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.

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 * .

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.
