Mrs. Harry Cobleigh of Carlyle,
Passes Away After a Short Illness
- - - - -
The Advance is this week
called ed upon to chronicle a particularly sad event in the death of Mrs.
Harry Cobleigh of Carlyle, which took place at the Beach hospital, Thursday
morning, January 6, at 7:55 o'clock.
On Monday, December 27, Mrs.
Cobleigh gave birth to a fine baby girl, but a few days latter was attached
by Peritonitis. She was at once brought to the hospital at Beach and
everything done known to medical science to save life, but all proved
useless and yesterday morning she passed to that great unknown from which no
traveler returns. The anxious husband and relatives who sat tireless at her
bedside, hoping almost against hope, have indeed the sympathy of the
community.
Mr. Cobleigh came to the Golden Valley three years ago this
fall and took a claim about five miles north of Carlyle, his wife joining
him a years later. During her stay here she taught two terms at the Burke
school house in the Lame Steer district and by her many acts of kindness and
thoughtfulness of others had won for herself a place in the hearts of her
neighbors and acquaintances seldom occupied in so short a time. She was a
member of the Catholic church and was ever ready to assist in any movement
for the up building of the community or to help a neighbor. Truly the world
is better for her having lived and her untimely death will cause many to
mourn.
She leaves besides her husband and daughter, a mother. Mrs. C.
Murray of Hammond, Minn., came to Beach who Tuesday and was with her
daughter at death, three brothers and six sisters, only one of whom are
located in this part of the country, Mrs. H. C. Larsen of the Lame Steer
district. To these sorrowing relatives is extended heartfelt sympathy.
Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 10:30 from the Catholic
church in this city and interment will be made in the Beach cemetery.

Account of the Marriage of
Theodore Schweitzer and Miss Nelson in the Home Paper
- - - - -
The
Blue Earth County Enterprise, published at Mapleton, Minn., gives the
following account of the wedding of two young people now located at Beach,
says:
'At the spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. John Schweitzer, our genial
druggist, on Wednesday afternoon last, occurred the marriage of their son,
Theodore, and Miss Clara Nelson, of Lemon South Dakota. It was strictly a
home wedding, the guests being limited almost entirely to the immediate
relatives of the contracting parties. It was, however, a very pretty
wedding. The parlors were tastily decorated with roses and smilax while in
the dining room the color scheme was green and white.
At three o'clock
while Mrs. Ed Ulrich, a sister of the groom, played the wedding march, Mr.
Schweitzer accompanied by Mr. James Cody, of Northfield Minnesota, took
their places under the festoons of roses and smilax where they met the bride
and her maid, Miss Leona Bond, also of Lemon, South Dakota. The ladies were
preceded by little Louise Schweitzer, a niece of the groom, who carried the
ring concealed in the heart of a beautiful white rose. Father Stack, pastor
of the local Catholic church, assisted the young couple in plighting their
vows and spoke the impressive and solemn words which proclaimed them mad and
wife, after which the guests extended them sincere and hearty
congratulations. Following the ceremony a most bountiful and delicious four
course dinner was served. The bride was dressed in a beautiful creation of
white satin mescaline with pearl and gold trimmings and carried a bouquet of
pink La France roses. Her maid of honor wore a gown of light blue silk with
Persian trimmings and carried a bouquet of white carnations.
While Miss
Nelson is a stranger in this vicinity, she is of very pleasing appearance
and during her short stay here can count all those she met among her
friends. She has been the competent and efficient bookkeeper and
stenographer in the First National bank at Lemmon, South Dakota, which
position she has just resigned. That she is a young woman of thrift and push
is evident from the fact that she went to Dakota and acquired on of that
fair state's claims. The four young people, she and her husband, Miss Bond
and Mr. Cody, all having claims in the same vicinity.
Theodore Schweitzer
is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schweitzer, a young man of excellent
business judgment and who has been very successful in his business pursuits.
At the present time he hold a responsible position in a large mercantile
establishment at Beach, North Dakota, where he and his bride will make their
future home.

Several Marriages of Young People of
Beach and Vicinity Recently
- - - - -
Francis James O'Rourke and Miss
Bessie Gullickson rather fooled their many Beach friends in regard to the
time when they would be married. For some time past circumstances pointed to
the near approach of the time, but on each occasion their friends were
doomed to disappointment.
However, the interested parties finally took a
hand at selecting the time and last week Wednesday quietly slipped down to
Belfield, where they were married by Rev. K. Heilmier of the Catholic church
of this city. After the ceremony they left immediately for points in
Wisconsin, where they are now visiting.
Mr. O'Rourke came to the Golden
Valley about four years ago and took a claim northwest of town, where he has
since lived. He is a progressive, enterprising young man, enjoys a splendid
reputation for honesty and industry and has made a success of his operations
since coming here. Miss Gullickson operated a millinery establishment on
Blanche street in this city for some time after coming here, but also took a
claim a few miles northeast of Wibaux, which she has operated quite
extensively. She is a lady of many accomplishments, enterprising and
progressive and will be a helpmate indeed during the voyage of life.
Congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life are extended by
their host of friends in the Golden Valley.
They will be home to friends
after February 20.

The Father of J. R. Waters, Our
Respected Townsman, Called Suddenly by Death
- - - - -
George A.
Waters, one of the well known citizens of this community, died Sunday
morning. Death came quickly. He had been in ill health for some time past
and on Sunday morning he arose at the usual hour and proceeded to look after
little duties around the house. He was stricken suddenly and passed away
before help could be summoned.
The funeral service was held from the
house this afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. Cleaver and was
attended by the G.A.R. post and the I.O.O.F. lodge of which orders he was a
member, as well as by a large number of old neighbors and friends.
The
subject of this sketch, Mr. George A. Waters, was born at Ashtabula, Ohio,
June 13, 1837, and died at him home in Montezuma, Sunday morning, April 3,
1910
. Mr. Waters was the last of four brothers and sisters, the
others having preceded him by several years. He spent his young manhood in
Ohio, where he married Miss Ellen Davidson. To this union two children were
born, James R. of Beach, N.D., and Minnie B. Stone of this place. In 1871 he
left his native state and settled on a farm near Montezuma, where he had
lived till growing infirmities made it wise to dispose of his farm and
settle in Montezuma.
He was one of the 'Boys in Blue,' being enrolled in
Company H, 171st Ohio.
His end was peaceful and painless, at sunrise his
soul took its flight. His departure is mourned by his companion of many
years, a son and daughter, and a host of sorrowing friends who will miss his
cheerful greeting and hearty handshake. - Poweshiek County (Ia.) Palladium

Mrs. John Beach died Tuesday evening, May 10,
at 6 o'clock, after a short illness. She was born at Liberty Mills, Ind., in

portion of her life was spent at Nappanee, Ind., from which city she,
together with her husband and aged parents came to beach, arriving here a
few weeks ago, and about ten days ago taking up their residence on the J. A.
Taggart farm in the Lame Steer district, southwest of town. She leaves to

A Healthy Black Haired Baby
- - - - -
Left to the Tender
Care of a Bachelor - No Trace of Who Are its Parents
- - - - -
Last
Monday morning about 4 o'clock Agaard Carlson, a bachelor who lives some
fourteen miles northeast of Beach, heard his dog making considerable noise,
but dropped off to sleep and did not waken again until nearly 7 o'clock.
Immediately after getting up he was attached to the door by the cries of a
baby and upon investigation found a nice black haired baby girl on his
doorstep, without other raiment than the shawl or blanket in which it was
wrapped up. He lost no time in procuring the assistance of a lady of the
neighborhood, who gave it every attention.
It is the opinion of those who
saw it that the little Miss was not over twenty-four hours of age when
discovered by Mr. Carlson: Mr. and Mrs. George Richardson heard of the
affair and went out to Carlson's and took the baby home with the intention
of adopting it as their own. It will be remembered that Mr. and Mrs.
Richardson lost their only child, a little girl, not long ago and the vacant
place in their home they hope to fill by this little one. The baby is strong
and healthy in appearance and is reported to be doing nicely.
So far as
can be learned no trace of the inhuman parents has been found.

The many friends of
George Sweet, both at Carlyle and Beach, were pained and surprised Sunday to
learn of his sudden and unexpected death, which took place about 11 o'clock
on Saturday night, June 11 caused by spasmodic spasm of the heart.
For
several days Mr. Sweet had not been feeling just right, but had kept up most
of the time and Friday and Saturday went upon several errands among his
neighbors and to the Carlyle store. In the early evening he told his wife
that he was not feeling as well as usual and went to bed. She done what she
could with the means at her command to make him comfortable and in a short
time he went to sleep. About 11 o'clock he made a peculiar noise, raised his
hands and expired without saying a word or regaining consciousness. George
Sweet was born in Medina county, Ohio, December 12, 1845, and was therefore
65 years and six months of age at time of death. He was among the first to
offer his services to his country when President Lincoln called for
volunteers and entered the army service in November, 1861, as a private of
Company B, 11th Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers and was discharged on the
31st day of March, 1867, as private of Company M, 3rd Regiment of U.S.
Artillery, by reason of expiration of term of service.
He was married in
February, 1873, to Miss Ella Dudley, at Ellington, Conn., who survives him.
In 1881 he moved to Illinois and resided there until three years ago, when
he moved to Carlyle, Mont., where he took a claim and has since lived. He is
also survived by two sons, Charles of Colfax, Ill., and Clifford of Carlyle,
and two daughters, Mrs. William Abrams and Mrs. Hurt, also of Carlyle. He
also has three brothers and one sister living in Connecticut. His death was
especially sad as this is the second death in the family within four months.
Funeral services were held at the home yesterday morning, interment being
made in the cemetery at Beach. Pall bearers were Messrs. Slater, Dilly,
Hall, Carlock, Moore and Merritt, all neighbors.
Mrs. Sweet was a man who
was much admired and greatly respected by all who knew him. His cheerful
manner, honesty of purpose and readiness to lend a helping hand made him a
warm, personal friend to a large number in his community and his untimely
death is sincerely regretted. It can truly be said of Mr. Sweet that the
world is better for his having lived. The community extends sincere sympathy
to Mrs. Sweet and the family in their deep sorrow.

Mrs. W. E. Kugel Went Into the
Last, Long Sleep Wednesday Morning
- - - - -
The Advance is called
upon this week to chronicle a particulary sad death, that of Mrs. W. E.
Kugel, which took place Wednesday morning at 6:35, of typhoid fever.
Miss
Elizabeth Kaminietz was married to W. E. Kugel on March 9 last, at Napolean,
N.D., and came to Beach only four short months ago a bride. The panorama of
the future looked bright and with cheerful hearts and willing hands these
young people started to prepare for the time when a competency should have
been layed away as a result of faithful labor and prudent expenditure and
home and each others company would be their joy in declining years. But it
was not to be. Five weeks ago last Sunday she was forced to take to her bed,
suffering from typhoid fever and although everything human skill could
suggest was done to battle with the disease, yet it proved unavailing and
death claimed her Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Kugel was 22 years of age at
time of death and her untimely taking away is doubly sad. The bereaved
husband has been called upon to bury both his father and mother and now, on
the very threshold of his wedded life, he places the mortal remains of his
wife beside the final resting place of his parents. Mrs. Kugel was one of
seven children and her death is the first in the family. During the latter
part of her illness her mother was a constant attendant at her bedside and
was with her when the final summons came. The surviving relatives have the
sincere sympathy of the people of this community in their heavy and sad
bereavement. The body was shipped to Napolean for interment.
Since coming
to Beach Mr. Kugel has occupied a position in J. J. Bartley's general store
and he and his wife made their home with them. May her ashes rest in peace.

J. W. Now Died Monday, July
4, After an Illiness of Several Months
- - - - -
While not unexpected,
yet the news that J. W. Snow had died at his farm north of town, Monday,
July 4, at about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, was a shock to his many friends
in this part of the country.
Mr. Snow came to Beach something like two
years ago from Lacrosse, Wis., and purchased the Doyle farm north of town. A
short time afterwards he brought him family here and occupied the place, but
much of his time was devoted to his profession as a veterinary surgeon
H
was a promoter and a tireless worker for the organization of the Interstate
Fair Association of Billings County and was much interested in its success.
He was a thorough believer in the future of this country and did everything
in his power to advance the interest of the community in which he lived and
of Beach. For some time after coming her he improved in health, but he
worked hard at his profession and last fall was obliged to go east to secure
rest and look after some business matters. While absent he suffered two very
severe attacks of sickness and had failed a great deal before he returned.
Even after it was impossible for him to longer make the trip to town he
would insist on going about the farm, to the barn and was continually
looking after something. He made a most heroic fight for life and the end
was indeed a relief from suffering.
His remains were taken to Onalaska,
Wis., for interment and were accompanied by relatives. He was 73 years of
age at the time of death and is survived by his wife and several children,
two sons and a daughter living near his farm.
Mr. Snow was a man among
men and his man acquaintances in the Golden Valley as well as in Wisconsin
will indeed mourn with his bereaved wife and children for the loss of a
husband, father and a friend.

Killed by Stock Train
- - - - -
Body Carried Four Miles
Before Train Crew Learn of Accident
- - - - -
L. W. Berge met a sudden
and violent death yesterday about noon at Sentinel Butte. He was expecting
his son with a car load of cattle and had gone down to the depot to
ascertain if something definite could be learned about it. He attempted to
cross the tracks at the depot and was struck by a stock train going east. It
is reported that the train was going at the rate of about forty miles an
hour. The pilot of the engine struck him and he was thrown into the air
several feet, coming down in such a way as to land on the pilot close up to
the boiler. In this position he was carried to the next station, where the
train went on to the siding for the through passenger. It was at this time
that some one of the crew found the body and it was their first knowledge of
the fact that they had killed someone. A livery rig from Sentinel Butte
brought the remains back home.
In the way he attempted to cross the track
his view of an approaching train from the west would be obstructed and
whether or not he was aware of this fact will never be known. However, when
some distance from the tracks he started to run and as he approached the
danger a warning was shouted to him by Eddie Gilbert, but he evidently did
not hear it and the extra haste cost him his life
The death is
particularly sad. Mr. and Mrs. Berge came to Sentinel Butte from Black River
Falls, Wis., where he was a respected citizen, only a few weeks ago, for the
purpose of visiting their daughter, Mrs. Albert F. Bailey. They like the
country very much and had decided to make Sentinel Butte their home. To this
end he had purchased a lot and had dug the cellar over which their future
home was to be erected.
He has many acquaintances here among the people
of Wisconsin, all of whom speak of him as an upright man and a good citizen.
He was also an old veteran. A wife, daughter and two sons survive him.

The Advance is pleased to publish the following article taken from the
Chetek, (Wisconsin) Alert, dated Aug. 19:
'On Wednesday the seventeenth
of August at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ziesenis occurred the marriage of
their daughter Iva to Dr. H. Benjamin Museus of Beach N.D.
The house was
prettily decorated with ferns and white roses and at high noon, under an
arch of ferns from which hung roses, the ceremony took place. The bride was
attended by her sister Miss Hazel Ziesenis and Rev. J. W. Irish of Chippewa
Falls read the service in the presence of only immediate relatives. At half
after twelve the wedding breakfast was served. Above the table hung a bell
of roses from which streamers of white satin ribbon were stretched to join
the roses and the hand-decorated place cards at the guests places.
The
bride was attired in a gown of white imported Swiss embroidery trimmed in
Irish hand-lace and carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. Miss Hazel
Ziesenis as maid of honor wore green voile and carried bridesmaid roses.
Dr. and Mrs. Museus left in the afternoon for St. Paul where they will spend
a few days and from their will go to Beach, N.D. where they will be at home
after the fifteenth of October. Mrs. Museus wore a gown of green shantung
silk and a traveling coat of natural color rahjah trimmed with green with
hat to match.
The bride is a popular young lady of Chetek and a student
of both Hamline and Minnesota universities, in the meanwhile developing her
artistic talents at St. Agathas' Conservatory. Her china is almost entirely
of her own decoration.
While she will be missed in the social circle of

A Cold Blooded Murder
- - - - -
A cold blooded murder
occurred at Wibaux last Saturday. A cowboy came to town and hired a saddle
horse from on of the liverymen. About noon he tied the animal to a post
after riding him all morning. The liveryman thinking he was probably through
with the horse sent a boy, who was working in the barn after him, with
instructions that he put him in the barn, and give him feed and water. The
cowboy saw the lad when he was taking the horse to the barn, and immediately
followed him to the stable, where he entered by the door and shot the boy
dead on the spot, without any provocation whatever.
A blacksmith who was
there tried to arrest him, but was driven back with a six-shooter. He then
took the horse and started to make his getaway. The arm of justice was too
fast for him, however, and just as he was leaving the deputy sheriff
appeared on the scene. He succeeded in arresting the fellow after several
short had been exchanged between them. The fellow fell off the horse
claiming to be shot, but no wound could be found.
The citizens were for
lynching him, but while talking it over the sheriff got his prisoner out of
town.

Discouraged Over
Financial Troubles Chas. Voller Ends His Life With Strychnine
- - - - -
Wednesday morning the citizens of Beach were surprised to hear that Chas.
Voller had committed suicide in his slaughter house west of the city. In the
morning he arose and had his breakfast as usual, after which he attended to
his meat market until about 10:00 o'clock when he hitched up his horse and
started up town. He went into tone of the local drug stores and purchased a
half ounce of strychnine. As he was passing the City Bakery he stopped and
bought three bottle of pop. The clerk told him that it was not necessary to
pay for the bottles if he would return them when empty. He seemed anxious to
pay for them, however, saying that he might forget the bottles when he
returned. About 11:00 o'clock people who live in the vicinity of his
slaughter house heard his agonizing cries for help and saw him run in the
direction of his wagon. John Anderson was the first to arrive, and as he
picked Mr. Voller from the ground, where he had fallen, he died in his arms.
Not knowing the cause of the trouble. Mr. Anderson, hurried the body to the
office of Dr. Stough, but nothing could be done to bring back the life that
had flown.
Deceased came to Beach with his family from Bowbells, N.D.,
about a year ago and started in the butcher business. Since that time he has
apparently enjoyed a satisfactory business from all outward appearances.
Nevertheless, he worried considerably over his financial affairs, and, it is
thought, that is what deranged his mind.
During his life Mr. Voller was
looked upon as an honest and upright man, a kind neighbor, and in all, a
very desirable citizen.
Besides his wife, deceased leaves to mourn the
loss of a loving husband and kind father, three small girls, who have the
sympathy of all in their deep sorrow.

Mrs. Joseph Denoyer
Succumbs to a Hemorrhage Sunday Morning
- - - - -
A cloud of sorrow
enveloped the home of Mr. Joseph Denoyer Sunday morning about 2:15 o'clock,
when the Almighty God called to her heavenly home, the wife and mother, at
the early age of 32 years. For some time Mrs. Denoyer had been ailing, but
few thought but wheat she would rally from her sickness and regain her
former health. Such, however, was not to be. About 12:00 o'clock Saturday
night she was taken with a hemorrhage, and in a little more than two hours
life was extinct.
A year ago last February deceased moved to Beach, with
her husband and since that time, has endeared herself to many by her kind
and pleasant disposition. She was a devote member of the Roman Catholic
church, and never was the road too long or the night too dark, to go to the
relief of a wanting neighbor.
Much sympathy is extended to Mr. Denoyer at
this time. In the loss of his helpmate he is called upon to take the place
of both father and mother to three small boys, the two oldest being only
eleven years of age, and the youngest nine.
Besides her husband and three
children deceased leaves to mourn her loss an aged father and mother who at
present reside at Crosby, N.D.
The Advance extends its heart-felt
sympathy to Mr. Denoyer and his three sons, in this, their greatest
bereavement.

A Very petty wedding occurred
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Knox on Wednesday, when the daughter of
Mrs. Knox, Miss Leora Hutchins, was united by marriage to Rev. Alexander
Douglas, a minister of the Congregational church. The ceremony was performed
just at the noon hour by Rev. Chas. M. Good, pastor of the Beach
Congregational church. While Mr. Carl Bratton played the wedding march,
Lohengrin, the bride and groom marched to the altar. The bride was dressed
in cadet blue with trimmings of Persian lace and carried bride's roses. She
was attended by her cousin, Miss Mabelle Monet, who acted as bridesmaid and
was dressed in pink silk voile. Mr. Carl Bratton acted as best mad. After
the ceremony the whole company in attendance partook of the bounteous feast
usually associated with such happy occasions.
In the evening they took
the train for a visit in the east and on their return will probably take up
some pastorate in the eastern part of the state. Rev. Douglas is a graduate
of Auburn Seminary, Rochester, N.Y., and one of the pioneers of the Golden
Valley. He located on a claim east of Beach about seven years ago, when
there were but few people in the community, and it was thorough his efforts,
perhaps more than any one else, that the work of the church was successfully
started. Recently, he has been laboring along with line of the Milwaukee in
Hettinger county, making his home at Mott.
Miss Hutchins was one of the
most popular and virtuous young ladies in this city, and all who knew either
of them join in wishing them a long life, happiness and success in their
Christian work.

In the city of Elkhart, Ind.,
Thursday, August 11, 1910, occurred a very pretty marriage when C. L.
Winkleman, of Beach was joined in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Martha
Meyers of the former city. The ceremony took place in the Lutheran church,
the pastor, Rev. Dressler, officiating.
Mr. Winkleman is one of the most
learned and intelligent men in the Golden Valley. A few years ago he
homesteaded 160 acres about eleven miles from Beach. By leading an
economical life, he is today the proud possessor of 480 acres, which he has
mostly in crop. He is an honest and broad minded man and is held in high
esteem in his community.
The bride is a beautiful and charming young
woman. Last June on a visit to the home of Mr. Mast she chanced to meet Mr.
Winkleman; after this ties that bind stronger than friendship were knotted
around them. She will be a blessing to her new neighbors, for, as is her
way, she will devote her spare time to the good of the vicinity, whether it
be in the church or at social gatherings.
The friends of the bride in
Elkhart char varied the happy couple before they left there, and after
wishing them God's speed started them on their journey for North Dakota. On
arriving here they were again treated to a charivari by Mr. Winkleman's
friends. He thanked them and treated the ladies to candy while the men all

William H. Seeley Passed
Peacefully to Rest at Him Home Tuesday Afternoon
- - - - -
With much
regret The Advance chronicles this week the death of William H. Seeley,
which occurred at him home in Woodhull's addition, Tuesday afternoon at 1:00
o'clock, in the fiftieth year of his age.
For many ears deceased was a
resident of Melville, N.D., but learning of the possibilities in Beach
through his old friend and former partner in the contracting and building
business, A. W. Mason, came here last fall and worked for Mr. Mason through
the winter months. This spring he purchased ten acrtes of land from W. H.
Woodhull on which he erected a comfortable home for himself and family, and
moved here along in May. After they were comfortably settled, Mr. Seeley
started taking contracts for himself, and was just finishing a house of the
farm of John Johnston about eight miles south, when he was taken sick. In
less than a week the Great Reaper had summoned his spirit home.
Mr.
Seeley was a man who always enjoyed the respect of the community in which he
lived. He was a very zealous member and ardent worked in the Advent church,
and done much during his life to promote best interest of the faith.
One
of the particularly sad things in connection with Mr. Seeley's death is the
large family of small children he leaves - four girls and two boys - to the
care and guidance of the mother; the oldest not over fifteen years of age,
while the youngest in only an infant.
The services were held in the
Congregational church Thursday afternoon, an Advent minister from Belfield
officiating. The remains were interred in the Beach cemetery.

Plans For His Long Trip
- - - - -
Edward Kromrey Purchased
Ticket on the Strychnine-Pop Route to the World Beyond
- - - - -
Another sad death by suicide was brought to our notice last Monday noon when
it was reported that one Edward Kromrey, had succumbed to the effects of
strychnine. This time the victim was a lad of about nineteen summers who
became despondent over a love tragedy that had crept into his young life in
the city of Fall Creek, Wisc.
With his father, Edward came to Beachsome
few months ago, and for some time past has been employed by August Weideman
in the capacity of fireman on his threshing engine. He was a very faithful
employee and soon became a favorite with Mr. Weideman.
Although it was
known that the young man was grieving more or less over a slight dispute he
had with his sweetheart before leaving for North Dakota, no one imagined
that he preferred the grave rather than live without her, yet how weak are
our minds when we try to realize the agony the young man must have endured
that caused him to commit such a rash act. Monday morning he decided to end
it all. After getting shaved in one of the local barber shops he stepped
into a drug store and purchased some strychnine, with which he said he
intended to kill rats. He then wended his way to the cigar factory and
bought a bottle of pop. He paid for the bottle saying he would not return
it.
When dinner was ready at the Weideman home, where the young man was
boarding, the children were sent to the barn to call him, but on reaching
the automobile shed found him lying on the floor. Mr. Weideman was
immediately summoned, and discovered that life was not yet extinct, but
before the services of a physician could be procured, the spirit had flown
to the other shore, where it will be tried before that great tribunal in the
heavens above.
Before taking the deadly poison the young man made a will,
leaving his earthly belongs, a sleigh, cat, dog, etc., to the different
members of the family. In another note he stated the kind of flowers he
preferred to be placed on his casket, who the pall bearers should be, the
minister and they hymns he wanted sung. He wrote and mailed a letter to the
girl, and the following note to his parents was found in his pocket:
'Meet my body in a coffin at Fall Creek. Take my body and burn it to ashes
and throw the ashes away, so nobody can find them, for I am your hateful
son, Edward. Tell my brother not to worry for me. This is the way I wanted
to be. I have taken strychnine and pop.'
Besides his parents, the young
man had several brothers and sisters. One brother, John, lives about eight
miles north of Beach.
The remains were buried in the Beach cemetery
Wednesday, his father being present at the interment.

Succumbs To Burns
- - - - - - Clothes Catch on Fire From
Burning Cook Car - Lives About Twelve Hours
- - - - -
Last Friday
afternoon between the hours of 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock in some unaccountable
way, the cook car owned by P. A. Cook caught fire. In the car was Mrs. Cook
getting ready for supper, and noticing the blaze, apparently rushed out. She
must have forgotten some article she highly valued, for she immediately
entered the car again. By this time the flames were spurting out in every
direction, and when she re-appeared her clothes were on fire.
Assistance
was given at once, but before her clothing could be removed or the fire
extinguished, the body was horribly burned, and Saturday morning about 4:00
o'clock the soul departed in quest of its heavenly home. Deceased, whose
maiden name was Miss Aggie McCullough, was born in the province of New
Brunswick, Can., in the year 1862. Afterwards the family moved to the state
of Wisconsin, where Miss McCullough met Mr. Cook and finally married, about
twenty-one years ago.
Mr. Cook came to the Golden Valley last fall on a
trip and was so taken up with the rich soil an even climate, that he decided
to make this his future home. He returned to Beach again last spring and a
few weeks later Mrs. Cook started for North Dakota from Oshkosh, Wis., where
they had lived for some time. She arrived here along the first of July.
A
husband and two sons are left to mourn the untimely death of the dearest and
best friend they ever knew. Although practically strangers, the community
joins with The Advance in extending to Mr. Cook and his two boys, our
heartfelt sympathy.
The remains were taken to Oshkosh, Saturday, for
interment.

R. E. Ripley Forever
Separates Himself From the Order of Bachelors
- - - - -
Last Saturday
ye writer experienced a feeling of deep melancholy when he learned that R.
E. Ripley, one of the popular and influential bachelors of our city, had
joined hands with Miss Addie Newman of Big Timber, Montana, on Wednesday, at
12 o'clock noon, on the 5th day of October, 1910
. Not but that we
are pleased to know that the genial 'Rip' had found a helpmate to sweeten
and gladden his future days, but it is because we must now so often find his
chair vacant at our after dinner smokers that causes a sadness and lonesome
feeling to creep within our masculine frames.
The young couple were
married at the home of the bride's parents, the knot being tied by the
Congregational minister. After the ceremony a sumptuous wedding dinner was
served to the immediate members of the family. A honeymoon trip to Hunter's
Hot Springs was enjoyed, coming to Beach the first of the week, which will
be their home for the present.
Mr. Ripley is well and favorably known in
Beach, having been connected with the banking and loan business in the
valley for some time. The bride was a popular young society lady of Big
Timber and will be heartily welcomed to our city. They have taken rooms over
the First National Bank. The Advance joins with the many friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Ripley in wishing them a long life of happiness and prosperity.

An Exceptionally Sad Death
- - - - -
Clinton George Logan
Succumbed to an Attack of Infantile Paralysis Last Friday.
- - - - -
The citizens of Beach were shocked last Friday noon when it was reported
that Clinton George, a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Logan, had succumbed to an
attack of infantile paralysis at the home of his parents, in his
twenty-first year.
For some time the young man had not been in the best
of health, which he usually enjoyed, but as he did not complain his parents
thought it was a slight irregularity of the system that would soon right
itself. However, on the 29th day of September as he was fixing some goods
into place on a top shelf in his father's store, he accidentally fell off
the step ladder on which he was standing and, while being assisted to his
feet, it was found he was practically helpless. He was at once taken to him
home where every possible comfort was given. A doctor was summoned and
diagnosed the disease infantile paralysis.
Everything ws done to restore
his health, but God's will must be done and last Friday, October 7, about
noon, he entered into that long sleep from which the eyes only open on the
borders of paradise in the heavens above. Deceased was an exceptionally
bright and energetic young man, and during the past three years had been
closely connected with his father in business affairs. Honest in his
dealings with the public, it is needles to say that his character was held
in good repute by the citizens of Beach and his acquaintances throughout the
Golden Valley. He came here from Winona, Minn., the place of his birth,
three years ago.
Services were held Monday in the Congregational church,
Rev. Good officiating. The remains were shipped to Winona, Minn., for burial
in the family plot and were accompanied by the sorrow stricken parents and
their two youngest children, Lavain and Pernie.
The family has the
sincere sympathy of the entire community in their sudden bereavement.
John and Willie Logan of Winona, brothers of the deceased, were in
attendance at the funeral here and returned east with the body.

Jen H. Nichols Succumbs to the
Ravages of Typhoid Fever After Short Illness
- - - - -
The many
friends of Jen H. Nichols were pained and shocked Wednesday afternoon to
learn of his death, which took place at 11:15 that morning. Mr. Nichols was
born in the town of Irving, Jackson county, Wisconsin, January 29, 1863, and
was therefore forty-seven years of age at the time of death. He was married
about seventeen years ago to Miss Mary Russell of Melrose, Wis., and up to
the time of coming here, in September, 1907, lived in the town of Irving. On
coming here he purchased the south half of section 23, four miles east of
Beach, where he has since made his home. Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon from the Congregational church, Rev. Willis Bennett of the
Methodist church, preaching the sermon.
Since coming to the Golden Valley
Mr. Nichols, by his sterling qualities and genial, good nature, has made
many friends who sincerely mourn his untimely demise. He was an untiring
worker and was fast accumulating a competency for himself and family. His
reputation has been above reproach in whatever community he has lived, and
Beach and vicinity lose a good citizen in his untimely taking away.
His
wife and two girls survive him, and to them is extended the sincere sympathy
of the community.

Local Drayman Met Horrible Death

Buried Under a
Load of Settler's Goods Young Man Lives Only Thirty Minutes - Head Pinned to
Ground With A Stove - Settler Escapes Unhurt - - - - -
As we go to press
word reaches our office of the death of Bert Brost, a young man who came to
Beach last August from Cumberland, Wis., and entered the employ of E. B.
Sutton as a drayman.
He was hauling a load of settler's good from this
city to a farm south of Williams. They had almost reached their destination
when just as they were going around a small hill the front wheel dropped
into a chuck hole, throwing the furniture and driver to the ground. The
settler immediately cleared away the furniture, but when he got to Brost he
found that the stove had fallen on his head, badly crushing the skull. A
doctor was immediately sent for, but long before he arrive life had been
extinct. In an unconscious state, the young man lived about half and hour.
Miss Hazel Brost, a sister living at Clam Falls, Wis., was notified of his
death, but as yet an answer has not been received. Deceased was only in his
twenty-first year, and a boy, who, as far as we know always led an honorable
life. Mr. Sutton says he was one of the best men he had.

everything a mother could to save her children, Dudley, the

slightly burned, but not seriously.
Mr. Dudley suffered a heavy loss
financially. Besides the house which was valued at $1200, he lost $2500
worth of grain, all his furniture, clothing, bedding, and a very extensive
