PREP CTI ET 6 RS. QUAIN GIVES ADDITIONAL ACTS OF CITY'S HISTORY Mrs. LaRose Sings, Engelhardt Plays at Kiwanis Lunch- eon Meeting Additional facts regarding Bis- marck’s early history were given to the Kiwanis club Tuesday by Mrs. Fannie Dunn Quain, the talk in- cluding @ number of incidents not related in previous speeches on the subject. Mrs, V. J. La Rose sang a solo, “In an Old-Fashioned Town,” as a complement to Mrs. Quain’s remarks on the early history of the city and Adolph Engelhardt played two violin solos, “Ah Sweet Mystery of Life” by Victor Herbert and “Minuet in G” by Beethoven. F. H. Waldo, reporting for the club’s good fellow ship committee, said the demand for Christmas bas- kets is 20 per cent greater this year than heretofore and that the Salva- tion Army needs eight more baskets. The needs of the Red Cross, he said, appear to be well cared for. These two agencies cooperate in the distri- bution of the baskets, he explained. Al Brink made a formal report of the election at which P. E. Byrne was choseh as the club's next president. Richard Krause was elected Kiwanis representative on the Boy Scout or- ganization. Iver Acker and Harry Hansen were Kiwanis representatives on the Bis- marck Carl Ben Eielson Memorial fund committee. ‘ors at the mecting were J. S. Taylor, state's attorney and Charles Jacobson, sheriff, both of McKenzie county, and Sam Harrington of Bil- lings, Mont, City Has Had Three Names In her review of the city’s early history, Mrs. Quain explained that Bismarck had two other names before the one by which it is now known. The first settlement in this area in 1871 was located on the Garske farm, then the Henry Settle place, and was named Burleightown, The railroad then ran along the river bottoms. Settle broke some land and planted some cottonwood trees that year. Two other men also took up farming. In 1872, she said, the railroad was moved and the present site of Bis- marck was known as Edwinton. In 1873 the name Bismarck was adopted. There were forts galore in and around Bismarck in those days but they were not very strong and the inhabitants were very much afraid of the Indians, Mrs. Quain said. In 1872, she said, Camp Hancock was located here with half a com- pany of infantry and Camp Greene and Fort McKean, both across the river, preceded Fort Abraham Lin- coln as organized by General George! A. Custer in 1873. In addition the citizens organized the first volunteer guards and picketed the environs of the city at times when Indian scares occurred. Illustrating the uncouth character of the country, Mrs. Dunn ‘said her father was one of the first. county commissioners and that the commis- sioners appointed other county of- ficers. The county judge, she said, entered into a conspiracy to hold up Mr. Dunn on his way home but weakened before the crime was com- mitted and told the intended victim of the plot. When the railroad came in 1873, she said, every business build- ing with the exception of the rude hotel and the drug store operated by her father was occupied by a saloon or gambling den. Used 20 Mule Teams In the days of the Black Hills freighters, she said, 20-mule teams were common the freight caravans, which left a point where the Soo Line depot now is, were so Jong that one could not see the end of them stretching off to the south. Most famous of the Missouri river boats by reason of its trip from the Little Big Horn with the wounded of Reno's command in "76, Mrs. Quain said, the Far West, captained by Grant Marsh, established a record for river travel by reaching Bismarck. in 54 hours. The boat was demolished by a windstorm in 1878 and Marsh's broth- er used the debris to build a house at Fifth street and Broadway. Later the house was moved to Avenue A, just east of Fourth street, and was remodeled, she said, Numerous other incidents and “firsts” in Bismarck’s history were] included in the talk. Last Rites Held in Watford City With Big Crowd Present ‘Continued from page one) largest crowd that ever attended a funeral in this community to submit to the working hand of his master. Four caskets ci the re- mains of the Havens were arrayed in the city auditorium, below the stage where Charles Bannon sat and main- tained last week that the Havens had left the farm to go to Oregon and had hired him to take charge. He remained unshaken in this story until last Thursday when he divulged that the Havens had been murdered. Numerous relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Haven came from several states to be present at the funeral. Most of them had been there since the first word of the crime came to them and the fu- neral for them was a climax to many days of for bodies and waiting for details of the crime as Bannon recounted piece-meal how he wiped out the family. ; There were 24 pallbearers to carry the four caskets from the auditorium. Man is a creature of sorrow and trouble, Rev. Bailie said in his ser- mon. “He is born in the midst of ‘trouble. It is his peculiar heritage. It matters not who were our ances- tors, what splendor attended our birth, what may have been the pros- Pects of our future, We are the heirs of sorrow and are daily exopsed to a thousand miseries, All Meet With Trouble “Since the advent of sin into the world all have met with sorrow and trouble on the way but some more than others. Some have to walk though the midst of troubles. They are always in it. To many there is constant physical affliction, to oth- ers the conflict of passions, the re- ™morse of conscience and to many comes the disappointments of busi- ness, the treachery of false friends, the blasts of an evil world.” “Both the Christian and ungodly | Railway Conductors.

Off times these troubles come from a source that is at enmity with us, But with love in our heart we can refrain from jutify- ing their cause and higher powers govern their outcome. For vengeance is mine I shall repay, saith the Lord. “The Christian takes these troubles not as punishment but as chastise- ments. For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth. Our wounds are the wounds of the pruning knife and our bitter draughts are medicine. The sinner needs not feel that he is hope- less in his day of trouble. God Gives Many Joys “God has given him many joys, he has tried to woo him to Himself by blessings. He has tried the sun- shine and prosperity. These have failed. Too often men cannot see the forebearance of God in his trouble and sorrow. God is trying to call him heed the admonition of the text be- lieve in me, He is more willing to save him in this, his day of trouble, and thus his day of sorrow shall be life. Today we have gathered to pay just a little before. “We cannot recall the inevitable past. We all have been touched by this sorrow. To the relatives of the family the sympathy of every citi- zen of our town and surrounding community is extended.” Three Oregon Children Ranch Blaze Victims Portland, Ore., Dec. 16.—()—Gor- don and Oran Smith, respectively aged 6 and 3, and Velma Seefeld, 8, burned to death near here last night when the home of Carl Seefeld, Halsey rancher, was destroyed by fire.
