MCGOWAN-BELL
WEDDING JULY 26

On Wednesday, July 26th, at the
home of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John MCGOWAN, who reside on
Third Avenue West, occurred the
quiet wedding of Miss Annie M. Nc
Gowan and Elmer F. Bell. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. J. G..
Dickey and only immediate relatives
of the young couple were present.
The bride was neatly and tastefully
gowned in white crepe de chine. Fol-
lowing the ceremony, Mrs. MCGOWAN
served fine luncheon, covers being
laid for six.
The bride is the fourth daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. MCGOWAN and came to
this city with the family from Bis
marck about two years ago, during
which time she has been engaged in
teaching in this vicinity.
Mr.. Bell is a prosperous young
man, the owner of large farm four
miles out Of Gaylord. During the
summer he improved his farm with a
fine two story house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell departed on the
afternoon of their wedding day on a
visit of two weeks with friends at
different Montana points.

DICKINSON DEFEATED
HALLIDAY LAST SUNDAY

Northrop's great pitching defeated
Halliday Sunday 81. To say that
Northrop pitched great game would
be putting it mild, he struck out
eighteen batters and allowed only one
hit. And the one hit was of very
scratchy kind, a slow hit ball down
the third base line which Farmer
beat to first. It was great game
all the way through and the kind
that keeps the fans on their feet all
the nine innings.
Dickinson started well with one
in first when A. La:lo hit for two
sacks and scored on Pippin's two base
drive. One more was added in the
fifth when A. Lano hit for three
sacks end scored on Pippin's single.
The last one for Dickinson was
added in the sixth when Krony hit
for two sacks and continued all the
way home on wild throw to catch
him at third. Halliday got their lone
run in the sixth when Farmer stole
home. The game was enlivened by
some very fast fielding in which
Robinson of Halliday took a promi-
nent part.
Taken all together it was by far
the best game played here this year
and the big crowd that saw it cer.-
tainly got their moneys worth. The
crowd was the largest that have at
tended a game here this year and
there is no question but that if the
team had had that kind Of support
all season the management could have
afforded to keep the team together.
Dickinson plays the All Nations Fri
day and a game will probably be ar
ranged with Amidon here for next
til next week.
Harry Laao had the misfortune of
breaking his shoulder blade in the
exhibition game at Gladstone and
will be out of the game the rest Of
the season. Harry was the backbone
of the hitting for the team and his
club will be sadly missed on Friday.

L|TCH-MACKEY

Maynard Litch, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. D. Litch Of this city, was
quietly married at the Methodist
parsonage at Glendive on July oath,
to Miss Lourenne Mackey Of that city.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
w. B. Bliss and was a complete sur
prise to their friends.
Mr.. Litch is at present interested
with his father in the auto accessory
business. He enjoys wide acquaint-
ance in and about Dickinson as this
has always been his home. He is a
graduate of our high school with the
class of 1910 and for some time was
employed by the Northern Pacific.
The bride is practically stranger
here, but from her sweet disposition
and winning ways, it is safe to say
that she will soon be surrounded by
a host of friends.
The young couple will make their
home for the present with the
groom's parents at their beautiful
home on Second Ave. ard 4th St. w.
The young couple have the best
wishes of all their friends.

PRELIMINARY
R. R, SURVEYS
WILL Be MADE
GORHAM COMMITTEES APPOINT
ED TO SOLICIT NECESSARY
FUNDS.
Amidon Railway Project Also Meeting
With Enthusiastic Support De-
spite Talk to Contrary.

Two enthusiastic railroad meetings
were held the past week, several
prominent Dickinson business and
professional men participating in
both. On Saturday last a mass meet
ing was held at Amidon and on Tues
day at Gorham. The people of the
Amldon vicinity are strongly in
favor of railway to Dickinson, and
are willing to back the project with
their money. The same is true in the
Gorham neighborhood, to which place
northwest branch is being projected
from Dickinson.
There are a number of Slope county
residents, however,, who are Of the
opinion that the Dickinson-Amidon
railroad talk is simply scheme
whereby Amidon expects to retain the
county seat. These people base their
opinion upon the fact that two years
ago, when the matter of locating the
county seat was before the governor,
there was considerable railroad talk
and every indication that the Mil
waukee would be extended from New
England to Amidon Immediately.
This proved but an optomistic bubble.
It may be true that the Amidon
railway talk was originated to large
extent by men interested in retaining
the county seat at that place, but the
people Of Dickinson are entirely in
nocent in the matter. Dickinson
wants more railroads and the people
of the city are willing to put their
shoulders to the wheel and do what
they can. The Press would like to
see a road built to Amidon and then
on to Marmarth and Ekalaka.
The Gorham people cannot be ac-
cused of fostering any county seat re-
tention or removal scheme. They just
want a railroad-and they want it
badly. A large representative crowd
was present at the meeting held in
Gorham Tuesday. Committees have
been appointed and a campaign will
be started Immediately for the raising
of funds to make preliminary sur
vey.

HALLIDAY ATTORNEY IS
CHARGED WITH FORGERY

A warrant was recently sworn out
by Charles Jentzen of Dodge, admin
istrator of the Lyster estate, charg-
ing Attorney Geo. Purchase of Halli-
day with the forging of Jentzen's S
name to an order on Judge Morton of
the county court at Manning, for
< ,1ney belonging to the estate. The
sum is said to be in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
The court honored the order and
gave Purchase the money. Accord
ing to Jentzen, Purchase agreed to
meet him in Halliday on a certain
date and settle up, but instead the
Halliday lawyer went to Bismarck,
where he remained until Deputy
Sheriff Partridge went after him and
brought him back to Killdeer. He
took change of venue from Gray
sons court to Squire Wierson, who
held him for forgery in bonds of
$4,000 to the district court.

MANY MOTT PEOPLE VISIT
DICKINSON SUB-STAT|0N

Nearly a hundred better farming
enthusiasts of Mott and vicinity
autoed to Dickinson on Tuesday last
and spent several hours inspecting
the sub-station at this place. The
many experiment and demonstration
plots are now at their best and every
farmer who views these splendid
tracts learns valuable lesson there
by. More can be learned by close
observation at the sub-station in
three hours than can be learned by
private experiments in a lifetime.
A picnic lunch was brought by the
visitors, and this was thoroughly en-
joyed in the shade of the splendid
grove of trees at the station.
Lemonade was served by the ladies
of tn. farm.
Junketing trips to the sub-station
are beginning to prove very popular.
Several communities arc planning ex-
cursions to inspect the farm and
learn what experience has taught to
it's management.

TWO WELL KNOWN
FIRMS CONSOLIDATE

Doctors Perkins, Bowen, Nachtwey
& Long now occupy one of the finest
suites of physicians offices in the
state. The suite is located in the
Merchants National bank annex, over
Reed Brothers store. The former Of
fees of Drs. Perkins & Nachtwey are
included in the suite, but they have
been remodelcd and rearranged, so
that with additional room they take
care of the four physicians, providing
private and general consultation Of
fees for each, besides reception, Ii
brary and operating rooms.
The eye, ear, nose and throat and
X-ray rooms are especially interesting.
These rooms are perfectly darkened,
and the walls are painted black so
that no refracting rays of light
may enter and hamper the very par
ticular work done in these depart
ments. The operating room and lab
oratory are equipped with latest
scientific instruments which facilitate
the most careful and iagnostic surgi-
cal work. Twelve rooms in all are
being used by the firm to care for
their practice.
The object of the association of
these four well known physicians is
for greater efficiency. They have
purchased the finest X-ray, labora-
tory and operating room equipment
obtainable, and as a result they are
exceptionally we'll equipped to handle
all cases, no matter of what charact-
er. The association will also enable
each doctor, in turn, to take post
graduate and speciality work without
any neglect to their patients. Each
physician of the firm will continue
to care for his Individual cases which
may come to him, and any patient
may have the doctor of his or her
choice.
A trained nurse will be employed,
who will be constantly in attendance
at the offices during business hours.
This feature is another innovation
which will add greatly to the eff
cheney in the care of patients.

FORD AUTOMOBILES TAKE
ANOTHER DROP IN PRICE

The price Of Ford automobiles took
another drop on Tuesday last, the an
nual price revision date at the Ford
plant. The price of the fve-passeng-
er touring car is now $50 less than
it wac last week, dropping from $440
to $3.50, f. .. b. Detroit. With freight
charges added, this brings the COM
plete car to just 4 trife over $4OO,
delivered in Dickinson. The new
price on a runabout is $345, and the
chassis alone, 1925.
Guy Hunter, distributor for the
Ford csr in Dickinson, has enjoyed a
splendid business this summer, and
expects still larger sale3 now when
the price has dropp d. See his large

NORTH DAKOTA GUARD
WANTS AUTO AMBULANCE

Upon solicitation of Captain Mac
Lachlan of the Hospital Corps of the
North Dakota regiment, E. H. Drum
mer Of Bismarck and others have
inaugurated a campaign to raise
funds for the purchase of a motor
ambulance. Every regiment at the
Mexican border, with the exception
of North Dakota, has motor ambu-
lance. The work of the North Dakota
Corps is considerably handicapped,
owing to this deficiency, and the
"boys" call upon their friends to help
them out in their dilemma. The
machine, fully equipped, will cost
$2,700. The amount is not large and
should easily be raised.
The Dickinson Press has been ap-
pointed to receive donations in Dick
inson and vicinity, and friends Of our
soldier boys are requested to help
out in the matter. The committee
asks $3.50 from this city. The cam
paign has already started, and the
donations are beginning to come in.
One Dickinson man started the ball
rolling with a check for $25. Who is
next?
The Dickinson and North Dakota
boys down in Texas will appreciate
the cooperation of our citizens in this
matter, and successful campaign is
anticipated. Make checks payable to
Dickinson Press, Ambulance Fund.
A list Of the donators to the fund
will be published in next weeks issue
of the Dickinson Press.

DUNN CENTER AND K|L[DEER
FIGHT FOR COUNTY SEAT

Both Dunn Center and Killeeer will
be on the election ballots this fall,
both contending for the Dunn county
seat to be moved from Manning to
their respective town. The petitions
have been filed and accepted by the
board Of county commissioners, and
unless one of these towns questions
the legality of the petition Of the
other, then there will be nothing more
doing regarding the question until
the November election.
The Killdeer petition contains 1104
names, while 1011 signatures appears
upon the petition presented by Dunn
Center. 1t appears as though the
voting population of Dunn county
was decidedly on the increase.

DICKINSON BALL PLAYER
BREAKS SHOULDER BONE

Harry Lano, the Dickinson ball
teams star batter and all-round play
er, had the misfortune Of having his
collar bone broken in an exhibition
game played with the Halliday team
at Gladstone on Saturday. A pop-up
fly was batted, and Lano, who was
pitching, turned and ran towards Sec
ond base to catch the ball. It was a
difficult feat and just as he caught
the ball he overbalanced and struck
the ground with great force on his
shoulder. The result was that the
shoulder bone snapped. a
