Wahpeton.
We mentioned the fa6t, two weeks
ago, that Editor Falley spent New
Years among his friends at Breck
enridge and Wahpeton, and this is
what he says in The Teller on his re.
(urn home.
Wahpeton is a very prettily locat
ed town on a gently sloping plain,
and drained' by a thorough system
of sewers, which carry the offal into
the Bed. River. When M. T. Rich
settled on the pre-emption where
Wahpeton now stands, he took the
land not for a farm or a townsite,
but because it was a good point on
the river to establish a ferry. He
built a small log house on tlie'exact
spot where now stands his palatial
home, and had a small ferry boat
which he used in carrying settlers
and government troops across the
waters of the Bois des Sioux, and it
is related that many were the imag
inary troops that crossed the ferry
only in the minds of the proprietor
and comraandent, but governmental
pay rolls would signify that consid
erable businees must have been
done at that particular crossing.
Rich made money and prospered as
the country surrounding attracted
attention. After awhile people
came along and wanted to start
stores and build houses on his farm,
and although Rich did not like to
have his pre-emption cut up with
houses and roads he was too accom
modatingly inclined not to grant
any favors in his power. Suddenly
tne idea of platting the pre-emption
into town lots flashed across the
proprietor's mind, and Wahpeton
was started. But the "old timer"
who was acquainted with Wahpeton
and its inhabitants then would not
recognize the Wahpeton of to-day
from any of the old land marks re
maining. The old ferry boat has
changed into a great iron bridge,
the log cabins into beautiful, large
houses, the prairie roads into paved
thoroughfares, and lined with busi
ness houses, offices, etc. The Ilead.
quarters hotel, lately enlarged, is
perhaps the largest hotel in Dakota,
and certainly is the finest. The
public school building and the court
house are model structures, and
speak well for the enterprise of the
citizens. W. A. Seely is erecting a
mammoth building near the Mani
toba depot to be used as a machinery
iiiill and general exhibition building
Among the many popular institu
tions of the town are the Novelty
Wood and Iron Works, by A. T.
Wliitehouse & Co., Dr. Svvaine's
and St. Luke's hospitals, and the
National Bank, of which J. W.
Ilayward is president, 'and A. J.
Goodhue is cashier. This bank has
an abundance of capital, and is con
ducted on sound business principles.
It is safe to say that Cashier Good
hue will never have occasion to visit
Canada after the style of modern
bank cashiers. The skating rink,
owned by Mr. John Nelson and Mr.
F. H. Butler, is to be greyly en
larged, and a stock company,^is be
ing formed, with a capitayBBck of
.•$4,000. The newspapers imwahpe
ton are first-class in theiiffmpy, and
are solid concerns. The (fczitte, by
E. K. Morrill, was esta^luUied in
1878. The Gazette builtirwg is one
of the nicest business blo'cks on
Main street, and, perhaps, the print
ing outfit and force employed is
larger than that used by any other
country office in Dakota. The
Times, by G. P. Garred, is a newsy
sheet. The Times has lived
eventful life, but is now soberei
down, and runs along in regula
grQoves. It was at one time at
weekly, afterwards a daily,
when the "boom" excitement di$i
out the paper resumed its weeki
issue and its proprietor found
had sunken some thousands of dpl^
lars in his effort to boom Wahpeti

we And Pyatt & Purcell, W. S. Lau

McCumber & Bogart, P. H. Hackett,
and S. H. Snyder.' These attorneys
are bright, keen men, and have
plenty of business to keep them out
of mischief. The county offices are
filled by men who are uniformly
courteous and accommodating.

tain him for years. Sheaiff Ink,
wly elected, is a mighty clever fel
low, and will make a good sheriff.
"Crooks" are learning to give Wah
peton a wide berth since Marshal
Mears assumed his duties. Mears is
the only decent marshal Wahpeton
ever had, and the people will do
well to retain him in his present ca
pacity. Wahpeton in a few years
will be a city of ten thousand inhab
itants.
We presume thatBro. Falley un
intentionally omitted the mention
of the Bank of Wahpeton, estab
lished some two or three years since,
which, with the First National does,
its part in looking after the finan
cial feature in Richland county's
commercial affairs, in fine shape.
And the Gazette was established in
1879, not 1878, the same year,
month, week and* day that the paper
was started from Which has grown
The Wahpeton Times. And our
friend forgot lo say that THE TIMES
is the official paper of the county
and of the city,.and has a larger
circulation than any papeiLin the
county. ED.J

box in the machinery of the steam
elevator there, which soon spread,
consuming the building and com
municating to the depot and that
Charles Wandall, accompanied by
Swan Helling entered the elevator
after the fire was well advanced and
it suddenly falling upon them, the
latter got out badly stunned, but
nothing was found of Wandall till
the next day and then the remains
were found outside the ruins, proper,
showing that either the falling tim
bers knocked him through a window
or that he managed to walk out af
ter being struck. His skull was
fractured. There were some ten
thousand bushels of wheat in the
elevator. The depot was a loss of
#500. The hotel did not burn as re
ported. Mr. Wandall was a young
man, and had taken care of himself
since five years of age, the past two
years having been at work for Wm.
Ostrich, near Wafcott, and ,being
in town the day of the misfortune
made the singular remark to friends
that a box lying on the depot plat
fqjm would *be his coffin. And sure
enough, that evening he was thus
unexpectedly killed, and the day al
lowing was followed to his grave in
the box indicated. The box had
brought a bass viollfo to Walcott.
For these facts we are indebted to
Lorentz Oestrich, who adds that the
deceased was an excellent young
man, and that his parents live in
