OPHEIM WOMAN AND SON ARE
SWEPT INTO FLOOD OF
WEST FORK

SCOBEY, May 31.-The waters

eastern corner of Valley county,
claimed two victims Saturday
night when Mrs. Moore of Opheim
and her 10-year old son were
swept from their feet as they at
tempted to wade the swollen
stream.
With her six young children,
Mrs. Moore had started from Op-
helm in a wagon with the inten-
ton of Joining her husband, who
was employed on the Bonnabel
ranch. At the crossing of the
West Fork she found the bridge
washed out, and after unhitching
the horses and tying them to the
wagon and leaving her five young
est children huddled in the wagon
with a blanket as their only pro-
lection from the rain, she and her
eldest son attempted to ford the
creek Oh lOOI. bOeh "OiO Nio"H
ed.
For approximately 48 hours the
five children remained in the wag-
on. with but little covering and no
food, until the attention of a
neighboring farmer was attracted
by the sight of the horses stand
ing at the wagon for so long a
time. and he went to investigate.
Here he found the children almost
dead from hunger and exposure.
The Youngest, a baby of a year
and a half. had on but one gar
ment. while only one of the others
of the bunch possessed shoes. The
only protection from the rain that
had fallen necessarily during the
two days and nights was a water
soaked blanket. The children, OF
whom the oldest was seven, were
of the opinion that their mother
had gotten across the stream.
After a search, the body OF the
mother was found but the body of
the boy could not be located. The
sheriff of Daniels county was no
tilted and he left Scobey to con-
duct the search for the body OF the
bov. The children were taken to
Richland, were they are being
cared for. Mrs. Moore was buried
in Scobey.
The Moore family came to Op-
helm last year, Moore having been
emploved on the extension of the
Great Northern line last summer.
The family was in destitute cir
cumstances.

OBSERVANCE OF
MEMORIAL DAY

There is one day in the year
which the American citizens have
set aside to honor the memory Of
those men who have made the
supreme sacrifice, so that we all
might enjoy the blessings of liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness,
and that is Memorial Day. All
citizens should appreciate
the sacrifice made for them, and in
showing that appreciation, we do
not think that it is consistent for
them to work on Memorial Day
and keep their places open for the
transacting of business. 1t does
not appeal to any one as the prop
er observance of Memorial Day. It
does not appeal to any ex-service
man to walk down the streets of
any town or city and see the pub
lie going about their every day
work as though Memorial Day was
not in existence. During last
Memorial Day several business
pIaces were open in Wolf Point.
We trust that all the people in our
community will take upon them
selves the duty that they owe to
the memory of the dead on Mem
orial Day, and that in the future,
no one will have occasion to see
anv of the business places open,
so that all may attend the Mem
orial services.
