Forms a Life Partnership - -
- - - Another Couple of Popular Young People in Beach Are
the Contracting Parties - - - - - On Wednesday morning
a bridal party wended its way to the St. John's
Catholic church in this city, where to the inspiring strains of
Mendelsohn's
wedding march Miss Eileen Kathrine Madison and Glenn Albert
Wallace marched up the isle to meet Rev. Father Wolpers, who
spoke the words which joined them in the holy bonds of wedlock.
Only immediate relatives witnessed the ceremony. The bride
was attended by Miss Marguerite Wallace, while the groom was
supported by Daniel Madison. The bride was attired in a most
becoming gown of navy blue silk pan velvet and carried a bouquet
of bride's roses. Miss Wallace as bridesmaid was attired in navy
blue charmeuse. After the ceremony the party returned to the
home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Madison, where a bountiful wedding
breakfast was in waiting. The dining room was most attractively
decorated in pink and white, the color scheme being followed out
in the table decorations, roses and carnations being used for
center pieces. Mrs. Catherine McCarthy presided at the organ
during the services at the church. Glen Wallace is too well
known to the citizens of Beach to need any introduction, having
grown to manhood practically in this city. Last fall he went to
Joplin, Mont., where he had been engaged as grain buyer for the
Equity grain company, and is made good in the position. Mrs.
Eileen Wallace has even a more extended acquaintance than her
husband, having been connected in some way with one business
enterprise or another for a number of years in Beach and during
the past few years filling most satisfactorily the position of
chief operator and bookkeeper of the local telephone exchange.
By her genial disposition, courteous treatment and willingness
to oblige she has made for herself a host of friends who will be
sorry to lose her from their circle of acquaintances. The
many friends of the happy couple here extend to them best wishes
for a long a happy life, and in which The Advance wishes to
join. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace left on No. 2 today for Minneapolis,
where they will spend their honeymoon, after which they will go
to Joplin, Mont., to make their future home.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Young Business Man Weds
- - - - - Ceremony Performed at Mott, N.D. - Bridal Trip
Will Be Taken to Minnesota - - - - - N. F. Bartholome,
one of the proprietors for The Model Clothing & Shoe Co. stores
at Beach, Sentinel Butte and Belfield, and one of our most
popular young business men, was untied in marriage at Mott
today, to Miss Rose Bannon. None of the details of the ceremony
was obtainable at the time of going to press, other than that
the happy pair will go to Zapata, Minn., for a two week's
honeymoon and visit with relatives. Mr. Bartholome came to
Beach, a few years ago as a clerk in the J. J. Bartley store and
his efficiency and good business judgment at once placed him in
the front ranks of desirable clerks, to the end that Mr. L. B.
Westby, general manager of The Model stores secured his
services. Later a reorganization of the company was made and Mr.
Bartholome was given a place on the list of proprietors. He has
won for himself an enviable reputation as a progressive, wide
awake business man and a good citizen. Miss Bannon has a
large acquaintance in Beach, having been employed in the E. E.
Dickinson store for some time. She is a young lady of many
accomplishments and the people of Beach will extend a hearty
welcome on her return here as her future home. Friends of the
happy couple extend best wishes for a life of happiness and
prosperity and in this expressing of good will we trust The
Advance may be included. They will occupy the house on the
north side formerly occupied by J. R. Water, which the groom has
made ready for occupancy.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Stiehl, and to visit among relatives and old
friends for a short time. Mr. Steihl, still retains his farm
near Beach but has not been actively engaged in farming for the
past three years. He reports all of our Beach friends as well,
happy and prosperous. Last fall, Mr. Stiehl and two sons, Orin
and Clarence, made a trip through a number of western states in
search of a location to their liking, and while they did not
find anything any more satisfactory than Beach, Mr. Stiehl
states the trip was well worth while for the enjoyment and
knowledge received from it. - Black River Falls (Wis.) Journal.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Beach Man Dies at Dickinson - - - - - H. C. Larson went to Dickinson several weeks
ago to secure surgical help for his ailment but his weakened
condition would not permit an operation. Blood was taken from
Jerney Mezek and given the patient, but only a temporary help
was obtained. He passed to the great beyond some time about noon
today. Mr. Larson was about 38 years of age and came to the
Golden Valley nine years ago, taking up a claim in the Lame
Steer district. Some four years ago he was married to Miss
Nellie Murry, who preceded him to the great beyond a little over
a year ago. Only a few months ago he was married to Miss Rosa
Kobel, who survives him. Mr. Larsen has a brother, J. P. Larsen,
a sister, Mrs. G. O. Hemness in the Lame Steer district, Mrs.
Albert Halloway in Canada, a father and mother at Canova, S.
Dak., besides other relatives in South Dakota, to whom is
extended the sympathy of the community in their loss. Mr.
Larson had accumulated considerable property since coming to the
Golden Valley, owning two farms and a town residence. His genial
disposition and big heartedness has made him many friends, who
will mourn his untimely death. Arrangements for the funeral
had not been completed at the time of going to press.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

returned to Jackson county about 1884 and Mr. Metzger engaged in
farming in south Alma. About 12 years ago he retired from

the Methodist parsonage in Wibaux. John C. Trollope, the well
known son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Trollope of Beem and Miss Albert
C. Amunrud, were untied in the holy bonds of matrimony. The
ceremony that made them man and wife was performed by the Rev.
A. L. Hurlbut of the Methodist church. The young bride is
very well known in the city of Beach, she having been a graduate
of the Beach High School in the class of 1916. She lived in this
city with her parents until Mr. Oscar Amunrud moved to Beem.
The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Norma Amunrud and the
groom by his brother, Mr. Boyd Trollope. After the ceremony the
young couple left for Miles City and other western cities. Upon
their return they will go to housekeeping on the groom's ranch.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Wednesday Wedding Bells
- - - - - The marriage of Miss Elna Boyer and Peter Thompson
of Thelen, took place at Glendive on Wednesday of this week and
was something of a surprise to friends of the contracting
parties. Miss Boyer is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Boyer
of Thelen, and is a young lady of very pleasing personality and
many accomplishments. Mr. Thompson has been a resident of the
valley for several years, following the trade of engineer much
of the time, but has now rented the Schero farm and will stick
to that line of business. The many friends the contracting
parties wish them joy and prosperity in the double yoke.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

The Grim Reaper Busy - -
- - - Word was received in this city on Sunday that August
Erdman, who went to Dickinson last week for an operation for
appendicitis, had passed away that morning. Relatives left for
that city Monday to accompany the remains home, but up to this
time have not returned, so that full details are not obtainable.
Mr. Erdman is a young man of about thirty year of age and for a
number of years has lived with his brothers at the farm
southeast of Rocky Butte, assisting in the operation of the
farm. He was well spoken of by his many acquaintances. He leaves
eight brothers and his father and mother, all living near Rocky
Butte, to mourn his early demise. - - - - - On Sunday
morning D. R. Higby, who was making his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Frank Hurst, two miles southwest of Carlyle, passed away
very suddenly. He had been suffering for some time with a
disease of the arteries which undoubtedly caused his death.
Deceased was nearly 67 years of age. No announcement of the
funeral can be made at this time, owing to the condition of the
south branch road. Sympathy is extended to his bereaved ones.
- - - - - Nicholas Redmond died at the home of his niece,
Mrs. John Brown, in this city, Sunday, of tuberculosis at the
age of 49 years. Mr. Redmond came to Beach from Belfield some
time ago to make his home with Mrs. Brown, but the rigor of the
winter was too much for him in his weakened condition and he
passed away as above. Mr. Redmond came to North Dakota from
Iowa, settling at Belfield, where he has a number of relatives
and one brother. He never was married. The remains were
shipped to Belfield, Tuesday, and were accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. John Brown and T. Redmond, a nephew. The funeral services
were held at the Belfield Catholic church Wednesday morning,
interment being made in the cemetery at that place.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Death by Fire and Axphyxiation
(sic) - - - - - Two lives Destroyed - A Baby at
Wibaux and Frank C. Brown of Medora - - - - - Sunday
morning of last week the home of Ernest R. Page of Wibaux caught
fire in the early morning and the family were nearly suffocated
before making their escape. Mr. Page had started a fire in the
stove and then went back to sleep, being awakened by smoke and
intense heat. He rescued all his family with the exception of
one little tot, and as he was approaching safety with it he was
overcome and cannot tell how he made his escape from the
building, but the child was gone. What remained of its charred
body was taken from the basement after the fire. Mr. Page was
taken to Glendive to the hospital and is reported to be getting
along as well as could be expected. - - - - - Last
Wednesday the partly frozen body of F. C. Brown, a homesteader
near Medora, was found by neighbors lying on his bed in his
cabin home. It is thought that the storm about that time and
which completely covered his cabin, had stopped up his stove
pipe, causing the gas to escape in the room in which he was
sleeping and was the means of death. Mr. Brown is the brother of
Jay Brown of Sentinel Butte. The funeral services were held
from the Congregational church at Sentinel Butte on Thursday
afternoon.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Silver Wedding Anniversary
- - - - - Large Number of Friends Gather at the Home of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Hoverson - - - - - On Friday evening,
February 16, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hoverson of this city passed
the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedded life and friends to
the number of nearly 100 gathered at their home to assist them
in properly celebrating the event. Mr. and Mrs. Hoverson were
married in Pope county, Minn., near Hancock, and came to North
Dakota in 1892, accepting a position in the general office of
the Robertson Lumber Co., of Grafton. They were among the early
settlers of the Golden Valley, coming here in 1906, taking a
homestead and opening the hardware, furniture and implement
business under the firm name of Overstad & Hoverson, of which he
was the junior member. Later the implement business was sold,
Mr. Hoverson devoting his personal attention to the furniture
and hardware and which he still retains. Mr. Hoverson was also
honored by being elected senator from the 39th legislative
district, but refused to be a candidate for re-election. He has
also served in several local positions of trust. Friday evening
was spent in games, music and speeches of congratulations,
supplemented by delicious refreshments. Before leaving the
guests presented Mr. and Mrs. Hoverson with a beautiful silver
candelabra as a token of esteem and a souvenir of the occasion.
Those who attended out of town were Mr. and Mrs. George
Selsvold, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Erickson, Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Olson,
and Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Scarlet Fever Claims Victim
- - - - - Ferdinand Bublitz Dies From the Disease After
Only a Short Illness - - - - - The death of Ferdinand
Bublitz, which occurred Saturday, February 24, after only a
short illness with scarlet fever, came as a shock to the
citizens of Beach. The funeral was held in the yard at 6 o'clock
that evening, Rev. Hammer officiating. The body was shipped to
Brownton, Minn., interment being made in the Sumpter cemetery.
Mr. Bublitz was 30 years of age at time of death and was born in
Germany. He came to Beach several years ago and was numbered
among one of our good citizens. He leaves a wife and four
children to mourn his loss and to them is extended the sympathy
of the community. Three of the children are now suffering from
scarlet fever, but are doing nicely at the time we go to press.

progressive farmers of the Carlyle district, was called to his
last home on Sunday, February 25, after an illness of several
months. He was born in England fifty-seven years ago, and if we
are rightly informed was one of the early settlers of the
Carlyle territory. His body was shipped today to Bloomington,
Ill, for interment. At time of going to press we were unable to
learn any of the particulars, but we have heard Mr. Drust very
highly spoken of as a man and citizen. His family are extended

John Howell, Dead - - - - -
The many friends and acquaintances of John Howell, while not
surprised, were pained at the news of his death, which took
place at the hospital in Dickinson, Monday, March 5. Mr.
Howell was born in New York, January 19, 1853, and was therefore
64 years of age at time of death. He moved with his parents to
Illinois when a baby, and in this state he was left an orphan
when only a child, going to live with an aunt where he grew to
manhood. Eight years ago he came to Montana and took up a
homestead west of the Beaver, near Edgehill, on which he made
final proof and three years ago sold out on account of failing
health. During his stay in the west he made his home much of the
time with either W. A. Sprague or August Kastien. Three years
ago he made a profession of religion and has quietly lived a
Christian life since that time. He went to the hospital about
Christmas time, but his weakened condition made death
inevitable. The funeral services were held at Dickinson, J. G.
Duling, pastor of the Congregational church of that city
officiating. Interment was made in the Dickinson cemetery. He
leaves a brother in Illinois and a son and daughter in St.
Louis, but none of them were able to be present at the funeral.
A. E. Kastien and Mrs. A. W. Kastien and daughter of Beach were
the only immediate friends who escorted the remains to their
last resting place.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

lives of Miss Sabra Wells, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Wells,
and Dallas Blue, son of W. L. Blue, both of Golva. The happy
couple were accompanied by Ruth Blue, a sister of the groom, and
Chester Meredith, who acted as bridesmaid and bridegroom. The
contacting parties are well known and very popular among the
young people of the valley, all of whom unite in wishing them a
live of prosperity and happiness.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Harry W. Kastien Laid at Rest
- - - - - Paralysis of Intestines Following Operation
Immediate Cause of Death - - - - - It is with a
feeling of sincere sorrow that we are called upon this week to
chronicle the death of Harry Kastien, which took place at the
Dickinson hospital last Thursday evening at 11:35. On the
previous Saturday, Harry underwent an operation for the removal
of a kidney stone and appeared to be doing nicely until
Thursday, when it was deemed necessary that another operation be
performed, which disclosed the fact that his bowels were
paralyzed and the patient had no chance for life. His mother,
father and brother Robert were at his side when the end came
until the end, which came at 11:35, and Harry passed to the
great beyond with a smile upon his face. His remains were
brought to Beach on Friday afternoon, accompanied by the grief
stricken parents, and were met at the depot by a large number of
our citizens, who took this opportunity of manifesting their
respect for the deceased and sympathy for the bereaved parents.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the home and was
largely attended. Rev. Keniston of Bismarck, former pastor here
and an especial friend of the family, preached the funeral
sermon and left a most forceful, convincing and helpful message.
Friends of the family and the deceased contributed a wilderness
of flowers as a small token of their respect and esteem.
Harry Kastien was the son of Mayor and Mrs. A. E. Kastien, and
was born in Bunker Hill, Ill., a little over twenty-one years
ago. He came to Beach in July 1908, and this city has been home
since that time. His warm hearted, kindly and generous nature
made him many friends and it is with extreme sorrow that they
learned of his demise just as the door of young manhood and
usefulness in the world was being opened. For some months past
he had been reading law in the offices of Keohane & Jones of
this city and was preparing himself for that profession. Only a
short time before his death, he passed a rigid physical
examination for membership in the Woodmen of The World, became a
member of that order and the local camp escorted his remains to
their final resting place, consigning it to the grave with the
Woodmen ceremony and saluting it with the grand honors as a
final parting.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Mrs. J. W. Brinton Passed Away
- - - - - Death Came at the Home of Her Parents in Los
Angeles, California - - - - - The citizens of this
community were filled with sorrow and surprise last Friday when
a telegram was received by E. Lloyd of this city, announcing the
death of Mrs. J. W. Brinton, at Los Angeles, Cal., the result of
blood poison following child birth. About three weeks ago Mr.
Brinton was advised of the serious illness of his wife and
immediately left for California, and was at her bedside when
death came. Last fall Mrs. Brinton and Mrs. E. Lloyd went to Los
Angeles to spend the winter with their parents, and was also
with her sister during her sickness and demise. The deceased was
also a sister of Mrs. F. E. Near of this city. Mrs. Brinton
came to the Golden Valley in 1906 with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Peak, and in 1911, we believe, was married to J. W. Brinton. Two
children resulted from this union, a boy some four years of age
and a girl of one month. These with her husband, parents and two
sisters of the immediate family left to mourn her departure.
Mrs. Brinton was an employee of this office for several months
after its institution and we learned to know her as a girl of
sterling character and strong attachments. Her amiable
disposition made warm friends of those with whom she formed
attachments and her demise will be a source of deep regret to
her many friends and acquaintances in the Golden Valley. At
time of death she was about 26 years of age and it seems doubly
sad to have so young a life cut short at the time when it would
seem that it held so much of promise for the future. The
funeral service was held Saturday afternoon and she was laid at
rest in the cemetery at Los Angeles.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Elizabeth Harp, seven year old
daughter of E. Harp of south of Wibaux, died at the local
hospital last Thursday morning of heart trouble and dropsy. The
indirect cause of her death was measles, contracted some months

was shipped to Knapp, Wis., and was accompanied by the grief
stricken father.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

The Grim Reaper at Work -
- - - - Will Schermerhorn Dies Very Suddenly at His Farm
Home Near Rocky Butte - - - - - Monday morning word
was received here that William Schermerhorn had gone to his
eternal home. This came as a great surprise to his many friends

On returning home he complained of not feeling well and went
immediately to bed, dying Sunday evening. Mr. Schermerhorn
had been troubled with appendicitis for a number of years but he
has put off the operation and it is thought this was the cause
of his death. He was born in Eureka, Wis., on March 24, 1862,
and was therefore just a little over fifty-five years of age at
the time of death. He was married at Rochester, Minn., to Miss
Anna Tubbs, in 1887. To this union three children were born, two
boys, who died in infancy, and one girl, Marvel, who is still at
home. Besides his wife and daughter, he leaves an aged father
and two brothers to mourn his demise. The funeral services were
held at the home Tuesday morning and were conducted by Rev.
Burns of Sentinel Butte. The remains were then brought to Beach
for shipment to Stewartville, Minn., for burial, and were
accompanied by his wife and daughter. Mr. Schermerhorn came to
the Golden Valley some eight years ago, locating in the Rocky
Butte district, and has many friends who will mourn his sudden
demise. - - - - - Christ Juhnke Dies of Dropsy -

Honeymoon Delayed By Fortunes of
War - - - - - Dickinson Couple Re-United After
Three Years - Husband Drafted Into Russian Army - - - - -
Dickinson, N.D., Aug. 7 - On a farm near Dickinson Mr. and Mrs.
Alexander Papelu today are enjoying a honey moon three years
delayed by the fortunes of war, years filled heart-rendering
anxiety for the woman, separated from her husband three days
after their marriage, when, although an American citizen, he was
drafted into the Russian army. Papelu arrived in Dickinson
yesterday from an Austrian war prison to join his wife. He was
freed through efforts of his attorneys here because he was an
American citizen. Papelu went to Russia from Dickinson to wed
the woman of his choice. Under protest he was drafted and passed
through the early campaigns in Galicia. He was captured by the
Germans when the fortress of Przemysl surrendered in 1915, ate
roots and grass in a German war prison, while hundreds of his
comrades died around him of starvation and exhaustion and
finally was sent to an Austrian prison, where he fared better.
He was finally released, paid 3 cents a day for the 17 months he
was imprisoned and given safe conduct to Switzerland, coming
from there direct to America. He owns a big farm near Dickinson.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Obituary - - - - - To
all who knew him, the death of little Earl Welsh came as a
shock. Always a healthy, frolic-some child, he will be
remembered for his happy, lively ways. He passed away in the
Glendive hospital at 9:12 Friday evening, July 27th, 1917, where
he was operated on that morning for appendicitis. His parents
were both at his bedside when the end came. Earl Mengel
Welsh, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Albion E. Welsh, was born
April 13, 1909, at the farm home 2 1/2 miles north of Yates,
where he lived his short happy life. He leaves to mourn his loss
his affectionate parents and one brother, Eugene, besides a host
of relative and friends. The parents with the little body were
met in Beach by relatives Saturday morning and taken to the home
where the last sad rites were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30.
Rev. A. R. Bosworth of Beach preached a very comforting sermon
on the text, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The choir from
Brenizer sang some appropriate songs, after which a cortege of
automobiles went to the last resting place in the Beach
cemetery. The large attendance and the beautiful floral
offerings bore witness of the love felt for this little one.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Aged Resident Passes Away
- - - - - Mrs. Margaret Harth Died at Home of Her Son in
Beach, After Short Illness - - - - - Mrs. Margaret
Harth, a resident of our city for the past six years, died
Sunday morning, August 12, 1917, at the home of her son, Louis.
Margaret Schuster was born in a village near Nurnberg, in the
Kingdom of Bavaria, on July 25, 1844. In 1873, at the age of 29,
she came to the United States, and on June 29, 1875 she was
married to John Harth in St. Anthony's church in Dehner's
Settlement, near Earl Park, Indiana. Shortly after their
marriage, this sturdy couple moved to a farm near Ambia,
Indiana, where for 35 years they pursued their career of
honorable industry, they being among the early settlers of that
part of Benton county. The development of the middle west may be
credited in a large measure, to the efforts of the German
pioneers of whom Mrs. Harth was a noble example. They brought
with them to their homes in a new country the habits of thrift
and industry that made, not only for their own advancement, but
carved a wonderfully rich empire out of the wilderness. They
brought also respect for law and order, and strong religious
convictions, qualities which made them desirable acquisitions in
any neighborhood, and a tower of strength in the nation. Four
children were born to Mrs. Harth, all of whom survive: John H.
Harth, Mendota, Ill.; Mrs. Karl Schmidt, Caldwell, Kansas; Mrs.
A. J. Foos, Golva, N.D., and Louis Hart of this city. The
funeral was held Tuesday morning, August 14, 1917, at St. John's
Catholic church in this city. The sermon was delivered by Rev.
Otto Wolphers and high mass was celebrated by Rev. St. J.
Ciesleweicz of Wibaux, Mont., and she was laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery at Beach. "After life's fitful fever, she
sleeps well."The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

Suicide Was A Confidence Man
- - - - - Scattered Bogus Checks From New Orleans to
Canada, Then Kills Himself in Bowman County. - - - - -
Phillip Smith, who committed suicide at the home of his
brother-in-law, Ed. Hanson, southeast of Bowman on July 10th,
was no cheap sport in the way of being a confidence man, and he
had reasons for committing suicide other than disappointment
over his wife refusing to live with him. The real fact about
Smith is that he was an all round confidence man, forger, etc.,
and was in such demand that there was a reward of $1000 offered
for his capture. When Smith was here last spring he presented a
check of $500 at one of our banks. The teller refused to cash
it, unless someone he knew was good endorsed it. Ed. Hanson, a
brother-in-law of Smith indorsed the check. Smith got the money,
and later Mr. Hanson had to made good in the amount of $500.
In July Smith came back, and it is said told Hanson it was all a
mistake and reimbursed him for the money he had paid out.
Where did Smith get the money? A letter from the New Orleans
branch of the Burns Detective Agency, which has been sent out to
all the banks, would seem to answer that question. The letter
says: "We are desirous of locating one, Phillip Smith, who
succeeding in defrauding a member bank in this section on June
6, 1917 , by the use of bogus checks to the extend of $1750,
which were honored and for which he was given ten $100 Travelers
Checks, and $750 in cash. He entered a $50000 check for
collection and immediately following this, he came to New
Orleans, cashed all ten of the Travelers Checks and left for
parts unknown." The agency had learned of Smiths suicide, and
wrote to inquire if the report was correct. They were informed
that Smith was dead and buried. The J. H. Kvalness, coroner
and undertaker, had a letter from E. J. Fisk, of Edgemont, S.D.,
a Methodist minister, making inquiry about Smith. He states that
he very foolishly endorsed a $60 check for Smith, and that he
had to pay it. He does not expect to be reimbursed. Doubtless
numerous other jobs will turn up in which Smith was implicated,
as he was apparently a very smooth proposition. - Bowman County

Free Jap Bride in Dickinson
- - - - - Dickinson, N.D., Aug. 30. - Dickinson is in a
furor over a brand new Japanese bride who has just arrived from
Nippon with her husband, Sosku Abe, local restaurant man. This
is Abe's second matrimonial venture. His first wife was an
American girl whom he wed in Billings. Although an artist of
unusual ability, she contracted habits which led to her
celestial husband divorcing her several months ago, when he
divided his property with her. Among other things there fell to
her the Star Restaurant here, which, by a queer quirk of fate,
was closed by the sheriff the same night Abe returned with his
new bride, and as he left the train here he was confronted with
the spectacle of his former wife's being carried from the
building by Captain Rhoda of the Salvation army, who hopes to
win her back to useful womanhood. The new Mrs. Abe was
Kikiiyo Sakurai. She was bought and paid for before she ever set
eyes upon her husband-to-be, who met her at the docks in Seattle
when her boat landed. All negotiations had been carried out with
her parents, through the Japanese consul at Chicago.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

No Enoch Arden Stuff For Chris
- - - - - Chris Satre is not disposed to play the role of
Enoch Arden, but when he returned to his wife in this city, whom
he had left many years ago, and found that she had married
another, he went before the state's attorney and swore out a
warrant for the arrest of her and her husband No. 2, who have
resided in Fargo for the past three years as Mr. and Mrs. Robert
McPhee. "Mr. and Mrs." Robert McPhee were arrested yesterday
afternoon by Chief of Police Louis Dahlgren and Sergeant Morton
Sydness at 408 Ninth street north. They are charged with
adultery. Both were turned over to the sheriff and spent the
night in the county jail. They will be given a preliminary
hearing Monday morning. McPhee stated to the police last night
that he married Mrs. Satre in good faith, having been informed
that she was a widow. When placed under arrest yesterday
afternoon he turned to his "wife" and said: "Why I thought
you said your former husband was dead!" He appeared overcome
with surprise at the developments. Satre appeared in Fargo
early last week to locate his wife from whom he had been
separated for the past six years. He had heard that she was
married and when he found out where she lived with the new
husband he filed a complaint with the state's attorney yesterday
morning. Mrs. Satre and PcPhee were married in Fargo three
years ago. Last night the woman stated she thought her husband
had been sent to prison for life and would never come back and
that it would not be necessary for her to secure a divorce.
McPhee is a common laborer. Mrs. Satre has one child, a boy
eight years old. Mrs. Satre was raised near Kindred, where her
parents still live. She is about 35 years old. McPhee is about

Miss Hazel Stout Answers Last
Call - - - - - The sad death of Miss Hazel Stout
occurred last Saturday morning at her home twenty-three miles
southeast of Beach. Miss Stout was born in Dell Rapids, Minn.,
on May 14th, 1889, and was therefore a little past twenty-eight
years of age at the time of death. When about thirteen years of
age she suffered a severe attack of scarlet fever, since which
time she has never fully regained her health. She came to this
state ten years ago with her people. About a month ago she
returned from Rochester, Minn., where she had went for an
operation, and pneumonia resulted from the taking of a severe
cold. Everything possible was done to preserve her life, but her
weakened condition made it impossible to rally under the ravages
of the disease. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev.
Orchard of Dickinson, and interment was made in the Beach
cemetery. She leaves a father, mother, two sisters and four
brothers to mourn her departure, to whom is extended the
sympathy of the community.The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota,

by those who had been bidden to the feast. Thirty-four covers
were laid. Before and after the banquet music and social chat
made the evening merry, the Misses Steiner and I. H. Claggett
rendering music that was both tuneful and full of pep. The only

brought in to the tune of "Me and My Gal," and placed before
him. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Fitzgerald, Mr.

Defiance, Ia., Dec. 12 - Jacob Peter Muller was born in
Norden, Hanover, Germany, September 3, 1841, died at his home in
Defiance, December 9, 1917, aged 76 years. His parents were
Peter and Jennie Muller. His father was a canal boatman and
plied the rivers of Germany. He was one of a family of nine
children of whom only one, Mrs. (Henry) Fluss, of Decatur, Ill.,
is living. Mr. Muller received his education in Germany. He was

in a two room house together, each family occupying a room to
itself. The house was a frame building, unplastered. All the

equally, even to the eggs. Mr. and Mrs. Muller came to Iowa
in the spring of 1889 and settled on the old farm in Greeley
township two and a half miles southeast of Defiance. Here they
labored on their own farm the next eleven years and by hard
work, frugality and good management they built up one of the
best farms in this part of the state. Mr. Muller was a good
farmer and stock man. After thirty-five years of hard work he
was able to retire from active work and came with his wife and
children at home to Defiance in the spring of 1900, to spent his
declining days in comparative quiet. Mr. and Mrs. Muller were
the parents of nine children of whom eight are living: Peter,
Jennie, Albert E., and Fannie of Defiance, Ia.; Mrs. Hannah (L.
