarnes of
Minneapolis, Mimi, on Saturday,
June 3rd.
Mr.. Swanson, who is at present
manager of a large hotel at Ait
kin, Mimi, is so we'll known here,
having proved up on a homestead
over on Stony Butte, that there
is very little we can say about
him, except that he is prince of
a fellow and one of the best hotel
men in the northwest. He was
for years manager of the Jordan
Hotel at Glendive. They will be
at home at Aitkin after July 1st.
The many friends of Mr.. Swan
son join with the Banner in ex-
tending hearty congratulations to
the newly-welds.

Sneak Thieves Break
Into Homestead Shack
Special to The Banner.)

Correll Creek is assuming a
metropolitan air. A genuine
house breaking stunt was pulled
off in our neighborhood last
week. While John g. Mahlstedt
was in Circle on business and his
hired man at work in the field,
a bold sneak thief broke the lock
from the door of his house and
stole caps, shirts and sundry arti-
cles. He also broke open the
trunk and took several valuable
papers. There rests suspicion on
a certain party, and If the papers
are not returned, search war
rant will be obtained and no
means spared to expose the guilty
party.

Chas. Hamb|in Shot
And Seriously Wounded

A shooting affray which came
very near ending the life of Chas.
w. Hamblin, took place last Tues
day morning at the Hamblin post
Office. some twenty miles northwest
of here, when Mr.. Hamblin was
shot and seriously wounded by
Burt Solley of that place.
We understand there has been
some trouble brewing between the
two gentlemen for some time, and
that last Tuesday morning they hap
pened to meet in the garage at that
place, when they had il out again.
1t is reported that some time ago
Solley had pulled a gun on Mr..
Hamblin, but that Hamblin took it
away from him. When they
exchanged words last Tuesday Mr..
Solley pulled a revolver on him
again, stating that he was going to
shoot him and Mr.. Hamblin ans
wered You don't dare," where
upon he pulled the trigger and
fired, the bullet striking Mr.. Ham
film in the breast on the right side.
George Reynolds of that place
Immediately started to Wolf Point
with the wounded man and, as they
left, Mr.. Solley jumped in the car
with them, going along as far as
Kellogg, where he gave himself up
to Deputy Sheriff Arthur Paulson.
Mr.. Paulson, accompanied by Geo.
Hall, brought the prisoner down
here where he was turned over to
Deputy Bell. who took him to

Stafford Of Union
Hurt In Runaway

Ernest Stafford, of Union, met
with a rather serious accident last
Monday morning while On his way
to Circle, near Mount Antelope.
Mr.. Stafford, accompanied by
Levi HENDERSON, was driving a
team of broncos when DR.. Robson,
The Dentist, came along in his
Ford, passing them. The team
did not seem scared at all at first
until after he had passed by, when
they started off on a dead run.
Being in buggy with the top up
the gentlemen were unable to con-
troll the team and after running
ways the buggy hit a deep rut
in the road and upset, throwing
the occupants out.
Mr.. Stafford was cut up in the
face quite bad and was brought to
Circle Immediately by DR.. Robson
where his wounds were attended
to by DR.. Koehler. At present
Mr. Stafford is getting along as
well as can be expected.
Mr.. Hendrixon was also bruised
up quite bit. The buggy is a
thing of the past, being all
smasked up. The horses were
caught and got out of it uninjured.

Splendid Turnout At
Watkins Doings

Quite a large delegation of Circle
residents autoed up to the Fairviev
Schoolhouse near Watkins last Fri
day to take in the Argyle Farmers
Institute, both the local ball team
and band going up, besides num-
Der of others.
The day was an ideal one with
the exception of being trife windy,
and an enormous large crowd was
present.
The first on the program was a
big Community Dinner and it
was no small task for the Watkin's s
ladies to feed such large crowd,
but they were prepared, and we for
one do not hesitate to say that it
was some feed."
Besides interesting speeches made
by agriculturists, Piper and Tay-
lor, there was a splendid school
program rendered, in which the
pupils under the able training of
their teacher, Miss Seiquist, did
some excellent work. There were
also fine musical selections, vocal
solos, etc.
But we must not forget the ball
game between Circle and Watkins.
That's when the real fun begun,
but the locals proved to be too
much for them and won by a score
of Is to s. Burdett pitched the
entire game for Circle, and it must
be said, did some excellent work.
Karney and Hide pitched for the
the Watkins nine.
After the ball game there was all
kinds of steer and broncho riding,
foot races, ETC.. all of which furr4
nished heaps of fun'' for the spec
tators.
The Circle Band furnished music
throughout the day which was
highly appreciated.
The list of prize winners is as
