Pioneer Answers
The Final Call
frank Davidson. Here in 1890
Succumbs Following OPP
Grafton for Appended
tbs at Dickinson
Hospital.

Frank Davidson, among the
first foremen stationed OH the To-
cal section, and resident of the
Golden Valley since 1890, passed
away at the Dickinson hospital
Saturday morning following COM
plications resulting from an oper-
alton from appendicitis a few
days before his death.
Mr.. Davidson was we'll known
here as one of the most interest
ing figures of pioneer days. His
story of early pioneer life from
tI,e standpoint of a railroad man
forms an interesting chapter in the
history of this locality. when
blazing rainless summer skies
and roaring winter billiards. eff
feclually precluded the fondest
dreams of agriculture conquest
which the Valley has since
known. His passing removes an
other link connecting the arid
past with a bountiful present.
Eleven years ago, his prophe-
tic vision came to the fore and he
settled on a ranch eight miles
north of Sentinel Butte, where
with his family he has since made
his home, and bent his efforts to
bringing the Valley into its own.
His demise is profoundly regret
ted.
Mr.. Davidson was born in Swe-
den. Being impressed at an early
ase with the lack of old country
advantages. he saved up enough
money to immigrate TO this coun-
try, shortly after his arrival be-
ing assigned to his duties as sec
lion foreman at what is now
Beach. He leaves widow, and
four children, John Davidson. in
the restaurant business at Sen
tinel Butte, and Lily Davidson,
Mrs. Ole Hegseth and Mrs.
Charles Waldahl, of north of
Sentinel Butte.
Funeral services were held
Monday at the Sentinel Butte Con-
gregational church, Rev. Larsen,
of Taylor, officiating. The fun
eral was among the largest ever
held in that vicinity.

W. j. Bjerke Has
Awful Experience
Five Days and Nights, in Open
With Broken Leg and
Without Food or
Water.

Alone in the open, under the
seething sun by day and the damp
chill OF night, for five days and
live nights. with a broken leg and
his body so badly bruised he was
unable to help himself was the
terrible experience of w. J. Bier
Ike. a farmer living six miles north
of Beach, following runaway
week ago Friday morning. Near,
ly insane with his suffering, made
possible by a pain dulling delir-
lum, Bjerke was finally able to
crawl from the scene of the ac-
cident into a cornfield near the
Odland place, where he managed
to make hired man at work in
the field near hear his cries for
help, sinking into unconscious
ness with the effort.
The story of his battle against
death. alone, without food or
water during five terrible days of
suffering will never be told.
Brerke having but a hazy menu
ory OF events following the day
of the accident. According to
his story, he had hitched up his
team and was hauling a load of
grain, when the team took fright
and ran away, Bjerke being
thrown to the ground where the
heavy swaying load passed over
him and crushed his leg. Just
how it happened is unknown, but
in some manner he became en-
tangled under the load and was
rolled. like fly between two
hands, his body being a mass of
bruises. The hot sun blistered
his skin, and insects which he was
unable to fight added to his mis-
cry. That he. survived is mir
acle. By last desperate effort
made possible by pain-deadened
nerves, he was able to drag him.
self to point where he finally
attracted the attention of a man
in the field.
The wreckage was found about
a quarter of a mile from the point
where Bjerke was found. One
horse was skinned up and bruis-
ed. but will recover. The dead
body of the other horse, badly de-
composed, was found in the adj
jacent creek bed.
The badly injured man was
hurried to the Slough hospital,
where he is receiving the best of
care and attention. Thanks to
a splendid constitution, he stands
a good chance to recover.
