Wilson , of Georgia , a little town 23 miles west of Valen tine on the Northwestern , died Sunday morning , June 27 , 1903 , about 9 o'clock' , from injuries caused by a horse kicking him on the right side just above the hip on Saturday morning previous. Mr. Wilson had gone to his stable where he kept a stallion that he had re cently purchased of H. S. Savage , and probably not knowing the horse very well was taken un awares. The horse being nervous and excited kicked him when com manded to "stand over. " Mr. Wilson had placed his hand on the horse's hip saying "stand over" when the horse kicked him and as he staggered backward fell uncon scious at the back of the stable and was picked up by a man and boy who. were near and carried into the house. Almost immediately the son Seward mounted a horse and / rode to Crookston where he tele phoned for Dr. Compton who went up on the morning freight and stayed until the Sunday morning passenger came through and re turned again taking C. H. Cornell with him Sunday morning but ar rived two hours after his death. Mr. Wilson was well known in this part of the county and the news of his being-kicked and sub sequent death spread out over this sparsely settled country until neighbors and friends for miles around were notified and came to attend his funeral which was con ducted from the residence in Geor gia at 3 o'clock Monday. Rev. Holsclaw was called from Valen tine to preach the funeral sermon , and also Rev. Lyons , of Crooks- ton , was there to assist with the services. Members of the M. W. A. Camp of Valentine were pres ent to act as pall bearers and pay the last tribute of love and respect to the departed brother. Neigh bors for twenty miles around were there to bid adieu to the generous , always cheerful and good hearted Billy Wilson as he was known far and wide. It was a solemn hour as we stood beside him for the last time. There were many sorrowing hearts , 300 or more , in the house and surrounding it standing with uncovered .heads IB reverence to the departed brother who was near and dear to every person. William A. Wilson was born in Hannibal , K Y. , Feb. 2 , 1863 , came to Cherry county in April 1884 : and settled on the farm he owned at the time of his .death 8 miles south of Georgia. He - re turned to New York in Sept. of 'Si and was married to Miss Nina V. Henthorn , Dec. 16 , 18S4 and in March the following year returned to Cherry county with his wife where they have since resided , the past five years in Georgia. Five children , his wife and his aged father survive him and will be sad dened by his death. His mother died a year ago. His father , Jas. G. Wilson now past 70 years of age , is yet strong and has made his home with the family'of his son since his wife's death. The oldest child , Carrie M. , had been attend ing the Junior Normal until called to the bedside of her father last Saturday. The deceased was a member of the M. E. church since Dec. 1890 and for seven years past had been an active member of the Modern Woodmen of America in which order he carried § 3000 insurance. Those present at the funeral from the M. W. A. of Valentine were : M. V. Nicholson , James Galloway , C. S. Reece , A. M. Morrissey and I. M. Rice. Misses Inez Pettycrew , Emma Carlson and Mary Cumbow drove up in a buggy to attend the funeral and assisted Rev. Lyons with the sing ing.

E. church next Sunday will be , "The Clouded and Unclouded Vision. " Evening , "The signs of the Times. " Miss Edith Pettycrew returned yesterday morning from Hot Springs , S. D. Mrs. W. A. Pet tycrew remained there and will be joined by her daughter andMrs. . J. E. Pettycrew. We hope chivaris or hold up parties are a thing of the past in Valentine. Everyone who gets married should refuse to contribute to a hold up by the boys who think they have something coming. A. S. Graeff , of Britt , called last Friday and handed us a couple of plunks on subscription which puts him in advance on our list. He thinks corn is growing slow this year which is no doubt due to the cool weather. Harry H. Landon and Miss Net tie Johnson , both of Valentine , were quietly married at the home of Rev. S. W. Holsclaw in this city Monday evening , the Rev. Holsclaw officiating. They expect to make their home in Denver , Colo. , Mr. Landon's former home before coming here. THE DEMO CRAT extends congratulations. J. A. Kirkwood , a nephew of Ex Sec. of the Interior during Garfield's administration , returned with his company of friends from a trip down in Gregory county , S. D. , last week. They started from here and after camping on the Nio. brara the first night stopped at old Curly Huggins' the second day where they were royally enter tained. The third night camped on Mastodon creek and the next day while on the way to Bonesteel they had the misfortune to run in to a rut on the old government trail and broke every spoke in the right hind wheel which caused them to camp again while the other wagon went on into Bonesteel and got the wheel filled. 'At Bonesteel they run onto our old friend Ed Blakey , the genial stock inspector Si of S. D. Stock Association who 1 told Mr. Hudson to keep an eye I on his horses as there were rustlers in the country. They went from Bonesteel to Fairfax , t thence to Naper , to Boxburg and Mills where thsy saw the finest store since leaving Valentine and saw the fin- sst farming" country the sun ever shone on. From tlfere they re- | burned to Curly Huggins' place and were again more royally enter tained than before. They were taken out to see his bunch of 400 fine cattle that were enclosed in a 23 mile pasture fence. From there the company returned home sorry that the trip was not longer. Mr. Kirkwood will make his home this summer with Sam Hudson at liis ranch near Simeon. 49 w f Ji 43 I * - < * } * M 4 ? 4 ? Ladies' One Strp Slippers .
