Frankie Gasho was born near Atlanta, Ind., Aug. 29th, 1887. He was the fifth of
nine boys. In the spring of 1900 the family moved to Foster Co, N.D. and in 1910
they moved to Trotters, N.D., 30 miles north of Beach. Frank following them in the
fall of the same year. He homesteaded near the parents’ home, and worked out in the
summer for different parties. On Wednesday Dec. 18th while at work with one of his
brothers excavating for a barn by the accidental bursting of a stick of dynamite which he held in his hand, he was so seriously injured that all medical aid proved without avail, and after nine days of intense suffering he died, Friday Dec. 27th. He was buried on the parent’s homestead, Sec. 14, T. 144, R. 105. The funeral services were conducted at the home of the parents Sunday afternoon Dec. 29th, at two o’clock, Rev. F. W. Gress of the Beach M. E. church preaching the sermon to a large congregation. The deceased leaves to mourn his loss six brothers, three sisters, his aging parents upon whom the affliction falls heavily, also many friends and acquaintances who knew him as a quiet reserved young man trying to do a man’s part at whatever he undertook. He had no bad habits which so often seriously reflect on a young man’s character. The Advance extends condolences to the bereaved relatives.

- - - - -
Colonel J. B. Power, proprietor of the famous stock farm in northern Richland
county bearing his name, former land commissioner of the Northern Pacific, and
former president of the North Dakota Agricultural college, is dead at his farm.
Colonel Power was one of the foremost livestock men of the state and about the
earliest advocate of diversified and mixed farming. After his retirement from the
Northern Pacific, he took up ranch life and made it a great success. He was the
second president of the state agricultural college, serving between the time of
President Stockbridge and President Worst, now at the head of that institution.
J. A. Power, one of his sons, was manager of his big farm. One of his daughters is
the wife of Major Scott of the regular army, and another of L. T. Paige, formerly of

A Misrepresentation
- - - - -
A couple of weeks ago The Advance received two news items from Burkey,
announcements of the marriage of two very popular young couples in that locality.
These items were erroneous and were not sent in by our regular correspondent,
but were mailed to us with a request that we insert them in the Burkey news and
the name of a young man who resides near Burkey was signed to the letter of
request. When we traced the matter down however, it was found that the name
was forged, presumably by some practical joker, who did not realize the
seriousness of the offense. The names of the two gentlemen mentioned in the
locals were Chas. Doubles and Frank Schram and we sincerely regret the
publication of the items and would advise the party who sent the items in to be
more careful in the future about signing other people’s names to documents of
any kind.

Noted Jurist Is Dead
- - - - -
Father of Former Beach Educator Passed Away at Grand Forks
- - - - -
Judge Charles F. Templeton of the North Dakota supreme court, died at Grand
Forks, Friday of last week. It will be remembered that his daughter, Miss Maude
Templeton, was one of the teaches in the Beach city school last year. Following is a
brief history of the life of the distinguished jurist:
“Grand Forks, N.D., Jan. 3 - Judge Charles F. Templeton died in a local hospital at
6 o’clock this morning. While it was generally known in Grand Forks that he was
quite ill, the news will undoubtedly come as a shock to the people of the state. He
was 56 years of age.
Death was due to a complication of kidney trouble with which he has been
suffering for some time. He was taken to the hospital about a week ago.
He was born in Washington county, Vermont, June 21, 1856, and was a son of
Horatio and Rhoda (Folsom) Templeton, both of whom were natives of Vermont.
The father was engaged in farming and the general merchandise business and died in
Vermont in 1895, aged 76 years.
Mr. Templeton was reared and educated in his native state and attended Barre
Academy at Barre, Vt., and entered Dartmouth College in 1874, and was graduated
from that institution in 1878. He at once began the study of law at Montpelier, Vt.,
and was admitted to practice in December, 1880. During the same year he went to
Fargo and formed a partnership with Hon. B. F. Spaulding, which existed until July
1887, he having been appointed by Governor Church, attorney general for the
territory and he served until October, 1888, and then resigned to accept the judgeship
of the old Eight Judicial district, being appointed by Cleveland in October, 1888. He
was re-elected in 1889 and 1893, and continued on the bench until 1897. January 1,
1897, he resumed his practice at Grand Forks, having moved to that city in 1889.
He was again elected judge to succeed Judge Fish when the later went to the
supreme bench. Mr. Templeton was married in 1881 to Miss Edna C. Carleton, a
native of Vermont. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Templeton, named
as follows: Berth A., Maude R., Francis H. and Ruth C. Mr. Templeton is a member
of the Masonic fraternity.

Miss Lizzie Cutkay of Arcadia Wis., and Mr. John S. Schweigert of Alpha, N.
Dak., were united for life Tuesday morning, Jan. 7, 1913

light gray batiste, while the groom wore a suit of blue serge. After the ceremony a
bounteous wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride’s parents Mr. and Mrs.

The bride is a very popular young lady of Arcadia who had been teaching school
in the rural districts in this vicinity, but spent the past summer near Alpha, N.D. She
has a host of friends in and about Arcadia. The groom is a prosperous young farmer
of Alpha who we hope is worthy of the young lady he has chosen as his helpmate.
The young couple will spend a few days visiting with friends and relatives here
and at Minneapolis and other Western points before they return to their home at
Alpha.
The Leader joins their many friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Schweigert, joy and

A very sad death occurred in this city Friday morning, January 17th, when Mrs.
Winnefred Argall passed to the life beyond. Mr. and Mrs. Argall had been married
but three months and during all that time the deceased has been a very patient
sufferer from tubercular trouble. The devotion of the young husband was pathetic,
never leaving her bedside day or night until death relieved the suffered. Although
Mr. Argall realized that the patient was incurable yet the hope that always springs
from love predominated his nature and the best of skill that the medical fraternity
possessed was brought to bear upon the case. She was taken to the hospital at
Dickinson and thence to Mayo Brother’s hospital at Rochester, Minnesota. From the
latter place she was sent home to her loved ones to die. The deceased was a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. William McLaughlan of this city. The funeral occurred from St.
John’s Catholic church at this place Sunday last and the remains were laid to rest in
the Catholic cemetery south of town. A large number of people gathered at the
church to pay their last respects to the departed friend. The sympathy of all goes out
to the young husband who has been burdened with the greatest sorrow he has ever
known.

Little Baby Burned To Death Near Rocky Butte
- - - - -
Little Sixteen Month Old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Boyer Meets a Sudden Death
- - - - -
A deep shadow of sorrow has been cast over the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Boyer
of Rocky Butte their little sixteen month old daughter met a tragic end Monday by
being burned to death.
The details as we learned them are that Mrs. Boyer stepped out doors for a
moment to call her husband to dinner and when she returned to the house the little
one was in flames. The flames were quickly extinguished but they had claimed their
toll and the little one died a short time afterwards.
It is presumed that the babe was in the act of creeping under the stove after the pet
kitten and came into contact with the red hot stove which ignited her clothing.
The funeral was held in this city Wednesday and the remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery south of town.
The bereaved parents and relatives of the deceased have the sympathy of all in a
bereavement which indeed must be a heavy cross to bear.

Gone To Her Reward
- - - - -
Mrs. Ed Conlin Dies at the Beach Hospital After a Very Brief Illness
- - - - -
Mrs. Edward Conlin died at the Beach hospital, February 1, 1913, after a very brief illness of pneumonia.
Miss Lucy A. Mead was born at New Hartford, Iowa, February 22, 1873, and was
therefore nearly forty years of age at time of death. She was married to Edward Colin
at Waterloo, Iowa, June 2, 1897. Two living children, both girls, Frances H., aged
fourteen, and Dorothy M., aged seven, besides the bereaved husband survive her of
the immediate family. Two children, a boy and girl, died during infancy. She also
leaves an aged father at New Era, Oregon, besides three half brothers in the same
state. The remains left Beach Sunday evening for her childhood home, New
Hartford, Ia., for interment, accompanied by the husband and daughters.
Mr. and Mrs. Colin came to the Golden Valley in the fall of 1910, from Champlin,
Minnesota, and immediately went to a farm which he had leased south of this city,
where they have since lived. While their residence here has been of comparatively
short duration, yet both of them number their friends by their number of
acquaintances and these were indeed shocked at the report of her sudden and
untimely death. She had not been well for several weeks, but nothing serious was
encountered until pneumonia attacked her only two days before her death.
Everything possible was done to stay the disease, but to no avail. Mrs. Conlin was a
person of more than the ordinary ability, strong in her likes and dislikes, and had a
capacity for making and holding warm, personal friends. Her home was the ideal of
her heart and too much could not be done by her for its inmates. While it seems
impossible to find an excuse for her untimely taking away, yet we must humbly bow
to the will of Him who “Doeth all things well for those who love Him.”
Sincere and deep sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband and motherless
girls in this their deepest hour of personal sorrow.

Frozen To Death
- - - - -
Dickinson, N.D., Feb. 17 -
While riding to town a rancher out from Oakdale found three letters laying on the
side of the road, farther on a pocketbook was picked up and not far from this the body
of a woman was found near the road. On examination he found the body was frozen
and was Mrs. Ucelia Brooks, whose home was about three miles from there.
Mrs. Brooks was the mother of W. P. Brooks of Manning and was living on her
claim out from Oakdale, by herself. The letters were unstamped and the belief is that
she started to the James Fenton place where she usually left her mail. From the dates
on the letters which were Jan. 24, the body must have been on the road at least ten
days before found. Mrs. Brooks was dressed warmly and the conclusion is that she
must have become bewildered and got lost because she was in the opposite direction
from the Fenton place when found.

Died Among Strangers
- - - - -
Dying in the arms of strangers, with no familiar faces around her, and with her family
of loved ones far away, all unconscious of her illness, was the fate of Mrs. Dingwell
of Fayette, N. Dak., who passed away at the Beach Hospital Saturday last. She had
been working for a short time for a party at Sentinel Butte where she was taken
seriously ill of pneumonia and was brought to the hospital here Saturday. She died in
less than thirty minutes after being taken from the train to the hospital and was so
weak when she arrived at the hospital that the local physician who was called was
unable to find out who she was or where her relatives resided before the good lady
passed to the great Beyond. By some letters found in her suitcase it was discovered
that her relatives resided at Fayette and they were communicated with as soon as
possible. Her father James Walker and a daughter of the deceased, Miss Susan
Dingwell arrived from Fayette Tuesday and took the remains home for burial
Wednesday evening. The deceased is survived by six children, three boys and three
girls. Her death was a severe shock to the little children, more so perhaps because
they were not aware of the mother’s illness.

Arthur H. Lytle Met Death In Auto Accident
- - - - -
M. D. Sarver and Robert Wand Escaped With Slight Injuries
- - - - -
One of Beach’s Leading Citizens Was Instantly Killed Sunday When Automobile
Which He was Driving Turned Turtle, Pinning Him Underneath
- - - - -
Last Sunday A. H. Lytle took his automobile and went out west of this city a few
miles to look at some hay which he was about to purchase and when about four miles
from this city near the Emerson farm, on his return trip, the automobile struck a rut in
the road and broke off the front wheel, causing the machine to capsize, pinning Mr.
Lytle underneath, the steering wheel crushing in his chest, killing him instantly. He
was accompanied on his trip by Robert Wand and M. D. Sarver. Following is Mr.
Wand’s story of the accident:
“We were coming along the road near the old Emerson farm when we thought we
heard one of the tires burst. Mr. Lytle who was driving the car looked back toward
the hind tire to see whether or not the tire was down. The row of telephone posts are
very close to the road there and when Mr. Lytle turned again toward the front he
noticed that we were in great danger of striking one of the posts; he quickly turned
the machine and this proved fatal. The front wheels struck a slippery up grade,
slewed sideways, and broke off and the car tipped over. Mr. Sarver and myself were
in the back seat and when the car started to tip I jumped, the force of the car going
over threw me for some distance. This probably saved my life and undoubtedly saved
Mr. Sarver also, because Sarver was pinned underneath the car and Mr. Barclay who
was coming along the road with a team and saw the accident, quickly came to our
assistance but was unable alone to raise the car. The car was resting on Mr. Sarver’s
stomach and he could not have lived long in that position. I was unconscious when
Mr. Barclay first arrived but I soon regained consciousness and helped him raise the
car off of Mr. Sarver. We saw at once that Mr. Lytle, who was also under the car, was
dead. The steering wheel crushed in his chest and must have killed him instantly.”
Arthur H. Lytle was born at Medway, Wisconsin, March, 3, 1880, where he grew
into young boyhood. He graduated from the LaCrosse High School, after which he
went to Spring Valley, Wisconsin where he resided for some time. He was married at
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin on August 14, 1905 to Miss Minnie E. Firth. They
removed to Eckman, North Dakota where Mr. Lytle was engaged in the grain
business for three years after which the family removed to Beach and have resided
here ever since. The deceased is survived by his wife and two children, Owen aged 7
and Audrey age 5, besides his mother, one sister and five brothers. The brothers are
F. J. Lytle and D. L. Lytle of Miles City, Montana, Tom Lytle of Livingston, Montana,
M. B. Lytle of Assinobia, Canada and J. O. Lytle of Bowan. The mother and sister
Miss Lucy, reside at Miles City. The brothers and sister arrived here as soon as
possible after receiving the sad news of the death as did also Mrs. Lytle of Miles City
and Mrs. Cora Lytle, sister-in-laws of the deceased. Mrs. Lytle’s father, Mr. Firth and
her brother Edgar Firth arrived here Tuesday from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The
remains were shipped to Chippewa Falls Wednesday and will be interred in the
family lot there.
Many beautiful floral tributes from the Masonic order, the Beach Elks, the
Dickinson Elks, the Easter Star, the Maccabees, the Odd Fellows and the Modern
Woodman, were laid upon the casket as tokens of brotherly love, the deceased having
been a member of these societies. There were also floral wreaths from the grain man,
and the Beach Literary Society and also from many citizens of the town. Mr. Lytle
was honored and beloved by all.
We do not believe that we have ever been called to so hard a task as that writing of
the death of Mr. Lytle as he was one of our very closest friends and our sympathy
goes out to the widow and little children. With keen anguish and the deepest sorrow
she has ever known bearing heavily upon her with the strength and nobility of her
character, prompted by her great love for the little children which are now left alone
to her care. Mrs. Lytle is bearing up well under the terrible ordeal. The great shock
that came to the people of this community in learning the tragic death will be a sad
remembrance for years, but years and years after this shock has passed from the
community, the silent anguish and sorrow will be indelibly written upon the heart of
the young widow for she has received a wound that time can never heal. The
sympathy of all is extended to her, but all that we can do, all that we can say cannot
alleviate her sorrow or blot from her mind in the slightest degree, the memory of
the tragically death. But Mrs. Lytle is a brave woman. She has shown by her
fortitude that she is capable of bearing her grief in silence. That silent grief which
runs deep in the memory for aye. May the Good Lord strengthen her in the trying
months to come is our most ardent prayer.

“Nigger” Jones Was Drowned
- - - - -
Well Known Character of Alpha District Meets Death in Bullion Creek
- - - - -
Sentinel Butte Republican: Although the body had not yet been found when the
Republican went to press, it is recognized as a fact that “Nigger” Jones, as he was
commonly known in this locality, was drowned in Bullion Creek, near Alpha, twenty
miles south of here, on Monday. He was seen to ride his horse into the creek about
10 o’clock a.m. and when the animal started to swim, the rider left the horse and was
washed down the stream, while the animal swam ashore and galloped off. At the
time it was not known who the man was, but the horse was found to belong to Jones,
and as he had left home that morning and has not been seen since, it is taken for
granted that he was drowned.
The Bullion is usually a small stream, easily crossed at almost any point, but at
this time of the year it becomes a turbulent river, and has an exceedingly swift
current. About five years ago a man was drowned in the same vicinity while trying to
cross with a team and wagon.

“Billy Shean Dead”
- - - - -
The Sparta (Wisconsin) democrat has the following to say about the death of
William Shean, father of Mrs. A. L. Arnold of Beach. Mr. Shean died at Baker,
Montana on April 6th:
“Twenty years back “Billy” Shean was one of the best known men on the Black
river. That was in the days when the Black River Improvement company was on
earth. “Billy” was foreman of the River crews. He was a one-armed man, losing an
arm by the explosion of a blast while in the employ of the company. After the
logging days were over, the company gave Shean a large tract of land near Black
River Falls and for a time he was a farmer. “Billy” Shean is dead and the Black River
Falls Banner prints the final chapter of his career:
“Word is received here that W. C. Shean, formerly of this city, died at his home
at Baker, Mont., on Monday, April 6, of inflammation of the bowels. Mr. Shean
resided many years in this city and is well known to all residents who have lived here
for any number of years. He also has an extensive acquaintance all along Black
River, having been for years in the employ of the Black River Improvement Company
and for the most of the time as driving foreman. It will be remembered that many
years ago he got one hand taken off and nearly lost his life in a powder explosion,
when at work for the company on Black river, north of this city, at blasting. When he
recovered from this accident he was given a steady job by the company, in the
foremanship which he held so long. After leaving here he operated a farm for a time,
about seven miles south of Neilsville, in Clark county, and then sold out and went to
Montana and entered a large tract of land, on which he died. Mr. Shean was probably
about sixty-five years of age.”

Mrs. Brily Douglas of Carlyle, Now At Rest After an Illness Of Several Months
- - - - -
While the announcement of the death of Mrs. Brily Douglas, of Carlyle, Tuesday
morning was not altogether unexpected, yet is was with pain and surprise that it was
received by this community. She passed away Monday night, and is now at rest after
an illness of several months’ duration.
The funeral services were held Wednesday at 11 o’clock from the United Brethren
church of Carlyle, of which she was a member, and was one of the largest attended
services of this kind which has been held in this part of the country. Rev. C. E.
Hogue officiated.
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas were some of the early settlers of the Carlyle territory, and
the latter has made herself a place among its people which will be hard to fill. Her
acquaintance was large, and her friends numbered only by the acquaintances. With
an abiding faith in the protection of her Creator she fell asleep with the assurance that
all was well with her soul.
To her family and surviving relatives, and especially to her husband and little
daughter, is extended the heartfelt sympathy of this community.

Dies At Pittsburg

F. R. Kunkle, Formerly of This City, Dies of Pneumonia, After Short Illness
- - - - -
The many friends of F. R. Kunkle, formerly of this city, but later of Pittsburg, Pa.,
were exceedingly shocked and surprised Tuesday to learn that Mr. Kunkle has
succumbed to the ravages of pneumonia, and had passed to the great unknown early
Monday morning. The news reached this city by a wire to Dr. Stough, with whom
Mr. Kunkle was associated during his residence here.
Mr. Kunkle occupied a place here attained by few in so short a time, partly
perhaps, because of his ability as a singer, but we believe more because of his
cheerful and exceeding happy disposition. While here he appeared to enjoy very
good health. He left here last November to accept a position in Minneapolis, where
he remained until February, when he accepted a position with the Westinghouse
people in Pittsburg. Shortly after his arrival there he began to be seriously troubled
with asthma, and in a letter to Dr. Stough stated that he expected sometime this
spring to return west for a permanent home. The time of starting was delayed for
some reason or other and last week he was stricken with the disease which cost him
his life. He was taken to his old home at Bryan, Ohio, for interment, which took
place yesterday.
He leaves a wife and two children, aged five and seven, and an aged father and
mother as immediate relatives to mourn his untimely death besides a host of friends.
May his ashes rest in peace.

Obituary
Nevada Peterman was born near Crawfordsville, Ind., June 22, 1854. Departed
this life at Carlyle, Mont., May 26, 1813. Had she lived until June 22, 1913, she would have been fifty-nine years old. September 5, 1880, she was united in marriage to Brily Douglas. To this union was born eight children, five boys and three girls,
Howard, Weaver, Ottie, Grace the wife of B. C. Baldwin, Omer, Fred, Bernice and
Ruby, three of which Weaver, Omer and Bernice preceded her to the life beyond in
November 1880. At a meeting conducted by Rev. T. M. Hamilton at Mt. Zion
church, Crawfordsville circuit, she gave her heart to God, and united with the United
Brethren church, her life being spent in active church work. She experienced,
believed in and taught experimental religion. For twenty-five years she has been
teacher of the intermediate class in the Sunday school, being especially adapted for
this work. At the time of her death she was the teacher of a fine class of boys and
girls in the Carlyle Sunday school. This class bought a wreath of beautiful flowers
and placed on her casket as a token of esteem in which they held their beloved
teacher.
In March 1906, Brother Douglas with his family moved from Indiana to Custer
county, Mont., where he had previously taken a homestead to build a new home in a
new country. Being members of the church Sister Douglas insisted that they organize
a Sunday school, which was done in May of that same year, in their shack with eight
scholars.
The officials of the church, Dr. Whitney, secretary of the home mission board, and
Bishop Weekly, were asked for help and they responded by sending a preacher. The
Sunday school was moved to large rooms, then a school house was built and that was
used. About this time the town of Carlyle started and Bishop Weekly came and
organized a class of thirteen. The Sunday school at this time averaged fifty members.
Then another preacher paid us a visit, revival meetings were held and the church
membership was increased to fifty-nine. Sister Douglas worked faithfully all the time
with the firm assurance that God would build up His church in this new country. In
the year 1911 a beautiful church was built at Carlyle at a cost of $2,800 and a
parsonage at a cost of $1,300. The annual conference was held in this church last
fall, when Bishop Weekly dedicated it, fulfilling the hopes and expectations of this
good sister. Other preachers came and other classes were organized, until at this
time we have the Montana Mission district organized with over 200 members and six
preachers, so that she lived to see and enjoy the fruits of her labor. Her husband was
elected as lay delegate to represent this district at the general conference which
convened at Decatur, Ill., May 8, 1913, but could not attend on account of the serious
illness of his wife. The most beautiful scenes the writer ever looked upon was during
the last two weeks of her illness. Her children all lived in the neighborhood and
would gather at her home on evenings, and often she would have the family gather
around her bed, kneel, and each offer prayer, at the close of which, with her
countenance beaming with joy, she would talk to them of heaven, how it paid to be a
christian and that in a short time they would be a united family where there would be
no more good-byes. One of her family asked her what would be the first thing she
would do when she entered heaven, and with a sweet smile on her face she said, “Oh,
I will go straight to Jesus and there kneel at his feet and thank him for what he has
done for me.” The end came on Monday evening, May 26, at 11:50. Besides her
immediate family she leaves to mourn, two brothers, Wallace and Frank Peterman of
Los Angeles, Cal. The funeral was held in the beautiful church at Carlyle, where she
so much loved to worship, conducted by her pastor, Rev. C. E. Hogue, assisted by her
former pastor, Rev. Hawley, and Rev. Whitaker of Beach U. B. church. Rev. Hogue
was surely at his best and preached a solemn and impressive sermon from Rev. 14-13
to a church filled to its capacity with sympathizing friends and neighbors. Splendid
music was also provided
At the close of the service the casket, covered with fragrant flowers was borne by
loving hands to the beautiful cemetery just south of the church, lowered into a vault
made of cement and brick, covered with earth, there to await the call on a glorious
resurrection morn. So ended the mortal life and triumphant over death of a truly
christian mother and a devoted loving companion.

Rush To Close Month

June Is Cupid’s Busy Month and a Little Extra Rush Was Made to Close
- - - - -
The adage that June is the month of brides and roses seems to be living up to the
record, judging by happy unions which have taken place in Beach within the past two
weeks. Several nuptials were reported last week but in the endeavor to make a full
report of the trail a few got by which are given to the public herewith.
On June 26th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Lee the words were spoken at
high noon which made W. G. Tyrell of Manhattan, Mont., and Miss Ester B. Margon
of Midleson, N.D., man and wife. Rev. R. Whitaker performed the ceremony.
On June 28th at the U. B. parsonage, also at high noon, Rev. Whitaker united in
marriage C. E. Dryden and Miss Mary B. Capel, both of Stuart, N.D. Not long since
we had the pleasure of meeting the groom and found him a very pleasing young man
and The Advance extends to him and his life companion best wishes for the future.
Just as the month was about to close, June 30th, at the home of the bride’s parents,
Rev. Whitaker read the service which gave Miss Ida Livingston to a gentleman of like
name from Detroit, Mich. From personal acquaintance with the young lady, who is
charming, talented and accomplished, we can truly extend congratulations to the
groom, and as we are confident the groom must measure up well the bride may as
well be included. The happy couple will make the home at Detroit, Mich., and in
leaving Beach will carry with them the best wishes for a happy and prosperous life,
not alone in a financial way but in those things which make life really worth the
living.

Accidental Death

John McClellan of Bismarck Meets Death in Beach Last Saturday Evening
- - - - -
John McClellan of Bismarck was the victim of a peculiar accident in this city last
Saturday, from the effects of which he died Tuesday morning at the Beach hospital.
Young McClellan was on his way west overland with R. Broadway and son, and
last Saturday the party camped just north of the track in this city. Saturday evening
McClellan went up town and about 11:30 met William O’Conners at the Tri-State
Implement building and entered into conversation. Mr. O’Conners was driving a
team, one of which was a bronco in course of training, and McClellan wanted to
trade horses. With the evident purpose of looking over the horse he stepped from the
sidewalk, and taking hold of the hames (sic) on this animal gave them a shake,
whereupon the animal went into the air, and lunging forward struck McClellan in
such a way that he was thrown violently to the ground, striking the back of his head
upon the edge of the cement sidewalk. Mr. O’Connors immediately drove to Lee &
Rice’s drug store where he immediately notified Dr. Strough and then went to the
injured boy. When he arrived he was still laying with his head on the edge of the
sidewalk. A cot was immediately procured, and upon arrival of the doctor the boy
was placed in the wagon and taken to the Beach hospital, where he died Tuesday
morning at 7 o’clock.
Only once after being hurt did he regain consciousness. During Sunday night
Robert Broadway was attending him, and on looking up from the book he was
reading discovered that McClellan had taken the bandages from his head and was in
the act of placing them upon the stand which stood near the bed. On being
discovered McClellan looked up and said, “Hello Bob; how long are we going to stay
here?” Broadway replied only a few days, and stated that during the operation of
again placing the bandages on his head and administering medicine he talked
rational, but then dozed off and did not again regain consciousness.
His parents were notified of the accident by telegram and his mother arrived
Monday evening, his father not being able to get here until Wednesday morning. The
funeral took place Wednesday afternoon, and interment was made in the Beach
cemetery.
The boy’s father stated that on July 3 the boy told his mother that he was going to
Mandan to look for work, since which time they had no knowledge of his
whereabouts until the telegram was received. There was no particular reason for the
boy leaving home other than that he felt as though he wanted to be at work, and that
better wages could be secured further west.
It is indeed a sad blow to the bereaved parents, who have the sympathy of all in
this great sorrow. John McClellan was 17 years of age.

A Pretty Home Wedding in Minneapolis Makes Our County Treasurer a Benedict
- - - - -
The many friends of our able county treasurer, Arthur E. Swan, will be pleased to
learn that on Saturday, June 21st, he was one of the principals in a very pretty
wedding ceremony, at the home of the bride’s parents, 3020 Seventeenth avenue
south, Minneapolis, Minn., which made Mr. Swan and Miss Ruth Holstad husband
and wife.
The home was prettily decorated for the occasion and the happy couple took their
places to the inspiring strains of the Mendelsohn wedding march, when Rev.
Peterson, of the Thirteen avenue Methodist Episcopal church performed the
ceremony that made them one.
Mrs. Herman Abels presided at the piano and accompanied Miss Scheck in the
solos, “Oh, Promise Me,” “Beloved, It is Morn,” and “Perfect Day.”
The young couple immediately went to Groveland, Lake Minnenetonka, where the
groom had rented a cottage and where their honeymoon was spent. Mr. and Mrs.
Swan arrived in Beach last Friday and immediately went to the farm of the groom
south of town, where they will be at home to friends.
Mr. Swan needs no introduction to the people of Beach and vicinity, for since his
residence here he has displayed those sterling qualities of worth and industry that
have made him deservedly popular and because of which he has been placed in the
responsible and honored position of treasurer of Golden Valley county. His friends
are legion.
Mrs. Swan is a lady of rare musical talent and occupied a place of exceptional
prominence in the best musical circles of Minneapolis. The press of that city are
lavish with compliments of her recitals and honored her wedding announcement with
a large photo engravure of herself, substantial evidence that in acquiring her as a
resident here, Beach has gained that which Minneapolis regrets to lose.
The many friends of her husband unite in extending to her a hearty welcome to
Beach and also extend best wishes for their future happiness and prosperity.

Angus Smith Married at Black River Falls, Wis., to Miss Lavina Chrisinger

The following account of the wedding of one of the popular young Golden Valley
Farmers is taken from the Jackson county Journal of Black River Falls, Wis.:
“Angus Smith, of Beach, N.D., and Miss Lavina Chrisinger were married at the
Methodist parsonage in this city, last Wednesday afternoon, July 16th, Rev. Walter
Trench Scott performing the ceremony. The wedding was attended by only a few of
the immediate friends of the contracting parties. Miss Edna Chrisinger was the
bridesmaid and Otto Erickson was best man. The happy couple went from here to
Superior for a brief visit, after which they will go to the groom’s good farm a few
miles from Beach, where a fine new home awaits them.
“The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Smith, former residents of this city and now of Beach. He has made good progress since he went west, a few years ago,
and now he and his father are farming about 700 acres of the rich prairie country in
the Golden Valley, the greater portion of which they own. He is an industrious and
energetic young man. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chrisinger,
prominent residents of the town of Albion, and her life has been spent in this vicinity.
She is in every way a worthy young lady, and she will make a capable helpmate for
her progressive young husband. They have many friends who extend congratulations
and best wishes.”
While the announcement of the marriage of Mr. Smith will be a surprise to many
of his host of friends in Beach, yet the congratulations and best wishes for a full
measure of happiness and prosperity of this life will be none the less sincere. And to
his wife will also be extended a hearty welcome to her new home in the west.
The happy couple arrived in Beach last Thursday evening, and went immediately
to the home of the groom north of town.

Obituary
- - - - -
Martha Agatha Telford was born October 13, 1878, two miles north of the village
of Byron, Olmsted county, Minnesota, on the farm her father homesteaded in 1856.
Here she spent her childhood days with her father, mother sisters and brother.
Years passed on, and as an unbroken family they lived, with the exception of the
death of an infant brother, until the winter of 1903, when the mother answered the
call of the Master, and was soon followed by the father and only brother, Francis.
Three years ago she moved to Beach, N.D., with her sisters, where she made her
home until her death, which occurred July 31, 1918. Her last illness began about a
year ago from which she never recovered.
Early in life she surrendered her life to her Savior, and was baptized into the
Baptist church of Byron, remaining a faithful christian until her death. This faith was
her great comfort during her sickness. The friends who visited her frequently during
those last days afterwards remarked, “What a lesson of trust and faith we have
learned from her.”
A few weeks before her death she talked with her sisters about different passages
of scripture that had been a source of consolation to her during the time when
sorrows of sickness and death had entered the home, and at that time expressed a
desire that this text should be used as a message to the people at the services before
she should be laid at rest. “For here we have no continuing city, but seek one to
come.” Heb. 13-14
A service was held at the house conducted by Rev. Pollard of Sentinel Butte, and
Rev. Valiant of Waterloo, Ia., after which the remains, accompanied by her two
sisters, Mrs. Mary Roble and Mrs. Theodosia Castner, were taken to Byron, Minn.,
for burial. Funeral services were held at the Byron Baptist church Sunday afternoon

Kane - Burke Nuptials
- - - - -
The marriage of Miss Margaret Ellen Kane of this city and James Gibbons Burke
of Beach, N.D., was solemnized at St. Michael’s church on Wednesday morning,
Rev. O. H. Mullin performing the ceremony, which was beautiful and impressive.
The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Mary Kane. The bridesmaid was
charmingly attired in maize colored, brocaded satin, draped with cream marquisette.
Mr. John Burke of Stillwater, Minn., brother of the groom, was best man.
The bride’s gown was a beautiful white embroidered crepe trimmed in Irish crochet
and shadow lace with pearl garniture. The veil made in the south of Ireland at the
ancestral home of the bride’s father, was of Carrick-ma-cross lace, and was fastened
with a single pearl, the gift of the bridesmaid. The ring used in the marriage service
was made from the wedding ring of the bride’s mother Mary Genevieve Scott, the
four-year old cousin of the bride, made a sweet little flower girl, scattering blossoms
in the pathway of the bridal couple. The nuptial music included solos by Mrs. J. Earl
Barrington, Dr. W. B. Scott and Miss McDonald who also presided at the organ.
After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was given by Miss Jane Kane to the
immediate friends in the dinning room of the Hotel Smith, which was artistically
decorated with cut flowers and ferns. Misses Delia and Alice Gerrity and Miss Anna
Redmann assisted in serving.
The out of town guests included Mr. and Mrs. John Burke of Stillwater, Minn.,
father and mother of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Egan and Mr. Glen Wallace of
Beach, N.D., Mr. and Mrs. D. F. King of Trenton, N.D., and Miss Clara McDonald of
Williston.
The bride is well and favorably known in Ray, being the daughter of the late Owen
Kane. The groom is a prosperous young business man of Beach. The bridal couple
departed in an auto wonderfully decorated by the wedding guests, to catch No. 2 at
Stanley. - Ray Pioneer

Suspicious Circumstances About The Death of L. J. Ferney Being Investigated
- - - - -
A special from Tower, Minn., in the Minneapolis Journal of August 1, has the
following report of the death of L. J. Ferney:
“L. J. Ferney, who was reported as having perished in the burning of his tent on
Watson’s Point, a summer resort on Lake Vermillion, is now believed to have been
murdered for his money. A suspect named Homes Maccur, is under arrest here and
Deputy Corner Burns is holding an inquest.”
This seems to be all that can be learned about the sudden taking away of Mr.
Ferney. He was in Beach during the last term of court, but went east about the time
court adjourned.
Mr. Ferney came to the Golden Valley about six years ago and took up a claim
near Alpha, where he lived until about a year ago, and which he still owns. During
his residence in the Valley he appeared to be a peaceable sort of a fellow and was
well liked by his neighbors so far as we have been able to learn. It hardly seems
possible that he was burned sufficiently in the fire of his tent to have caused death.

A Thought of Consolation
- - - - -
God in His infinite wisdom speaks to man in various ways, manifests His manifold
mercy and compassion to all, and sometimes calls us to a closer walk with Christ and
to a large spiritual service by impressing us with the uncertainty of life.
This lesson was given us last Sunday when we learned of the death of Stanley
Monroe Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Johnson, who was born May 8,
1913. The child did not have normal health, yet we had hopes to believe it would
live. The child became very much worse Sunday afternoon and passed away about
7:15 p.m. This news caused us deep regret and sorrow, and drew forth our prayers
and our most tender feelings of sympathy for the parents and friends.
We do not understand, but we know God understands, for He is too wise to make
mistakes, and too good to be unkind, a truth we will discover when the clouds have
passed away, and we see with a heavenly vision. Then the sunlight of glory shall rise
upon the soul of eternity, and we will learn that the little ones are the diamonds with
which God adorns heaven: that as flowers are cultivated for their exquisite beauty and
fragrance, and are bathed by God with soft sunshine that they may burst into blossom
only to remain a little while to gladden our hearts, so children are given to brighten
the home, and like the flowers they often die, some in sweet bud, some in fuller
blossom, but never too early to make heaven fairer and sweeter with the immortal
bloom.
We suffer a temporary loss, yet we are enriched, for “Where our treasure is there
will our heart be also. Enriched because the spirit of the departed remains with us
and we are drawn nearer to the Christ whose mission is “to heal the broken hearted
and to comfort all that mourn.” The word comfort means “made strong together.”
The sorrow is not altogether taken away, but it is transformed and transfigured by the
help of Christ our fellow sufferer and sympathizer. We receive courage and hope
from the thought that the Comforter who makes us strong will abide with us forever,
will uphold us with the right hand of His righteousness, and give us joy for sadness.
Thus through sorrow we learn for fully to know our Savior, and are enabled to have
the same faith as the poet when he says:
Why do we mourn for dying friends
Or shake at death’s alarm?
This but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to His arms.

Drowned In The Beaver
- - - - -
Roy Brown Was Frightened While Making the Crossing and Jumped to His Death
- - - - -
Recent heavy rains, a swollen stream and an attempted crossing of the Beaver,
tells the story of another death.
Roy Brown of Savage, Mont., in company with a friend, were on their way from
the formers homestead to Bert Brown’s farm north of town Tuesday, and at about
11:30 attempted to cross the Beaver creek at what is known as the Shibley crossing.
The stream was high and swift from recent rains, and when the horses and buggy
struck the current Mr. Brown became frightened, threw the lines and jumped into the
stream, believing he could make the shore, but the swift current proved too much for
him and he was drowned. His companion stuck to the rig and was finally brought to
shore by the team. He immediately gave the alarm and a searching party was
organized to recover the body. Tuesday afternoon and night were spent in the search
without avail.
Roy Brown came to Beach about three years ago, and two years ago took up a
homestead near Savage, Mont., where he has since lived. In September 1911 he was
married to Miss Edith Heinze of Rushford, Minn. He was 23 years of age in July last.
Besides his wife he has four brothers north of town, Bert, Hiram, Arthur and Ben, and
a sister, Mrs. Frank Holmberg. His sudden and untimely demise is a severe blow to
his wife and relatives, and to them is extended the sympathy of the entire community
in their deep sorrow.
The body was recovered Wednesday, and funeral services will be held today, full
arrangements not having been made at time we go to press.

A Double Drowning In David Creek Sunday Evening
- - - - -
Stream Swollen on Account of Heavy Rains and Current Increased to Velocity of a Torrent
- - - - -
The citizens of Beach were horrified Monday morning when they heard the report
that Mr. and Mrs. Leo Hart were drowned in Davis creek Sunday evening, but the
news proved to be the truth.
Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Hart, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Victor
Phersson of Medora, started to drive out to the farm of J. A. McGregor, father of Mrs.
Hart, and when about twelve miles south of Medora attempted to cross Davis creek.
The creek was running bank full on account of the recent heavy rains, but as this was
an occasional place of crossing and a good . . . .m, Mr. Hart evidently anticipated no
danger and drove into the stream. As soon as the horses struck the current they were
swept off their feet, the buggy overturned and its occupants thrown into the water.
Mr. Phersson succeeded in making the bank and immediately sought to render such
assistance as was in his power, but no trace of the others could be found. A bend in
the creek just below the crossing forms a horse shoe, and when he sighted the team it
had made the entire circuit of the horse shoe, which shows the velocity of the current.
As Mrs. Phersson started down stream she was thrown close enough to the shore so
that her feet caught in some brush on the bank and held here and she had presence of
mind enough to realize that if she could get hold of this bush she could save herself,
which she finally succeeded in doing. As soon as she got out of the water she
immediately went to the nearest house and telephoned Medora for help, while her
husband searched the stream for any sight of Mr. and Mrs. Hart.
When help arrived search was begun for the bodies, but not until about 4 o’clock
Monday morning was either found. Mr. Hart was discovered about the time some
200 feet below where they had attempted to make the crossing, and his wife was
found some three hours later.
Mr. Hart came to this part of the country some four or five years ago, and since the
opening of the Stockmen’s State Bank at Medora has occupied the position of
assistant cashier. Some six months ago he married Miss Ruth McGregor of Medora,
a young lady who numbers her friends by the number of her acquaintances, and
together they started out on the journey of life under very bright and happy prospects.
Both were loved and respected by all who knew them, and their untimely demise will
be greatly mourned.
Funeral services were held at the residence in Medora on Wednesday afternoon,
and were largely attended. Rev. Orchard of Dickinson conducted the service. Mr.
Hart was a member of the Elk’s lodge of Dickinson, and that society was well
represented at the service, as was also the Eastern Star lodge of Dickinson, of which
Mrs. Hart was a member. The especially large and exquisite collection of floral
tributes fairly banked the caskets, and attests the popularity of the young couple. The
remains were shipped to Dickinson Thursday, where they will be interred, the Elks
taking charge of the services at the grave of Mr. Hart, and the Eastern Star holding
their solemn and impressive rites at the grave of their departed sister.
To Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McGregor, who are so well known in the community among
the older settlers, as well as to Mr. and Mrs. Hart, is extended the sincere sympathy of
the entire community.

Mrs. Henry Walters Give Party In Honor of Her Daughter

The handsome new home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walters was the scene of a very
pretty and unique party last Saturday afternoon. It was given by Mrs. Walters in
honor of her daughter Grace, whose marriage was announced to take place the last of
October. The color scheme was red and white, red hearts and cupids, with red sweet
peas and nasturtiums giving a most pleasing effect in the late afternoon light. The
draperies were decorated with huge paper hearts intertwined, and the tables were
bright with red heart dollies and the red cupid place cards. Flowers were massed on
the piano, between the colonnades and formed the center piece for each table. The
dome over the bride’s table was decorated with a large red bell, the drop being a
heart.
The three course supper was served at the usual hour and was exceedingly
delectable in more than one way as the prevailing colors had been carried out most
cleverly in the arrangements of the vands. The announcement of the coming nuptials
was given in a verse which was rolled up in the little red trimmed surprise packages
laid on the desert plate.
Covers were laid for thirty. The out of town guests at the party were as follows:
Mrs. Lytle of Chippewa Falls, Wis., Mrs. Aman of Rawlins, Wyoming, Miss
Margaret McCoy of Guthrie, Okla., and Mrs. Johnson of Osage, Ia., the mother and
guest of Mrs. Hudson.

Roy N. Brown was born in Winona County, Minn. July 30th, 1890. He grew to
manhood at the place of his birth, and in the fall of 1910 he came to N. Dak. Some
time later he filed on a homestead near the Blue Mountains. On September 13th,
1911, he married Miss Edith Henzy of Rushford, Minn., and immediately the newly
wedded couple came out to N. Dak. and started housekeeping on the homestead. Roy
was getting along nicely in his work, and things were running smoothly, and the
future looked bright. But as often happens the unexpected occurred. He with a
neighbor tried to ford the Beaver, swollen during the previous night by heavy rains
last Tuesday morning. They had miscalculated the danger of the flood waters, and
when they got into midstream the buggy began to go with the stream, and the men
leaped for their lives. Roy’s neighbor succeeded in keeping hold of the carriage, and
the horses got safely to shore, but Roy lost his life in his endeavor to swim to shore.
He leaves an aged father, five brothers, and one sister besides many friends and
hardest of all a young and loving wife, a widow to mourn their loss. The sympathy of
friends is extended to the sorrowing ones. Funeral services were held at his brother’s
house, Bert Brown, where a large number of people had gathered at 10 A.M. Friday

William T. Gregory Passed Peacefully Away Last Sunday Morning of Heart Failure
- - - - -
The numerous friends and acquaintances of William Gregory in this city were
surprised last Sunday to learn that the old gentleman had died that morning at his
residence on the north side.
Mr. Gregory was always an early riser and Sunday morning he got up as usual, fed
his chickens and attended to his other chores, ate his breakfast and apparently
situated himself comfortably to read the papers, for when he was discovered he was
dead, but seated in a chair with his feet on the edge of the table. Heart failure was the
cause.
Mr. Gregory was about 75 years of age. He came to the Golden Valley four or five
years ago and purchased a farm north of town, which he later sold. He then took a
homestead in the neighborhood of Edgehill, Mont., but we are informed had not
made final proof. He was a veteran of the civil war and the veterans had charge of
the funeral, which was held from the Methodist church on Wednesday, Rev. Gress
preaching the sermon.
His son, L. W. Gregory of Hurson, S.D., was notified of his father’s death and
came at once to Beach. Whether he had other relatives in this part of the country we
did not learn.
Mr. Gregory was a very pleasant old gentleman and we have enjoyed many an
