Mrs. Anna Reid, who has been with
the New England hospital for the past
two years, came to Dickinson last Fri
day and expects to remain here in the
future. She visited her mother Mrs.
Margaret Roberts for a few days and
was in Belfield this week visiting her
sister, Mrs. George Pelissier.
Adam A. Lefor, who was in the city
the past week, stated that the fair at
Lefor would likely be held some time in
May. On account of the heavy snow on
Caster Monday it was impossible to
hold the fair as had been planned. Gov.
Hanna will attend and will be the
speaker of the day. It mav be that
some ol the N. P. railroad officials
will also be present.
Wm. Weathers came down from the
west the past week to spend a few
weeks with his family. Mr. Weathers
was talking with Pete Pelissier at Sher
idan last Thursday and the report of his
having had fever does not appear to be
correct. On his way home he 'met Wil
lis Pelissier at Billings, who was
hurrying, as he supposed, to the bed
Ride
of his sick father. How Willis
came to get the wrong information is
not known.
J. P. Tingle received a letter this
week from his brother, W. E. Tingle
of Zanesville, Ohio, telling of the
terrible flood conditions and the nar
row escape his family had. Mr. Tingle
had a fine 13 room brick residence on
one of the heights overlooking the river
and suppose he was safe from floods.
The water came up 18 feet higher than
was ever known. As an extra precaution
Mr. Tingle moved to the second floor
of his house where he and his family
felt perfectly secure on retiring, for the
night At 4 o'clock in the morning
they found their home was flooded and
there was no avenue of escape left open
to them. Miss Tingle, who has a very
strong voice, made a megaphone of
paper and by this means finally secured
help. They were taken from the bal
cony of the second story in a boat.
Mr. Tingle writes that his handsome
property was practically ruined. Mr.
and Mrs. Tingle visited in Dickinson
some years ago.
Roy Lillibridgc came in Thursday
night from the Robert Wilcox ranch on
the Little Missouri river. He reported
that the flood was the worst known in
the history of ranching on (he river.
The water came upon them about mid
night and the roar of the water was so
great that you could scarcely hear a per
son a few feet away. He awakened
the men at the bunk house and they
were soon in water to their knees. They
tried to free the stock and succeeded in
saving all but two head of cattle. The
hogs went with the current and were
all lost. When the men returned to
the house, the ladies were on chairs
screaming at the top of their voices.
The beds and other furniture were float
ing around in the ice water. The cor
ralls kept the wagons and sleds from float*
ing away. Some of the railroad graders
in McKenzie county were forced to
climb trees where they remained for
horus waiting for boats. Mr. Wilcox
had 1,000 bushels of oats and other
grain water soaked.
"Nigger" Jones Drowned
Sentinel Butte Republican: Although
the body had not yet been found when
the Republican went to press it is rec
ognized as a fact that "Nigger" Jones,
as be was commonly known in his local
ity, was drowned in Bullion creek near
Alpha, twenty miles south of Sentinel
Butte, on Monday. He was seen to
ride his horse into the creek at 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 hut 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 generally a small
stream, easily crossed at almost any
point, but at this time of the yiear it
beromes a turbulent river and has an
exceedingly swift current. About four
years ago a man was drowned in the
same vicinity while trying to cross
with a team and wagon.

CREAMERY PROBLEM
WHAT CENTRALIZERS DO
The last issue of the Hettinger Jour
nal has the following letter from Wil
liam Maberry:
"From time to time I notice an oc
casional can of cream is being shipped
from here to the centralizer creameries
in the Twin Cities and it makes me
wonder that the parties shipping cream
can be so ^blind to their own interests.
Mr. Farmer, don't you know that every
can shipped to them is just so much
support toward building up a trust and
breaking down your local creamery?
What if they do offer you a few more
cents at first to get you started, that is
just a bait and if you continue to shin
they will get it back and more too. I
have worked for the centralizers and
know their methods. If tney can once
close a local creamery then the farmers
in that locality will have lo take what
they can for their cream and it will be
just as it is now with the big packing
houses with stock, you will have to
take their price or none.
And what are they doing for you
to make your locality more prosperous
and your land more valuable? Not a
thing. All the interest they have is to
get your cream while your local cream
ery brings trade to your town, gives em
ployment to several people and makes
your farm more valuable because when
the eastern buyer comes looking for land
one of the first questions he asks is,
"Is there a good creamery in your local
ity? And if there is he will believe
you have a prosperous country and will
be more willing to invest his capital
in your land, so you will find in the
end that it will pay you best to stand
by your local creamery and help build it
up.
The dairy farmers of Minnesota have
had enough of the city creameries and
have almost entirely stopped patroniz
ing them and so they have to reach out
into the Dakotas for their cream and it
surely does not speak well for them that
the people of their own state will not
deal with them.
WHY HE WAS LATE
"What made you so late?"
"I met Smitbson."
"Well, that is no reason why you
should be an hour late getting home to
supper."
"I know, but I asked him how he was
feeling and he insisted on telling me
about bis stomach trouble."
"Did you tell him to take Chamber
lain's Tablets
"Sure, that is what he needs." Sold

SPIRITML BELIEF
OF PIERRE WIBAIX
Last week the PRESS gave a full ac
count of the death of Pierre Wibaux
and mention of his estate estimated at a
little over half a million. The will of
the late Pierre ^Wibaux was quite
lengthy. The document ends with an
expression of his spiritual belief and
views of life, briefly as follows:
"It is my wish, if it is agreeable
to the good people of Wibaux, that
my ashes be deposited under my bronze
statue to be enlarged twice natural size
and set upon high ground, on a'suitable
pedestal, and facing my old "ranch.
I desire to have it placed in the atti
tude of looking over those hills I have
dearly loved and where I have'spent the
best years of my life. I request that
my son, Cyril, shall, at his own ex
pense, carry out my wishes in this Tre
spect.
"I have given the important matters
of life and death and their sequence a
great deal of thought. If, as I believe,
death is the end of all things to me, I
shall be glad to rest, forget and waive
all responsibilities. If, as I hope, there
is a hereafter, I have no fear, as I have
tried to follow the right path regardless
of consequences and honestly believe
I have been just and right according to
the best of my knowledge and under
standing. If, at any time, I may have
unwittingly caused anybody any
trouble, I sincerely regret it Life with
some object in sight, some purpose -to
fulfill, is good to live, but it'is no joke,
it is a very serious matter.
"As an atom in the universe have
played my part and, would not care to
live my life over again however, had I
an opportunity to do so, I would try to
do better and accomplish greater things.
I say this for my son, Cyril he has
been a good and affectionate son to me,
and I wish him to think kindly of his
father, and for my sake to shoulder
more responsibilities. I would like to
think that the world would be a little
better for his having been born.
'When death lays her hand on me
I will face her like a man and I hope
to entertain no bitter feelings. Then if
some part of my being is still conscious
when this document comes to light the
rest of me will remain with my son the
friends I have dearly loved and my un
finished work."

A Daring Ride.
During the Russo-Japanese war an
officer of Cossacks offered to carry a
dispatch which ten horsemen had al
ready failed to get through. The gen
eral said that the effort was useless.
"The others have failed," the officer
insisted, "because they traveled on
horseback. I shall go under my horse."
The general was astonished, but the
officer's offer was finally accepted. He
started off in the middle of the night,
strapped face downwards under his
horse, which he guided by means of
the bridle through the forelegs. The
Japanese whistled to what they thought
was a riderless horse. But the animal,
egged on by blows from the officer's
heels/ accomplished the journey of
thirtyrfive miles in safety.
Stranger still, the officer accomplish
ed ihe return journey on the following
night.
