' 17 Mrs. Scott Wheeler , a sister to Mrs. Dunham , is here on a visit from Denison , Iowa. Enoch Anders and Ed Long came up from Brownlee this week to transact business at the land office. Mr. Anders made us a pleasant call. Jesse Gorsuch and wife , of New ton , came up the first of the week and visited at M. Dunham's. Miss Edith Dunham came up with them. llobert Grooms drove in last week from' near Newton where he has been worlung for J. H. Quigley - ley and Clyde liosseter in the hay fields. There was a prohibition conven tion held at Bethel hall last Satur day. We did not get a report of what they did as it seemed to be something of a secret. Paul Charbonneau called last Friday and set his subscription an other year ahead. Pie will move to town this week to engage with his father in the blacksmith shop. He has been quite busy of late with his .stock and getting ready to move to town. Julius Schromm attended the fair at Norden last week and said that it was good though not a large crowd was in attendance. An Ainsworth boy riding a horse in one of the races had his right foot pretty badly cut on a wire fence by his horse running away with him. him.J. J. K. Watson arrived in due time with his merry-go-round and shooting gallery. The former is located just north of the old court house , and the latter on the vacant lot north of Mcltendorff's saloon. They attract great crowds of people ple each night and day. The little folks are having high times and some of the old gray headed ones seem to enjoy the merry-go-round. Some miscreant shot into W. W. Daniels house , near the mill dam , last Thursday evening between 4 and 5 o'clock , tearing a big hole in the end of the building and the load going through a mattress and bed doing considerable damage. This may have been accidental but whoever it was should be honest enough to confess if it was , other wise if he is found out he will be dealt with severely , as Mr. Daniels proposes to do something with the party if it was not an accident and lie thinks it was not. The shoot ing was clone with a shotgun. A letter from John Foster , of Dawson , Nebr. , tells us that he is getting along nicely , though he recently had the misfortune to have his thumb sawed off in a buzz saw leaving it hanging by a smal 1 strip of the skin. He had a doctor sew it back onlancl it is now healed up but says it is numb and tender yet. On Thursday , the 17th ult. , while driving his team to a wagon with dump boards for hauling dirt , the boards being wet slid forward striking the team and to save him- elf jumped and struck on the back of his head and back , cutting a gash in his head four inches long. The doctor being on hand , sewed it up and he says he is now humping around with a lame back and a sore I From the Cody Cow Boy , J. W. Mann was at Valentine last Thursday to look over samples for an extensive line of holiday goods. The Cody hotel changed hands Sunday noon , L. J. Cearns going out and J. M. Collins , of Valentine , taking possession. Under the new management the hotel has thus far given general satisfaction and we believe it will continue so. L. J. Ce arns and family left- Tuesday for Hot Springs , where they expect to make their future home. They have been residents of Cody for several years and their many friends join in extending to them the best wishes for their con tinued prosperity in their new home. The children will enter the Hot Springs schools. From the Gordon Journal. Mrs. Joseph Morrison died last Saturday , Sept. 19 , 1903 , at tfie Gordon hotel , of which her hus band is proprietor. She was born in the territory of Dakota April 10 , 1870 , her father being a French man and early settler in the terri tory. The remains were interred /it the mission on Eosebud reserva tion on the following Monday. She leaves a husband and a daugh ter about one month old. Frank Coombs , a young man who went through Gordon the lat ter part of last week to Pine Ridge Agency , shot himself at that place Sunday. The reason for the aefc is given that when he was younger he was struck on the head with a monkey wrench , and at times since has been mentally unbalanced , and at such a time it is supposed the sad affair occurred. His father owns a small ranch south of the ranch of W. A. Denny , and came up here to look after the burial of his son and brought the remains to Gordon Wednesday , and they were interred in the Gordon ceme tery Thursdaj * . Little Crens Honnds © rowncd in a Water Tank at .E. Stilwcll's Place. A sad accident occurred last Sun day afternoon about 2 o'clock. Mrs. J. C. Rounds has been visit ing her parents , E. Stilwell and wife , for the past couple of months. Mr. Rounds was in town the Jat- part of the week and on Sunday was on his way out to see his wife and children , a boy having been born to them a few weeks ago. The little girl had gone out to play it is thought as she had been gone only ten minutes when she was missed. She had fallen into the water tank near the house which was only partly filled with Water bub she was drowned before anyone reached her and ail attempts failed to revive her. She was buried near the house and her grave was nicely decorated with flowers. It will be kept green by her mother and her people. A large number of friends assembled to pay the last tribute of love and respect fur the loved one departed. Rev. Clark , the presbyterian minister , conduct ed the funeral on account of the absence of the Episcopal minister. Walter Meltendorff and wife , C. H. Cornell and T. C. Hornby went out from town. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hounds have the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of their lit tle girl.
