A. O. Hegseth Answers Call Of Death
- - - - -
A
feeling of sadness crept over our city Tuesday morning January 4, when
the news was announced that Andrew O. Hegseth one of our loved and
respected citizens had passed from this life.
Andrew O. Hegseth was
born in Norway. The beautiful land of the Midnight Sun on the tenth of
April 1847.
He grew to manhood in Norway and when twenty years of age
he came to the United States and located near Red Wing, Goodhue county,
Minnesota in 1867. Ten years later in 1877 he was united in marriage to
the faithful companion who still lives to mourn the loss of a kind and
loving husband.
He lived in Goodhue county forty-one years when he
with his family decided to try their fortunes in this western country
locating a short distance north of Sentinel Butte in 1808 (sic) where he
has since resided.
Some months ago he was quite ill but he recovered
and was quite well until a few weeks ago when he suffered another attack
becoming so seriously ill that it was thot (sic) advisable to take him
to Dickinson for further examination and consultation. The physicians at
Dickinson decided that an operation should be performed which was done.
He rallied from the effects of the operation but it was soon apparent to
those around his bedside that his life in this world was nearing its
close. The children who were not present were immediately notified, also
his pastor, Rev. H. J. Thorpe of this city who went to Dickinson on the
first train where he talked together with this member of his church.
Mr. Hegseth's mind was clear almost all of the time. He requested his
pastor to sing which he did. Mr. Hegseth joining to sing which he did.
Mr. Hegseth joining him in the good old hymn Nearer My God To Thee
singing one stanza Monday afternoon.
He also quoted this passage of a
kind and loving husband and father. The funeral services were conducted
in the Norwegian Lutheran church of this city Rev. Thorpe speaking words
of consolation and glorious hopes taken from that book of books that had
been a guide to the life of the departed one.

Thos. F. Roche Died At Rochester
- - - - -
Thomas F. Roche, prominent real estate dealer of Minot, died at
Rochester, Minn., Friday evening of pneumonia, following a brief illness
from that disease. Mr. Roche had gone to Rochester two weeks before,
expecting to submit to an operation for kidney trouble, but pneumonia
attacked him before the operation could be performed. Mrs. Roche was
summoned Friday and left for Rochester that afternoon, but Mr. Roche had
passed away before her arrival.
The remains were brought to Minot
Monday afternoon and the funeral was held from St. Leo's Catholic church
Tuesday morning, interment being made in this city.
"Tommy" Roche, as
he was familiarly known, was one of our very best citizens. His word was
as good as his bond. His home life was exceedingly pleasant. He made a
success of his business and was a model citizen in every way. Hundreds
of friends mourn his untimely departure and extend deepest sympathy to
the sorrowing wife and eight children.
Mr. Roche was 46 years of age
and had resided in Minot for ten years. He was connected with the Lyman
Land Co. for years and for the past two years has been associated in
this real estate business with C. R. Bierly. - Ward County Independent

Prayer For Death On Xmas Answered
- - - - -
Just as Grandson Is About to Be Married Here She Passes Away
- - - -
-
"Grandma" Ball's Long cherished wish to die on Christmas Day has
been answered.
As if in response to her fervent prayers that she
might pass away on the anniversary of the Christ child's birth, Mrs.
Amelia Ball, 78 years old died Saturday morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. H. J. Hulick of Orr.
Grandma always thought it would
be glorious to died when the bells and chimes of the churches rang out
on Christmas day. She had often told her family that she would like to
die that way.
And strikingly enough, just at the time when the spirit
of Christmas was at its best and people were humbly paying tribute to
Jesus, the last spark of life in the little old woman flickered out.
For the last 40 years she had been suffering from asthma, and a week's
illness from grip proved too much for the aged woman.
Mr. and Mrs. H.
J. Hulick of Orr were in this city Christmas morning to attend the
wedding of their son, Ralph Hulick, to Miss Jessie Dow of Grand Forks.
Grandma Dow passed away just one hour before the young people were
joined in marriage.
She was born in Germany, coming across the ocean
when but a girl of 13 and locating at Detroit, Minn. Ten years ago she
moved to Russell, N.D. where she lived until a year and a half ago, when
she went to Orr to live with her daughter, Mrs. Hulick.
The deceased
was the mother of 13 children, seven boys and eight girls, all of whom
are living except one daughter.
The body was taken to Russell
yesterday morning over the Soo, and services will be held in that
community from the German Lutheran church this afternoon. Mrs. Minnie
Ball, daughter-in-law of the deceased said last night in speaking of
Grandma Ball:
"She was a devoted Christian. Everyone loved her and
she will be keenly missed. It may not have been such a very merry
Christmas for some of us, but it surely was a happy and beautiful one
for grandma Ball." - Grand Forks Daily Herald.

One of Golden Valley's Pioneer Women Buried in Beach
Cemetery Thursday
- - - - -
The entire community was saddened
when on Wednesday morning the news was announced that Mrs. E. M. Runk
one of our pioneer settlers and a most devoted friend and neighbor had
passed from this life. Mrs. Runk had been in failing health for the past
five years. Three years ago she and Mr. Runk made a trip to Rochester,
Minn., where they consulted the Mayo's about her condition but it was
such that those celebrated physicians gave them very little
encouragement for a permanent recovery.
She returned to her home and
since that time has been under the care of her local physicians who have
done all that could be done to alleviate her suffering. Some of the time
she has been able to oversee her housework and to make occasional visits
at her friends homes, at other times been confined to her bed. Last
Sunday she became seriously ill resulting in death two days later. The
deceased was born in Illinois, Oct. 26, 1866 and removed with her
parents when a small child to the state of Kansas where she grew to
womanhood and was united in marriage to E. M. Runk, March 4,1883 and
came to the Golden Valley twelve years ago where she has since resided.
In the death of Mrs. Runk the neighborhood loses a woman who was ever
ready to help the cause of the Master as many can testify to, she having
in the early days driven miles to help organize our first Sunday schools
in some claim settler's shack, as the country grew she helped with the
same work in the school houses. The greatest tribute that can be given
to this life is that she ever had a heart full of sympathetic charity
for other people's faults and short comings. "Faith, hope, charity,
these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
The funeral was
held from the Methodist church Thursday afternoon, Rev. Kessinger of the
U. B. church officiating. The Methodist pastor being absent from the
city. He spoke many words of hope and consolation taken from the blessed
Book that had brightened the life of the departed one.
Mrs. Runk was
the mother of three children, one a little girl Lila, who died in
infancy. She is survived by her husband and two sons who mourn the loss
of a devoted wife and mother.

Two Fathers Died Upon Same Day
- - - - -
Mandan, N.D., Jan. 24 -
The fathers of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Stone of
Flasher died on the same day. This peculiar coincidence took from this
world two men who have been prominent in Morton county affairs in the
past, F. G. Russell who made his home a few miles east of Flasher, and
E. N. Stone of Iowa City, Iowa, until five years ago a prominent
resident of the Flasher vicinity. The latter is also the father of the
two Stone boys of near Flasher, who were killed by lightning last
summer.
Mr. Russell was 69 years of age and has been a resident of
the central part of the county for the past thirteen years coming here
from Missouri. The old gentleman passed away at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday,
death resulting from a disease which has kept him bedfast nearly all
winter. The deceased is survived by a wife and thirteen children, all of
whom live near Flasher.
The deceased established the post-office of
Gall about six years ago and also maintained a store there for several
months. The post office was later discontinued however.
Mr. Stone,
who was about sixty years of age, had lived in Morton county for several
years previous to going to Iowa to spend his declining years. Three of
the surviving children, Ed., Roy and Mrs. William Dopking, are well
known in Morton county. The boys live in the Flasher vicinity and Mrs.
Dopking lives at Bismarck, where her husband, who is parole officer for
the state penitentiary, has his headquarters.

Andrew
Massey of Indiana Was Veteran of the Mexican and Civil Wars
- - - - -
Connersville, Ind. -
The oldest man in Fayette county, Andrew Massey,
is dead at his home in Orange at the age of one hundred and seven years.
He was born in Everton, Fayette county in April, 1808, and spent his
entire life within a few miles of his birthplace. He farmed in a small
way and liked to be out of doors, even tending a little garden all by
himself after he passed the age of one hundred years.
It was not
generally known here that a man of such age was living, his home being
in the extreme southwest corner of the county. The records of his birth,
his own belief of his age, and the remembered testimony on the subject
of old men whom Massey outlived, causes the firm belief that he actually
lived to the age of one hundred and seven. Massey fought in the Mexican
War and in the Civil War.

Sparta Citizen Passed Away
- - - - -
No death
in recent years has caused so general and profound regret throughout
this vicinity as that of Mr. William C. Hoffman, who passed away
Thursday evening, Jan. 27, at St. Mary's hospital where he had a few
days previously undergone a surgical operation for hernia. He was,
however, recovering favorably from this and the immediate cause of his
death was apoplexy, of which he had a previous attack several months
ago.
Very largely attended funeral services were held at St.
Patrick's church Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock the service, a most
beautiful one, including the Requiem High Mass. Interment in the
Catholic cemetery.
The relatives from out of town who were in
attendance were Mr. and Mrs. John Fitzgerald, Three Forks, Mont.; John
Hoffman, Beach, N.D.; Senator James Handlan and wife and Miss Catherine
Handlan, St. Paul, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Millegan, Rainy River,
Ont., Canada; Fred Hoffman, San Jose, Cal.; Wm. Seymour and family,

Galena, Ill.; Mrs. John and James Murphy, Elroy, Wis.; Mr. Edwin
Krueger, Chilcao, Ill.; Mrs. Henry Seymour, Melvina; and Mrs. Ella
Druger, Melvina. Mr. Hoffman was for many years, a prominent and
esteemed member of Spartan Lodge No. 94, I.O.O.F. By invitation of Mrs.
Hoffman, the members assembled at their hall at 2:30 p.m. Sunday
afternoon, proceeding in a body to the residence and briefly viewing the
remains of their departed brother, whom they had so greatly loved and
who had exemplified in his whole life the best principles of their order
- Friendship, Love and Truth.
Mr. Hoffman was born in Chicago May 14,
1854. Soon afterwards his parents came to Monroe county, locating in the
town of Jefferson. He began early in life to make his own way and lay
the foundation for the successful business career which he later
enjoyed. At the age of 15 he came to Sparta and obtained employment in
the James Bubser butcher shop receiving $5 per month for his services
later his wages being raised to $15 a month. After three years
apprenticeship he returned to the home farm for a short time, but soon
returned to Sparta and worked on the various butcher shops, finally he
with the two others purchased the business of his first employer and the
style of the firm was Potter, Audiss and Hoffman. Later Mr. Hoffman
purchased Audiss' interest and the firm became Potter and Hoffman. Mr.
Hoffman then bought Potter's interest and took two of his brothers in
with him, the firm continuing thus until 1904 when he retired, selling
to his brother J. E. and a half interest to J. Holinbeck. Since his
retirement from the market the care of his various investments and
rental properties have kept him an active member of the community. He
was one of the directors of the Monroe County bank, was a member of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows and was identified with every movement
for the improvement and betterment of the city, though refusing to
accept any public office.
On January 28, 1878 he was married to Miss
Mary Fitzgerald, who survives him, together with four brothers and one
sister namely: John E. Hoffman, Geo. A. Hoffman, and Julius H. Hoffman
of Sparta; Fred W. Hoffman, San Jose, Cal.; and Mrs. Amelia Eckles,
Seattle, Wash.

Young Man Meets Tragic Death In Mine

Harry Kranic Smothered in Coal Mine Cave-in Near Burkey - Warning Came
To Late
- - - - -
One of the most shocking accidents in the
history of this section occurred last Monday near Burkey when Harry
Kranick lost his life with scarcely a moment's warning. It seems that
Mr. Kranick had driven to the John Denton mine for the purpose of
getting a load of coal. He walked into the mine and was warned by others
that it was unsafe to go in as the mine might cave. Just as he turned
back there was a big cave-in and Mr. Kranick was completely covered by
the debris and it is believed that he died in just a moment. When the
body was removed it was found that he had received quite severe bruises
of the skull and also in the face. The body was taken to this city and
prepared for burial at the Overstad & Hoverson undertaking parlors.
Burial takes place today (Friday) from the local Methodist church, Rev.
Hammer officiating.
Harry Kranick was born at Pelican Rapids, Minn.,
in October 1888. In 1903 he moved to the Golden Valley in company with
his father and one brother and two sisters, the mother having died
before the family moved here. On July 16, 1910 he was married to Maymee
White, who with a four year old son are left to mourn the loss of a kind
and faithful husband and father. Besides these the deceased is survived
by his father, one brother, Ralph Kranick, and two sisters, Mrs. Wm.
Zabel and Mrs. Sam Wise.
To all of these the entire community will
join us in extending deepest sympathy in their hour of sorrow.

at dinner, and a dancing party, using the Elks Hall to accommodate their

auditorium. The tables were loaded with delicacies and everything that
could be provided to complete a feast was served the diners who
complimented Mrs. Singer and her friends in preparing the elaborate
repast. As the trains ran late due to excessive snow and cold weather
the dinner was delayed until 9 o'clock when No's 2, 7 & 8 arrived
bringing numerous guests from neighboring cities.
Following the
dinner, the guests indulged in dancing to the music of a local orchestra

The sad news
reached this city last Friday evening of the death by drowning of Mrs.
Chris Mercer and two-year-old child on Cabin Creek, Montana. The
accident occurred on Tuesday evening of last week near the Lou Caldwell

Cabin Creek was usually high on account of the melting snows.
Mrs. Mercer and child had been visiting a neighbor and were riding home
in a wagon with Bill McMannum. After getting into the stream the horses
mired down in the mud and became frightened so that the driver could not
control them. The _nging of the horse caused the wagon to overturn and
the occupants were thrown into the water. Mr. McNannum became entangled
with the struggling horses and before he could free himself the woman
and baby had succumbed to the icy water.
Mrs. Mercer has relatives by
a-_tion near Carlyle and she resided with her husband on a homestead
near Cabin Creek. She also has relatives residing at Indianapolis, Ind.
The many friends of the family will extend sympathy to the heartbroken
husband and the two children who are left to mourn her untimely death.

Celebrate Silver Wedding Monday
- - - - -
Pleasant Surprise on Mr. and Mrs. Bartley Monday Evening
- - - - -
Last Monday was the twenty-fifty anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and
Mrs. J. J. Bartley of this city and appropriate ceremonies were carried
out at the Catholic church in the presence of a few invited relatives
and friends. A very splendid address was delivered by Father Wolpers and
appropriate music was rendered by the choir. Miss Eleanor Bartley
presided at the organ and Miss Elizabeth Bartley played the violin, both
of them being daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Bartley. After the
ceremonies at the church the company partook of a sumptuous wedding
breakfast at the Bartley home.
In the evening, however, the daughters
of the house sprung a big surprise on their parents. The young ladies
informed the "old folks" that they must go to the depot when No. 3 came
in as a couple of old friends of theirs were coming up from Dickinson.
When the train pulled in they found to their surprise that about a dozen
of their old friends from Dickinson alighted. Later in the evening about
thirty Beach friends also made their appearance at the Bartley home to
assist in properly celebrating the event. Needless to say, everyone
enjoyed the surprise to the fullest extent. The evening was whiled away
in a most pleasant manner. A four course dinner was served by the ladies
who arranged the party. Father Dignam, of Dickinson delivered an address
and Mrs. Dr. Nachtway of the same place sang several selections in a
most pleasing manner.
It is note worthy that among the guests who
came up from Dickinson there were eight who were present at the Bartley
wedding in that city twenty five years ago, a fact which made the
occasion doubly enjoyable for Mr. and Mrs. Bartley. The Dickinson guests
included Father Dignam, Mrs. Catherine Ray, Mrs. Flynn, Mrs. Frank Lish,
Mrs. Cuskely, Mrs. Dr. Stickney, Mrs. Dr. Nachtway, Mrs. McGinley, Mrs.
Wm. Kennedy, Mrs. J. B. Malone and Mrs. Batt Connell. Besides these
Father Wolpers and about thirty other friends, of this city, were
present.
Mr. and Mrs. Bartley were Dickinson residents for many
years, during which time Mr. Bartley was an employee of the Northern
Pacific Railway, having worked in various capacities from section man to
conductor. Later they went into business at Southheart for five years,
after which they were at Sentinel Butte for three years. Eight years ago
they came to Beach and started in the merchantile business at which they
have been eminently successful.
The guests present left a large
number of very beautiful and useful silver articles before departing and
these are very highly prized by Mr. and Mrs. Bartley. Their numerous
friends will join us in extending them congratulations on the event of
their silver wedding and will hope that they may be permitted to
celebrate their Golden Wedding together twenty-five years hence.
We
reproduce below the account of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bartley as
it appeared in the Dickinson Press twenty-five years ago:
Early
Tuesday morning, everybody was astir in the section house, waiting for
the coming wed-lock. At a little before nine o'clock, Miss Katharine
O'Leary and Mr. John J. Bartley, appeared before the altar ready to give
their solemn vows and be united in holy matrimony. The stately bride was
robed in a handsome golden brown tulle silk dress, beautifully decorated
with flowers. Standing by her side as bridesmaid, was Miss Lizzie
O'Leary, sister of the bride, dressed in dark green silk. Mr. Bartley's
"best man" was Owen Flynn, of Dickinson. Father Brennan performed the
ceremony in his usual calm manner and ere long the candidates for
marriage were man and wife. Immediately after the ceremony, mass was
held, following which the many friends present offered their
congratulations and best wishes. An elaborate breakfast was then served
to those present. No. 1 brought a host of Dickinson friends in the
afternoon and at five o'clock a sumptuous wedding dinner was partaken
of, the richness of which we need not mention, when the fact is taken
into consideration, that it was prepared by Mrs. Kennedy, aunt of the
bride.
The evening was pleasantly spent in dancing, singing and other
amusements. And it may be said, though trainmen while stopping for water
or side tracked, had but little time, they were nevertheless always
remembered.
The bride and groom after a short stay at this place,
will begin "keeping house" in Dickinson, where Mr. Bartley is employed
as engineer on the N. P. May joy, happiness and prosperity be with them
is the wish of a host of friends and acquaintances.

Conductor Sylvester Died At Glendive Hospital
- - - - -
Conductor Chas. W. Sylvester, who excited much interest in this part of
the country a little over a year ago, when he was taken prisoner on the
charge of shooting and fatally injuring his wife, succumbed at the
Glendive hospital Monday evening, following an operation for gall stones
and ulcers of the stomach.
Conductor Sylvester resided in Dickinson
for many years, coming here about 1902. The unfortunate affair at
Belfield a little over a year ago, which resulted in the death of Mrs.
Sylvester, is still fresh in the memories of many of our readers. After
the trial and acquittal Mr. Sylvester resumed his work on the railroad,
but it is said that he soon became an altogether changed man. His former
associates scarcely recognized him. He withdrew himself from his friends
as far as possible, his only companion being his 12 years old son, who
it is said could hardly be made to realize that his father was dead.
For about eight years deceased had a run from Glendive to Dickinson and
later was transferred to Mandan, serving as passenger conductor to
Glendive until 1914, when he filed on a homestead 17 miles north of
Belfield. He returned to his work on the road a year or so later. He was
a good railroad man. - Dickinson Press.

On Friday, April 26th, at
Providence Hospital, Seattle, Wash., occurred the death of J. Edward
Gee, heart failure being the cause. The remains were prepared for burial
in Seattle and arrived in Beach on No. 2 last Wednesday. Funeral
services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the
Congregational church, Rev. Keniston officiating and he delivered a most
comforting sermon, taking for his text the passage: "In my father's
house are many mansions." The choir sang two of the favorite hymns of
the deceased, "Nearer My God to Thee" and "God Be With You Till We Meet
Again." The floral offerings at the funeral were profuse and the large
number of friends present indicated that the departed was held in high
esteem. Interment was made in the Beach cemetery, the M. W. A., of which
he had been a member for more than twenty years, conducted the beautiful
and impressive services at the grave. Members of the local lodge acted
as pall bearers, they being L. B. Westby, George Elliott, M. C.
McCarthy, George Christenson, Hermon Wojahn and Joe Cramer.
Jay Edgar
Gee was born October 6th, 1862 near Harrisburg, Penn., where his father
was extensively interested in oil wells. In 1870 the family moved to
Hillsdale, Mich., and in 1880 Mr. Gee was graduated with honors from the
law course of Hillsdale College. In 1882 he went to Tracy, Minn., where
he engaged in business. On December 29, 1891, at Springfield, Minn., he
was united in marriage to Miss Agness Egan and the following year they
removed to Sisseton, S.D., where Mr. Gee took land on the Sisseton and
Wahpeton Indian reservations. In 1911 he went to Medicine Hat, Canada,
in an effort to regain his failing health. He spent the greater part of
his time there until about three weeks before his death, when he was
ordered by his physician to go to the coast. This change did not seem to
be of any avail and on April 28th he passed away at Providence Hospital,
Seattle. His son, Edward, was with him at the time of death and
accompanied the remains back to this city.
Besides the widow, Mrs.
Agness E. Gee, and son Edward, both of this place, deceased is survived

Captain and Mrs. Near Were Surprised
- - - - -
Friends
Gathered to Help Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversary
- - - -
The
cottage home of Captain and Mrs. Charles A. Near, on the north side was
a delightful scene of marital felicity on last Wednesday evening. The
occasion was the celebration of the Golden wedding of the captain and
his bride of fifty years. The early arrivals found the captain in
semi-dishabile (sic) and Mrs. Near in her calico house dress, so
complete was the surprise on the venerable couple. The Captain played
the gallant host until all the chairs had been taken up. Then a large
delegation arrived and he threw up his hands in complete surrender and
his two sons, Fred E. and Ray K. looked after accommodations for all the
arrivals. The Captain was so completely taken in that the doughty
gentleman did not notice his appearance in docollete until after many of
the guests had taken their departure.
The popular Beach male
quartette contributed several musical numbers during the evening and the
guests brought with them as dainty a luncheon as was ever served but the
Groom's Cake was of a darker color than is common for a groom of fewer
years. A renewal of the marriage vows was pronounced by Rev. Geo. N.
Keniston, but the promise to obey was eliminated from the bride's vows
and added to that of the groom. Rev. Keniston offered a very fitting
prayer as a part of the ceremony and also gave a very appropriate talk
to the couple who had been fortunate enough to enjoy fifty years of
married bliss together.
The living children of Captain and Mrs. Near,
who are each seventy years young, are: Mrs. F. F. Vaughn of Yankton,
S.D., Fred E. Near, Beach, N.D., Mrs. B. B. Allen, Sioux Falls, S.D.,
Mrs. A. W. Harper, Minneapolis, R. W. Near, St. Joseph, Mo., R. E. Near,

Mrs. Near were married at Palmyra, N.Y., May 9, 1866. A Guest Book

Olsen - Halvorson Wedding
- - - - -
We
reproduce below the account of the Olsen - Halvorson wedding, of which
mention was made in our last issue, as it appeared in the Mitchell
County Press, of Osage, Iowa.
"A most perfectly appointed June
wedding was the one at the J. H. Olsen home on the evening of June 7,
when Igna Olene Olsen became the bride of Karl O. Halvorson. About fifty
couples had been invited to witness the happy event. At 8 o'clock,
amidst the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding march, played by Miss Selma
Hong, the bride in a dainty white net dress of silk, carrying a shower
bouquet of roses and sweet peas, and the groom, looking his best, took
their places in front of a bank of bridal wreath and pink honeysuckle.
Rev. Waldeland, using the impressive Lutheran ring service, pronounced
the words which united these two young people in marriage. This was
followed by the hearty good wishes and congratulations of the assembled
relatives and friends.
The guests then repaired to the dining room,
which had been made beautiful with pink sweet peas and bridal wreath.
Here a delicious two-course supper was served by the Misses Grace
Whitaker and Mae and Thelma Tollefson. Vocal and instrumental music
added to the pleasures of the evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Halvorson, amidst
a shower of rice and good wishes, left Thursday noon for their new home
at Beach, N.D., where Karl has been for the past four years, assistant
cashier of the Farmers' & Merchants bank.
St. Ansgar has been the
home of these two estimable young people for the greater part of their
lives. Part of their education was received in the public schools and
the Seminary. Mr. Halvorson completed his education at St. Olaf's
college, at Northfield, which fitted him for the position of trust he
has so successfully filed. Mrs. Halvorson took a course at the Cedar
Rapids Business College, since when she has been actively engaged in
stenographic work. Both Mr. and Mrs. Halvorson have taken prominent
parts in the church work and social life of the town. A proof of the
high esteem in which they are held is evidenced by the numerous and
beautiful gifts which they received. That they will be greatly missed is
but too evident. They have however, the good wishes of hosts of friends,
who can but wish that happiness and prosperity may come in plenty to
them in the new home which they are making. Guests from out of town who
attended the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Whitaker, Grace, Jay and
Dewey Whitaker, and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Halvorson, of Osage, and Rev.
and Mrs. Heltne of Lawler, Iowa.

From
Belfield Times -
At St. Bernard's church, Sunday morning, a very
pretty wedding was solemnized when the Rev. F. H. Hollinberger joined
together in matrimony Miss Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Redmond
and Mr. John Brown a Beach business man. The happy couple were supported
at the altar by Miss Anna Kukacha and Mr. Nick Redmond, uncle of the
bride.
The bride is a young lady who has lived near this city for
several years and we do not exaggerate when we say Mae Redmond's
acquaintances were all her friends, her disposition always sparkling
like the proverbial dewdrop that lived and laughed on the petals of the
sunflower. Mr. Brown is a successful young business man and is a man
held in high esteem by all with whom he comes in contact, both socially
and financially.
After the ceremony, a wedding breakfast, elaborate
in its appointments, was served at the home of the brides parents.

Elizabeth with the violin, both of whom are sisters of the bride. The
groom was attended by Jim Power. The bridal party was preceded by Mona
Abernatly, who carried the wedding ring on a dainty white satin pillow.
Miss Marie Keohane and Rose Johnson acted as flower girls. After the

of the parents of the bride. The Misses Margaret, Eleanor and Elizabeth
Bartley and Margaret Wallace, Eleanor Wall and Mary DeMerse assisted in

out-of-town guests were Mrs. B. Connel, an aunt of the bride, Mrs. Wm.
Kennedy, a grand aunt and Mrs. and Mrs. J. B. Malone, all of south

Bartley about seven years ago. The groom is one of the capable young
farmers of the Golden Valley, residing five miles south of this city.

James Guy Crossman - - - - -
After a
long period of suffering, James G. Crossman passed away on Monday of
this week. A recent visit to the Mayo hospital at Rochester, Minn.,
resulted in a diagnosis of cancer, and the disease had progressed to
such a degree that an operation was deemed inadvisable by the famous
surgeons. Prior to his death he had planned all the affairs, even to the
details of his funeral. He asked that Rev. Kenniston preach the sermon
and the Beach Male Quartette sing. The funeral services were conducted
from the Congregational church Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock Rev.
Kenniston assisted by Rev. Mr. Mercer, conducting the services.
Interment was made in the local cemetery. James Guy Crossman was born at
Elkton, S.D., on April 20th, 1895. In the spring of 1906 he moved with
the other members of the family to their homestead about twenty miles
southeast of Beach, where he has since resided. In May, 1912 he was
untied in marriage to Miss Mary Brunt Arnold, of Lima, Ohio. Mr. and
Mrs. H. P. Crossman, parents of the deceased, who reside seventeen miles
southeast, one sister and a brother Darwin C., of Lima, Ohio, constitute
the family. Mr. D. C. Crossman came at the call of the parents to be
present during the last few days. Mother Crossman, for many years an
active worker in the Congregational church, found some comfort in having
her boy's remains buried in the church of her choice. The many friends
of the family extend to the sorrowing ones their sincere sympathy.

Mrs. Reier Thompson Passed Away Friday
- - - - -
The
people of the entire community were shocked last Friday morning when the
word was passed around that Mrs. Reier Thompson had passed away at her
home in this city. Mrs. Thompson had apparently been in good health up
until an early hour Friday morning. At about three o'clock she
complained of a pain around her heart. A physician was called but his
examination did not reveal any ailment of a serious nature. A little
later in the morning her condition appeared to become serious and the
doctor was again called. But nothing that he could do would avail and at
seven o'clock she passed away, heart failure being the cause.
Funeral
services were held Monday afternoon at two o'clock from the Norwegian
Lutheran church, Rev. Larson, of Taylor and Rev. Trinklein of the local
German church officiating. Appropriate singing was furnished by the
church choir. The large audience and the many and beautiful floral
offerings at the funeral indicated the universal high esteem in which
the deceased was held.
Mrs. Pernille Serine (Nelson) Thomposn was
born in Valestrand, Norway on May 25th, 1846. In 1857 she came to
Jackson County, Wisconsin, together with her parents. On May 25th, 1865,
she was married to Reier Thomposn. They resided in Wisconsin until the
spring of 1907 when the family moved to the Golden Valley, settling on
their farm two miles from Beach. Two years later Mr. Thompson engaged in
the lumber business in this city and since that time they have resided
in Beach. Mrs. Thompson was a woman of splendid christian character. She
was a faithful worker in the Lutheran church, of which she was a member
and her counsel and labor were at all times given ungrudgingly. She will
be sadly missed, not only by the members of her immediate family but by
all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
Deceased is survived by
her husband and the following children: Charley Thompson, of Grafton,
N.D.; Nels Thompson, Blair, Wis.: Mrs. G. O. Knutson, Blair, Wis.: Mrs.
A. Anderson, Golva and Henry, Albert and Rudolph Thompson of Beach. All
the children were present for the funeral services.
"We will weep fro
the days that come no more,
For the sunbeam gone from the heart and
door;
For a missing step, for a nameless grace,
For a mother's
form for a mother' face;
But not for the soul whose crown is won,
Whose infinite joy has only begun;
Not for the spirit enrolled in
light,
Crowned where the angels are tonight."

Golden Valley County Pioneer Passes Away
- - - - -
Last Saturday morning at the Dickinson Hospital occurred the death of
Frank Davidson, of Sentinel Butte. Deceased had just recently undergone
an operation for appendicitis and for a time after the operation he
seemed to be improving, but later he began to fail and the attending
physicians were unable to do anything for him. The funeral services were
held Monday afternoon from the Congregational church at Sentinel Butte,
Rev. Larson, of Taylor, officiating. The funeral is said to have been
one of the most largely attended ever held in the country, indicating
that the departed was widely acquainted and highly respected.
Deceased was a native of Sweden and emigrated to the United States while
still a young man. In 1890 he moved to what is now Beach, being employed
as a section man by the Northern Pacific Railroad. Later he moved to
Sentinel Butte for a few years. About eleven years ago he moved to his
ranch about eight miles north of Sentinel Butte for a few years. About
eleven years ago he moved to his ranch about eight miles north of
Sentinel Butte, where the family has since made their home. His brother
John Davidson, is resident of this city being employed as a section
foreman on the Northern Pacific.
Besides the grief stricken widow the
deceased is survived by four children, Mrs. Ole Hagseth, Mrs. Chas.
Waldahl, David Davidson and Lilly Davidson, all of whom reside north of

Horace Ball Meets Tragic Death
- - - - -
Shack
In Which He Slept was Blown Up and Occupant Apparently Instantly Killed.
- - - - -
The entire community was shocked Tuesday morning to learn
that during the previous night a small shack located back of the Farmers
Supply Company store, and which was used by Horace Ball as sleeping
quarters, had been blown up and Mr. Ball killed. The discharge occurred
a few minutes after twelve o'clock Monday night, many of the residents
of the city having heard the explosion but no one realized what it was
before the morning.
O. C. Attletweed was the first to discover that
the shack had been wrecked. He was up early Tuesday morning with the
intention of driving to Baker. As soon as he discovered the wreck he
concluded it was the result of wind during the night. He called the
officers and some of the neighbors and upon investigation it was soon
noticed that the wrecking of the building and the death of Mr. Ball were
the results of an explosion. There are all kinds of theories in the air
as to how it happened. It is of course impossible for any one to know
definitely, but the opinion seems to be quite prevalent that it was a
case of foul play. The indications are that a dynamite charge had been
placed under the floor of the building, a hole similar to that produced
by a discharge of dynamite, having been made in the ground near the
north wall and just below the place where Mr. Ball's cot stood. Several
feet of burned fuse were also found a short distance north of the
building.
There has been no inquest held of this writing but a jury
is being summoned today and we understand the inquest is to be held at 9
o'clock, Thursday morning. What the coroner's jury will find is of
course problematical. It would appear, however, that the circumstances
of the case should have warranted a prompt and very thorough
investigation.
The unfortunate man is survived by his grief stricken
widow and three children, who have the most sincere sympathy of the
entire community. The family has been living on a homestead north of
this city and just prior to the tragedy Mr. Ball had been staying in
town where he was working as a brick layer on the new Reeve building.
Funeral arrangements have been completed and the funeral services will
be held Thursday, July 20, at two o'clock from the Congregational
church. Interment will be made in the local cemetery. Members of the
Woodmen of the World, of which deceased was a member, will act as pall
bearers and the lodge will act as an escort and also conduct very brief
services at the grave.

William G. Gilbert Meets Tragic Death
- - - - -
Falls From Top of Moving Train and is Instantly Killed
- - - - -
The people of the entire community were shocked Monday to learn that
William J. Gilbert, brakeman on the south branch train, had been run
over and instantly killed. According to those who saw the accident it
happened about as follows: The south branch train was doing some
switching in the local yards in preparatory to starting on their trip
south. It appears that the train was backing up and Mr. Gilbert went to
the rear car to adjust the break. The break appeared to turn more easily
than he expected and he lost his balance, fell over the rear end and the
moving car passed over his body, killing him immediately and mangling
his body in a horrible manner. The proper authorities were at once
notified but upon examining the eye witnesses found that it was purely a
case of accident and that no blame attached to the train crew in any
manner. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at Sentinel Butte, Rev.
Kessinger of this city officiating.
The deceased is survived by his
aged mother, Mrs. Henry Gilbert, of this city and the following brothers
and sisters: Edward Gilbert of Beach; Charley, Albert, Fred and Harry
Gilbert, of Sentinel Butte; Mrs. Otto Stensrud, Beach, and Mrs. Christie
Howard of Dickinson. To these a host of friends join with us in
extending sincere sympathy.
William J. Gilbert was born on August 23,
187. . at Langdom, Ontario, Canada. In 1882, together with the rest of
the family, he moved to Sentinel Butte. While there he entered railroad
work and was employed in various capabilities on the division between
Glendive and Dickinson. Last year he accepted the position of brakeman
on the south branch out of this city and made Beach his home since that
time. He was a man of quiet disposition and he was very highly thought
of by all those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His sudden and
tragic end was a severe shock, not only to his immediate relatives, but
to all his friends and acquaintances as well.

Frank Luchowski, alias Frank Lang, and I.W.W.
who Sunday night confessed to the murder of Louis Larsen a wealthy Mott
farmer, was spirited away from the Hettinger county jail during the
night and taken to Dickinson for safe keeping. Two mobs gathered around
the jail one a band of 150 I.W.W.'s who made threats to tear down the
jail and turn the murderer loose, and another mob of about 150 farmers
who threatened to lynch Luchowski.
After hours of cross examination
the man made a written confession. He admitted that he killed Larson
with a heavy scale weight, after he had quarreled with his employer. He
said that Larson had struck him on the head with a rock while on their
way to a hay field.
Larson was 27 years of age and single. The

highway robberies, assaults and continual refusal to work for other than
outrageous wages, all culminating . . . . .

Prominent Carlyle Farmer Dead

John Franklin Carlock Dies After Short Illness Following Paralytic
Stroke
- - - - -
J. F. Carlock, a well known farmer of the Carlyle
country passed away at his home there last Thursday, after only a few
days illness, following a paralytic stroke. The immediate cause of death
is reported as being cerebroid hemorrhage. Funeral services were held at
the farm home three miles southeast of Carlyle last Saturday afternoon
at 2:30, Rev. Mr. Keniston, of this city conducting the service,
assisted by the pastor of the local United Brethren church. The choir of
the Carlyle U. B. church sang, and at the request of the family Mr. L.
B. Westby of this city sang "Abide With Me".
Father Carlock has from
boyhood been a reverent student of the scriptures. His activity in
Christian work is shown in his years of service to the Christian church
as Elder, superintendent and teacher in the Sabbath school and like
religious activities. His short final illness was beautiful in its godly
trust and sweet Christian spirit. The fourteenth chapter of John was a
memorable favorite and because of his frequent quotation of that
wonderful "Comfort Chapter", Mr. Keniston used it as a basis of his
remarks.
Interment was made at Carlock, Illinois, where his remains
will lie with those of the son and deceased wife in the cemetery of the
old home town which honors him with its name.
John Franklin Carlock
was born December 12th, 1846, Beford County, Ill. On July 4th, 1868, he
was married to Miss Julia A. Stephens. To this union were born the
following children: Alphens B. Carlock and Mrs. Norn Salzman, deceased;
Mrs. Cora O'Leary of Carlock, Ill., Mrs. Lydia Belsly of Deer Creek,
Ill., Dillard A., Artis and John F. Carlock, Jr., of Carlyle, Mont. On
December 15, 1910 Mrs. Stephens Carlock died. On November 28, 1912 at
Ronneby, Minn., he was married to Mary A. Ayers. For the past several
years the family has resided on their farm near Carlyle. Last spring Mr.
Carlock sold out his personal property, turning the active management of
the farm over to his son, as he felt he wanted to take life a little
easier. During the past summer he has made several trips back east to
interest prospective land buyers in this section of the country. He was
a good consistent booster for this section, a first class farmer and a
good friend and neighbor. The many Golden Valley friends of the family
will join us in extending them sincere sympathy.

Arrest Made In Connection With Horace Ball Murder
- - - - -
As a result of the investigations carried on by detectives
employed by the county, Geo. Smith was arrested late last week on a
warrant charging him with the murder of Horace Ball. Ball was murdered
while sleeping in his shack on the North side on the night of July 16
last by dynamite being set off under the building. The coroners jury who
heard the evidence available the day following the murder declared that
Ball had met death by foul means at the hands of a person or persons to
the jury unknown. Since then strenuous efforts have been made to run
down every clue by detectives of the Burns agency.
Little is known of
the nature of the evidence that the detectives have unearthed to connect
Smith with the crime. Smith and Ball filed on adjoining homesteads near
Buelsdals about 20 miles north of Beach a few years ago. They were
apparently friends. The motive, if one there was, is not yet revealed.
The preliminary examination of Smith will be had in a few days before
Justice Heath, at which time some of the facts surrounding this dreadful
murder, it is hoped, will be brot to light.

epileptic attacks. Mr. Obert had not been in good health for a number of

Death of Very Popular Man

J. B. Stoddard Passed Away at His Ranch Near Sentinel Butte Last
Wednesday
-- - - - -
The many friends of J. B. Stoddard were shocked and surprised last
Wednesday to learn that death had again claimed its victim and that Mr.
Stoddard had passed away that morning at his ranch home, surrounded by
his wife, three children and his aged father.
During his illness with typhoid fever the patient had made
considerable progress towards recovery, but a relapse resulted as above.
At time of death Mr. Stoddard was 58 years of age and for more than
twenty-five years had been a resident of Billings and Golden
Valley counties, where he was engaged in the ranching business. In his
business as a ranchman he had acquired thousands of acres of land and
hundreds of head of horses, cattle and sheep, besides other interests,
yet he always found time to put his support and
influence behind any movement for the benefit of the county or locality
in which he lived. He served in Billings county as one of its
commissioners for a number of years and was one of the best posted and
well informed men in western North Dakota. We also
believe he was one of the most popular men west of the river and was
known throughout the state. Mr. Stoddard was a member of the
Elks lodge at Dickinson and last July took an active part in staging the
Elk's frontier roundup at that city, during which he was
dragged from his horse and sustained a broken leg and other injuries,
which confined him to his bed for several weeks. While still in a weaken
condition he contracted typhoid fever, which was the direct cause of his
death.
In March 1903, he was united in marriage at Dickinson, to Nora J.
Andress of Do
