W. E. Case , of Pullman , was in
the city Monday. He expected to
be a witness in a case which was
dismissed but had business here
and came just the same.
It is impossible to mention all
the people who are in town this
week attending court and other
business , but suffice it to say that
the town is pretty well filled up
and the court room has been well
filled .
Sttrs. "Louise Eansbottom of
Lima , Ohio , arrived here Thurs
day to visit her brother , C. W.
Cramer and family , a part of whom
she has not seen for 28 years , but

Quite a number of Valentine

Lem. B. Parker's scenic sur
prise , "The Hand of Man" is the
offering at Valentine Opera House ,
Tuesday , Nov. 28. It is said that
thrilling climaxes and sensational
scenes abound , which keep the
audience in a state of excitement
from the rise to the fall of the last

woven an interesting storyaround

New York the most cosmopolitan
city in the world.

A W. C. T. U. social was held
in Bethel hall Tuesday evening
which was well attended , there
being such a crowd as to make it
hard to get around. One of the
prominent * features was a baby
show. A dozen babies were on
exhibiton and the whole crowd
voted their choice for the prettiest
and the most popular bady. The
votes were pretty well scattered
but Mrs. Mai Jeffers' baby was
declared the prettiest and John
Simpson's baby , which is being
cared for by Mrs. Bivens , the most
popular. It was a. jolly crowd and
the social was in the nature of a
fair or rummage sale in booths , al
so candy , popcorn , coffee and eat
ables at a lunch counter. Mrs.
Moon was in charge of the baby
contest.
SIFrs. Dora Yiola Pcttycrew
! > 3 ? s of Typhoid Fever.
Dora Viola Fowler Pettycrew
was born in Calhoun county , la. ,
Sept. 24 , 1886 , came to Cherry
county with her parents , Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Fowler , three years
Liter , and , when almost a young
lady , the family moved to Great
Falls , Mont. , returning a year
ago last spring and again took up
their residence in Cherry county.
During the time the family lived
in Great Falls , Mont. , Miss Dora
improved the opportunity of at
tending school and secured a good
education and took up stenographic
work in which she became an ef
ficient operator , and , upon her re
turn to Valentine , worked in W.
E. Haley's office for several
months previous to her marriage
to Clyde R. Pettycrew , which oc
curred Sept. 7 , 1905. Her subse
quent death on Nov. 15 , 1905 , was
due to typhoid fever after a short
illness , though-she had not been
feeling well the past summer and
only took to her bed the last two
weeks of her illness.
A large crowd collected on short
notice to pay their last tribute of
respect to the little girl that we
knew in childhood and was ever as
a ray of sunshine , a flower in
youth and beauty , plucked by the
cruel hand of death. Why should
it be ?
She leaves a husband , her father
and mother , brothers and sisters
and a hundred relatives , alt of
whom loved this little girl almost
as their own lives. They weep
for her and mourn her departure
from their midst. There are no
comforting words in occasions like
this. A father's .joy , a mother's
pride , a husband's companion has
been rudely taken away from them.
Let us hope that some time we
may understand God's ways and
be prepared to meet our loved
ones.
