Former Grant Center Man in Mon
tana Struck by Northern Pa.
cifiC Train.

The Three Forks (Mont.) Her.
aid gives an account of the fatal
accident that happened to for
mer Grant county man, G. H.
Rider, who was instantly killed
by a Northern Pacific train at a
crossing a short distance from
Three Forks. We take the fol-
lowing from the account:
He was crossing the track not
far from the John Murray home
where the accident happened
about o. clock. One of the
horses was killed and Mr.. Rider
thrown about q hundred feet
from the crossing. The wagon
was cut in two, part of the ve-
hicle being thrown on each side
of the track.
Mr.. Rider came here with his
family about nine years ago and
bought small ranch just on the
outskirts of Willow Greek, later
taking up a homestead OH the
south bench of That place.
He was born in Maine in 1850
and was 68 years old at the time
of his death.
Besides a loving wife he leaves
five children Howard, Mrs. Susie
Hoyt, Hazel Wright, Mrs. r. E.
Davis, and Helen.
A daughter Emma, and the
youngest son, Edward, died two
years ago and are buried in the
Willow Greek cemetery.
The family have been extreme
ly unfortunate within the past
few years. First their daughter
Emma, was taken Ill and after a
lingering illness died at the hos
pital in Bozeman. A short time
af, wards their youngest son,
Edward, died from an acute at
tack Of appendicitis, and now the
father has met with a sudden

young yachtsman, Gerald Waldron,
to Hatley Boyce as they sail past a
rock bound island. where Sybil. an
exquisitely beautiful maiden, and
her girl companions. all donned in

the improvement Of the road to the
grounds, and also the building of
a sidewalk from the present one on
the north side of Prairie street.
These improvements will mean a
large expense, and it will be neces-
sary for everylot owner to continue
his contribution, that the cemetery
may be kept in the excellent con-
dition that has been a marked fea-
ture of it for several years past.
The money may be paid or sent to
anyone of the executive committee
consisting of G.. L. Wood, E. Z.
Emanuel, Phil c.. Saunders, N. J.
Bleser, w. w. Downie, or the act
ing secretary-treasurer Of the
association, L. N. Saunders. Lot
owners are requested to attend
to this matter as soon as possible
that the proper care Of the grounds
may not be impeded for lack of
funds. Please forward the $500
asked for promptly. If every lot own
er pays this small assessment the

dition.

About Old Time Friends
HIS. VOlkmar Sends the Herald Ad.
vance Readers an Item OF Inter.
est 70 the Older Settlers.

The early day settlers in Grant
county will remember one OF
their number-Asa A.Story, who
took up a claim near Big Stone
CITY in 1879. Two years later he
moved upon a claim adjoining Mil
bank on the northwest, and about
1885 moved into the village OF
Twin Brooks. He was appoint
ed postmaster under Cleveland's
first administrator and was we'll
known throughout the countyand
when the Popullst movement
sprang up he became one of the
leaders in the county. About
fifteen years ago he moved with
his family to Tofield, Alberta.
Canada, where he still resides.
Upon retiring from farming and
moving into the town of Iofleld
he became active in LEGAL affairs
as a member of the city council,
and for a nun Der Of years he has
held the Office Of Police Justice OF
the Peace his Jurisdiction ex-
tending throughout the province.
Mr.. Story was in Seattle few
days ago and upon his calling me
up over the phone | called at his
hotel to see him. In December
last ne took his wife, who had
been in poor health for number
of years, to California, hoping
that the change of climate might
do her good, but on February
Goth she passed away at Vallejo,
near the Mare Island navy yard
at San Francisco. and where
their son Wells lives While in
Vallejo the members of the local
G. A. r. and w. r. G. did every.
thing possible to make them com
Portable, and upon the death of
Mrs. Story they took charge of
the funeral. The G. A. r. pre-
sented Mr.. Story with two bur
ial spots in their part of the VAL
lejo cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs Story grew up
together as children at Ham,
mond, st. Lawrence county, New
York and were married there
on Christmas Day, 1865. Mr..
Story was born January q, 1S47,
and his wife was about year
his janior. In go they came
West, locating at Morristown,
Rice county, Minnesota, and in
1879 moved to Grant county, Oak
ota Territory. While Mr.. Story
is now in his seventy second year
he is still hale, hearty and ap
parently as active as he was for
ty years ago. During the Civil
War at the age of fifteen years
he enlisted in the Fifth New
York Artillery and was taken
prisoner and confined in Ander.
sonville prison. In the course
of our visit, which both enjoyed,
the events Of the pioneer days
in Grant county were reviewed,
including the memorable county
seat war between Big Stone City
and Milbank and in bringing up
recoIlections of the carly day
settlers - many Of them have
passed on or who have scattered
to distant parts Of the country.
A few days after Mr.. Story
departed for his home in Alberta
] was again called up over the
phone-this time by our old
friend Roadmaster E. W. Phelan
with whom I enjoyed short but
pleasing visit. He was on his way
home to Milbank from an extend.
ed trip to Texas and Southern
California. He expected to arrive
home about the first of April.

Karl Mathie.
Presents the American Cause from
the Standpoint Of an American Of
German Blood.

/
up in North Dakota talking to the
German people Of that state on the
questions of the war, was visitor
in Milbank Tuesday, having come
on visit to the N. j. Bleser fami-
ly. the wife Of the gentleman be-
ing a cousin of Mrs. Bleser. While
here Mr.. Mathie was secured to
make a talk at the opera house
Tuesday evening, and gave very
clear and definite reasons why
people Of German Blood should
stand true to America and Ameri-
can principles in this war on au-
tocracy and Kaiserism Mr.. Ma
THE, himself a man Of German
blood, whose father, like thousands
of other German people, left the
land of his nativity because of the
horrible system Of caste and mill
tary oppression that made life un-
bearable to anyone with ambition
to improve his condition. From
this standpoint Mr.. Mathie called
upon all Of German blood to give
heart and soul to the ideals Of Am
erican patriotism, and appealed to
them to be true to these rather
than to any false claim of racial
connection. Mr.. Mathie called up
on those loyal Americans Of Ger
man blood to help those who were
not able to understand the situa-
tion to go over it carefully with
them and help them to sound
loyalty that will save them from
the condemnation that is sure to
come upon them and the acts of
those Jealous citizens who may
meet out extra-legal punishment
upon them. AS there is no one to-
day proud of having been a copper
head in the civil war, scatter this
war there will be no one who will
not be ashamed to have it known
that he was not heart and soul for
the American cause, or that he did
not do everything in his power to
win the war. The men of German
blood should do everything in their
power to remove from themselves
any stigma of disloyalty by sup
porting the liberty loans, the Red
Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and the
other snr aess-ads .to-the;r fullest'
ability. The boys of German
blood are in the army-they are
anxious to do their part for Amer
| ica, even to the giving of their
lives, and the man of German blood
at home must meet his responsible
tiles as an American citizen-he
owes nothing to the kaiser and the
junkers Of Germany. He owes
everything he has to the opportun-
tiles America has given him.
Mr.. Mathie held his audience
for nearly two hours, and it was
calm, dispassionate presentation of
the facts that are before our citi-
zens of German blood. and it is a
pity that everyone Of these in
Grant county could not have listen
ed to this appeal to them.
Karl Mathie is himself living
example Of Americas. S. opportunit-
les to the man of worthy motives
and high ideals. He is a man of
considerable means, and in this
work that he is doing he is Civ
ing his time and energy, and pay
ing all his expenses out Of his own
pocket-the government not pay
ing him a dollar. He has for his
text Are we not all brothers, ;.
and not only with his lips but by
his life he is exemplifying the
text. He was at one time for some
eight years the state superintend-
ent of public instruction in Wis
consin.
