ren at Wliston, N. D.

F. G. Beckman, a freight brakeman
on the Great Northern met death in
a horrible manner last Wednesday
morning at about II o'clock.
No one viii know exactly the man
ner in which the unfortunate man
met his death, as no one saw the ac-
cident, but it would seem from all
accounts that while the freight was
switching on a sidetrack that Beck
man who was coupling up and m-
coupling cars, had in his work stepped
up to the side of the car to do his
work and slipped on some ice throw
ing him under the wheels and decapi-
tating his head from his body.
Mr.. Beclman was a young man of
35 years of age and is a married
man, leaving a wife and four child
rem to mourn his untimely end.
The deceased is well known along
the branch line having made the run
to Scobey for the past six years.

The dumping grounds were given
considerable attention at this meeting.
It has come to the attention of the
City Dads that certain haulers of
rubbish, wishing to save time and
trouble in going to the end Of the
dump grounds nave been depositing
their loads near the entrance to the
dump grounds, thus stopping pass
age to those who have the foresight
to go to the other end, knowing that
such a system could not last for any
length of time. Licensing haulers of
rubbish was talked of but this was
proved to be ilnpracticable and it was
finally decided to warn the drivers
and as a last resource to arrest the
parties who persist in dumping at the
entrance to the grounds.
City bills were taken up and all
approved with no comment except the
Joe DOlin, which brought forth q

to explain his bill and when they ask.

MELVIN OSTBY TO BE
SHERIDAN co. AGENT

Bozeman, March THE old say
ing that absence makes the heart
grow fonder" has been tried out and
proved true in three counties in Mon
tana this year. Three counties in this
state which have been without county
agricultural agents for them two
months to, three years are now back
with requests that the State College
Extension service aid them in getting
their county extension agent on the
job again.
Sheridan county hired a county
agent in 1915. In 1920 there was a
division of opinion about the county
agent in that county and the Office
was discontinued. (The division Of
opinion only laid in the spite work
of Commissioners Matkins & Tim
mons. who were holding Office at that
time). Now the county commission
ers have written to j. c. Taylor
county agent leader, saying they will
vote funds for another agent. Melvin
P. Ostby, for the post four years
prominent county agent in Minneso-
ia, has been hired to take the work
in Sheridan county. He win start II
his new place this month.
FUNDS LACKING
'It is not certain that funds car
be found to take care Of these re
quests for new agents" says Mr
TAYLOR. "The counties may vote thei
shares Of the necessary funds, bu
we cannot meet their budget by stat
money unless we actually have tina
money. Just now the condition o

doubt, but we must wait a short tim
before we win be able to say whethe

co. COMMISSIONERS
HAVE HOT SESSION

The County Commissioners met last
Tuesday and from reports they had
a merry session.
It seems that in upholding the
rights of the taxpayers to at least
have a small voice in the affairs Of
the county, Commissioner Lundeen
has had several tits with Commis-
sioners Tyler and Ibsen.
Albert Foley of Raymond-DOOley
fame is also said to have furnished
the board a few hours serious con-
sideration.
Miss Emma Crone, county super
intendent of schools, also called on
the county commissioners on matters
of business connected with the school
children of the county.
Mr. Ibsen, the reports give out,
after consideration of the matter has
decided that he is not big enough for
his lob and Commissioner Tyler was
telling how he had paid for his cleo
ton by contributions to the League
Upon this enlightening information
Mr.. Tyler was offered his money
back if he would resign, but to this
statement, Mr.. Tyler closed up like
