dreds of friends and patrons scatter
ed throughout western North Dakota,
was one of the states veteran travel
ing statesmen il point of service. He
came to North Dakota Is years ago to
sell groceries, locating at Fargo.
Four years later when Bismarck be-
gan to assume prominence. as a job
bling center, Harry Barwind was one
of the first Gate City statesmen to es-
tablish headquarters here. He then
took up his home at the Grand Paci-
fic, among whose oldest guests he
was numbered.
Harry Barwind was high-grade
salesman and splendid type of citi-
zen. OF recent years he represented
in this territory Overwhelming
Brown Wholesale Grocery Co. of Du-
luth, and he ranked at the head of
this company's sales force. The de-

later trains from the west and from
the Mott and Kildeer branches found
themselves stranded in Mandan. Then
some OF the boys got busy and dug
up a skiff which was stored some
where in town and hauled it to the
river. NJ. S. Lang, in his desire to
accommodate his friends, agreed to
act as pilot. number of tboatloads
were carried across in safety Satur-
day afternoon, and many succeeded
in finding accommodations on the
switch engine, which ran across the
big bridge shortly before dark.
Jack LOTUS, Carl Paulson and Os-
car Hendrickson were among the last
to come over. Lotus stated there
were seven in his boat when it made
the trip, and the skiff dipped little
water, but there seemed TO be no dan
ger Of capsiZing. A travelling man
who was in the very last boat load
which came over stated today that
Nat Prentice and Harry Barwind
were left on the Mandan shore when
the boat pulled out. the prospective
passengers having drawn lots, and
Barwind and Prentice having proved
unsuccessful. 1t was then dark, and
some difficulty was encountered in
getting over Prentice and Barwind
shouted to their friends in the boat
that they would return to Mandan
and not attempt the trip that night.
Heavily Loaded.
The boat had carried larger num-
bers than it contained on it's last
and fateful trip Sunday forenoon, but
it had not before attempted to carry
such a great weight. Both Barwind
and Won Hagen were unusually large
men, and besides them there were
four others, all of good stature. AS
the boat pulled from the short, some
one remarked it would be a miracle
if it didn't swamp with that load
and a few seconds later the swirling
waters had claimed their prey.
TO the Bismarck Tribune's CORES
pendent at Mandan, City Commits
sioner u. S. Lang of Mandan, sole
survivor of the Easter tragedy on the
Missouri river which claimed five
lives. today told how the accident
happened. stating in part that the
men realized they could not make the
trip and were turning around when
the boat struck the fence.
1--WE were going to turn around be-
cause we saw that the wind was COM
ing up strong and that we could not
make it, said Mr.. Lang. las we
were turning around, the bow Of the
boat ran into wire fence and tipped
us all out.
"That was the last l saw Of the
men to recognize them"
