another OLD TIMER
IS CALLED BY Deaf H
Rory Forbes Passed Away During
Week at Home in Saskatoon
Nearing Eightieth Year

News Of the passing to the Great
Beyond on Wednesday Of last week
at his home in the vicinity of Saska-
toon, Sask., of Rory" Forbes, brings
vividly to the attention of the earlier
residents here, the rapidly thinning
out of the ranks of those who back in
the early eighties were the rugged
pioneers who blazed the trail and first
settled on the prairies here, when
Cavalier county was first homesteaded.
Mr. Forbes, when he left this county
for the Canadian Northwest some fit
teen years ago, was located on a farm
south of Langdon. in the Shelly set.
tlement near Iona. He had, previous
to this time, held down land east of
town, and still earlier had spent some
time in Southern Manitoba with his
family, after leaving the old home at
Guelph, Ont. Deceased was nearing
his eightieth year when the final
summons came, and several months
before the end suffered from anemia.
The surviving family include the
widow and five daughters and one son.
Mrs. AL. Heapy and Miss Lizzie
Forbes, two daughters who make
Langdon their home, went to Saska-
toon during the holidays to see their
father, the latter remaining when her
sister. Mrs. Heapy, returned to the
city the earlier part of January. Mr..
Forbes is also known to be survived
by brother who is the owner of a
townsite near Battleford.

east OF Calvin, on Friday, January
10th, at the age of seventy years and
seven months, her death being due to
apoplexia. In its mention of the

lows:
Elizabeth Lydia Reeder was born at
Pembroke, Wales, on August Goth,
1916, and spent her childhood in that
vicinity. In the year 1876 she was
united in marriage to Joesph Webster,
at Mexboro, Yorkshire, England.
Eight years after their marriage
they migrated to Brussels, Ont, and
resided there until 1896, when they
moved to Langdon. In 1908 they
moved to Calvin and have been re-
spected residents of this vicinity ever
since.
Mrs. Webster was loved and re.
spected by all who came to know her.

The occasion of Langdon's COM

among those identified with the city

rounding community has upon the

BANQUET OF COMMERCIAL
CLUB MAKES A BIG HIT
Over Hundred Participate in Get
Together ANIMAL Gathering s
Langdon Commercial CLUB

Langdon's commercial club made
quite hit Thursday evening on the
occasion of their second annual ban.
quet and get together gathering. A
congenial affair when upwards of a
hundred of our townsmen gathered at
tables laid in the spacious dining room
Of the U. C. T. hotel, and it is un.
necessary to take more space than
passing mention to state that the
feast of good things spread upon the
tastily decorated tables for the ban
queters more than sustained the re-
nown of Landlord and Mrs. I. B.
Hankey as caterers to the epicurean
tastes of Langdon people on state
occasions such as this was.
DR.. E. P. Robertson, who was the
guest of the club, representing the
commercial club of Grand Forks. at
this gathering, made the address Of
the evening. In his remarks he urg-
ed closer corporation on the part
of the commercial clubs over the
state. The clear and concise way in
which DR.. Robertson presented his
views and the earnestness shown in
what he had to say appealed to all
present. He gave special emphasis
to the great necessity of a closer CO.
operation between the business in
terests of the town and those of the
producers. who form the surrounding
farming community.
The clubs president, Dan w.
Baldwin, called on several present
and number of short talks were
given. Among the number c. E..
johnson briefly outlined the progress
that Langdon has made in the year
that is past. Mayor Power followed
with prophesy or forecast of what
Langdon might be expected to do or
needed in the way of public improve
ments for the coming year. Among
other ideas suggesting themselves to
the speaker being the citv's great
need of soon undertaking something
to meet the demand for a system of
waterworks and drainage. j. w.
Haw followed with remarks touching
upon the production of food stuffs
and how farming along diversified
lines was essential to the progress
of both the large and small com.
munity. Attorney Geo. M. Price
took little closer view than those
who preceded him in survey OF
Langdon and its accomplishments te
date and dwelt on the prosperity anc
contentment to be found in Langdor
as community. Rev. F. j. Hibbard,
when called on after felicitating the
business men of Langdon. upon the
splendid representation present at thu
banquet urged upon those present thu

ings as among those who stopped with
US, also Frank Moran and J. McPhail.
In 1888 we moved onto the noun
tain. Our farm was about two miles.
west Of Olga at what is now known
as the O'Brien coulee. Here we
moved into a comfortable frame
house. The Fischers, Witzels, Ham.
rels, Kartes', Hopes. Radfords, Wi}-
liamsons and Doyles are among those
who stopped with us here. We scarce
ly ever were a night without someone
coming to stay with US. Mr.. Schulke
stayed with US while on his way fron,
Minnesota. His means of transporta.
tlon was team of oxen. This team
was the recompense he had receivets
from his employer for several months
labor on farm. A man, whom later
learned was Jas. Jennings, we found
lying PROSTATE on pile of timbers a
few rods from the house. MIR. Jen-
nings was on his way to his farm in
Hope township and was taken sick az
the result of particularly hard trip
in which he was obliged to walk and
guide his team through wet roads.
Frequently we put up farmers haul.
ing grain from the neighborhood o+
Elkwood to Bathgate. Their grai;
was often frozen and they got frou,
forty-nine to tifty-nine cents for il.
BY the time they had paid the ex-
penses of the trip, which required
about five days, with oxen, these men
would not have more than two or
three weeks provisions to take home.
Some had with them lunches brough,
from home. BY the time they had
reached our place this would be fro2-

In the fall of 1855 a Miss McEwen
was found murdered in be. shack.
! Her neighbors came to our place early
one morning following the finding OF
the body. Indications were that she
had been dead for some days and sus.
picion fell on one Gunderson, short
time before liberated from an insane
asylum. This Gunderson was lynched
BY hanging by an unknown mob seve-
raj days later at Olga. Mr.. O'Brien
saw the body lying by the Hotel dc

Olga. In December, of the same year
Clarence Hawkes., sheriff of this
county at that time, shot one VIM.
Stevens, on whom he was serving pa

team. over which dispute arose The
shooting occurred near the old Mona
post office. Stevens was one of a
number hauling grain and he was re-.
moved by others of the party to the
Olga hotel. where he was attended by
DR.. j. J. Reilly, but died few hours
later, Hawkes. was disqualified as
sheriff and the following January was
