DICKINSON, STARK COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1915. VOL. XXXIII. NO. 17. JOHN FENHELL OIESJATURDAY LONG TIME RESIDENT SUC- CUMBS TO TUBERCULOSIS AFTER SEVERAL YEARS' ILLNESS. Son of James Fennell, Dickinson Pio- neer. Brother of Mrs. P. Sexton. Body Sent to Old Home at Elmira, N. Y. John J. Fennell died at the hospital Saturday morning, June 12, at seven o'clock of tuberculosis. Mr. Fennell was born in Elmira, N. Y., about fifty-four years ago and was the son of James .Fennell, a pioneer and long-time resident of this city. John Fennell was married in the east and came to Dickinson some thirty years ago, where he was em- ployed on the railroad as conductor. His son, Charles, and daughter, Alice, were born here. The daughter died when about ten years of age and the son, an electrician, is married and lives in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Fennell moved from Dickinson to Pocatello, Idaho, where the wife died. Mr. Fennell then came back. He also went east for a time but the Elmira climate was too damp for him aqd.fce returned to Dickinson several years ago. Jphn Fennell had beien tubercular for six orseven years and unable to do much work.. About a month ago he. moved into the smaller Leonberger building,, whfcre two rooms, upstairs were fitted up for him. He was; made very comfortable and was delighted with his home there. Wednesday morning of last week he had a hem- orrhage from the -lungs.and in the afternoon another. Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Leonberger and M. H. Lins- . ley cared for him, Mr. Linsley remain- ing with him. Fr. Dignam also visited him., Friday he was refiioved to the hospital. He suffered another hemorr- hage that night, yet, notwithstanding this, he passed a restful night and seemed very happy. Early Saturday morning another hemorrhage occurred and. the .end . came soon after. . Hi? death wasbeautifu}. He liad al- ways' been a most faithful member of the Catholic church and a constant at- tendant upon its services. iJarly Sat- urday" morning Fr. Dignam adminis- tered the last sacraments. Mr. Fen- nell paid, "I know the end is near; my;time has come; but I am happy and; it is best." The remains were sent to Elmira, N. If., for burial in the family lot. Of his own family who came here in the early eighties there are now living: Mike, who resides in Portland; Maggie—Mrs. P. Sexton—who is now in the east ; Nellie—Mrs. D. Mc Carty—of Elmira; and Mary—Mrs. Powfr. The Fehnells erected the house how owned by W. N. Poor, and a large store' building—burned in the early nineties—on the site of the candy shop and Star restaurant. They, also had extensive land^ interests south which are sjtill a part''of 'the Fennell estate. A DICKINSON M LEADS LAW CLASS B. O. Angell of this city, who gradu- ates ;this week from the law depart- ment of the state university, has been awarded the American Law Book Company's prize given annually to the sienior having the highest scholas- tic record for the three years' work in the; department. He will also receive the Blackstone Institute prize for the highest r.ecord for the senior year's work. The prize given annually by the American Law Book Company con- sists of a completei set of tne-Encyclo- pedia of Law, and the Blackstone prize is a set of Modern American Law.

ANY CAR CAN RUN ON THE RED TRAIL O M / N / tSOULA •MUM / WUANO MMCONO ALBANY f 04/&*U, —'1 i t-.-— MCM3TE MICH tW YOflK IOWA / jtno \W tuw * j^« £ai P5f!SSSSbM site gMOMS COLO 1 SACK SAHSV MANCISC Nothing but praise is heard for the Red Trail from the many Autoists passing through the city east and west. Motorists who have followed it all the way from New York and those who come by the Red line east from Seattle all agree that it is a wonder- ful route. We have yet to hear any trawler with a kick coming or one who found any serious difficulty. It does not matter what car one drives, all make good on the Red Trail, and a trail that can make good when rain is fal- ling every day must surely be some Trail. The Medora bridge over the Little Missouri,, which was planned for early in the spring by the National Parks Highway Association, seems now practically assured in the near future, and the officers of the Red Trail are jubilant over their success in this matter. While the present transfer of cars by the N. P. is safe and quite expeditious, the bridge will obviate any delav and complete the Coast to Coast line. Medora is vitally interested and her enthusiasts are showing their interest in a substantial manner. G. N. Keniston, the financial agent of the Red Trail, spent a portion of Tuesday at Medora and from his rec- ords we glean that the pledges of the boosters, both before his visit and on Tuesday amount to the tidy sum of over one thousand dollars in individual subscriptions. Medora people feel that their limit has not been reached yet, and when their list is complete, it will show a splendid round sum. The county of Billings also will do the handsome thing for this "missing link" in the great National Highway. Dickinson has come up with $2,000 in good pledges and if the other cities and towns along the Red Trail do as well, the officers will ask for bids very soon and the bridge be in place by early fall. Mr. Keniston is making a snappy, quick and wide-awake campaign for a wide-awake live-wire enterprise, and it is hoped the several towns will greet him enthusiastically and donate generously for the Little Missouri bridge. DICKINSON LOST GAME GLENDIVE HAS FINE TEAM The ball game oft the 13th in the local ; park was "iron fxpm the locals by Glendive by a scort. of it to 0.. However, it was a good game at that, the visiting play era. getting :their first run, in the 5th on a wild throw Aid nothing more until the 9th, when they picked up the three other runs. * Gardner and Wasem did not get the support they needed. Costly errors in the 8rd and 4th made it look as thousrh the visitors were going to score easily but Gardner trailed the Dickinson playerstout of both these tight places. : Glendive fca^/played eight hard g unes this season before coming to ickinson, while itfth the locals it was really their fi&t. or second game. Then too, the visitors had just been re-inforced by Dyer, left fielder, and Elder, the Jamestown short stop. Elder is certainly as snappy a. short stop as is seen with the best teams. Goldrick is a fine pitcher and our boys had difficulty in finding him. In the last of the 9th it looked good for Dickinson for a time. Davis Struck safe for first, . while Leslie Wasem and Wm. McCutchan both took their bases on balls. However, the Glendive boys tightened up and it was all over, the score remaining 4 to 0. The line up was as follows: Dickinson Glendive McCutchan If Dyer Robinson 2b Foss Morris Wasem rf Hanson Korsin ss Elder Kronschnable cf Ham, Davis lb Thrasher Lelsie Wasem c Nelson Gardner p Goldrick Attorney H. J. Blanchard and Lewie Kostelecky umpired and gave general satisfaction. The game was called off on Satur- day on iaccount of the rain, but the grounds were drying out so nicely Sunday morning that our players recalled their previous decision and sent word to the Glendive players to come down on . No. 2, which they did, returning on No. 7. On the 20th the Dickinson team will play at Mandan, using the same men as here the week before. It is pos-: sible, however, that Vernon Mc- Cutchan will go alpng with the boys. : The local team will go to Killdeer or. July 8. It is likely that a large number of Dickinson people will ac- company the players for she game at the new town north. Mandan comes to Dickinson for a game on the 4th of July. During the Elk Home Coming week—July 6 to 10—-there will, be a series of ball feamies at Dickinson. fine flNNI Dickinson is to be congratulated on the record her high school graduates made at the State University. Richard Watt Johnson, who received the. degree of "Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering" at his gradua- tion Wednesday has been awarded a fellowship by lie University of Utah with a salary of $720. This is of- fered by the School of Mines and is a great honor to the boy who wins it and also to the University of N. D. Myrtle Mary Parker won a special certificate on commercial subjects and a regular Normal teacher's certificate. Joice C. Scarf, special honors in Latin. Bernard O. Angell, as noted else- where, won the American Law Book Co. prize for the highest standing in three years' law work and also the Blackstone Institute prize for the highest average for senior year. All these students graduated from the Dickinson high school under Supt. P. S. Berg and they are surely mak- ing good. E WEDDII ENGEL-CLIFTON the Congregational parsonage ^ afternoon, June 13, at half- v« • o'clock .occurred. tjie. mar- riage of T. G. Clifton of Mary, N. D., and Jlisa, Minnie .Eilgel, formerly of Rochester, Minnesota, And . the past eight months a resident of this city. Rev. A.: C, Hacke performed the mar- riage ceremony in the presence , of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Davidson and Master Willis and Miss Johanna Fri- heimer. The bride was handsomely gowped in a stylish suit of'white Palm beach cloth, and wore a picture hat of white panama. The purewhite/vyas most becoming to her dark beauty and she was a most charming bride. Mr. Clifton, who is a brother of Mrs. R. S. Davidson, came from' Roch- ester, Minnesota, two vears ago and settled in- the Mary country, where another brother also resides. He has a fine farm and has a large crop in wjuch gives promise of a most bounteous harvest. He and his bride have known each other for years, their acquaintance dating from the residence of both in Rochester. Mrs. Clifton came to Dickinson last October to visit Mrs. Davidson for a few weeks. In November she accept- ed a position in Reed Bros.' store, re- maining with this firm until last Fri- day night. Mr. and Mrs. Clifton, though plan- ning to keep their plans a secret in Dickinson, were generously remem- bered by gifts from friends here and friends and relatives in their old home. Tuesday morning they left for their home at Mary, taking with them the good wishes of all their friends. OHLFS-MARK Edwin Everett Ohlfs and Miss Rosa Mark were' united in the !*>rrds of matrimony on June 12 by Rev. Fr. John Dignam. Mr. Ohlfs is bill clerk for the North- ern Pacific at Dickinson, having been in the employ of the company about three years. He is one of Agent Cooper's trusted men, having filled the position of night ticket agent and baggageman during the absence of the regular men while on vacations last season, Mr. Ohlfs not having been advanced to his present position at the time. • .. Mrs. Ohlfs is a highly respected Dickinson girL Mr. and Mrs. Ohlfs have rooms at the Hoist home, where they will do light housekeeping. Their many friends are extending hearty con- gratulations. MEISNER-ZANTOW The marriage of Grover A. Meisner and Miss Sopha E. Zantow was sol- emnized by Rev. A. C. Hacke at the Congregational Church parsonage on June 12. The contracting parties were attended by Cashier Alfred O. Christenseri and Miss Lila Gleeson of Fryburg, coming down on No. 8. Mr. Meisner is manager of the Martin elevator at Fryburg and is a youn- man who stands high in the community. The bride is an accom- plished young lady, who had just fin- ished a successful term as assistant principal in the Belfield high school. The couple left on No. 2 on a brief wedding trip to Minnesota and Wis- consin points. SCHEELER-BOOKY Frank ~ Scheeler and Miss Tillie Booky of this city were united in marriage by Rev. Fr. Schulte on June 15 at St. Joseph's church. After the marriage ceremony the happy young couple went to the Scheeler store building, where the groom's mother had arranged for a time of merry making. Of late years Mr. Scheeler has been engaged in the horse business. Both have a large circle of admiring friends. here by the middle of next week. This tower will be 154 feet in height up to the roof and the latter will add quite a little to the elevation. The big mill elevator is 117 feet in height so that the new tower will be thirty-seven feet higher, and Mana- f er Davidson plans to put a 20-foot ag pole on top from which will wave a large Occident pennant. This will be a conspicuous landmark, vis- ible at a considerable distance when approaching the city in any direction. A pump with a capacity of 1,000 gallons a minute, is being installed in the mill basement for fire protection. The mill sprinkling system proper will not be put in before August and the mill will be shut down a few days for this work. ERECT! WATER TOWER With two men away on their vaca- tion, Manager R. S. Davidson of the Russell-rMiller 4 Milling Co, is a very busy man these days, especially as the work preliminary to installing the new sprinkling system, is under way. An underground reservoir with a capacity of 100,000 gallons is being constructed under the road-way south of .the jnill and will be covered with re-inforced cement so that the drive around - on ^that side will not be per- manently disturbed. CloBe.by will be the 40,000gallon capacity steel water tower. The construction crew is now working on the Mandan tower and Manager Davidson expects them , WESTERN CARTOONIST — • A. ' Albert Dressier, hailing from San Francisco and en route to New York, blew in Tuesday with one of the num- erous rain clouds that were sweeping east from the Rockies. But rain had no terrors for Dressier. He was dressed for it and though he says he was once a tailor—who would dream it now! Dressier is a cartoonist and he carries in his bulging sockets on one side copies of a very clever book of his own cartoons entitled "San Francisco in 1915." On the other side are loads of newspaper interviews and sketches for the funny book "On My Merry Way" which is to come out this fall and exploit among other things, the Northen Pacific and the towns along the "Pioneer" line. Dressier had just spent an hour at lunch when we saw him, yet he was hungry still and always returning to the subject of "eats." In St. Paul he is to be photographed with an im- mense Northern Pacific baked potato under his chin. For the success of the picture we hope he gets filled up before then. came. Although the mother refused to five up hope, every one else be- lieved him dead, some thinking that possibly he had met with foul play on the way. About a month ago H. A. Hogue, the brother of this city, received a letter which cleared up the mystery. Lew, after a silence of 27 years, de- cided it was about time to drop his relatives a line. It was learned that he had enlisted in the regular U. S. army and had had adventure to his heart's desire, having been in China during the Boxer uprising and in.the Philippines during the Spanish-Ameri- can war. For the last year he has been in a hospital in San Francisco, with an injured limb. He served in the U. S. army about twenty-five years. His friends, although sorry for his misfortune, are glad that they have located him at last. THEY BELIEVE IN FOG Those who believe in winter fog sign for summer are able to figure out in fine shape this year. Soules & Butler kept tab last winter and find that about 90 days after a heavy fog there is a rain. They had the right date for the June 11 and 12 rains and have more scheduled for about June 20 and some for early July. W. A. McClure has also made a record as a weather prophet. He noted a heavy fog in February and marked up on the P. A. Moir build- ing that there would be rain on the 12th and there was and lots of it. MEN WANTED SAVE MONEY! HELP THE COMMITTEE The committee having in charge the sale of tickets for Chautauqua and the location of grounds is composed of W. L. Richards, chairman, J. C. F. Parker, W. T. Nickel, George Senour, John Berringer, William McFarland and E. H. Knapp. To get the 50 cent discount on season tickets they must be pur- chased before noon, Sunday, June 27; and if the sale of a season ticket is to count on the $800 guarantee made by Dickinson parties, it must be pur- chased before Chautauqua opens. Therefore to save 50 cents on the ticket and to help the local people out, everybody in town and out should buy in advance. Tickets can be had by writing to W. L. Richards or any member of the above committee and they will be on sale at several of the business houses. H. A. HOGUE LOCATES LONG LOST BROTHER <LT isagSjl 4 " The story circulating in the city f apers concerning the long lost Lew Togue, brother of H. A. Hogue of this city, has very little of the ele- ments of truth in it. According to H. A. Hogue the facts are as follows: ! Lew possessed a decidedly adven- turous nature and even as a boy 1 , showed a marked desire for going out into the world. Late in the 80's he left his home in Indiana and went west, coming as far as Foster county, in this state. After a year or so, hav- ing made a visit home, he started west again. All trace of him was lost at Chicago. Tears passed by and still no word There is equipment in the Dickin- son armory for 65 militia men but we lack members. The equipment is practically the same as that issued to the regular army. The armory has as good a drill floor as any in the state and is equipped with a good indoor range and a gymnasium. The indoor range can be used all winter. The outdoor range is just out of town and the government furnishes the amun- nition. The officers and non-commissioned officers are ready and willing to in struct to the best of their ability, those who join. Every other year the camp is held outside the state. This year it will be held at Devils Lake, where the state has a splendid reservation. Th< Chautauqua grounds are only 10 min- utes' walk from camp and there is good swimming and boating. The government and the state have co-operated to make it possible for young men to receive the foundation of a military training with a mini- mum expenditure of time—ten days a year in camp and an average of one hour a week spent in drill and rifle practice. Those desiring to enlist should do so at once. Apply at the armory Monday night at 7:30. COMH E JULY {-10 ELKS HAVE PROGRAM OF FUN AND FROLIC AND JOLLY GOOD FELLOWSHIP THAT WILL MAKE THE SLOPK KIN. High Class Attractions and Plenty of Them All tHe Week. Alces En- tertain Visiting Ladies.

They left Dick- inson on the 12th of last November, promg via Butte and Salt Lake City, making their first stop in California at the L. R. Lothrop home in San Bernadino. Two weeks later they went to San Diego, where they spent the winter, some four months. Mr. and Mrsi. Cunningham provided themselves with warm comfortable rooms, where they rested at night, spending the day time entirely out of doors as they had planned on doing before they left home. They had many delightful side trips, saw many Dickinson people and enjoyed every day of their sojourn in sunny Cali- fornia. The San Diego exposition ^founds, they say, are magnificent and have to be seen to be appreci- ated. About 15 days were spent at San Francisco and these Dickinson people are high in their praise of the North Dakota Exposition building which they say is very practical and a fine advertisement for' our state. Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham spent seven weeks in the Puget Sound country, but the damp weather of Ta- coma and Seattle- did not agree with them very well. • The Fred Rau hen- ery, one of the largest in the world, was visited. The Cotas were seen at Portland ; and former Stark county families at other points and all ana all their winter's trip was as enjoy- able as any person could wish. G. N. KENISTON, Financial Agent for the Red TraiL F LASTS 24 The heaviest 24-hour rain since about 1905 visited Dickinson and vi- cinity last Friday night and Saturday when 2.20 inches fell. The precipita" tion was general throughout North • i? ® was not quite as heavy in the eastern part of the state as around here. In Montana the rain Dak^as" heayiei ' in P ,aces than in the Up to June' 15, the rainfall amount- ed to 3.81 inches, 2.82 inches being normal for. the entire month. This makes a total precipitation of 8.50 in- ches up to June 15. Normal for the nrst 6 months of the year, or to July lu I? inches. So it will be seen that the rainfall to the middle of 18 an inch above the normal for the first six months of the year. It is also noted that 7.48 inches of mois- t « Q rtng_ the months of May and June, at a time when most bene- ficial to crops. ft„is floor time for corn but all small <nadns 4ndrgrass never looked HnT season of the year. The geVernriiehfc' gauge at Diclrin- ®° n indicated a half degree of frost for the night of June 14, and the fol- lowing night 2 • degrees. So far as known very little damage resulted from this slight frost. J i '! .
