Stranger l. Frozen to Death Near
Mclaughlin.

Wolsey, Feb. 10.-F. Nj. Whittecar,
justice OF the peace at Mclaughlin.
has written to Wolsey to ascertain
if G.. M. Allen, Of Wolsey, is the
name of a man who was frozen to
death while going from Fort Yates,
N. d., TO a farmhouse west of the
Missouri river. a number of miles
west of Fort Yates. The stranger
registered with several others at the
Mclaughlin hotel the morning before
his death, and afterward left for Fort
Yates. From the latter town he
started to travel by automobile TO the
farm he wished TO visit. On the way
ii became extremely cold and stormy.
and the automobile driver told his
passenger he would have to stop at a
farmhouse some distance ahead, over
night. The passenger said he would
walk. as he had become cold in the
automobile. The driver went ahead,
but the man failed 10 reach the farm
house and was found next day. frozen

NUMBER HOUSES
INCONVENIENCE RESULTING
FROM DELAY IN SEARCHING
FOR ADDRESSES, POINT
ED OUT.

1t is probable that the Merchants
association will request all residents
of the city as well as owners Of bust
ness houses, who have not already
done so. to place street numbers on
their buildings.
Madison has now reached a size
which warrants the numbering of al
houses, not only for the convenience
of the vast numbers of strangers who
search the city for addresses each
year, but for the accommodation of
local deliyerymen, letter carriers and
residents generally, in the opinion Of
William Rowland, secretary of the
Merchants association. 1t is sug-
gested that the various buildings be
numbered before the new automatic
telephone directories are printed, so
that the street addresses as well as
the telephone numbers, may be given.
While there is no city ordinance,
which makes compulsory the number
ing of houses, mail carriers need not.
under a federal law. deliver mail at a
house on which there is no street
number. Some years ago, the city
council purchased house numbers
and gave them free to residents.
Mayor George II. Waskey said to-
day that he believed that some steps
toward numbering dwellings should
be taken, and that it is possible the
city commission will take the matter
under advisement.
