Dr. Anguish came to Alber- ton about a year ago, entering the employ of the C., M. & St. P. R. R. Co. as physician. About a month ago he left for Portland to undergo treat- ment in the surgical hospital at that place in an effort to regain his health. After treatment for a while it was found that an operation, which caused his death, was necessary. Dr. Anguish was a member of the Masonic order in Grand Forks, N. D., the Mineral lodge of Alberton having recently conferred on him the second and third degrees of the order. He was also a member of the Moose lodge it Deer Lodge, Montana. For several years he had been a member of the Baptist thurch and a faithful and eainest christian. He was apAnted coroner ot Mineral county several months ago by the board of county commissioners.

Having resided in Alberton only a short time Dr. Anguish had formed a large circle of friends and acquaintances who, with . his relatives, mourn his death. The funeral services were held at NewbertWego . n, Wit Saturday. Alberton Notes EDIT R HAS TROUBLES c i • Before Large Crowd of Interested Spectators Local Scribe Pays Penalty For His Many Transgressions. 'On Sunday evening Ross Hargrave, editor of the Min- eral County Press, was publically horse -whipped in front of the Superior Drug Store by Miss Amelia Hoffman who is ass 9 ciated with H. Schoenfeld in the Superior Electric Light and Water Works. This affair was a culmination of a series of attacks made by the editor upon the personal af- fairs and busines4 tactics of the firm. Miss Hoffman, better known as Tauntie, is a vigorous woman past middle age, and has been actively engaged in, business in this locality for many years. The article in last week's Press, entitled \Kaiser Has Troubles,\ which was published in reference to the shutting off of the water on premises where the rules and regulations of the company were disregarded, together with previous slurs, caused Miss Hoffman to wield the quirt fast and furious for a few mo- ments. Mr. Hargrave, after the first surprise, proceeded to defend himself in a true pugilistic manner, dealing Miss Hoffman an uppercut. Deputy Sheriff MacDonald, how- ever, stepped between them and the wrath of Mr. Hargrave was momentarily turned upon the officer of the law for the interference. After a short bui pointed conversation the crowd dispersed and quiet once more reigned in the village street. HAPPENINGS IN lid re, Byron was- in MIE180Ui8 • LOCAL Tuesday of last week.
