Mutilated Body is Found Beside Track
- - - - -
Glendive, Mont., Dec. 29 - Mike Frank, a man who had, it is said, been working at
Terry was struck and instantly killed last Saturday morning by a Northern Pacific
train at a point about five miles west of this city. The body was found shortly after 7
o’clock by a section man, and it is not known what train caused the unfortunate
man’s death.
The body was brought to the city and interment was made in the local cemetery.
As far as is known Frank has no relatives in this part of the country and it is
understood that he came from Canada some months ago.
The body when found, lay close beside the track and it had been virtually cut in
two by the wheels. It was terribly mutilated and portions of the vital organs were
scattered about near where the body was found. The body was not frozen when first
discovered, so it is evident that the accident had occurred but a short time previously.
It is not known whether Frank was stealing a ride and fell from the train, or was
walking up the track when he was hit. He had been in Glendive the night preceding
and, it is reported that he had been drinking considerably.
The body was dressed in a good suit of clothing and on the outside of the trousers
were overalls. Nothing was found in the pockets except a partly used meal book of a
Terry restaurant.

Woman Quarreled With Sweetheart
- - - - -
Grafton, N.D. Dec. 29 - Evidence of a lover’s quarrel, occurring less than an hour
before the time that she is supposed to have met death under the wheels of a Northern
Pacific passenger train a half mile south of this city, was brought out at Grafton last
night in the inquest into the tragic death of Miss Mary Terrill, aged 21, manager of
the Western Union Telegraph company office here.
The girl is supposed to have met death under the wheels of the Winnipeg to St.
Paul night express, passing through Grafton about 8:15 o’clock in the evening.
Just a few minutes before 1 o’clock Miss Terrill had quarreled with her sweetheart,
Ivan Erhardt, a Great Northern telegrapher, because of his refusal to heed her request
to refrain from attending a little social gathering.
That was the last seen of Miss Terrill. Erhardt continued on his way to the social
affair, spending the evening there.
Miss Terrill evidently left the business district of Grafton immediately walking
down the N. P. Track to the point where she was run down.
Whether death was accidental or with suicidal intent, is still uncertain, the
coroner’s jury failing to complete its work last night, adjourning till this morning.
The remains found yesterday morning, have little semblance of those of a human
being. One arm was found three miles from the point where she was run down, and
parts of the body are strewn along the rail over that entire distance. The head has not
yet been found, though the scalp has been recovered.

Killed in Coal Mine Accident
- - - - -
C. G. Cook, Former Golden Valley Resident, Killed in Mine Cave In
- - - - -
Christmas was suddenly changed from a day of rejoicing to one of sadness for the
C. G. Cook family, former resident of this territory, when the husband and father was
the victim of injuries while mining the family’s supply of winter coal at their new
home near Lewistown, Mont., which resulted in his death three days later.
With a nephew, Mr. Cook had gone to a coal mine located but a short distance
from the homestead. After securing the load, the nephew, who was handling the team
while Mr. Cook was gathering up the tools, started to drive out of the runway to make
room for a waiting team. He had gone but a short distance when he was startled by a
loud crash, and turned around only to find Mr. Cook buried beneath several tons of
coal and earth. It is presumed that the load taken out had so loosened the
embankment that the jar of the load leaving the pit caused the cave-in.
When recovered, Mr. Cook was unconscious. An examination revealed that he
was internally crushed. His death resulted three days later after intense suffering.
Mr. and Mrs. Cook were former residents of this locality, filing on a homestead on
the state line northwest of Beach. They were well known in the Golden Valley.
After proving up on the homestead here, they took advantage of the enlarged
homestead act and went further west, filing on a claim near Lewistown, Mont., near
where the fatal accident occurred. The deceased was forty years old and besides his
wife leaves two step-daughters, Mrs. Ole Sathrum of this city and Mrs. Bonnhorn, of
Louisville, Ky., and two sisters, Mrs. Effie Singletary and Mrs. Sarah Michler, both of
Beloit, Wis. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church in this city, Rev. F. W.
Gress presiding, interment following in the Beach cemetery.
Mr. Cook had taken out a $2,000 insurance policy but a few days before the
accident which resulted in his untimely death, which will go far to furnishing the
necessities for the widow in her declining years.

A Fearful Coal Mine Accident
- - - - -
John C. Miller Another Victim of the Deadly Cave-in at Wibaux
- - - - -
The deadly cave-in has caused another casualty, this time John C. Miller, a farmer
residing two miles south of Wibaux, where Mr. Miller was mining his winter supply
of coal. Death was instantaneous.
The accident occurred shortly after the noon lunch hour, following which Miller,
who was being aided by a man by the name of Brooks, was getting out a little more
coal to top out his load. Nearly every bone in his body was broken, and he was
mutilated almost beyond recognition when a heavy bank of earth, rock and coal
suddenly gave way without warning crushed him to the ground. Brooks, who was
working but three feet away, was untouched, but for a moment was dazed with the
horror of Miller’s sudden death and was unable to move.
A telegram announcing Miller’s sad and untimely death was received by Angus
Smith living near this city, who is a brother-in-law of the deceased. He went to
Wibaux Tuesday afternoon to assist in making funeral arrangements, returning the
following day.
Funeral services, in charge of the Beach camp of Modern Woodmen of America,
of which Miller was a member, was held in Wibaux yesterday, the body being
interred in the Wibaux cemetery. In response to a telegram announcing her brother’s
death, Mrs. Fred Clueth, of Black River Falls, Wis., arrived Wednesday to be present
at the funeral. The deceased was also a sister of Mrs. Joe Galster, formerly of this
place, but who now resides at Alma Center, Wis. A brother, Ernest Miller, living
near Wibaux, was the deceased’s only relative in this vicinity. His widow, a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Lige Smith, north of Beach, but who are spending the winter in
Florida, and four children, the youngest of two years and the eldest of fourteen,
survive. To make the tragedy even more sad, Mrs. Miller is at present seriously ill in
a hospital at Warm Springs, Mont., where she has been confined for two weeks, and
was unable to attend the funeral.
This is the second fatal accident of this nature which has affected Beach people in
the past week, the other being the death of Charles G. Cook, chronicled in this paper
last week. The lignite coal mine is reaping its harvest of victims at this season of the
year, and the utmost care and precaution should be exercised by parties mining their
own coal.

Sudden Death of Rev. E. I. M. Synnes
- - - - -
Faithful Shepherd of His Flock Succumbs to Paralytic Stroke
- - - - -
Rev. E. I. M. Synnes passed away at his home on the north side in this city early
Wednesday morning from a stroke of paralysis with which he was seized the previous
afternoon. His wife and children were at the bedside when the end came. Rev.
Synnes retained consciousness up to the last.
Although he had not been in good health for several years, there was no intimation
either by his family or friends that the end was so near. The seizure came at about 4
o’clock in the afternoon while Mr. Synnes was sitting in the parlor perusing a paper.
He was discovered lying in a helpless condition on the floor shortly after by one of
the children. Although medical aid was at once secured, efforts for his relief were
fruitless, with the result that the end came at 1:45 Wednesday morning.
Rev. Synnes was born near Aalesund, Norway, fifty-four years ago. He received a
high education Norway and Denmark, coming to American in 1883 and completing
his preparation for the ministry in a Lutheran Seminary in this country in 1891. He
held several responsible pastorates, coming to Beach from Minot in 1911. He was a
conscientious, indefatigable worker, and at one time, since becoming identified with
his duties here, was pastor of ten different charges, which he served faithfully and
well. At the time of his death he had charge of the work at Trotters and Blue
Mountain, Hodges and Wibaux, Mont.
In 1897 he was united in marriage to Miss Bergette Olson, who with three children
survive a loving and dutiful husband and father. Funeral services will be held at he
church in this city, conducted by Rev. Bursette, either Saturday or Sunday, depending
upon the arrival of relatives from the east. The body will be whipped to Minneapolis,
where interment will be made.
Funeral services, we are informed as we go to press, will be held on Tuesday
afternoon, at 1:00 o’clock p.m. at the Lutheran church. The Rev. Th. Larsen, of
Taylor, N.D., Rev. Thorpe of Belfield, N.D., and Rev. Breeu of Sinns, N.D., will be
in attendance and say the last words over their comrade.

Harry Heath, Jr., Dies Suddenly
- - - - -
Is Taken With Heart Seizure and Passes Away a Few Hours Later
- - - - -
The people of Beach were shocked Wednesday morning to learn of the sudden
death of Harry Heath, the 23-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Heath of this city,
who expired at the State Line Hotel at 10:40 o’clock Tuesday night. Harry had
attended the Bijou program earlier in the evening, and was taken with a sinking spell
before he could reach the hotel, where he was carried as he was overcome on the
street. Valvular leakage of the heart, with which he had been troubled for several
years, was the cause of his death, and this trouble was augmented by the heavy damp
weather of the past week. His death came as a terrible shock to his relatives and
friends.
Modest, unassuming, and of an exceptional disposition, Harry possessed friends in
all who knew him, and all who knew him experience a distinct personal loss at his
untimely passing. Together with his parents, with whom he has made his home, he
came to Beach about six years ago from Mandan, and was one of the original class of
four which entered the Beach high school shortly after the completion of the first
building.
Besides his parents he is survived by one brother, Cyril, with his father associated
in the Standard Oil business here, and one sister, Mrs. Dorothy Thomas, of Kenmare.
The latter had but just returned to her home after a week’s visit here when she
received the telegram announcing her brother’s death.
Funeral services were held at the Congregational church, G. V. VanTausk of St.
Matthew’s Chapel, Episcopal, having charge of the impressive services. A vocal
selection by Harry Burt, “At the End of a Perfect Day,” the words commemorative of
a perfect life resulted in scarcely a dry eye in the church. Foster’s orchestra played as
pallbearers carried the casket to the bier, and at the conclusion of the service, as the
many friends took their last look upon the dead face of one so beloved in life, played
“Asleep in the Arms of Jesus.” Many beautiful floral tributes, given by the pupils of
the high school and friends, covered the casket.
The funeral cortege was several blocks long. Upon arriving at the cemetery,
where interment was later made, Mr. Van Tausk conducted a brief burial service
before the silent form was laid away from the eyes of men to await the last great
summons of the Master on the resurrection morn.
The Advance and a legion of friends, friends of both deceased and bereaved,
extend their heartfelt sympathies to the family visited by the somber shadow.

Miss Emmaline Straub was born Nov. 16, 1824, in Bloomsburg, Columbia county,
Pa. There she grew to young womanhood, and in 1842 she was married to John
Stecker. To this union were born twelve children, of which nine are still living. J. H.
Stecker, Sentinel Butte; Mrs. Sam Conser, Redby, Minn.; Mrs. Frank Stecker,
Bemidji, Minn.; Mrs. Chauncy Hurd, Tacoma, Wash.; Mrs. Greg Thoburn, Martins
Ferry, Ohio; E. C. Stecker, Westerheim; Mrs. Mary Reed, Morristown, Minn.; Dell
Stecker, Spokane Ridge, Wash. In 1852 the family moved to Michigan.
In 1860 Mrs. Stecker immigrated to southern Minnesota, and in 1893 to the
northern part. In 1903, with several of the grown up family, she moved to North
Dakota, taking a homestead north of Sentinel Butte, where she resided till after
proving up on her claim. Later she went to live with her daughter at Westerheim,
where she died of old age, January 6th, 1915
, having passed the ninetieth milestone by
two months and twenty days.
Grandma Stecker had the proud distinction of being grandmother to seventy-two
boys and girls, seventy of whom are sill alive; great grandmother to eighty-two boys
and girls, eighty-one of whom still live; and great great grandmother to three boys and
girls. Her husband was killed some years before her death, and she trod life’s
pathway alone till the summons came.
Funeral services were held at the Westerheim school house Friday afternoon, Jan.
8, by Rev. F. W. Gress of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city, and interment
made in the new cemetery adjoining the school house ground. The neighborhood
turned out in such large numbers that it was entirely impossible for all to get into the
building, and the windows were raised to let those on the outside hear the services.

Linda Knox Passes Away
- - - - -
One of the Most Loved and Respected Residents of This City
- - - - -
Miss Lucinda Tubbs was born at Winona, Minn., Feb. 15, 1857, living there and at
Stewartville, Minn., until her marriage to Mr. Edwin E. Hutchins, October, 1882. To
this union was born one child, Leora Hutchins, now Mrs. Alex Douglass. Mr.
Hutchins passed away in 1890, leaving the wife and daughter to fight the battle of life
together. On June 1909, Mrs. Hutchins was united in marriage with Mr. C. V. Knox,
coming with him to Beach to live soon after marriage. Only a few brief happy years
was granted them together as Mr. Knox was suddenly called home after a long
faithful christian service on August 20, 1912. Mrs. Knox was prostrate with grief at
this sudden bereavement and has never been entirely well since, though she continued
actively engaged in her church duties. On Saturday morning she was apparently
feeling better than usual and spoke of it to her daughter, who had been visiting with
her for three weeks, but in a few hours she was suddenly taken with a stroke and soon
became unconscious, breathing heavily, because of the paralysis of the respiratory
organs, she never regained consciousness passing away at three o’clock.
She leaves to mourn her loss, four brothers and three sisters, Lester G., Charles,
Henry and Merritt Tubbs of Stewartville, Minn., Mrs. Ida Own of Stewartville, Mrs.
Helen Minette of Seattle, Mrs. Will Shermerhorn of Rocky Butte and her daughter,
Mrs. Alexander Douglass of Wilton, N.D.
The funeral was held at the Congregational church Tuesday morning, Jan. 26, at
eleven o’clock, and in spite of unusually cold weather, the church was crowded to its
utmost seating capacity and many and beautiful were the floral tributes.
The choir paid their tribute to one who has been their staunchest supporter by
singing the anthems that she most treasured, “One Sweetly Solemn Though” by
Ambrose; “Beyond The Smiling and the Weeping” by Mary N. Howard; “Crossing
the Bar” by Jacob Barney.
Rarely could greater tribute be paid to any life than that paid by the pastor, Rev.
W. Howard Thomlinson, from the composite text found in Ester 4: 14, 16; Ruth I: 16,
and Mark 14:8. “Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such as
time as this,” “And so I will go in unto the king, which is not according to law and if I
perish, I Perish” “And Ruth said intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from
following after thee; for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest I will
lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.” “She hath done what
she could.”
The scripture quotation was from Psalms 23. The Bible used for the service was
the one presented to The Stars by Hugh A. Knowles, for the largest delegation at the
revival services, this was a fitting dedication of the book.
The pastor said in part: “I wish from the three fold message of our texts to remind
you of the three fold usefulness of our sister’s life. Patriotism to her country, fidelity
to the best interests of her city and home. But above all unswerving loyalty to her
church and her Christ.
Always she rejoiced in their victories and wept at their defeats; she was faithful to
her duties in the many social organizations to which she belonged, but in it all she
never neglected the duties of the home, its comfort was not alone for her loved ones,
but like the house of old, there was room for the servant of God to find rest and
refreshment from the conflict, to find new strength for the great tasks, as an
ambassador of Christ, as the Master found rest at Bethany in the home of Martha,
Mary and Lasarus, so many of the disciples in this day have found rest at the Knox
home. Jesus said of Mary, she hath done what she could, and we repeat this
sentiment over the remains of our sister. Could she speak today she would say in my
many interests, none stands as high as my church and my Christ. Forget your unbelief
and your strife in the face of this sudden call and meet me as we gather at the river.

Death of J. M. Cooper
- - - - -
From the Lohrville Enterprise -
It was with a feeling of profound sorrow that the people of Lohrville learned on
Tuesday morning that our fellow townsman, J. M. Cooper, had passed from this life
at an early hour that morning. Mr. Cooper came here from Harcourt about eighteen
months ago and engaged in the harness business and since him coming among us had
made many warm friends among our people. He was of a quiet retiring nature and
gave his entire attention to his business. A little over a week ago he began
complaining of a severe cold and on Wednesday of last week took to his bed and
called a physician. Pneumonia developed and he gradually grew worse until the end
came on Tuesday morning in spite of all that medical skill and tender loving care
could do to relieve his suffering.
On Sunday his condition had become so alarming that it was decided best to send
for his sons who reside in North Dakota and messages informing them of his
condition were sent. The sons started on the first available train, but before they
reached the bedside of the afflicted parent he had passed to the great beyond.
Jacob Milton Cooper was born at Pittsfield, Pike county, Ill, on Sept. 5th, 1850,
and died at Lohrville, Iowa, January 25, 1915
, aged 64 years, 4 months and 20 days.
At the age of 15 years he enlisted in the U.S. regular army when he served in
Indian campaigns in North Dakota and Montana until 1868.
After leaving the regular army he located at Fort Dodge, Iowa, where he learned
the trade of harness maker and where on September 24, 1873, he was united in
marriage with Josie Celia Underwood. Two sons were born to this union - Duncan
M., of Beach, North Dakota and Frank D. of Dickinson, North Dakota. In addition to
the two sons there survive his widow, one sister, Mrs. M. E. Sewell, of Sac City and
two brothers, Frank J. of Patoka, Ill., and Wm. E. of Sac City.
After his marriage he removed to Nebraska and later to Illinois and returned to
Iowa about eleven years ago and again settled in Webster county, engaging in
business first at Stratford and later at Harcourt, coming to this place in the summer of
1913.
In his early manhood he affiliated with the A. F. & A. M. and the R. A. M. in each
of which he was a member in good standing at the time of his death retaining his
membership in the former at Startford and the latter at Oneida, Ill. He was also a
member of the Lohrville Chapter O. E. S. and M. W. A. He was also a member of the
M. E. church at Wataga, Ill.
The funeral service was held Wednesday afternoon from the family home on Oak
street and was conducted by Rev. J. H. Mahaffy, of the Presbyterian church, under the
auspices of the Lohrville Masonic Lodge assisted by several members from the
Startford lodge. The out of town attendants at the services were his two sons from
North Dakota, Mrs. M. E. Sewell, sister to the deceased from Sac City and Mr. and
Mrs. L. W. Schaffner of Fort Dodge, Mrs. Schaffner being a sister to Cooper.

The funeral of Mrs. Celia Kidder, wife of Jesse B. Kidder of Trotters, was held in

Dies Before Arrest
- - - - -
Leeds, N.D., Feb. 9 -
Death cheated the authorities of Benson county in their attempts to serve papers
on one Goodman Skaar of Leeds this morning. When the officers arrived at his
rooms to take him into custody they found that he had died some time during last
night. County Coroner Dr. C. W. Warner stated this afternoon that death was caused
from la grippe and that there were no indications of suicide as was at first believed.
Skaar, a married man, first gained notoriety several weeks ago when charges were
preferred against him by a girl in Leeds.
Knowing that the man could not escape they awaited such time as he would be
sufficiently recovered to be about. Having recovered sufficiently Saturday,
preparations were made to take him into custody this morning. On their arrival they
discovered that he had passed away some time during the night.
Skaar is survived by several children, his wife having died some time ago.

Mrs. Louise Roble
- - - - -
Austin, Minnesota Transcript -
Mrs. Louise Roble died at her home in this city on West Oakland avenue Friday
evening, shortly after 7 o’clock.
Mrs. Roble suffered a slight stroke of paralysis last spring, which was followed by
a severe one in June. A third followed last Wednesday evening about 6 o’clock. She
was conscious for about an hour and then fell into a state of unconsciousness from
which she never rallied.
Louise S. Warnemunde was born near Berlin, Germany, December 15, 1854.
When a child of four she removed with her parents to this country and settled near
Chicago, about a year later they removed to St. Peter, near which place the father
bought a woodland farm. Here she spent her childhood and young womanhood, and
here she was married at the age of eighteen to Ignatius Roble. Mr. Roble was a
carpenter and mill wright and the family lived in St. Peter, Mankato, New Ulm and
Cannon Falls. Thirty-one years ago they removed to Lansing where Mr. Roble had
charge of the old mill at that place for a short time. They came to Austin and for two
years Mr. Roble managed the Gregson mill. They then moved into the city, on
Oakland avenue, where the family has resided since and where Mr. Roble died
December 8, 1893.
Mrs. Roble was a member of the Congregational church, but during Rev. Mr.
Homel’s pastorate here, when German services became a part of his pastoral plan, she
united with the Presbyterian church and has since been a faithful member and a
devoted church worker.
She was a charter member of the Yeoman lodge, of the Royal Neighbors and the
Court of Honor. She was also a member of the Lady Maccabees.
Mrs. Roble was one of a family of ten children, three brothers of whom survive,
John of Le Sueur Center, Charles and Fred of Minneapolis, two sisters Mrs. Mary
O’Donnell of Minneapolis and Mrs. Berta Mueller of Moorehead.
Of the ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Roble, two daughters, Louise and Vroni
died in childhood and the following survive, Frank of Towner, N.D., T. N. of Beach,
N.D., Mary Uecker, Tracie Young and Annie of Austin, Fred of Deering, N.D.,
Bertha of Denver, Dora of Sioux Falls, S.D., and eight children (sic - probably
grandchildren). One grandson Robert has always made his home with his
grandmother.
Mrs. Roble was one of that type of women whom to know is to honor. Left with a
large family of little children to fight the battles of life alone, she worked hard, kept
her faith and her courage and won out nobly. Her sons and daughters gathered from
near and far to pay their tribute to her as a mother. Devoted to her home and its
duties, in later life she found time for outside activities, and was faithful to the
obligations of the lodges of which she was a member, of late years especially devoted
to the services of her church. Surely of her it may be said, “She hath done what she
could.”
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 2:00 from the Presbyterian church with
interment in Oakwood cemetery.

Glendive Resident Was Murdered

On Way to Join Regiment in German Army - Body in Ship’s Bunker
- - - - -
Word was received in this city early in the week to the effect that the body of a
Dawson County homesteader, Charley L. Heuser, was found in the coal bunkers of
the North German Lloyd steamship, Nieu Amsterdam, just as the ship was about to
sail for Rotterdam, Holland.
Although indications pointed to the man having been murdered, the sum of
$750.00 in money was found in a belt which he wore around his body.
Heuser, who is well known in this city is said to have left his wife about two
weeks without funds and without giving her any intimation of his contemplated trip
to Germany to join his old regiment in the European war. He had $700 on his person
when he left here for Bismarck, N.D., from which city he wrote to a Glendive friend
telling him of his plans to visit the old company.
He was known to have told several friends in this city that he would enlist in the
German army if the Germans ever seemed to be getting the worst of the fight, and it
is thought that his determination to make the trip was the outcome.
When he left home it is said that he told his wife he was going to Glendive to
straighten out some business matters and so far as can be learned up to the time of
going to press, he made no mention of his contemplated trip to any of his friends
while here.
Heuser first came to Glendive about ten years ago, first working as a stationary
engineer. Later on he filed on a homestead, where he has resided with his wife ever
since. It is understood the body has been ordered shipped back to this city for
interment. - Glendive Monitor.

Adoniram Judson Reichenecker
- - - - -
Adoniram Judson Reichenecker passed to rest at his home in Beach, Monday,
March 29th, at seven o’clock; and for the third time in a week we were called upon to
perform the last sad offices of the dead.
Mr. Reichenecker an old resident of Beach had not been for some time in the best
of health. The insidious nature of his malady however, rendered it unrecognizable
until it was too late to check it; though all was done that was possible by his relatives
and friends. Consultation was had with Minneapolis physicians but as no hope of
recovery could be held out to him he returned to sink quietly to rest in his own home.
His mother and sister were present at his bedside, but his only daughter who was
teaching school southwest of Alpha was unable to reach him in time.
The funeral services were conducted at the Adventist church by Pastor A. V.
Rhodes. His many friends attested by their presence to the esteem in which he was
held in Beach.
The deceased was sixty-two years and five months of age, having been born in Des
Moines, Ia., Nov 29, 1853. Here his boyhood days were past, but at the age of
seventeen he went west with his parents, living in Denver several years. Later he
returned to Des Moines, where he spent the best years of his life. Here he met and
married Mrs. Emma Olson in April 1895. To this union but one child was born, Miss
Evelyn.
Removing to Beach in 1905, he has since become well and favorably known here
as a decorator. His many friends and acquaintances will long remember him as a
kind and genial man, ever ready to help the unfortunate. Those more intimate with
him and familiar with his home life will not fail to recall with a sudden mist of eye
his tender constant care and devotion for his aged mother.
While in the tender years of youth he gave heed to the wise man’s injunction to
“Remember now Thy Creator in the days of the Youth,” and was converted and
joined the Baptist church. When weighty cares and troubles of this life pressed
heavily upon him, he seemed for a time to forget the great helper, but in his last
sickness he turned with the simplicity of a child and in full surrender to his Master.
Now he rests waiting for the glad day to be when all that are in their graves shall hear
his voice and shall come forth.”

Mrs. Paulson
- - - - -
A death that cast a shadow of gloom over the entire community occurred in this
city Friday last when the spirit of Mrs. Martha Paulson passed to its reward.
Martha Borstad was born in Norway sixty-one years ago and came to the United
States when she was fifteen years old. She was married forty years ago to Gust
Paulson and ten children were born to this union, eight of which survive her. The
deceased had been a widow for ten years and during that time kept her family of
children together and made home life a pleasure to them and her death was a terrible
blow to the family.
Mrs. Paulson had been ill since about Xmas and went to the home of a son at
Butte, Montana, where she consulted specialists. Her condition however, grew more
serious and two weeks ago she returned to Beach. While it was known that she was
in a serious condition, yet her death was unexpected and she passed away rather
suddenly of heart disease Friday. Funeral services were conducted from the Lutheran
church in this city Monday and interment was made in the Lutheran cemetery here.
The children who are left to mourn the death of a kind and faithful mother are Mrs.
C. O. Carson and Misses Cora, Hazel, Francisco and Vera and Phillip of Beach, G.
W., of Butte, Montana and P. G., of Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
The Advance joins with a host of friends throughout the Golden Valley in
extending sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

(Contributed.)
Louise Magdelena Jenewein was born at Prairie du Sac, Wis., May 15, 1858.
There she grew to mature womanhood, and on March 6, 1882, she was married to
Robert J. Stiehl of Black River Falls, Wis. To this union were born six children, two
daughters and four sons; Nora E., Oren D., Clarence J., married, Della C. Married to
Ira Hawley, Rollin H., and Raymond I., all of whom are alive but the last one named,
who died at three and a half years of age. In the spring of 1909, Mr. and Mrs. Stiehl
moved from Black River Falls to Beach, making their home on a farm four miles east
and one mile north of town. Here they lived till the fall of 1913, when they moved to
Beach. Mrs. Stiehl had an attack of grip about three weeks before her demise, but
she rallied from this somewhat. However on Tuesday the 16th, she had an attack of
pneumonia from which there were no serious results expected, the attack apparently
being light. But the unexpected happened when at about five o’clock Wednesday
morning the 24th, the heart which for fifty-six years, ten months and nine days had
unremittingly kept the red life-giving fluid coursing thru the body gave its final beat
and sister Stiehl slipped away from her loved ones. She came from a large family of
thirteen children, five daughters and eight sons, seven of the company leaving for the
eternal world before her decease. Those living are Mrs. Mary Steuber of Prairie du
Sac, Wis., Mrs. H. D. Stiehl of Black River Falls, Wis., Jacob Jenewein of New
Hampton, Ia., George of Urnfold, Sask., and Henry of Willow City, N. Dak. Mrs.
Stiehl was converted at the age of fourteen and joined the German Evangelical
church at Prairie du Sac, Wis. Twenty-two years ago last fall she united with the
Methodist Episcopal church at Trout Run, Wis., by transfer and of this church she
was a faithful member till she was transferred to the church triumphant. Her last
testimony given at the church was a clear witness to the uttermost salvation in Jesus
in which she rejoiced. She leaves a most devoted husband and children with many
friends to mourn their loss. Rev. F. W. Gress, her pastor preached the funeral sermon
in the church from Num. 23:10 to a large congregation, and interment was made in
the Beach cemetery Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. March 27th. The sympathy of
many friends and acquaintances follow the bereaved ones.

- - - - -
John Slominski, pioneer of Walsh county, North Dakota, was born in German
Poland, Jan. 26, 1852. He spent his boyhood days there with his parents until 1872,
when he came to Wimona, Minn., where he stayed for eight years and was untied in

Body Found In Manure Pile
- - - - -
John Scott disappeared over a year Ago - Clarence Orton bound over On Murder
Charge
- - - - -
Cando, N.D., April 12 -
Clarence Orton, aged 22, was today bound over to the Towner county district
court charged with the murder of John Scott, aged 50, the alleged crime taking place
on Dec. 1, 1913, and only coming to light Sunday afternoon, when Orton, pressed by
Sheriff James Taylor, revealed the manure sepulchre in which he had buried the
victim.
Not until 30 days ago was Scott’s murder suspected, and it was not till last
Thursday that Sheriff Taylor was apprised of rumors circulating about Hansboro, near
which town the murder of over a year ago occurred.
Orton, in a partial confession, alleged to have been made to Sheriff Taylor,
implicated Thomas Rod a farm hand residing near Hansboro but the coroner’s
inquest, which was commenced Sunday night at 8 o’clock and continued till 4
o’clock this morning failed to return a finding against Rod. Prosecuting officials
have taken no steps against him
About $400 in cash, and considerable personal property, which Orton announced
at the time of Scott’s disappearance, had been purchased by him, comprise the booty
for which the crime was done.
Scott met death by a bullet through the head, evidently fired from the front.
Demented Wife’s Clue
Mrs. Scott, an inmate of the state institute for the feeble minded at Grafton, by a
letter to a woman residing near Hansboro, is responsible for revealing the tragedy,
Mrs. Scott seeking information as to the whereabouts of her husband. Mrs. Scott was
sent to the institution during the summer of 1913.
The fact that Mrs. Scott knew nothing of her husband’s whereabouts, coupled with
more or less suspicions circumstances surrounding Scott’s supposed departure from
the district, after residing there about 25 years, led to ugly rumors the calling in of
Sheriff Taylor and his subsequent success in bringing forth from young Orton the
hiding place of the body, and the actual recovery of the remains.
Pioneer Residents
Scott and his wife were pioneer resident of this district, and they lived together till
Mrs. Scott became feeble minded, and was sent to the Grafton institute. Mr. Scott
continued to farm his place.
On Dec. 2, 1913, Orton announced that he had purchased Scott’s farm equipment
consisting of four horses, a cow, two wagons, a plow and a mover. The purchase
wasn’t questioned at the time, although Scott’s sudden disappearance occasioned no
little surprise, because he had not intimated his intended departure.
Suspicion Aroused
But it wasn’t till Mrs. Scott’s letter from the feeble minded institute, inquiring for
her husband, that the few suspicions that had been aroused developed into an official
inquiry.
Orton is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Orton, well known residents of the
Hansboro district, having made their home there for the past fifteen years.
Orton’s alleged confession was made on a farm between Hansboro and Calvin,
where he was employed. He directed the sheriff to the manure pile, near the Orton
farm, where the body was recovered. It had been buried several feet, and was in bad
shape.
The prisoner was held for first degree murder today, waiving examination. He will
not be permitted freedom under bonds, as bonds are not allowed in first degree
murder cases. He is not married.

John Gilbert Thomlinson
- - - - -
Seldom has the death of a child affected so many people as did the passing of little
John Gilbert Thomlinson. The little fellow has always been a sufferer. In infancy, a
serious illness left him with a distressing affection that must have eventually cost him
his life after possibly years of suffering. About a year ago he was an easy victim of
typhoid fever which also left him with a sad sequel rarely curable. He has never been
known to complain. Such was the noble heroism of this beautiful child life, that it
seems all too sad that his kind cannot be spared to a world which so much needs
living models of the nobler virtues.
The family have the sympathy of the city in their loss, and they also have their
congratulations that only beautiful memories remain of their little one.
Rev. Mr. Keniston, assisted by the pastors of the local churches, and Rev.
Lovelace of the Congregational church at Hebron, conducted the services and
interment was made in the local cemetery.

William Egan Dies At Brothers Grave

Latter Attacked by Thugs on Way to Dakota Was Left to Die
- - - - -
Grand Forks, N.D., April 26 -
Stricken with paralysis at the side of the open grave of his brother, William Egan
of Port Arthur, Ont., died yesterday, according to telegraphic advices received last
evening by relatives in this city. Back of the second tragedy there is the striking story
of John Egan’s remarkable experience which ended in his death just a week ago.
John Egan, a prosperous Port Arthur merchant, with about $300 upon his person,
left Grand Forks to visit Mrs. W. R. Jack of this city, his sister. Ten days later, letters
indicated that Egan had disappeared, and a search was commenced. Not for a month
was any trace found of him, and then he was discovered in a private hospital at
Sudberry, Canada about 100 miles from Port Arthur. His face had been frozen and he
was not recognizable, but a picture of his mother, found in his pocket, served to
establish identification.
It is supposed Egan was a victim of thugs who robbed him and left him bereft of
his senses by a blow, and that he wandered about in the cold of winter. When found
he could not talk.
William Egan made a successful search for his brother, and brought him home. A
week ago the funeral of John Egan was held at Port Arthur and as William was
standing at the side of the grave, into which the casket had just been lowered, he was
stricken with paralysis.

Man Hangs Wife Strangles Small Boy, Then Takes Own Life
- - - - -
Devils Lake, N.D., May 10 -
A triple tragedy without the trace of a plausible motive, with only an
uncontrollable temper to explain the horrible deed, occurred Saturday night at the
Alex Herman farm three miles northeast of Devils Lake. Today the bodies of
Herman, his wife and 12 year old boy Roy Hanley who lived at the Herman place, lie
in a local morgue awaiting only the formal verdict of a coroner’s jury to close the
case.
That Alex Herman murdered his wife and the Hanley boy and then hung himself is
the conclusion of Sheriff Martin and coroner E. W. Gilbertson.
The ten months old baby was the only living being on the place spared, Sunday
morning when the gruesome discovery was made by Senator F. H. Hyland from
whom Herman rented. The little babe was found nestled down by its mother’s side,
unable to conceive the tragedy which left it an orphan. The body of the Hanley boy
who is the son of W. M. Hanley, a local boiler maker employed by the Great Northern
was found in the barn where the boy had been strangled. Laying near it, with the
head held just far enough from the floor to permit strangulation was the body of
Herman. A harness strap was used in the execution.
Clothing, which she had made for the child which she bore for Alex Herman, was
used by him in making a crude rope to hang her. The woman’s hands were tied
behind her rendering her helpless. A noose was then fastened around the top of a bed
post and slowly the life was chocked from her.
The last person so far as can be ascertained, to see Herman alive, was Ernest
Gund, who lives just outside of the city on the road which leads to the Highland farm.
Enroute Saturday evening Herman stopped at the Gund farm between 8 and 9
o’clock completing arrangements for securing seed for a field which he was renting
from Gund. Plans were made for the week’s work and so far as the Gund family
ascertained Herman was normal in every way. It was apparent from the living room
that Mrs. Herman and Roy Hanley had finished their supper. One place was left at
the table, apparently for Herman. It appears that the boy and Mrs. Hanley had retired,
two beds in the little bedroom having been occupied.
The scant clothing on the woman’s body leads to the belief that she arose from
bed to get her husband’s supper. That an altercation occurred and that he flew into a
rage which was in reality a fit of insanity is the conclusion. It is believed the boy
ran from the house. His body was only partially clad. That he was followed to the
barn where the second murder occurred, is the belief. The position of the body, the
crude manner of the execution and general circumstances leaves no other conclusion
that that Herman took his own life.
Mrs. Herman was the sister of Mrs. Frank Aximan who with her husband and
family reside on the west side. Her parents reside at Ipewich, S.D., where Peter
Mastal, her father is a well known farmer. She was a hard working thrifty house
wife. She married Herman in February, 1914, when they were both employed at
Mercy hospital. From there they went to the Gund farm where Mrs. Herman won
admiration for her neat industrious manner. She was very well thought of by Mr. and
Mrs. Gund. The little baby was born at the Gund farm last August. In the fall
Herman secured an outfit and rented the Hyland farm which he was handling in a
very satisfactory manner. The crop on the farm was all planted and he had arranged
to rent a small tract from Gund. During the winter it was known the family was in
hard circumstances, but they were never in want. It is reported that only a short time
ago they received a substantial sum of money from Mrs. Harmon’s father.
Little Ray Hanley had been at the Herman place but a couple of months. That he
liked it there and that he was given a pleasant, comfortable home was the statement
of his father for only two weeks ago the lad was offered a chance to leave and go into
another home nearer the city, where he could work for his keep but refused to leave.
Alex Herman has a reputation in Devils Lake and the vicinity where he has
worked for a number of years, as being a hard working, industrious man whose
unfortunate characteristic was a furious temper. He was not a drinking man and was
considered a man of ordinary habits. He worked at Mercy hospital for some time
where he won a reputation as a thrifty man. He had also been employed at the
Perkins and Roberts farms.
Senator Hyland was accompanied by Frank Tracey Sunday morning when he went
out to the farm to look things over. There was not a stir of life about the place. He
went to the barn and opening the door he was confronted with a sight which will
haunt him for years.

Gets Year In Jail For Killing Farmer
- - - - -
Dickinson, N.D., May 26 -
The jury in the state case against Leslie Austin, 19 years old, son of W. L. Austin,
a big sheep grower of Slope county, returned a verdict of manslaughter for causing
the death of Anton Gyotai a year ago. The boy got into an altercation with the
homesteader and struck him over the head with a cane causing death.
There were no eye witnesses but young Austin claims he acted in self defense.
The sentence was fixed at a year in the jail at the new county seat town of Amidon.
The case was transformed (sic) from Slope to Stark county for trial.

Justified Homicide Jury’s Verdict
- - - - -
Leroy Pate was the victim who met with death in a revolver duel in the basement
of the Theo. Sweitzer (sic) home last Friday morning. Pate came here a short time
ago and was unknown to Mr. Schweitzer. He at one time worked for Mrs.
Schweitzer’s brother-in-law, Mr. Whitmore, Mitchell, S.D.
It appears from notes and letters taken from Pate’s pockets that on several
occasions he planned to make away with Mr. Schweitzer but was unsuccessful.
There is no doubt but what the young man was insane at times and in moments when
by himself planned the most fiendish deeds. In his diary, the note made of robbing
the Schweitzer store is without foundation, as there has been no time when Mr.
Schweitzer left cash there.
At ten o’clock Friday a coroner’s jury, consisting of J. R. Water, O. C. Attletweed
and W. M. Whitaker listened to the testimony which was submitted. State’s Attorney
Waldron examined the witnesses. The evidence of each of the witnesses on the case
was practically identical. The jury thereupon after deliberating an hour returned a
verdict of justifiable homicide. There is hardly any question regarding the merit of
the verdict, for all the written evidence, together with the action of the tragedy would
suggest a verdict such as the one rendered.
The remains have been interred in the local cemetery.
Sad as is the tragedy in which a young man has lost his life, it is nevertheless
better that it happened as it did. Were it not that Mr. Schweitzer was fortunate
enough to have been armed, it is quite likely that his sister-in-law, wife, little child
and himself would have lost their lives. The insane young man would have stamped
out a whole family of respected citizens of our community.

Child Drowned At Hillsboro
- - - - -
Hillsboro, N.D., June 8 -
One of the saddest affairs that has occurred in Hillsboro for some time took place
at the dam in the city park, when Evelyn, the 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Pederson of this city was drowned in shallow water. It seems that Evelyn
went to the park in company with several other little ones of her age. They were
engaged in fishing on the west bank of the river just below the railroad dam when
in some manner she fell backwards over the bank into the river. She must have been
stunned by the fall, as she seemed powerless to help herself, as she could have easily
done as the water was not over her head. She came to the surface twice, according
to the story told by her companions, and then sank out of sight. None of the children
tried to save her, but were too young to do much but their cries attracted the attention
of Tillman Hanson, who arrived on the scene and rescued the body, but too late to
save her from death. Several older people had been fishing at the dam only a short
time before and it is unfortunate that some person of mature age was not near to save
the child’s life.
Evelyn was 8 years old Sept. 10 last, and was unusually bright for her age. She
was of a lovable and pleasant disposition, and was a great favorite among her school
mates and young companions.

Hillman - Jones
One of the prettiest home weddings of the season was solemnized at high noon
Wednesday, June 6 at the home of the bride’s brother, L. H. Hillman, when Hattie
Bell Hillman became the bride of John A. Jones. The Rev. E. W. Cross officiated in
his usual charming manner.
The bride came in on the arm of her father, to the beautiful strains of the wedding
march played as sweetly as only Miss Bernice Geer can play it.
Miss Hillman, who is always charming, looked exceptionally sweet in a blue
chiffon taffeta with a bouquet of bride’s roses. She was attended by Mrs. L. H.
Hillman, who wore brown chiffon silk. Mr. L. H. Hillman, brother of the bride, was
groomsman. Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Hillman wore conventional black.
The house was very prettily decorated with pink and white sweet peas, carnations
and smilax.
Although there were tears in many eyes as Rev. Cross spoke the solemn words that
made Miss Hattie Hillman Mr. Jones’ wife, the ceremony was a joyous occasion and
a marvelously clear day foretold a sunny life for the happy pair.
As a token of their esteem friends showered upon them many lovely and useful
gifts. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Priest, where a dainty wedding breakfast was served. The decorations were pink and
white sweet peas, smilax, ferns and carnations. The following guests were present:
Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Holliday, Mr. and Mrs. Ebb Strikland, Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Swan,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Millet, Mrs. W. D. Sell, Henry D. Hefferlin, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Raven, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Priest, Mrs. James P. Cranwell, Miss Leverne Cranwell,
A. G. Depuy and Mrs. Frank Dupuy.
A feature of the wedding was the presentation of a silver-mounted walking stick to
Mr. S. L. Holliday by the happy couple.
Hattie Bell Hillman is a native of Beach, N.D. She came to Livingston one year
ago on June 16, to be the guest of her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. L. H.
Hillman. During her brief stay in Livingston she has made a host of loyal friends and
Miss Hillman is a girl of noble character and a truer friend one could not find.
Friendship to her is a sacred relationship.
Mr. Jones is a man of sterling qualities and it is said of him that no man in Park
county has more friends than Andy Jones. Five years with A. W. Miles company
brought him in close touch with many of the farmers as well as the businessmen of
this vicinity. Not one enemy in five years of serving the public is the record he made.
At present he is located on the S. L. Holliday ranch where he has been very
successful.
The bride and groom departed Thursday amid a shower of rice to spend a short

Mrs. Charlie Cunningham was born December 1868 near Cleveland, Ohio, and on
April 1, 1905 was married to Roy S. Conklin at Clarion, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Conklin
came to North Dakota in 1909 and resided on a homestead twenty two miles
northeast of Beach where they have since made their home. About nine weeks it was
observed that Mrs. Conklin had an illness, the exact nature of which mystified the
medical skill, and five weeks ago, she was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital where she
received expert attention. After an operation, and subsequent transfusion of blood
from the arm of her son, the physicians despaired of her life and on Tuesday
morning June 22, she peacefully slept to her final rest. Mrs. Cunningham has three
sons surviving her, all of whom are present to pay their last respects to their mother.
Her son Harvey and daughter Clare Cunningham of Volga City, Iowa and Donald
Cunningham who has always made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Conklin were in
attendance.
Mr. and Mrs. Conklin and family were attendants at the Methodist Episcopal
Church Mission Sabbath School at Indian Hills School, and were occasionally
attendants at worship in the Methodist Episcopal Church in Beach.
Owing to the absence of Rev. Gress who is attending Camp Meeting at

Conklin at the Methodist Church Wednesday morning at 10:30, the church choir

Allison Davis Passed Away
- - - - -
One of the Most Prominent Pioneers of Eastern Montana Passes Away Last Night
- - - - -
Allison Davis, one of the most prominent and well known pioneer citizens of
eastern Montana, passed the Great Divide at about nine thirty this (Friday) evening.
He had been in poor health for several months and had sought relief at Rochester,
Minnesota and various places in Wisconsin but without success. The end came
peacefully and without pain.
He was born at Hopperstown, Illinois about fifty six years ago. His parents, died
when he was very young. When but a boy, he left his native town for Texas and the
west. About thirty years ago he came over the trail from Texas to Montana, with a
trail herd and ever since has lived in the Beaver Valley. Shortly after his arrival in
Montana he went to work for Frank Smith at the Sheep Hook Ranch.
He was industrious, frugal and saving so that in a few years he was able to go into
the sheep and stock business for himself. His industriousness and business ability
soon accumulated for him valuable properties.
About eight years ago he sold his land, cattle, horses and sheep and moved to
Wibaux where he has resided ever since.
Among the promoters of Wibaux county, Mr. Davis was one of the foremost. He
was a tireless worker and whenever money was needed he was a most liberal donator.
He formerly was vice president of the First State Bank and at the time of his death
was president of the Wibaux Improvement Company and a member of the town
council also a member of the school board. He owned and platted the Davis Addition
to Wibaux. To him is due the credit for the excellent electric lighting and telephone
systems in use in Wibaux.
Shortly after moving to Wibaux his wife died leaving to his care three young
daughters, who survive him. The only other known relatives are a sister, Mrs.
Mathers, who was at his bedside when he passed away, and Mrs. H. D. Dennis, a
niece.
He was honest and frugal, yet liberal to a fault, when the needy called. Without
complaint could he suffer but to see others suffer he could not. He was charitable to
an extreme and yet so quietly and with out the herald of trumpets were his charitable
deeds distributed that none but his close friends knew of his many acts of kindness to
the poor and needy. He was a kind and loving father and a faithful and honest friend
and neighbor whose loss is mourned by the whole community and especially by his
relatives and intimate friends.
The funeral will be conducted on Monday at ten in the forenoon by the Elks
Lodge, of which he was an honored member, and interment will be made at the
Wibaux cemetery. - Wibaux Pioneer

- - - - -
Maynard Gileand (sic), aged 16 and residing at 209 Kittson avenue, yesterday
met death as a result of being electrocuted on a fence wire of Lincoln park at 5:45
o’clock.
A guy wire of the Grand Forks Street Railway company had come loose some time
ago and had been attached to one of the wire strands of the fence. When young
Maynard touched one of the wires of the fence he met instant death from the current
flowing through it from the trolley line.
Maynard, together with one of his companions, had spent the day at the O’Connor
farm south of the city picking gooseberries.
When ready to return to this city the boys wished to ride with L. E. O’Connor and
M. J. Culliton, but decided not to as the men were leading a stallion to the city and
they were afraid of the animal. Consequently they decided to walk and started for the
city, keeping ahead of the rig all the while. The boys had the intention of beating the
rig to the city and when Lincoln park was reached they decided to cut across to
further their purpose.
Evidently on their way they discovered a dead cow some distance ahead and
thinking the beast had been struck by lightning, hastened to see the carcass.
Young Gilleland (sic), who was ahead, touched the wires near the cow and
instantly fell between the strands. His companion, Paul Montgomery, aged 9 and
residing at 700 Third avenue, stated that the body fell and lay screaming and kicking
in the grass for an instant before becoming quiet.

Man Hangs Himself Because Cattle Got Into A Wheat Field
- - - - -
Williston, N.D., June 28 -
Because his cows got into a wheat field and he was unable to drive them out,
Halvor J. Munkevold, 66 years old, a pioneer resident, whose farm was only one mile
from Manager, hanged himself in a sod barn on a neighboring farm. The body was
found by two Greenland boys who were hunting gophers.
Often depressed in spirit because of small troubles in connection with his farm
work, Munkevold had threatened several times to “go away and you’ll never see me
again.” On each of these occasions he would go to a neighbors home and remain for
several days. Saturday morning when a herd of cattle got into a wheat field, Mr.
Munkevold went to drive them out. An hour later he had returned to the farm and
told his family that he had been unable to get them out of the wheat. He was
depressed in spirits and renewed his threat to go away and never come back.
The family remembering previous experiences were not worried when they found
that the old man did not return in a couple of days, and the first intimation of the
tragic death came when the boys found the body hanging from a wire fastened to a
log in the roof of the sod barn. The aged man had been dead several days. Coroner
O. E. Distad was summoned and ordered the body removed to the Hamre morgue in
this city. Munkevold leaves a wife and several children.

S. B. Wilson Killed In Ismay Cyclone
- - - - -
Many Houses in the Village Wrecked - Rain in Torrents Thunder Roars Lightning
Flashes
- - - - -
Ismay, July 14 -
A terrific cyclone and thunder shower passed over this village and section about
6:20 this evening, apparently following in the direction of Fallon creek, and left in its
path wreckage and debris from ruined homes and buildings in every part of the city.
One death, that of Sam B. Wilson is reported and it is considered miraculous that
the list was not greater, though a number of cases of persons being injured occurred
and there were many narrow escapes. The cyclone came up in a mass of dark colored
clouds and mingled with the crash of thunder, the continuous flashing of lightening
and rain it was an imposing and at the same time awe-inspiring effect.
It moved with such rapidity that it was impossible for anyone to escape, even if
they had known which way to turn. It demolished E. Height’s residence, above two
blocks west of the garages, then cleaned up all three garages on Main street, Wilson
Bros. Whitfield’s and Jacobson’s, scattering the wreckage like chaff and carrying
much of it to long distances. It included Jake Kellar’s blacksmith shop on the
opposite side of the street from the garages which were all in a row.
Buildings in every part of the town were touched up, some almost battered to
pieces, while others got off lightly. The electric light wires were early put out of
commission and through the gloom the rain pounded in sheets and torrents onto the
homes where the wind had demolished the roofs and windows.
Mr. Wilson, who was killed, was one of the most prominent and highly thought of
gentlemen in the community. He was a rancher, with a wife and two small children.
He was one of the most progressive dry land farmers in this section and had won
many prizes at the county and state fairs by his exhibits. He was also a great advocate
for good roads and piloted the relay car from Marmarth to Miles City, after it left
Ismay during the recent run from Chicago to Seattle. He will be greatly missed.

Farm Hand Killed By A Mower

Lankin, July 27 -
Joe Kisela aged 24 years who has been working on the farm of M. E. Sherek, west
of town, for the past two seasons, met with an accident which later cost him his life.
In company with Mr. Sherek, he was in the field, mowing hay, the former driving
the lead team, the young man’s team following a short distance behind. In some
manner the young man became entangled in the sickle and as the team ran he was
unable to extricate himself and his body was dragged for some distance. The left
lower limb and ankle were badly lacerated and one of the bones broken or cut in two.
Just how the accident happened will never be known, but as one of the horses had
thrown its bridle, it is supposed he went in front of the sickle to replace it and that
while in this position the horses started.
Medical assistance was summoned hastily and after an examination it was decided
to remove the young man to the hospital without delay. Everything possible was
done to save the young man’s life, but to no avail as he passed away, the shock,
coupled with the loss of blood, causing his death.

Accidental Drowning at Stoddard’s Dam

Jimmie Muckle Loses Life Sunday While Bathing in the Pond at Stoddard’s Dam
- - - - -
Last Sunday evening the community was shocked and saddened when news was
communicated rapidly from home to home that one of our number had met death by
drowning.
It has been the custom for years for the young men and boys of the neighborhood
to congregate at the dam to bathe, during the summer months.
Last Sunday James Muckle in company with some other young men went into the
dam and were wading in the water which was quite deep. All at once James seemed
to slip down into a deeper depression than the ground upon which they had been
standing.
Chester Stephenson of Walla (sic), Wash., who is now in the employ of I. J.
Corliss and who was with Mr. Muckle bathing became alarmed when James sank
from sight and put forth most heroic efforts to save his companion’s life. After
struggling desperately for some time trying to get the young man out of the water Mr.
Stephenson finally became completely exhausted and had it not been for the timely
assistance of the other boys he would have met with the same fate of his companion.
He was so nearly overcome that he had to be taken to one of the homes near the dam.
The general supposition is that Mr. Muckle was taken with cramps and was unable to
help himself.
Almost the whole community were at the scene in a short time and every effort
was made to recover the body but the water being so deep it was impossible to locate
the right place. The dam was drained until it was about six or seven feet deep when
one of the crowd, John Kempnich, went into the water and brought the body out.
James Muckle went down to this watery death between three and four o’clock in
the afternoon and it was nine thirty when the body was recovered. Two doctors were
on hand to do what they could but life was extinct long before the body was
recovered.
The remains were taken immediately to the home of his late employer, I. J. Corliss
where the body was embalmed. The next day it was removed to the home of his
cousin, Mr. John Hollenback from which place the funeral proceeded Wednesday
forenoon to Rocky Butte church where services were conducted by Rev. Burns of
Sentinel Butte who preached from the words in John 11:25-28 and John 13:7. He
also read a portion of John 14 and the 3rd Psalm which was Jimmie’s favorite chapter.
Together with his relatives a large concourse of friends met at this place to pay
their last tribute of love and respect to one of their number who had so lately been
with them full of health and vigor and like them looking forward to years of
usefulness and enjoyment.
The floral decorations were many and beautiful.
After the services the funeral procession proceeded to the Sentinel Butte cemetery
where all that was mortal of James Muckle was laid away to await that great day of
resurrection where we are assured there will be no more parting or shedding of tears.
The subject of our sketch, James Muckle, was born twenty three years ago at
Ballhay Donaghadee county Down Ireland, and was the son of James and Agnes
Muckle. He was one of seven children. He was a Christian boy being a member of
the Presbyterian church in the old country. He was loved and respected in his
boyhood home and has made many friends here.
He leaves to mourn his untimely death his aged parents, four sisters and two
brothers all of whom reside in Ireland with the exception of one brother, Samuel
Muckle who lives upon his homestead two miles from Sentinel Butte.
About five years ago like many another Irish lad James had a longing to try his
fortune in a new land and four years ago last April arrived at the home of his uncle,
W. G. Smith of Sentinel Butte, N. Dak.
Soon after he began work on the farm of his cousin, Mr. E. L. Walker and
remained there over a year. He then went onto the neighboring farm of another
cousin, Mr. John Hollenback where he was an efficient helper for another year, and
a year ago last November went to another neighboring farm in the employ of I. J.
Corliss where he was esteemed by the family as a most faithful assistant on the farm
which was fully appreciated by Mr. and Mrs. Corliss and was shown by the spirit in
which they did all that was possible for them to do in helping the relatives to tenderly
care for their loved one through the last sad rites.
Besides the relatives mentioned above he leaves to mourn his loss, the family of
his uncle, W. G. Smith of Sentinel Butte and also families of Mr. E. L. Walker of
Rocky Butte and an aunt in Minnesota who came here to be present at the funeral.

Obituary
Dollye Cox was born in Pole (sic), Ill., Oct. 5th, 1891. There she grew to young
womanhood. In 1909 with her parents she came to Carlyle, Montana, and some years
later to a farm three miles south of Beach, N. Dak. On August 20th, she was married
to Milton Warner. After living with her parents several months Mr. and Mrs. Warner
went to Polo, Ill., spending the winter at that place. Last spring they returned to
Beach making their home with Mrs. Warner’s parents. On August 28th, after a short
illness of complicated trouble she passed from this world to that one where sorrow
and sickness are not known. At the age of thirteen she was converted in a revival
meeting held at Providence Chapel, near Polo, Ill. On January 28th, she united with
the Methodist Episcopal church in Beach, remaining a faithful member until she
joined the church triumphant. Her prayers and testimonies in the public services of
the church were always full of implicit trust and confidence in Jesus her Savour and
Sanctifier. A short funeral service conducted by Rev. F. W. Gress, her pastor, was
held at the home of her parents Sunday afternoon, August 29th, and interment was
made at Shannon, Ill. The deceased leaves a sorrowing husband, father and mother,
three brothers, Dart, Charles and Guy, and two sisters, Mrs. Lizzie Gross of Polo, Ill.,
and Mrs. C. D. Jones of Phoenix, Ariz., besides many friends to mourn their loss and
her early demise. Death had no sting for Dollye for she knew that Jesus would see

Guyer - Brockmeyer Wedding Yesterday

Romance of the Ranch Culminated With Ceremony at High Noon at Lutheran Church
- - - - -
August Brockmeyer and Helen Guyer, prominent resident of the Rocky Butte
district, were married at high noon yesterday by Rev. Kretzman of Miles City at the
German Lutheran Church. This is the climax of a romance begun on the ranch, as the
groom is a prominent and prosperous young farmer with his property closely
adjoining the Henry Guyer holdings.
The bridal party was one of the most elaborate seen in Beach, Sam Brockmeyer,
brother of the groom being best man and Rosy Guyer, sister of the bride, the
bridesmaid. The bride was charming in a flowing gown of crepe-de-meitre trimmed
with old lace and carried the bridal bouquet of white roses. Her attendants were also
garbed in white, the material from the gowns being crepe-de-chene, and carried
shower bouquets of pink asters.
Owing to the rush of work at this season of the year the newly married couple will
postpone their honeymoon trip until later in the fall, returning at once to the
Brockmeyer ranch where they will make their home.

Newlyweds Come And Get Surprised
- - - - -
When Mr. and Mrs. William Rosenberg stepped off the train Wednesday evening
after completing their honeymoon trip, Mrs. Rosenberg was prepared to go and spend
several hard days outfitting the little nest that the two will occupy, and Bill was ready
to find things topsy-turvy in “The Toggery” on account of John Hyman’s illness and
the consequent shortage of help. However, both were surprised as the new home on
the Southside was found already prepared even as far as a fire laid in the bright little
cooking stove, and in the store all was shipshape.
Bill made one mistake by not knowing it sooner, and that was to take his bride to
the hotel for the first night in the new hometown. The furnishing of the house was
the work of a number of Rosenberg’s friends under the leadership of Art Lewison,
and Lewison was also responsible for the good shape of the things in the store.
Mrs. Roseberg (nee Miss Betty Golden of Chicago) should prove quite an
acquisition to the Beach society as she was one of the leaders of the younger set in
Chicago and is accomplished, beautiful, and vivacious. Already several affairs have
been planned for the young wife.

Thresher Killed When Engine Explodes

Beaton McDowell, aged 30, was killed when his threshing engine exploded.
McDowell standing on the tender of his engine when the explosion occurred, was
thrown back against the water tank, his back being broken by the impact.
As he fell to the ground, the engine hurtled back, one of the tractor’s driving
wheels pinning both his legs to the ground. The main force of the explosion was out
of the front of the engine, and sent the machine backwards.
For ten minutes, fully conscious, he suffered while workmen attempted to release
him. Death, however, relieved his sufferings before the men were able to free him.
The machine was being used on the Gautche farm, about nine miles north east of
Langdon, when the accident happened.
One other man was slightly injured when the drive belt was thrown off.

Wednesday afternoon little Helen the four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lem
Mooney, was bitten by a rattlesnake while playing a little way from the Mooney
house, and although she was brought to town and put in the care of a physician as
soon as possible the venom had had ample time to penetrate the blood of the little one
and her life slowly ebbed away until yesterday morning when she died.
As soon as the little girl screamed her mother went to her aid, and help was
summoned at once. Perry Allison, whose ranch is only a mile from the Mooney
house, was called to her assistance, and loaded the victim and her parents into his
Cadillac and made a hurried run for town, but as the distance is some fifteen miles
and the roads are not the best, it must have been a matter of three hours or more from
the time the child was bitten until she was placed in the doctor’s care, which was
ample time for the poison to get in its deadly work.
Dr. Bordwell did everything in his power to alleviate her suffering and overcome
the effects of the poison, but to no avail and she died the next morning.
The funeral was held this morning, Rev. Emerson holding short services at the
burial grounds. - Marmarth Mail

Meets Death Accidently
- - - - -
A shock to the community was caused Tuesday morning when the word reached
town that Sam McNeal a homesteader of considerable prominence, living southwest
of Belfield, had been accidentally killed. It seems that some of his neighbor’s horses
had gotten into his grain sometime Monday evening. Discovering their presence
about eleven o’clock he saddled his pony and started out to chase them off. In
crossing a gully, his pony stumbled, throwing Mr. McNeil to the ground breaking his
neck at the base of the brain. Death was evidently instantaneous as the posture of the
body when found was what looked to be the position it must have assumed when
striking the ground.
Mr. McNeil was a bachelor of 51 years of age, and was born and raised to
manhood in South Carolina. He was a member of the Masonic order, the Eagles, and
held a $500 policy in the A.O.U.W. lodge. He also owned some land in Montana.
His homestead contained a half section of land, part of which was in crop, the
balance being used for pasturing his cattle - some ten in all - and his pony. Besides
his cattle he was feeding about 20 head of hogs.
Deceased was a man of excellent character, one of his most commendable traits
being his love of honesty. Sam NcNeil paid cash and took the discount. His
personalities were strong, his likes and dislikes keenly cut and of sophistry he knew
naught. He feared God, loved his friends, pitied his enemies, and his everyday life
was an exemplification of all three.
The remains were prepared for burial by Undertaker A. A. Simmer and shipped to
Pembroke, S.C., in charge of Attorney H. A. Mackoff.
A mother and several brother and sisters survive him, his father having died last
September. - Belfield Times

Joseiah R. Delany was born in Manlius, New York on Nov. 24th, 1846. While yet
a child, the parents immigrated to Wisconsin where the baby grew to young
manhood. It was while living there that at about the age of fifteen years he with his
brother, W. H. gave their hearts to God and affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal
church of which he was a member at the time of his demise. In 1870 Mr. Delany
moved to Stackyville, Iowa, where soon after he met Miss Jennie Gordon who
became his wife November 17th, 1875. Two sons were born to this union in Iowa,
Herbert and George. The family after some years moved to Minnesota, remaining
there about two years, and in 1881 removed to White, South Dakota. There, another
son, Dale was born to the parents. In 1906 the family once more moved and this time
to North Dakota where a home was made on a quarter section about ten miles north
east of Beach. While living here Mr. Delany was bereaved in the loss of his wife,
who died in March 1912. After Mrs. Delany’s death Mr. Delany made his home with
his sons, two of whom had homes of their own. In the spring of 1914 the whole
Delany contingent immigrated to Wrightville, Sask., Can., where they all took up
homesteads. It was while living there about three weeks before death, Mr. Delany
took a severe cold which turned into bronchial pneumonia, causing his death
September 29, 1915. The body was taken to Beach, North Dakota attended by
Herbert and George and interment was made in the Beach cemetery where Mrs.
Delany lies buried. The funeral services were in charge of the Masonic Lodge of

Horrible Accident Causes Death
- - - - -
Chester Serviss, aged about 22 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Serviss of the Lindsay
country, died at the General hospital on Monday from the effects of injuries received
last Friday while operating an engine which was running a threshing machine on the
farm of Charles F. Rainey. Funeral services were held at the Congregational church
and conducted by Rev. W. L. Meinzer, yesterday afternoon and the body was interred
in the Glendive cemetery.
The accident which caused the death of the young man was a terrible one.
Serviss, who was a dentist by profession, had been in the east during last winter
completing his studies, and came back to Montana last spring to work throughout the
summer. He had been running the threshing engine for some time. Immediately
before the accident occurred, and while the engine was running, he climbed to the top
of the big machine in order to pour some water in a tank, or reservoir, which it is
understood is used for cooling purposes. While doing so his foot slipped and he was
thrown into the driving wheel which whirled his body around, crushed and mangled
his right arm and left leg and otherwise injured his body in a frightful manner.
Elmer Myers, who was working with Serviss, stopped the engine as quickly as
possible, but was unable to get the injured man out of the wheel. He was finally
gotten out by three or four men who were working with the threshing machine, and
was rushed to Glendive.
The mangled arm was amputated and it was feared if his leg was removed that he
would be unable to withstand the shock. Gangrene set in however, and all efforts to
save his life were unavailing.
The young man was married about one year ago to a Miss Mabon, who was
teaching school in the Lindsay country, and who has a homestead near Jordan, where
she was staying when the accident occurred. Following the amputation of his arm,
the injured man wrote a letter to his wife and she arrived in the city shortly before he
died.
The family is well known in the Lindsay neighborhood, and the young man was
popular with all who knew him. The awful accident and his untimely death were a
shock to the community. - Dawson County Review

Butte, Mont., Oct 14 -
Falling thirty feet over the perpendicular wall of the slag dump at the East Butte
smelter, Ed Zachman, aged 19 years, son of Joseph Zachman, shift boss, met a
terrible death at midnight in a river of melted rock which had been carried from the
furnaces.
The father looked down from the wall above and saw the body of his son while in
the flames of moulton slag. Without a chance to rescue but with self-sacrificing
bravery, the elder Zachman made his way to a place close enough to the body so that
he could fish it out of the blazing mass with iron hooks.
When he recovered the remains there was little more than a charred skeleton.

very active officer, and was among its most consecrated members.
A beautiful floral cross is a gift of the members of the Congregational society in
token of his large and active interests in the affairs of the church.
Mr. Jordan’s illness was of comparative short duration. Some three weeks ago he
was taken with what was thought to be a minor stomach trouble. However the
suffering grew acute and he was taken to Dickinson Hospital where an operation
revealed that he had an abscess of the stomach and it was deemed that his recovery
was of great doubt.
He died Tuesday morning, Nov 9, at about 5:30, Mrs. Jordan attending him.
The funeral services will be held at the Congregational church this afternoon at
2:00 o’clock. Rev. Keniston will conduct the service, after which all that is mortal of

Mr. & Mrs. A. J. Beier Mourn Death Of Little Son

The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Beier passed away at a Bismarck hospital last week.
The little son was taken ill three weeks ago and the anxious parents brought him to
Beach to consult a physician. The mother and child remained in Beach where the
little one received treatment for a short time, until the local physical deemed it
advisable for the child to be taken to Dickinson to be treated by a specialist.
Not receiving any benefit at Dickinson they went to Bismarck for further advice
from Bismarck doctors. But all the care was of no avail.
Little Walter was born April 25th, 1915 and died Nov. 20, 1915.
The funeral services were held at the home Monday, Nov. 22, interment taking
place in the Beach cemetery. Rev. Burns preached the funeral sermon using this
comforting text. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
The little life was short but God in his infinite goodness and wisdom gave him to
the parents and little brother Arthur to brighten their lives for a time and we may all
rest assured that the mission that God gave little Walter in this world was fulfilled
before He called him unto Himself. To that home where there is no sickness, sorrow
or death. The entire community sympathize deeply with the family whose home has

claimed at that time their little twins, a boy and a girl.

Wife Of A Rice Lake Farmer Is Burned To Death

Minot, Dec. 9 -
A terrible accident occurred near Rice Lake Wednesday afternoon when Mrs.
Stephen Pitts, wife of a well knows farmer, suffered burns from which she died
within a few hours. Mr. Pitts was brought to Minot within a short time after the
accident, passing away at St. Joseph’s hospital.
Mr. Pitts has been ill in St. Joseph’s hospital in this city for several weeks, Mrs.
Pitts being left with the four children to look after the farm. A baking powder can
containing about six ounces of kerosene had been left on the warming oven and Mrs.
Pitts, in attempting to get something from the top of the oven knocked the can over
onto the hot stove. The kerosene exploded instantaneously, the flames being thrown
all abut (sic) the frantic woman. Her clothing was nearly all burned from her body.
The hired man, C. A. Jorgenson, managed to put out the fire, but in doing so, his
hands were painfully burned.
Neighbors were notified and a doctor was summoned from Minot. The woman
was taken from her home to Drady in a sleigh by Julius Hanson and Mr. Hillesland
and from there was brought to the city in an auto. When the sleigh arrived at Drady
Mrs. Pitts was more dead than alive. She suffered terribly but her agony and her pain
was partially relieved by opiates.
The remains will probably be sent to her old home in the east for burial. Relatives
were notified last night by wire.
Mrs. Pitts was 35 years of age. She had lived in Ward county several years and
had endeared herself to many. The husband and children have the sincere sympathy

Mrs. Gideon Pond Was Widow of One of First Two White Men
- - - - -
Mrs. Gideon H. Pond, widow of Gideon H. Pond, who was missionary to the Sioux
Indians and one of the first two white residents of the present site of Minneapolis, is
dead on the old Pond homestead at Bloomington. She was one of the first white
women who came to the site of Minneapolis and her death removes one of the best
known women pioneers of the state.
Mrs. Pond was 90 years old. She was born at Greenfield, Ohio, in the year 1825,
and came to Minneapolis in 1843 with her first husband, Robert Hopkins, to do
missionary work for the Presbyterian church. With her husband she came up the
Mississippi river by boat and went to Lac Qui Parle. As a resident at Lac Qui Parle in
the next two years she saw much of the Indian warfare of the early days and had
many exciting adventures. Mrs. Hopkins taught a class of Indian girls.
Mrs. Pond’s first visit to the site of the present Minneapolis was in 1843. In
writing of this visit for “Old Rail Fence Corners,: the book of pioneer sketches
published by the Daughters of the American Revolution, Mrs. Pond said:
“There was only a little mill there with a hut for the soldiers who guarded it. The
falls were wonderful. I thought I had never seen anything more beautiful. The spray
caught the sun and the prismatic colors added to the scene. The roaring could be
heard a long way off.”
Mrs. Pond is survived by two children by her first marriage, and six children by
her second marriage. The funeral will take place Monday at 2 p.m. from the
Presbyterian church established by her husband at Bloomington.

Rugby, N.D., Dec. 21 -
Peter C. Jorstad, who had been a resident of Pierce country for about 25 years, was
found dead at his farm home two miles south of Baxton. Death was evidently caused
by coal gas and there was nothing to suggest foul play or sickness other than that
caused by the gas which suffocated the aged man. When found he had evidently been
dead about twenty-four hours.
For several years he had made his home at Hillsboro and during the winter of 1882
Mrs. Jorstad died while the family was still living in the Red River valley. Shortly
afterwards Mr. Jorstad removed to McHenry county, where he lived ten years before
moving to the farm where he has since made his home. There were no children.
His brother, C. A. Ulland, of Mayville, was here to look after the affairs of the
deceased and O. A. Ulland, son of C. A., has been appointed administrator of the
estate and spent several days here last week in that capacity.

strength to throw off. His condition was not considered dangerous Sunday afternoon,

Little Margaret Crowford (sic) Dead
- - - - -
Never has the Republican been called upon to chronicle a death more sad than that
of Margaret Crawford, fourteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Crawford,
which occurred on Tuesday evening of this week at St. Joseph’s hospital in
Dickinson. The little girl was taken sick last Friday evening with an attack of
appendicitis, which by Monday became so severe that it was decided to take her to
the hospital for an immediate operation. The operation was performed Monday
evening but the appendix had burst and the doctors entertained but little home for her
recovery. On Tuesday evening, just about twenty-four hours after the operation, she
passed peacefully away.
Margaret was everybody’s friend, she was a girl of unusually sunny and even
disposition, a favorite at school, always at the head of her classes, and a girl whom
everybody loved. That she should be taken thus in the flower of her girlhood brings a
grief well nigh unbearable to her parents and two brothers and little sister, and settles
a pall of gloom over the entire community.
Sympathy to the bereaved family for a loss such as this is beyond our power to
express and yet we know that the hearts of all go out to them in their irreparable loss
and that all feel a sympathy greater than can be told in words.
The body was brought from Dickinson on Wednesday and the funeral held at the
Congregational church Thursday forenoon. Rev. John Orchard preached the funeral
sermon and the body was laid to rest in the cemetery east of town. Many beautiful
floral offerings decorated the casket and the church and there was especially large
attendance at the funeral despite the cold weather. - Sentinel Butte Republican
