BLOOD RELATIONS
That Was One Experience of Mr. and Mrs.
J. B. Lucy During Recent Trip Down
the Line—Ctves The Tribune Inter
esting Talk, for Benefit of
Readers.
Mr. and Mrs. John Lucy, with
their twin babies, arrived home
last Tuesday after a pleasant
three weeks' visit at Casselton,
this state, and Wadena, Fergus
Falls and Henning, Minn., the
last named place being their old
home. John dropped into The
Tribune office Wednesday to tell
us they had a fine "outing, but
encountered some very severe
weather on the trip and during
their sojourn in the places named.
It was unusually cold and the
snow was continuously moving
with a stiff wind that continued
for days and days and in fact at
no time did it show the slightest
sign of a let-up. John said that
the most notable change that had
come under his notice since leav
ing that part of the country
years ago, is that now they are
raising fine crops of corn and
magnificent clover all through
Otter Tail county, Minn., and al
so in the country about Cassel
ton, where twelve or fifteen
years ago if a man had the hardi
hood to even intimate the possi
bility of such a thing, he would
at once be put down as a fit sub
ject for a lunatic asylum. John
was no less surprised, however,
to find that in the groves of little
twigs he helped set out in the
Casselton country twenty years
ago, the work of doing which
was then considered quite gener
ally as time and labor thrown
away, as it was not believed pos
sible to successfully grow trees
in so cold a country—he was as
tonished, he said, to see the
growth these twigs had made,
many of them now being so large
that if cut up almost any one
would make from two to three
cords of wood. Another notable
change, John tells us, was in the
financial condition of the farmers
who went in there with scarcely
a dollar years ago, every one of
whom that had the backbone to
stay by their holdings, now be
ing on easy street, with fine farm
buildings, magnificent stock, and
in fact surrounded with every
comfort and convenience calcu
lated to make happy the hearts
of the farmer and hisfamily, this
most agreeable change from pen
ury to plenty and independence be
ing attributable in a great degree
to enhancement in the values of
farm lands, which about Cassel
ton were not saleable at any price
twenty years ago, while today
these same lands find ready sale
for from $35 to $55 per acre, ac
cording to improvements. Mr.
Lucy and family remained in the
city till yesterday, the guests of
Mrs. Ralph Schudar, when they
departed for their comfortable
farm home eighteen miles south,
in the hills country.
Allan and Team
Froze to Death.
Mercer, N. D., Jan. 11.—After
lying for three weeks under his
loaded wagon which had upset,
S e v e S i n e w o i v e w o
miles southwest of Hub postoffice,
was found by searchers last week.
His body was frozen stiff and
his horses, unable to move the
load or to get untangled from the
harness, were also found stiff
and stark.
Slinde's wife and child were
away visiting with her parents.
Slinde, one day about the middle
of December, drove to Krem with
a load of wheat which he ex
changed for his winter's supply
of flour. It is said that he was
pretty well loaded with booze
when he started for home at 11
o'clock that night. He left Krem
with the remark that he would
stop at a neighbor's and leave an
overcoat. That was the last
seen of him alive.
His brother who lives on an
adjoining farm noticed that
Slinde was not at home, butsup-
£is
••n
ill
a
osed that he had gone to get
wife and child and had stop
ped for a visit. In this way af-
mm#*
fairs ran along
for three weeks
and finally Mrs.
SHnde, worried
because her husband did not
write or come after her, started
an investigation.
A long search finally located
the bodies of the man and his
team in a coulee where the team
had wandered and the load had
been upset, pinning Slinde under
neath the flour. Slinde's dog
stayed by his master's body for
a week and driven by intense
hunger he returned home.

hoodwinked into exchanging his
farm in the Bowbells country for
lands in Minnesota, South Dako

hand that some who were last

trades, now fully realize their
mistake—but in those cases the
harm is done and no help for it
