FORMER CITY
MAN KILLED
One Time Resident Of Grand
Forks Meets Death in
Auto Accident.

Word was received in this city last
night from Geo. B. Winship Of Ma
tional City, Cal, to the effect that
George c. Dickson. q former resident
OF this city, was killed in al auto acci-
dent at Mesa Grande, a mountain re-
sort about SO miles from San Diego.
Mrs. Dickson, who was With him at
the time, was severely injured. The
details of the accident are not known
here but it is supposed that Mr..
Dickson lost control Of his car and 1t
plunged off the grade.
Mr.. Dickson wa in the dairy bust
ness in Grand Forks and had of
tie best Jersey herds in the northwest.
When he moved to California a few
years ago he took the herd with him
and was as successful there as he had
been here. But when the disastrous
flood swept southern California a few
years ago, MI. Dickson was n OF
those who suffered. Most of his fertile
land was swept away. leaving scarcely
anything but bare rock.
When local business men of this city
heard Of Mr.. Dickson's losses they i'm
mediately wired offers Of assistance,
but these were refused and he de-
voted his time to making good his
losses, with results which were very
successful.
Word of the accident has brought
much sorrow to his many friends IN
Grand Forks, whose respect he had
won during his residence among
them.
