SEPTON CADY
HEARD FROM
Editor, Eagle,
Ekalaka, Mont.
Dear Old Birdie;
On leaving home on the 8th
of May we encountered a
cold
i J
raw day but nevertheless we
n , ,, m, J
were comfortable. The nfxt
j , n , - c'x -n i
dav we left Baker for St. Paul
A , . u , ....
at winch place we arrived the
, : n /t* ht i ■ i
next morning. Miss Markin and
I went shopping in the morning
and in the afternoon she left for
I her home in Iowa, whon I lost
I my last reminder of Ekalaka.
j I then got busy and started
! out in search of a boat suitable
! for my trip to the Isthmus. After
j spending some time locating the
j different manufacturers of motor
j boats I run across the Dengle
I Boat Works where I selected a
10 foot 2 horse power rig. It
runs fine but it seems to be a
little small for my outfit. While
in St. Paul I took the steamer up
the river to Ft. Snelling where
I veiwed the old fort and wit
nessed a good game of ball be
ween the Fort boys and some
soldiers from Nebraska, the for
mer coming out victors. From
here I went three miles farther
up the river where the Old Sol
diers Home is located, and had
a good time visiting with many
of the old veterans. They have
fine buildings to live in and the
grounds now are ail covered with
green grass and the flowers are
coming in bloom. Parks, foun
tains, ball parks, race courses,
zoological gardens and old state
relics can be found near the
Falls which are located about a
quarter of a mile from the home.
Street cars reach it from both
ways (Minneapolis and St. Paul)
and boats come up every hour.
After returning from this trip
I gathered up my outfit and left
St. Paul on the 19th running
down the river below south St.
Paul where I stopped and ate
dinner with some fishermen w ; o
were seining and had just pulled
in about 100 lbs. of fish. They
] save only certain kinds of fish,
! those not wanted being turned
loose again. I passed Hastings
{and St. Croix on the Minn, side
1 and camped that night in a old
' deserted house around which I
1 met up with a crippled yellow
lean dog. He didn't seem to like
'my cooking and so moved on
leaving me to tend camp alone.
| Next morning 1 pulled along to
Maiden Rock where I tied up and
took a stroll up town. During my
absence a steamer passed by and
i returned only to find that my
boat was half full of water and
tilings soaked up in genera 1 and
I was to say, the least disgusted.
The next day found me camped

KiLLED BY
THE LIGHTNING
Reports in town this week
state that while Mr. and. Mrs.
Tilden Martin and their young
child were riding along in their
wagon near their ranc h about 35
miles below town Sunday, a bolt
fl . u . . .
of lightning- otruck the wagon,
, - ir .»• .. , ,
killing Mrs. Martin and the hor
• , ,,
ses instantly, and crippling Mr.
,, ,. » .' m . .... . . ,
Martin for life. The child which
Mrs. Martin was holding in her j
lap was thrown from the wagon
but not injured. It was said
that Mr. Martin had nearly all
his clothes torn off by the shock.
More particulars are hard to ob
tain at this time on account of
the poor condition of the tele
phone lines.
Mrs. Martin is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Wetherald who
live near Marmarth and her un
timely death was no doubt a sad
blow to all who knew her.
HAPPENINGS
The sawmill has been moved
across the gulch and will resume
operating in a few days.
C. V. Winters is around with
out his crutches this week. The
cut in his foot is healing rapidly
owing to Dr. Colvin's efficient
service.
Bud Ferguson and Mrs. Fer
guson returned to the gulch on
Tuesday, having spent a few
days at their ranch on Box Elder
creek.
