Among the visitors to Washburn
this week was Mr. C. H. Phelps,
of Bismarck, who is introducing
the Davenport and Treacy piano
to our residents. Mr. Phelps has
long be1en a resident of Bismarck
and this was his first visit to our
city and was highly pleased at the
thrift and industry displayed by
our people. He said that it re
minded him of old times to see so
much building going on and the
many evidences of prosperity. He
predicted a great future for our
city. Mr. Phelps returned home
Wednesday.
The Dickenson Recorder says a
party of land seekers found a most
peculiar substance in the vicinity
of Rainy Buttes the first of the
week. In many respects it resem
bles asphalt/it lias no odor, is a
rich brown color, very greasy to
the touch and would seem to be a
good paint as it is f^re and water
proof. The finders also brought
in a quanity of dark colored liquid
that, while it shows no trace of oil,
mixes readily with the solid sub
stance and make? a nice paint that
dries perfectly. The finders have
taken samples of both east for an
alysis. »,

LATE NEWS.
Steamers from the island of
Martinque report an appalling loss
of life as a result of an eruption
of 'the Mt. Pelee Volcano. At
least 1,600 people perished so the/
report states.
The Napoleon Homestead says
that the Washburn base ball team
will always have a eouvenier of
the coming of the Soo into Bis
marck-—a big goose egg. That's
all right Frank, the other "fellers"
had an awful scare.
President Roo«velr. °f
was struck by an electric car Wed'
nesday morning in Pittsfield, Mass.
The President escaped
vwith
a
few slight bruises, but his face was
badly scratched in the accident.
Secret Service Agent Craig
WBB
killed and the driver had his skull
fractured. Private Secretary Cor-,
telyou was somewhat cut and
bruised. The accident occurred'
a mile and a half from the city ol$
Pittsfield, Mass. The 'electric car'
seemed to be speeding in order to
reach the club house and the mo
terman paid no attention to Craig's
signals to stop. The President
was cut on the right side of the,
chin and his face is much swollen.

The great coal strike is still on
and from present indications it is
not known how long it will con
tinue. The coal barons will not
give, in to the demands of the men.
We hope the strikers get what
they are asking for, but they have
a whole lot to contend against.
Thieir demands are just and rea
sonable—only live and let live.
The editor of the Eddy County
Provost is a candidate on .the Re
publican ticket of that county for
clerk of court. We have known
Mr. Stickney from boyhbod jup—
and the Pbrum—as is usual—in
timates that Sickney has only
been in the state lojig Gnoiigh to
secure a nomination. If Stickney

In years this section has never
known such a heavy growth of
vegetation as the present season.
There has been plenty of moisture
and the year has been a propitious
one—and the farmers aye happy.
They are looking forward to a well
filled granary, a nice bank account
and of the many good things in
store for them. Surely the life of
a farmer thi9 year in McLean
county is a round of pleasure.
A ride around the country shows
that a number of farmers are put
ting up granaries, indicating that
they intend to store part of their
big crops this year on the farm in
stead of rushing it all to market at
once. The building of granaries
shows that the facers are in those
cases, getting to a point where they
can handle their own grain to
bettor advantage, and do not have
to sell light off to pay a chattel

WASHBURN LEADER. WASHBURN. NORTH DAKOTA SEPTEMBER 6, 1902. $1.00 PER YEAR.
jv The Bismarck Tribune prints
romantic incident that is among
the records of Missouri slope
fevents: Mrs. Belle Klaus has re
ceived a card announcing the wed
ding of Elizabeth Curtis Williams
to Mr. George Bird Grinnell, at
New York City, Aug. 21. The
bride will be remembered here as
the widow of Emery.Leverett Wil
liams, a young artist who came out
from the east several years ago,, to
find material in the original for
Indian' sketches. Mr. and Mrs.
Williams, then bride and groom
came to the west with few worldly
goods, but with a steadfast deter
mination to overcome all the ob
stacles in obtaining knowledge of
•the Indians from life among then).
They started to walk 125 miles to
Elbowoods to visit the agency
there. Afterward the}7 returned
to the city, and Mr. Williams did
some special work for The Tribune
at the Mandan fair. There they
met Agent Bingenheimer and oth
ers, who gave them entree to
the Standing Rock agency, where
they took a cabin and remained
during the winter. The privation
and exposure incident upon this
"roughing it" was too much for
Mr. Williams and he died at the
agency hospital.
Mrs. Williams returned east.
She was a young woman of admir
able character, steadfast and de
termined, and after her return east
a number of her husband's sketches
were published and became im
mediately successful, In her work
pf procuring the publicatiou of her
husband,'s sketches she met Mr.
Grinnell, who is editor of Forest
jtnd Stream, the well known sports
men's publication, and the ac
quaintance ripened into friend
s$p and finally resulted in a hap
py marriage. Mr. Griimell is a
personal friend of President Roose
velt, and was a special representa
tive of the president to Standing
Rock some months ago, to investi
gate the Indian lease matter."
Who will be the Lucky One.
-Speculative interest in the matter
