NEW ORGANIZATION is
PROVING BIG SUCCESS

The management of the Dickinson
Building and Loan Association are
certainly to be. congratulated in the
amount of success they are receiving
in the number of shares taken up to
this date. They felt that if 500
shares were subscribed for by the 1st
of May, that they would start out
with as good showing as anyone
of the other associations in the state
that have made such splendid head
way.
The officers report 795 shares sold
to the time Of going to press and
there are so many inquiries from
others that within a month 1000
shares will easily have been sub
scribed.
This is one illustration Of disinter-
ested service on the part Of the di-
rectorate, in that there will not
accrue to them one cent more than
will be to the entire body of stock
holders.
All books, or enough for business
purposes will be on hand by Monday
next, so that subscribers to stock car
call at the office Of Secretary Orchard
for the purpose Of paying their dues
and membership fees. 9M

THE FEDERAL BUILDING
IT.. SITE ORDERED CLEARED

Another step has been taken in
the matter of erecting and pushing
to completion the new federal build
ing in Dickinson. Postmaster Lish,
custodian of the site, purchased by
the government more than three years
ago, has received notice to immedi-
ately serve written notice upon those
who are occupying space on this
site to move. The site must be
cleared, all buildings, sewer and
water pipes removed and old wells
filed within 60 days from May 4th.
Excavation and foundation construc-
ton. work will undoubtedly commence
Immediately following the clearing Of
the site, and it is expected that Dick
inson's fine new 500, 900 federal build
ing will be pretty well along by the
time the snow flies next fall.
Practically all Of the structures now
remaining on the site are the prop
critics Of Leslie A.. Simpson, G. Il.
Wiley and j. III. Field. ~
The Press has received information
from authoritative Washington
sources that the excavation and
building contract will be let within a
very short time.

FORMER DICKINSON LADY

Mrs. Rosa F. kihm, a prominent

merly of this city, passed away Tues
day noon after years suffering with
the ncurable disease, cancer. De-
ceased had undergone operations at
Milwaukee and New York, returning
home not quite four months ago and
seemingly improving, as friends here
in the city received word about two
weeks ago, stating that prospects for
the patient were quite hopeful. The
message announcing her death, there
fore, was received with surprise.
Mrs. Kihm was the. widow of
Frank Kihm, whose death occurred
in May, 1914. She leaves four chill
dren, Victor F. Kihm, Edith M: Kihm,
Frances J. Kihm and Mrs. Ray G.
Watkins, all residing at Billings, to
mourn her death.
The Kihms moved to Dickinson
from Bismarck in the early nineties,
taking charge of the old Willard, then
the st. Charles and later building the
Kihm hotel, which he ran in con-
nection with the other. The latter
still retains the name Of the former
owner, and now belongs to Chas.
Nolan. Mr.. and Mrs. Kihm were
quite prominent in the city's busi-
ness and social life, the former act
ing for years on the council board
and also being elected to that po-
sition at Billings, where they moved
some nine years ago, having pur-
chased the Commercial hotel. Mrs.
Kihm was still proprietor Of this
popular place, her son, Victor, acting
as manager. They left host OF
friends among the Dickinson old tim
ers.

week is Clean-Up-Week, and every
resident Of the city is urged and re-

year.

BRAKEMAN HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH

A serious accident occurred to
Brakeman B. E. Kennedy Tuesday
morning at about 9:30 o'clock as the
train was just leaving Taylor. He
was hanging to the side of a box
car, giving signals when he collided
with a telephone post that was
loosened by the recent rains and in
clined toward the track. He was
knocked down but managed to catch
hold Of the lowest step and held on
for dear life, being dragged four car
lengths. He was finally seen and
the train stopped. When. found, he
was unconscious and remained in that
condition for three hours.
He was brought home on the after
noon train and taken to the Glen
dive hospital on No. Wednesday
morning, accompanied by Brakeman
Baker. Mrs. Kennedy received word
soon after that her husband was re-
covering nicely. It was lucky for him
that he held his grip to the car after
being struck, as that was all that
saved him.

FAMED y, {, r.
CASE MAY COME
UP FOR TRIAL
SISTER OF JAY ALLEN CALD.
WELL TTEMPTING TO
BRING ACTION.
She is Still Firm Believer That
~. c. r." is Her Brother-Father
Says He is Imposter.

It begins to look as though another
chapter may be added to the already
nation famed 81. C. R." case. An
action, it is rumored, is being started
by Mrs. Mae Luff-Moran of South
Dickinson, who claims that 81. C. R."
is her long missing brother, Jay
Allen Caldwell, a former wealthy
young rancher of the Taylor vicinity.
Jay mysteriously disappeared from
the home ranch October 18th, 1907.
He was never heard from until
81. C. R." was brought to Dickinson
from Chicago by parties who claimed
he was the missing man.
James H. Caldwell, the father,
maintained that the man was an i'm
poster, and the case was finally
thrown out of court as the chief NOV
ers in the game failed to appear at
the trial.
81. C. r." who is partially paral-
yzed and unable to speak or write,
finally drifted to Dickinson again and
since then has been living almost con-
stantly at the home of Mrs. Luff- Mo-
ran, who still believes that he is her
brother.
Jay Allen Caldwell possessed prop
erty to the value of perhaps 100000
when he disappeared. Mr. Caldwell,
ST., is now making at attempt to pro-
bate a portion Of this property, and
that is what is melting his daughter
to action.
It is understood that Mrs. Luff- Mo-
ran, together with relatives on her
mothers side, are making an attempt
to engage attorneys to again take up
the case in the behalf of the mysteri-
Gus ~. C. r." who is believed to be
a rank imposter by many. Then
again, many of Jay Allen Caldwell's
friends seem to be Of the opinion
that ~. c. r." the man Of mystery,
and Jay, are one and the same.

music a success, there being twenty
three in the choir. Mrs. D. D. Mars

morning and evening instilled the
true Easter spirit. Miss Ruth Butler

smith. The sermon by Rev. A. G..
Hacke was very appropriate and i'm
pressive.

lowed by the St. Roses Sodality and
they in turn by the Young Ladies'

the day and Mrs. A. P. Nachtwey
sang the Gave Maria" by Millard.

northeastern part of the city, held its

due at some other parish for Easter
Sunday. The church was decorated
with flowers and special singing was
arranged. ..

STEERS FED ON S|LAGE
SELL At FANCY PRICE

Chas. Corbett, we'll known Belfield
meat market man, went out Friday to
the w. J. Motley & Son farm on An
telope creek, south of Dickinson, and
purchased a carload of silage fed
steers, which averaged 140O pounds
each in weight. The price paid by
Mr.. Corbett averaged over $100 per
head, Motley & Son realizing be-
tween $35 and $40 per head over
what they paid for these steers last
fall. There are two silos in use on
the Motley farm, which is noted for
the turning out Of some of the finest
cattle in the entire Slope country.
Mr.. Corbett has been in the habit
of shipping in his meat from St.
Paul, because Of the scarcity of prop
erly fattened cattle in the Belfeld
locality. He stated to a Press repre-
sentative that the stock purchased
on the Motley farm was of much
better grade, however, than he could
secure in St. Paul. Another argu-
ment for the silo.

Premier BRAND has decided, in the
interest of the economic organization
of the country, to throw the old ad-

the ministers, under secretaries and
directors forming part of the new
ministry. The most absolute powers
will be granted to them, and if it is
found that the methods meet resist

taken. The composition of the new
