. \
C.. w. Blakely came in on the 3rd
to make three year homestead proof
before U. S. Commissioner Rooney
for fine tract of land southwest OF
town short distance. His witnesses
were Elmer Gilman and Alonzo
Nichols.
Miss Cora Grundwall, a homestead.
er in the Fayette country, and who
had been visiting at the John Ma
rucheck home for month, went to
the Walt .Rosendahl place the past
week and expected to return to Dick
lnson within a short time.
DR.. Oscar Smith of Killdeer was at
tending to some calls in this place
the past week, also looking after
some business matters. He is a mem
ber of the Grassy Butte Mercantile
Co. land is a mighty fine fellow 60
meet.
c. F. Siegmund, who works for
Wyeth Luttrell on the old Brien ranch.
was in Grassy Butte on the 7th en-
route to Killdeer with a load of the
Luttrell flax. Fred Siegmund is
known in Dickinson, having worked
there for Engineer Archie Dingman
on his farm southwest of the city.
On November 6 Earl Wakefield took
the L. E. Godfrey flax crop of four
sacks into Killdeer in his car and
received therefor $25. He loaded
back with 500 or 600 feet of finishinp
lumber for the Godfrey pool hall and
got home in good season, notwith
standing the poor condition of the
roads. This is surely making the
most of a Ford runabout car.
Frank E. Hays of the Clinton Falls
Nursery Co., Minnesota, delivered
quite a quantity of trees in this To-
cality the first of the month. Before
engaging in the tree business Mr..
Hays was engaged in trade at New

machinist in the aviation department,
it is understood, and when he wrote
last he was Of the opinion that he
would soon get chance to cross the
ocean into France.
The Pat Lay auction sale on the
9Th was not so bad. The weather
was fine and there was a fair sized
crowd on hand to hear Ed. Smith crv
the sale which totaled around $500.
One cow sold for $85, and, like W.. "A.
Wax at his sale early in the fall, the
owner bid in two Of his horses.
Many people, however, were of the
opinion that he would have done bet
ter to have accepted the best bid.

Lyon, came out from Dickinson last
week en- route to their ranches IT
miles west. Mr.. Lyon, ST., has a
homestead between the ranches Of
his sons, Reuben and Bobbie. Mrs.

husband, remained for a few days,
