Leg Shot OH.
An accident occurred last Sunday
forenoon at the home of John' Lip-
trap , ten miles east of Gordon , which
resulted in Jas. Gregg , son of Mrs.
Ellen Gregg , becoming a cripple for
life. The particulars as related to ,
us are as follows : The Gregg boys
had gone to the home of Wm. Lip-
trap , about four miles distant from
their o-.vn home , Sunday forenoon , to
go huncing. The boys were getting
their guns in readiness and Wm. Lip-
trap had just inserted a shell in hi
gun , an old-fashioned "zulu , " and was
letting the hammer down , when the
gun was accidentally discharged , the
contents entering the right leg of
young Gregg who was standing near ,
just below the knee , completely shat
tering the bones and severing the ar
teries. Gordon Journal.

I. the undersigned , have made a

find and am perfectly satisfied that
there is no real or just cause for the
rumors. Therefore I desire that
these rumors be stopped , under pen
alty of the law for public slander.

Visit to Crcokston.
The editor made a trip to Crook-
ston. last Saturdaj' , and became bet
ter acquainted with the people of our
neighboring village on the west. "We
had always supposed that Crookston
possessed a larger population than it
really does , but we must say that for
the number of people it contains the
town does a bigger business than am *
place we have ever before visited.
Max Viertel , who carries an adver
tisement with us , is postmaster , and
easity does the biggest business in
town. He carries a fine line of gen
eral merchandise in a neat steel-sided
store building , and on account of his
energetic business methods is making
a nice lot of money. Mrs. McDonald
owns a large stone store building and
a fine 11-room hotel , which when fur
nished will materially increase her
income. The Searby boys also run a
neat little store in a new stone build
ing and seem to be prosperous. In ad
dition to these , C. F. Carson does the
local blacksmith work : A. A. Johnson
looks after tlie spiritual welfare of
the people , and the railroad employs
two section foremen. F. M. Baum-
gartel represents the "moneyed
class' ' of the village , and from what
we can learn is doing a nice business.
Crookston's one great ambition seems
to be the hope that some day tne In
dian freight depot will be moved there
from Valentine , as thev claim to be
10 miles nearer the Agency than we
are , and have better roads. In fact
the residents now say that after Jan
uary 1st all freight will be hauled
from their town The principal trade
of the town is with Indians , although
many farmers make it their trading
point , and if the town continues to
improve more will do so. The 6nly
society is the Modern Woodmen and
its auxiliary , the Degree of Honor ,
and these lodges Own their hallwhich
was formerly a grain elevator or
warehouse.

Death of Charley Sirickland.
Died , Monday nijjht about 8:30 at
the Palace Saloon , Charles Strick
land , aged 55 years , of heart failure-
"Strick'5 was born in Arkansas , but
at an early age went to Texas , where
he worked on the range , coming north
to Yankton as early as 1877 , shortly
after going to Niobrara City and then
to the old McCann ranch , west of this
place. When Valentine was organ
ized he entered into business here ,
running a dance hall and later a big
Saloon. At this time he was reputed
to be quite wealthy , but being "easy"
in disposition he soon lost his money.
For the last few years he has been
cooking for various outiits , returning
from Rosebud a couple of weeks ago.
Strickland was known to almost ev
erybody in the northwest , and having
neither kith nor kin , except one son
who is working near Chamberlain , his
funeral was held from Davenport's
undertaking rooms , the Rev. Oastler
conducting the services in the pres
ence of a large number of friends.
The deceased was not a church mem
ber , nor even a moral man , but when
they thought of his many good deeds
and excellent traits of character , his
friends brushed tears from their eyes
and said : "I would rather have old
'StrickV chances than those of many
so-called Christians.5
