CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH BUILDING
TO EXCEED $4,000

Preliminary steps were taken the
past week for the launching of Il
campaign for the building of a fine
new edifce for the First Congrega-
tional Church of Dickinson, to cost not
less than $4,000. The members of
the Congregational Ladies' Aid So
ciety have divided into three bands
and have already raised in the neigh
borhood of 81 900 towards the building
fund.
1t is not expected that actual build
ing operations will be commenced for
a year or two yet, at least not until
business conditions are more stable.
But the drive is on, and it will not
be long until Dickinson can boast OF
some Of the finest church ediices In
the entire state. A $25,OOO building
was erected by the Methodists only
the past summer. The Catholic con-
gregations own two magnificent
churches. The Episcopal, the Boheml-
an Catholic, Lutheran and Jewish
congregations also have splendid
houses of worship.
The old Congregational church
building has been found entirely in
adequate. A growing congregation
and Sunday school have taxed the
present accommodations beyond the
limit, and there is imperative need OF
more commodious quarters.

CAR DIVES TO
CREEK BOTTOM

While driving along the road by
Antelope creek, just six miles south
east of Lefor, at a sharp turn in the
road, John Lambiel lost control of his
car and ran through some brush, over
a bluff and into the creek, a distance
of forty feet below. No one was in
jured. In the car with Lambiel were
his mother, his mother-in-law and a
man whose name was not learned.
The car dove headforemost into the
creek where it stuck fast, the radia-
tor completely covered with water.
Two Of those in the car were over
seventy years old but were uninjured
by the force of the fall. The party
made their way to the old Heiscr
house, sometimes referred to as the
Mission House. Here they were al
lowed to dry their clothes and warm
up. All four were precipitated into
the creek when the car landed.
Fred Wieglanda, Of the Dickinson
Battery & Electric Co., went out after
the car Saturday and, by means of a
block and tackle and his car, pulled
the car back to the road. The front
end of the car was slightly smashed
and three tires were badly damaged.
How the four managed to escape in
jury is one of those unexplainable
mysteries.

Fire Tries iDice
Before 1t Burns
Farmers House

Presumably caused by a defective
fue or ill-fitting stove pipe, fire, after
two attempts, entirely destroyed the
house occupied by A. V. Carlson and
family in Dovre township in Hettin-
ger county Wednesday Of last week,
also damaging beyond repair much Of
the heavy furniture and nearly all
of the clothing in the house at the
time.
Mr.. Carlson noticed smoke issuing
from a room upstairs and found a
small blaze in the wall near the pipe.
After apparently killing the fire with
a few buckets of water, Mr.. Carlson
went to his barn. After he had been
there about tweuty minutes he looked
towards the house and noted that the
whole upper part was in flames.
The family removed several articles
of furniture and few household eff
fects but most of their goods were
lost. The damage to the houses con-
tents is estimated at $1,000. The
house, owned by Ira J. Wilson, was
insured to half the amount of damage
as were the contents.
The Carlsons are making their
home temporarily with the Grotemey-
ers. A quilting bee was held by the
neighbors at the B. H. Wilson home
last week in order to help out the
unfortunate family.

THE MAIN ARTERIES OF
AERIAL TRANSPORTATION
Committee Now Arranging For Land
ing Stages on Four Prin-
cipal Lines in U. S.

"Oh, I know what we can do this
evening" exclaims Mrs. Goodwife of
Dickinson to her spouse who has lust
returned from his labors at the office
down town. "Well?" he interro-
gatively raises his eyebrows as he
lowe lowers his evening paper. "Why,
the show" Mr.. Goodhusband shows
no surprise, but he has better idea.
"Why not let us take the limited to
Milwaukee and hear Grand OPERA
note that is scheduled for tonight ?"
"Good, We'll go there" And the thing
is settled.
After dinner, they dress and go to
the landing platform at Willard and
Eleventh Avenue West, arriving there
just in time to purchase tickets and
take their seats in the Airplane Spec
ial which had just issued from the
hangar. With preliminary warning
signal and whirring of propeller
blades, the big ship rises into the air
to a height Of several hundred feet
and heads due east southeast. Air
craft fit back and forth, some local,
others limited. Below lights CLEAN
like stars and a dull sound comes up
muffled by the roar Of the engine on
the ship. Milwaukee is reached after
a fast ride and the Dickinson couple
join the theatre-go throng. Their
musical taste sated and a light lun-
cheon at cafe, they board the Cha
mute and Bell Flyer and are soon back
home.
Quite an improbable, story, you say,
but in view of the ever-developing
strides in aerial transportation, quite
a probability, we assure you. Four
transcontine airways have been
approved as the main arteries of air
navigation in the United States, and
the Aero Club of America has ap-
pointed committee on landing places,
of which Rear Admiral Robert E.
Peary is chairman, to make all pos
sible speed in charting the routes and
selecting landing places. The pro-
posed airways, as far as the itinerary
has been outlined, are reproduced on
the map on this page They are to
be called the Woodyaw Wilson, the
Wright Brothers, thAs gleW and the
Chanute and Bell Anyways. The first
is to be charted from New York 20
San Francisco and touch Cleveland,
Toledo and Chicago. The second
would start from Washington and go
through Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Texas, where an aeroplane was
used for the first time under condi-
tions approximately warfare, New
Mexico and Arizona to San Diego,
Cal. The Langley airway would run
between Washington and Los Angeles.
This r011te is tho least dofnifo The
Chanute and Bell would run from
Boston to Seattle, touching Rochester,
Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo, Erie, De-
troit, Grand Rapids Minneapolis,
Dickinson, Great Falls and other
cities.
Not anything has given such i'm
petus to aerial craft development than
has the present war. The full poss,-
bilities Of airships has been evidenced
plainly by the emergency that called
it forth for participation in 1.-THE
world war. Darius Green is dead and

JUDGE FORCES
BOY TO MARRY
SOUTH SIDE GIRL

Rafael Kessler, % years old, en-
ployed by Frank Meyers and living on
the South Side, was brought before
Judge Folsom Wednesday afternoon
on a statutory charge, preferred py
Annie Klein, 18 years old, who lives
just opposite the Kessler home. Upon
Kessler's assurance that he would
marry the Klein girl, Judge Folsom
continued the case till Thursday, in
structing the couple to get married.
Judge Folsom, at the suggestion Of
States Attorney Burgeson, dismissed
the complaint against the defendant
upon the latters payment of costs,
amounting to about $40 and his prom
Use to marry.
The couple have been intimate for
three years, according to the girl, but
only recently have matters assumed
a serious form. The girls parents,
believing that Kessler was about to
leave town when he learned that the
girl demanded a marriage ceremony,
asked for the issuance of a warrant
and the young man was taken into
custody Tuesday.
The young woman seemed content
with the outcome of the trial and left
the court room arm in arm with Kes-
sler.

NEW GROCERY FIRM

The new grocery and dairy, known
as the Dairy Produce Co., operated
by Lloyd RAIDER and E. B. Muth, is
now doing business in the Parker
building on First Avenue West, near
the German Bohemian bank where
the Star restaurant formerly oper-
ated. A complete new stock of mer-
chandise has been placed on the natty
shelving and a general air Of clean
liness is apparent. One Of the prin-
cipal features of the new store is the
modern equipment in the dairy room.
Sanitary washing machines assure a
healthful tone to the milk containers
and other innovations in this depart
ment put the store in the top list.
The firm will install a pastureizing
plant as soon as things get to going
well. ,.-
Mr.. RAIDER has been conducting a
dairy in this city for the past five
years and Mr.. Muth has been con-
nected with the Best Mercantile
Store for more than ten years. This
business experience, together with
the popularity of the two, give prom
ise Of heavy patronage from incep-
tion.

Farmer Detective
Catches VandaL in
Fence Razing Act

H. Froelich, well known farmer re-
the city, has been driven almost to
desperation the past few weeks by
vandals who keep breaking down his
fine all steel fence. Almost every
morning the past couple of weeks he
had discovered that during the night
or early morning some one had de-
liberately bent over from six to fif-
teen of the posts, thus rendering them
useless and beyond repair.
Last week he determined to catch
the culprit in the act, so he armed
himself with small rifle and went
on guard duty each morning long be-
fore daylight. Several nights went
by with no developments. On Friday
morning, just at daybreak, however,
something happened. Mr.. Froelich
was hidden behind a stack of Russian
thistles when he heard a wagon and
team approaching. When just op-
posite, Mr.. Froelich heard one of the
three men in the wagon say to ono
of the others, as he jumped to the
ground, "Break it again." The man
was in the act of breaking down some
of the posts when Mr.. Froelich ap-
peared upon the scene and ordered
hands up. He recognized the young
man at the fence as Peter Privratsky,
16 years of age, and the other two as
Laute Ridl and Steve Privratsky, 16
and 18 years of age, respectively.
The boys maintained that this was the
first offense, and promised that it
would not happen again.
Mr. h'rnn1i0h 70 RI nInkIn and
lodged complaint with Juvenile Com
missioner Sterland. The case was
dropped, however, when the father of
the accused boy paid $40 as damages
to the fence, and $13 costs.

SUNDAY BLAZE
AT BEST STORE
DOES NO DAMAGE

A small blaze in the Best Mercan-
tile Co.'s store early Sunday night
brought large crowd to the scene:
A barrel of refuse which was near a
rear door showed symptoms Of fire
and the smoke was observed by Night
Policeman McDonough. He entered
the place and tore out a glass in the
window, through which water was
passed and put on the. flames. No
damage was done except for the
breaking Of the large plate glass in
the front door of the store. The fire
department made quick response. to
the alarm. After making certain that
the fire was extinguished they beat
a retreat: .,.r.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
No one had been in the, store since
the Saturday night previous. No
wires were in the immediate vicinity
of the barrel. The latter stood right
by the window which had a tin pane
but the tin was unbroken previous to
discovery.

KILLDEER MAN SAYS
NO FRAUD INTENDED

L. P. Cysewski, arrested by the
sheriff of Dunn county at Mandan on
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses at Killdeer, says that
the trouble arose because some one
held check that he had given a long
time after it was written, and that
just before leaving Killdeer he went
to the bank and asked what his bal
ance was and drew out his money.
After he left, the party who had held
on to his check went to cash it, and
were were not o irving Vii toe; to eyade a payment aan @ Of
any bills. Their household furniture
is still in Killdeer, and they were only
going down to Jamestown, AS far as
stealing a Ford is concerned, Cysewsh
claims he had a half interest in the
Ford, and that the owner Of the other
half had given his consent.

LIEUTENANT KOCH, HEREAFTER

Word reaches us this week that Val
Koch, who has been in the officers
training camp at Fort Smelling, has
been recommended for a commission
as first lieutenant. But three men in
his company received a higher aver
age than did Val. The successful Of
fcers are in three classes. Class A
consists Of men who will report for
duty at once; Class B, composed Of
Captains and first lieutenants, will be
called for service in two or three
weeks; Class C are second ieuten-
ants. Mr.. Koch requested being
placed in the second class SO that he
would have time to straighten out
some business affairs at home. Val
has an excellent chance to go higher
as men in Class B stand fair show
for advancement. As the men will
finish at the camp by November 2y
we may expect to see Val here for
Thanksgiving. His stay will be short,
however, as he is to report for duty
by December 15. Fss
