Davidson - Hegseth
- - - - -
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Davidson on the ranch ten miles northeast of
here was the scene of a very pretty wedding at high noon on Tuesday, January 3rd in
which their daughter Miss Hildur was presented in marriage to Mr. Ole Hegseth, a
prosperous farmer residing four miles north of Sentinel Butte. Rev. C. S. Thorpe of
Glendive performed the ceremony.
Only the relatives and immediate friends of the contracting parties were present,
but these agree that the occasion was a most delightful one. The home was tastefully
decorated for the occasion, handsome gifts bespoke the popularity of the young
couple; and a sumptuous wedding dinner served by Mrs. Davison contributed to make
the day long remembered.
Mr. Hegseth has just built a comfortable new home on his farm, where he and
Mrs. Hegseth will shortly be at home to their friends. They left after the ceremony,
for a short wedding trip to eastern points, upon which the best wishes of their many
friends will accompany them.

Lawrence Williams of Jamestown, who died within the past week, is said to have
worked in this vicinity during a part of the past year - part of the time on a switch
engine and part of the time running a plowing engine for E. Brown. The young man
was a veteran of Co. H of the North Dakota regiment in the Philippines. He had been
married just three days at the time of his death. He was a personal friend of George
Purchase of this place, who speaks of him as a most exemplary young man.

Because of limited time before going to press, The Advance was regretfully
obliged to omit a nicely written contributed article on the Davidson-Hegseth wedding
on January 3rd. An account published last week gave this wedding as having occurred
on New Year’s Day - apparently an error. Friends having news articles of this or
other kinds will confer a favor if they can submit them for current week’s
publication, with such details as may be required.

Hogan - Bloom Marriage
- - - - - -
Jack Bloom, a familiar figure about town for some time past, left town a few days
ago, for Underwood, where a report has it that he was to be married on Tuesday of
the present week to a Miss Agnes Hogan. Mr. Bloom has some farming interests near
Carlyle, where the couple will doubtless return in the spring to look after their
property. Mr. Bloom has been engaged with the Hub restaurant during the winter
months, where he established a rather genial reputation for himself as the original
conversational food juggler. He has a wide circle of friends who will congratulate
him upon his good fortune in a matrimonial way, if reports prove well founded as to
the plans believed to have been consummated Tuesday.
Later information advises us that the marriage occurred at Bismarck at noon
Tuesday. Mrs. Madison of this city, an aunt of the bride, was present to witness the
ceremony.

Mute Dragged From Train, Died At Sentinel Butte
- - - - -
A Sentinel Butte dispatch of last week tells of a sad death which occurred there
when William Trotter, a deaf and dumb man from Minnesota, died at the Butte hotel.
The circumstances surrounding his death were rather peculiar, to say the least. The
first that was seen of him was on Friday night when he was put off No. 6 in a semi-
conscious condition and was at first supposed, by the depot force, to be under the
influence of liquor. He was totally unable to control his limbs or even move them
and was dragged into the depot, where, as stated above, he was supposed to be “dead
drunk.” Further investigation proved, however, that the man had not been drinking at
all and Doctor Curtis was then called and the unfortunate man moved to a room in
the Butte hotel where, in spite of all that could be done for him, he died early next
morning. Doctor Curtis, Druggist Hemstad and Arthur Englund of the depot force,
stayed up with him all night and did what they could to save his life but to no avail.
It was a case of heart failure, according to the doctor, who had examined the man
twice previously, and very little could be done for him when he had reached the stage
that he was in when the doctor was called.
The man was put on the train at Wibaux and an effort is being made to ascertain
what happened to him there, who put him on the train etc., but at this writing nothing
further has developed.
Deceased had relatives in Watertown, Minn., and an effort was made to
communicate with them but as nothing was heard the remains were laid to rest in the
cemetery here.

community in which they are located.

Popular Girl Dead
- - - - -
Serious Nature of Her Illness Was Not Generally Known - Funeral Wednesday
- - - - -
Miss Isabelle Josephine Thompson is dead - her death having occurred at an early
hour Saturday morning, February 11th, following a short illness from what appeared
to be nervous exhaustion. A physician had been in attendance upon the case for only
about ten days. Consultations were held as the gravity of her condition became
apparent, but a steady, painless decline marked her closing days, baffling all the
medical skill that could be brought to bear upon it.
Miss Thompson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reier Thompson of this city.
Of an affectionate and cheerful disposition, she was a popular favorite among her
large circle of acquaintances. She was an active member and worked in the Lutheran
church of this city, from whose house of worship the funeral services were conducted
on Wednesday afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of people. Rev. C. S.
Thorpe came down from Glendive to officiate at the services. Interment was made in
the Lutheran cemetery.
Miss Thompson was born in Jackson County, Wis., twenty-seven years ago the
16th of last September. She was one of eight children, being survived by both parents
and the following brothers and sisters: Messrs. H. R., A. R., and R. B. Thompson of
Taylor, Wis., C. L. Thompson of Grafton, N.D., and Mesdames A. Anderson and J. O.
Knutson, both of Blair, Wisconsin. All were present at the funeral and will remain
over for a few days to comfort the bereaved parents.
Miss Thompson’s death will be recognized as a social loss to the entire
community. The esteem in which she was held was attested by floral offerings in the
greatest profusion.

Well Known Farmer Has Passed Beyond
- - - - -
On Saturday evening, the 11th inst., occurred the death of Mr. John Malling, a
well-known farmer residing near Rocky Butte. His death was due to acute oedema of
the lungs, super induced by Brights disease.
Mr. Malling had been a resident of this section for about two or three years. He is
survived by his wife and mother, there being no children living, as nearly as can be
learned by The Advance. The remains were prepared for burial by Undertaker
Meeker of Overstad & Hoverson’s and were shipped to the Twin Cities for interment.

In the course of a conversation regarding his recent trip to Claremore, Oklahoma,
on account of his brother’s recent death, J. D. Halstead informed an Advance
representative the other day regarding the cause of death, which was neuralgia of the
heart. No previous information had been transmitted here regarding the ailment from
which Mr. Halstead died. The deceased, Mr. Robert N. Halstead, had been a pioneer
resident here, and the community was greatly shocked when the news was sent here
that he had passed away on January 24th. Had he survived a few days longer he
would have been sixty years of age. Fred Halstead of this place and Mrs. L. M.
Robertson of Claremore are the only surviving heirs.

First To Wed In New Church

Pastor Bennett of the M. E. church christened the new edifice with its first wedding
last evening, notwithstanding the structure is not formally completed and open for
engagements of the more pretentious sort. The applicants for matrimonial honors
were Herman Minchow, a farmer residing several miles south of here on the Montana
side of the line, and Miss Anna Doring, who has been his housekeeper for some time.
Mr. Minchow was recently burned out of his home on the farm, but is willing to
take a chance on better luck next time, and is making preparations for basis, in which
the friends of the housekeeping on a permanent contracting parties will wish them all
possible happiness and success. (Note - this last paragraph is transcribed exactly as

Young Claim Holder Died After Attending Dance
- - - - -
After dancing nearly all night, and returning afoot three or four miles Tuesday
morning - part of the time running to keep up with his companions - Ray Williams, a
young claim-holder north of town died suddenly at the shack of the Meyers boys, his
neighbors, with whom he had come back from the entertainment. Consternation
reigned in the household when it became known that Williams was dead. He had
accompanied the boys on their way home, intending to walk the remainder of the
distance to his claim on the “strip,” but complained of some fatigue, and asked to
lie down till breakfast was ready. When called he made no response, and life was
found to be extinct.
Dr. Museus was called and pronounced the man’s death to be due to heart failure.
Acting Coronor Bond was sent for, however and went out Wednesday, accompanied
by Dr. Smith, and on holding a formal inquest, the finding was practically
substantiated.
His parents are said to reside at Akeley, Minn., and were notified by wire. His
mother and a sister have since arrived to look after the remains. The deceased was a
single man about 35 years old, and had no local relatives except a sister, Mrs. Smyth,
who resides in the same neighborhood.

the young man’s delectation - and to get him started with the right ideas of where to
buy confections. Will says he thinks it’s all right, as the boy will very soon be large
enough to enjoy them, but it is suspected that this is one case where the young man
gets buncoed out of the sweetmeats.

Mrs. Edgar Drum, Daughter of Local Family, Died As Result of Burns
- - - - -
Messages received by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Philpott of this city yesterday morning
and afternoon brought, successively, the news of the very serious burning of their
daughter Mrs. Grace Drum, at Creston, Iowa, and of her death from the burns.
The sad significance of this news becomes the more real when it is understood
that Mrs. Drum is the mother of a baby daughter born as late as the closing days of
February, and that her husband, Mr. Edgar Drum, had but just left her bedside at his
parents’ home at Creston and proceeded to his claim thirty miles north of here to
build a home for the wife and child who were soon to follow him. At the time of the
receipt of the messages here, he was too far away to be reached by immediate
information of the disaster which had wrecked his plans.
The details of the tragedy were not fully set forth in the messages received by Mr.
and Mrs. Philpott, and in their grief at the loss which has overtaken them it has been
impossible to learn much of the facts surrounding the awful accident. The
supposition is that the burns were sustained from an explosion or an other unforeseen
accident with a gasoline lamp which it is believed was being used in her bedroom.
Mrs. Drum’s parents are residents in Woodhull’s Addition to Beach, and the
young people are understood also to have lived here prior to their departure for Iowa
some time ago to spend the winter. The young mother was but twenty-two years of
age - just embarking upon the experiences of life and full of hope for the future.
Mrs. Philpott left last evening for Creston to bring back the motherless baby to its
distressed father, who will have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.

Butte Miner Deliberately Drops Twenty-one Hundred Feet
Thomas Hendrickson, twenty-six years of age, a miner, chose a method for
committing suicide that is unparallel in the history of the Butte camp, for he
apparently deliberately leaped 2,100 feet into the bowels of the earth to his death, a
distance equal to leaping off the top of a building 105 stories in height.
Hendrickson’s body was picked up in pieces, pulpy and unrecognizable. He first
removed his coat and hat, hanging them on a nail. He then crawled under the guard
rail and jumped into the parrot shaft. Friends can attribute no motive for the deed.

After being missed for about three weeks the body of Frank Rouchett was found

Aged Lady Dies At Home South Of Sentinel Butte

Mrs. Sarah Weed, a resident of the Oldis neighborhood south of Sentinel Butte
passed away at her home on Monday, after an attack of pneumonia, from which she
had been ill only about a week.
Mrs. Weed is the mother by adoption, of Mr. Chas. Weed, a farmer of that

which she filed last summer. She is also understood to have been the aunt of Mr.

The remains of the deceased lady were brought to Beach on Wednesday, and

which the body was shipped to Lewisville, Indiana, for interment.
Mrs. Weed, formerly Sarah Farout, was born near Laurel, Indiana, on December

days. She was married on November 9, 1882, to Mr. T. J. Weed, who departed life

her, she leaves one other brother and a sister, together with numerous nephews and

patient in suffering, and helpful in times of need. The beauty of her character was
well shown in her resignation to the end as she saw it approaching.

Yard Supt. Found Dead
- - - - -
James L. Osborne Of Glendive Was Killed
- - - - -
Was Father of Mrs. O. R. Niece of Beach - Wife Here At Time of Death
- - - - -
Local Yard Superintendent James L. Osborne of the N. P. at Glendive was found
dead with a fractured skull near the Northern Pacific railway tracks in the city last
Friday night. Mr. Osborne was the father of Mrs. O. R. Niece of this city, and Mrs.
Osborne was here as a guest of her daughter at the time of his death.
Little is known as to the nature of the accident which must have befallen the
deceased. The presence of all his portable possessions, including about $80 in cash,
renders the idea of foul play wholly unlikely. He was near the railway tracks when
found, but no marks were found except a fracture of the skull.
The deceased was prominent and well like in his community; and the funeral
services, held Wednesday under the auspices of the Masonic order, is said to have
been one of the most largely attended funerals ever held at that place.
Mrs. Niece is now with her mother in Glendive and will remain with her until
about the first of the week. The family comprises two unmarried children besides the
surviving mother and Mrs. Niece.

Child Meets Awful Death In Flames
- - - - -
Fire Originating From Gasoline Stove Burns Cottage and Results in Cremation of
Hugh Elder, Aged 11 years
- - - - -
Frightful death in the quick flames caused by a defective or badly handled
gasoline stove was the fate that met little Hugh Elder, eleven-year-old son of Mrs. J.
A. Elder, at their cottage near North Hunter Street about three o’clock on Tuesday
morning. The boy’s death is one of the most tragic things that has ever occurred in
this city.
The young lad and his mother have been residents of Beach for only five or six
weeks. Mrs. Elder having come here from Black River Falls to assist in operating
the new Golden Valley Hotel belonging to H. C. Callender. Their only near
acquaintances here were Wm. and Ed. Ball, one of whom is understood to be a
relative of Mrs. Elder’s by marriage. Ed. Ball was a roomer in her house, and having
been up for some purpose, lighted the gasoline stove after returning in order to warm
some water. In some way the stove began to blaze up, setting fire to surrounding
combustibles, and ultimately exploed, filling the entire house with flame. It is said
that the child, on awaking, crawled under the bed, already surrounded with flames,
and the most horrible incineration was the result.
There is a lamentable want of definiteness to the testimony adduced regarding the
facts leading up to the fatality. State’s Attorney Gallagher was absent from town at
the time, and an inquest is said to have been held by Justice Edward Egan, with
Attorney Jefferson acting for the state, and comprised two sessions, at the last of
which the party directly instrumental in the accident did not appear. It is understood
that there were no incriminating finds made by the coroner’s jury, the evidence being
insufficient to warrant them.
It is admitted by Ball that he had had three or four drinks during the previous
evening, and his acquaintances say he had been on a drunk during a good deal of the
time since the previous Friday. There is a general feeling that to these facts could be
traced the responsibility of the tragedy. Who sold him the liquor is not known, but as
he is not a type of man to whom liquor would be sold by an ordinarily “respectable”
blind pigger, it would appear that there is room for an investigation, which should
have prompt attention at the state’s attorney’s earliest opportunity.
The cottage occupied by Mrs. Elder was the property of Henry Walters, and was
insured through E. E. Noble’s agency. It was entirely destroyed within a few minutes
after the beginning of the conflagration.
Through the thoughtfulness of C. H. Clark and other sympathizing townsmen, a
purse of about $170 was raised for the bereaved mother, who lost everything in the
fire. The purse was subscribed to unanimously by those to whom the matter was
presented, and Mrs. Elder expressed sincere thanks and appreciation of the prompt
manner of bestowing relief upon the unfortunate out here in the western country in
which she was almost a total stranger.

Has Recently Returned From Western Canada - Exposure Hastened Death
- - - - -
At about 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 22nd, occurred the death of Thomas W. King,
a horseman, who in times past was well known here as a companion and employee of
J. W. Snow. Mr. King had but recently disposed of a claim which he was holding
several miles north of here, and he then accompanied C. W. Elliott on a trip through
western Canada. During this trip it is alleged that he suffered somewhat from
exposure to rain on one or more occasions, which hastened the inroads of
consumption, toward which he had some tendencies before. He was at the farm of
Mrs. Snow at the time of his death, and his wife, who was his sole immediate
survivor, was with him.
Mr. King was fifty-two years of age. He was born at Homes, Minnesota, but lived
at LaCrosse, Galesville and Merrillan, Wisconsin, before coming here. Mr. and Mrs.
King were long-time friends of Mr. and Mrs. Snow, and it was at the home of the
latter couple, in Merillan, that their wedding took place many years ago. It is
probable that Mrs. King will remain for some time with Mrs. Snow, who now makes
her home at the State Line Hotel in this city.

Special correspondent.
A most sad and tragic death occurred in this locality Saturday afternoon, Aug. 5,
about 2:30, when Charles Gilbert, the nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos G.
Oby, was dragged to death by a yearling colt. He accompanied Harry, his fourteen-
year-old brother, out upon the prairie, a short distance from the home, to catch the
colt and lead it to the barn. It being very tame and gentle, the object of their mission
was soon accomplished without trouble, when Harry’s attention was attracted by the
presence of some birds in a nearby coulee. A long rope had been fastened about the
colt’s neck, and the little lad was left in charge of the animal while his brother went
in search of the game. In innocent, child-like fashion, with no thought of danger, he
sat upon the ground, and it is presumed, began playing with the loose end of the rope
by winding it about his ankles and then removing it only to repeat the performance.
Thus he whiled away the few moments of his brother’s absence. Then, as the
brother, returning appeared above the rim of the coulee, a few rods away, and the
little fellow had the fatal coil about his legs, the older boy was horrified to see the
colt start, first walking, then trotting, dragging his victim thirty or forty feet behind.
Seeing the trailing rope and its human freight, the animal became frightened and
started at full gallop for the barn. The little lad fought manfully to release the coils
from about his ankles as he was dragged rapidly over the ground, behind the fleeing
colt. He maintained a sitting posture for a considerable distance, then realizing his
helplessness, he twisted his little body about, called to his brother “Oh Harry, help
me!” and sank back full length upon the ground.
A short way from the house the animal plunged through a buffalo wallow, the
victim striking the abrupt bank with such force as to cause the strands of the rope to
part, and then, a few moments later the little bruised and bleeding body was found by
the mother and brother. There were a few faint flutterings of the heart and the little
life had gone. The body was carried to the home and the neighbors notified, and a
messenger was dispatched to Mr. Oby, who was on the return trip from Beach.
The tragic passing of their loved one is the first great sorrow of the hitherto
happy family, and is a crushing blow to the parents and surviving brother and sister.
He was a child of exceptionally bright and sunny disposition, a general favorite
among his comrades, and the pride and joy of the home. He was the youngest of
three children.
Charles Gilvert Oby was born Aug. 25, 1901 at Randall, Minn. In the year 1910
he came with his parents, Amos G. and Alta E. Oby, to the Stuart neighborhood,
where the family settled upon a homestead. Though so young he had confessed his
faith and hope in a Savior’s love, and was a faithful attendant at the Stuart Sunday
School.
The funeral service was held at the home Sunday afternoon, at 4 o’clock,
conducted by Rev. L. C. Hoppel, and the remains were interred in the cemetery at
Carlyle, on Monday. The sympathy of the community is extended to the family in
the great bereavement.

Old Timer Gone Beyond
- - - - -
Pioneer Of Medora And Bismarck
- - - - -
Reported That His Corpse Was Found In Yellowstone Park
- - - - - -
The Bismarck Tribune, of the 13th inst., gave the following regarding an old-time
character, formerly well known there and at Medora:
News has reached here of the finding of the body of “Foul-Mouth Bill Jones” in
Yellowstone park. It is supposed that he became lost last winter and was frozen to
death.
Where is the old timer of Bismarck or Medora of thirty years ago who does not
remember “Bill Jones?” Jones was a man of limited education, but had a ready and
wonderful amount of repartee, and a warm heart. In the early seventies he was a
soldier in the regular army at Fort Pembiana, from which post he deserted, and
traveled up the Red river to where Fargo is now located, where he joined the
surveying part of the N. P. and came over the country to Bismarck, where he lived
some years. He at one time drove the mail wagon from Bismarck to Fort Stevenson.
Some thirty years ago he drifted to the Little Missouri country, where he followed
hunting and working on ranches. For two terms he served as sheriff of Billings
county. He left there some ten years ago for the Yellowstone park, in which country
he remained until his death.
To distinguish him from another “Bill Jones,” he was called “Foul Mouth Bill.”
May his soul rest in peace.

Wedding Set Social Pace

Piesik Nuptials Largely Attended
- - - - -
And Gave Citizens New Standards of Warm-Hearted Hospitality
- - - - - -
The wedding of Miss Annabel Roller to Mr. B. T. Piesik on Monday, which was
announced in The Advance last week, set some new standards of hospitality,
according to the reports of citizens who received invitations to this happy event and
to the elaborate dinner which followed it at the Piesik home of South Grant Street.
The wedding occurred in the morning, amidst a large circle of friends and
relatives of the contracting parties. Reverened Father Otto Wolpers had charge of the
ceremony, and the service was performed at the conclusion of the beautiful wedding
march so aptly designed for such occasions. Miss Roller was handsomely attired in
the conventional white silk and veiling, and was a picture of feminine loveliness.
The Advance hardly dares describe the manly appearance of the genial Barney, for
fear he may suspect us of intended flattery; but just the same, the happy groom was
there “with the goods” and looked his part admirably. The home was tastily
decorated with floral and other appropriate display, completing the setting for a most
charming picture of nuptial felicity.
Several prominent local citizens were present by special invitation at the wedding
dinner at the noon hour, and all express themselves in glowing terms regarding the
bountiful repast spread before them.
A party of these contributed together in the purchase of a very nice wedding
present as a token of their respect to the bride and groom, which was appreciatively
received, as were also numerous others from their immediate friends and kinsmen.
Mr. and Mrs. Piesik are now away on a short wedding tour, from which they will
return about the first of September.

Fatal Auto Accident

Dickinson Lady Instantly Killed

Mrs. M. H. Lindsley Run Over While Crossing Business Street
- - - - -
A terrible auto accident occurred in Dickinson last Friday night, when Mrs. M. H.
Lindsley, one of the prominent ladies of that city, was run over by an automobile
and instantly killed, her head being crushed. The auto was drived by Miss Peck, a 17-
year-old girl, two or three other young ladies being with her.
Mr. and Mrs. Lindsley were crossing the street near the library, Mr. Lindsley in the
lead and his wife following, when the automobile was heard and seen approaching.
Mrs. Lindsley appears to have become confused, backed up and started forward
again, being in the path of the machine, and crushed to death a few feet from where
her husband was standing. Miss Peck is frantic with grief over the occurrence.
It is doubtful if any inquest will be held, as no particular blame seems to be
attached to any one.

Murder At Marmarth
- - - - -
States Attorney Called To Investigate
- - - - -
Tom Corkery, a Former Railway Conductor, Was Victim of Fatal Shot
- - - - -
Word comes from Marmarth that Tom Corkery, a one-armed sheep herder well
known in that section, was the victim of a brutal murder committed between eleven
and twelve o’clock Sunday night, and was found dead on the following morning in
his wagon not more than a block from the principal business street. States Attorney
Gallagher was called over from here to ferret out the facts in the case and has not yet
returned as we go to press. From the reports current here it is gathered that a tough
character named Glass has been arrested on charge of the murder, together with
another man said to have been seen with him, whose name is not learned. Glass has a
bullet wound through his thigh, that he did not have on the previous evening, for
which no satisfactory explanation is given. The deceased was seen in the company
of Glass a few hours before the shooting occurred.
The victim was a well known character between fifty-five and sixty years of age,
and was formerly a railroad conductor but had been compelled to leave the road
owing to the loss of an arm. It is supposed that his assailants believed him to have
drawn his pay just previous to the murder and that robbery was their motive. A
version of the story has it that he had no money with him, and that the purpose of his
assailants was foiled so far as the robbery was concerned.

according to the report here, the engineer noticed that a man had been struck and

investigate the gruesome details of the affair before he passed. Persons driving back
to the scene found the body of an unknown man, mangled beyond recognition, and
bearing no marks or papers that would seem to furnish any clue to his identity.
Being on the Montana side of the line, the affair had to be reported to the coroner
at Glendive, where it is said the remains were taken. The Advance has been unable

“Paddy,” A Popular Booster For Beach

Well Liked Local Working Man Victim of Fatal Accident Monday Morning
- - - - -
All Beach mourns the death of Paddy Mulligan, which occurred late Monday
afternoon as the result of injuries which must have been received at an early hour of
the mourning somewhere along the railroad right of way west of town. The victim
was found near the coal chutes about nine o’clock in the morning, suffering from a
crushed shoulder and severe internal injuries, besides a deep scalp wound cutting
clear to the bone. There is a supposition among his friends that he must have tried to
board a moving train, but when found he was in too serious a condition to give any
coherent account of the accident, and his death occurred at the hospital a number of
hours later from the severe shock caused by the accident.
Mulligan was a popular handy man about Beach, where he had been a good deal
of the time for the past two years or thereabouts, assisting at the opera house, doing
janitor work, posting bills, and doing whatever came to his hand. He is said to have a
claim near Ekalaka, but was unable to remain on it the past year owing to drought.
Besides his characteristics as a hard worker, Paddy was well liked for his generous
qualities of heart, and his death is sincerely mourned by a wide circle of friends.
His mother, Mrs. J. Mulligan, of Everett, Mass., has been communicated with and
has sent an inquiry regarding the particulars of the accidnet.
It is believed that burial will be made at the local cemetery today.

President Hugh Egan of the Beach State Bank is a benedict, and with his bride,

Second Avenue east of the city on Tuesday morning before most of their friends had
awakened from their morning beauty naps.
This is only the romatic part of a wedding which has not been unanticipated

alone was a matter of surprise, the young people having devised a strategic scheme of
avoiding the wedding preliminaries which so many young people are glad to cut out.
For some time past they had been arranging their little home in preparation for
occupancy, and it was generally supposed the wedding would be solemnized about
September 25th. But at 4 a.m. on Tuesday, the couple repaired to St. John’s Catholic
church in this city, where they were met by Rev. Father Wopers by prearranged
appointment. They were accompanied by the groom’s father, Mr. John Egan, and by

Homesteader Takes Life
- - - - -
Brooding Over Troubles; Temporarily Crazed
- - - - -
John W. Whitmer, a Prosperous Young Farmer, Suicides on N. P. Train
- - - - -
Brooding, it is supposed, over personal troubles which he has had for the past year
or more, and as a result at least temporarily deranged, John W. Whitmer, a
prosperous young homesteader of Saddle Butte vicinity, committed suicide while a
passenger on Northern Pacific train No. six on Tuesday morning just as the train was
arriving at Jamestown.
Mr. Whitmer purchased his ticket from Agent Cooper in this city the previous
evening, and nothing was noticed of his not being in usual mental condition. He paid
his fare to Washington, D.C., the nearest prominent point to his intended destination,
which was to have been his boyhood home in Virginia. At the time of buying his
ticket he was reasonably well supplied with money, and there is every reason to
believe he fully intended going through to Virginia as originally planned.
Mr. Whitmer’s death was caused by a pistol shot, which was undoubtedly self-
inflicted, and from which he died within a few minutes. The young man was in very
fair circumstances financially, having just harvested a fair crop from his homestead
farm, on which he proved up a short time ago. It is reported, however, that he had
been greatly depressed at intervals for a year past, and it is believed that advancing
melancholia culminated in the unfortunate act which caused his death.
A brother who resides near his farm here left on Tuesday for Jamestown to take
charge of the young man’s remains.

sister Mildred, Mae Hackett, Thore Arneson and J. H. Kane of Wibaux autoed out to
the J. B. Stoddard ranch, nine miles south of Sentinel Butte, where they enjoyed
another of those sumptuous dinners which you sometime may have had the pleasure
of sitting down to - and which are frequently served at the Stoddard home. On this
occasion, however it happened to be Mr. Stoddard’s birthday, and nothing had been
overlooked to make the “spread” complete, to which it is sufficient to say, all of the
above party well done justice, and had only to regret that Mr. Stoddard’s birthday did
not come more frequent.

It is rumored that S. B Sather was married on his last trip to Allard to one of the

actually told some of his friends he was married, and he has been looking for a place
in which to live.

Mrs. J. Mulligan Here
- - - - -
Mrs. J. Mulligan of Everett, Mass., mother of P. Mulligan whose death occurred
here about three weeks ago, was an arrival on train No 5 on Monday morning,
desirous of learning such facts as could be obtained regarding the death of her son.
Mrs. Mulligan stated to The Advance that at the time of her son’s death, she was in
ill health and her relatives insisted that she could not undertake the long trip. Upon
her recovery, she could not resist the desire to come out and learn what she could of
the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate accident. Naturally the stories of foul
play have come to her ears, and it is probably that the good lady desires to satisfy
herself if there is any foundation to these reports. Mrs. Mulligan is a bright appearing
woman, and though of advanced years, shows herself to be well preserved in health
with the exception of a lameness which compels her to walk with a crutch. She has
three sons now living, but says “Paddy” was a favorite with her though he had been
absent from home now for a quite a number of years. She has a sister residing at
Missoula, and would like to be able to make the trip to that point, but may probably
not undertake it, owing to the additional distance which she would have to travel
besides the long return trip. When seen by The Advance reporter she was intending
to be in the city for about a week.

Esteemed Local Lady Passed Away Sunday
- - - - -
Mrs. Ingeborg S. Hougen, the beloved wife of O C. Hougen of this city, passed
away at the family home on Hunter Street at 8:15 on Sunday evening, October 1st.
Mrs. Hougen’s death followed a severe illness of about two weeks’ duration, during
which she had the best personal and professional care that an anxious husband and
family could provide. An affection of the heart was the immediate cause of her
death.
Funeral services were conducted on Tuesday afternoon, at the United Lutheran
church, Rev. E. A. Vaaler officiating, and the body was laid to rest in the local
cemetery amidst fond expressions of respect and esteem. Special music was
furnished for the occasion by the orchestra, and handsome floral decorations were
presented by friends.
Mrs. Hougen was born Ingeborg S. Freslie, and was married to Mr. Hougen at
Lansing, Iowa, May 2nd, 1874. From this union were born to them two daughters and
four sons: Mrs. F. S. Prettyman of Sioux Falls; Mrs. C. H. Moulton of Beach; Odin,
George and Jesse Hougen of this city, and Harry Hougen of Grafton, all of whom
survive her.
The deceased was an affectionate wife and mother, and a neighbor of whom there
were no complaints. She will be sincerely missed from the community as well as
from the family circle where her presence meant so much of comfort and cheer.
Mr. Hougen asks that his thanks be expressed to friends for kind aid and sympathy
rendered during the time of Mrs. Hougen’s sickness, death and burial; not omitting a
special word of gratitude to those who assisted at the funeral with floral offerings,
and with the musical numbers, and with the use of vehicles.

had been ailing for some time, and medical aid seemed to help her some, but she was

Fatal Gas Explosion

Caused Death of Popular Wibaux Woman

Mrs. John Inman Received Injuries Which Caused Death While Lighting Stove
- - - - - -
A gasoline explosion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Inman at Wibaux on
Sunday morning caused the death of Mrs. Inman after eight or nine hours of intense
suffering from terrible burns. Mrs. Inman’s demise was the result of a mistake in
using gasoline, under the supposition that it was kerosene, for kindling the fire in the
kitchen range. The highly volatile liquid was poured upon the blaze from the can,
resulting in an instant explosion, from which the woman’s body was fairly burned to
a crisp. Though suffering intensely, the victim remained fully conscious almost to
the last. She leaves, besides her husband, two small children one and two years old.
Her mother, residing at Anoka, Minn., was expected at Wibaux Monday afternoon to
help look after the bereaved family. Undertaker R. E. Walker of this city was called
over to prepare the remains for burial, after which the body was shipped to Anoka for
interment.
The deceased was born Miss Flossie Scribner, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
H. Scribner, old time residents of Anoka. She was a young woman, highly esteemed
by all who knew her; and the bereavement sustained by the husband, parents and little
children will be a matter of sincere regret to a wide circle of friends.

Death Of Popular Young Woman
- - - - -
Miss Jennie VanHorn of Sentinel Butte, who came over to the Beach Hospital a
few weeks ago to receive care and nursing through the advanced ages of
consumption, passed away at an early hour on Monday morning. The young woman
was but eighteen years of age, and was a granddaughter of H. Franzen, with whom
she had resided. N. D. VanHorn, the girl’s father, was here from Winthrop, Minn., at
the time of her death, and took charge of the remains, which we understand were
taken to Sentinel Butte for interment. The grandfather, Mr. Franzen, had just been
taken to a hospital at Bismarck for treatment a few days before Miss VanHorn’s
death, and was therefore unable to be present at the funeral.

Sheriff Will Is Dead

Demise Occurred At Medora Thursday
- - - - - -
Coroner E. O. Gault of This City to Act as Sheriff Till Successor Named
- - - - - -
Sheriff Henry Will died at his home in Medora yesterday morning about ten
o’clock, after a prolonged run of typhoid fever. The report reached here a short time
afterwards by phone, and while there is no surprise, as the seriousness of his
condition was fully appreciated, the news of his death is a distinct shock to those who
were acquainted with the sheriff. Mr. Will is a brother of ex-Sheriff Chas. Will, who
completed his second term in the office last year. The now deceased sheriff had
served less than a year on his first term, but had already become quite widely known
throughout the country, and was counted by his friends to be a most efficient officer.
It is believed that the funeral will be held and interment made at the cemetery at
Medora.
Under the law of succession, County Coroner Ed O. Gault of this city becomes
acting sheriff in Mr. Will’s stead, until a meeting of the county commissioners, when
a duly authorized successor may be appointed. Mr. Gault was called to Medora
yesterday to look after the official duties.
