1910 Apr 28 – Fork River

Mr. Clawson paid Dauphin a visit last week.

George Frame, who had been farming in this district for some years, was found dead near the stable. The body was found by a neighboring farmer, G. Shannon, last Tuesday. He at once gave information and the coroner, Dr. Harrington of Dauphin, was notified, also R. Frame at Kelso. Mr. Frame came by the first train on receipt of the sad news, and on getting to Dauphin saw Dr. Harrington and told him that George Frame was subject to epileptic fits. On the strength of this the coroner did not think a post mortum examination necessary. The body must have laid over a week before found. Mr. Frame was born in Hamilton, Scotland about sixty years ago. He was a bachelor.

1910 Apr 28 – Winnipegosis

A very successful social was held in the Methodist Church on Thursday, April 21st. The church was crowded and a good programme consisting of songs, recitations and dialogues was gone through. The chair was taken by the Rev. W.E. Rowan and a very pleasant evening was spent. The net proceeds realized the magnificent sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, truly a noble effort.

Mrs. Malo, of Vancouver, B.C., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Derochers, here for a few weeks.

George Frame, who has lived on a homestead here for some time, was found dead Friday morning in his stable. The cause of death is unknown other than he was subject to fits. He had been dead some days before being found, as he lived alone on the homestead.

Hon. Hugh Armstrong was in town a few days in connection with his fish business and other matters.

The Government are now installing a new and improved dredge here to operate at the mouth of the Mossey River.

The ice on Lake Winnipegosis has not yet broken up, but it is expected it will be clear in a week or ten days.

A case of assault and rape is reported at South Bay, near here. The victim was unable to identify the assailant. The attorney-general has been communicated with and has been asked to send a detective. Local authorities are now working on the case.

1910 Mar 10 – Find Baby in Bundle

At Mr. Mark Cardiff’s home about 11 o’clock Tuesday night there came two sharp rings at the front door bell. Mr. Cardiff happened to be in the backyard at the time and Dr. Beauchamp who was in the house, went to the door and discovered a bundle on the veranda. He brought it in and when Mr. Cardiff came in they at once examined the bundle and to their surprise found it contained a well-developed baby boy about two weeks old. The baby was wrapped in an old shawl with note attached. “Please look after baby – mother in trouble.” Chief Hillman was notified, but except the shawl and note there is no clue to its identity. Mr. Cardiff has had several offers from persons wishing to adopt the little stranger but those a home seem loth to part with it.

1910 Mar 10 – Former Dauphinite Suicides

Harry Smith, residing 15 miles south of Tisdale, met a tragic death Thursdays. He was found by a neighbour suspended to a beam in his stable and quite dead. No reason can be assigned for the act. His financial standing was good and nothing strange was noted in his demeanour.
Smith left Dauphin last spring for Tisdale to take up homestead duties. He sold his farm here, which was situated on the Vermillion River, three miles south of town.
He leaves a young widow and child and our months old.

1910 Mar 10 – Ethelbert

A very pretty wedding took place in the Methodist Church on Wednesday evening, March 2nd, before a crowded church of interested spectators, guests and relations. The bride was Miss Annie Eastman, youngest daughter of Allan Eastman of Garland. The bridegroom was Frank A. Hoare of Pine River. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Greig of Minitonas. Kenneth Eastman acted as best man, and was supported by Miss Pearl Mills as bridesmaid. The bridge was attired in pale blue silk, trimmed with white lace, and wore a wreath of orange blossoms and a net veil. The bridesmaid was dressed in pale pink silk and white lace.
After the marriage the guests, numbering 150, adjourned to the pool-room where a sumptuous repast had been prepared by Mrs. Neil Mills, to which ample justice was done. The room was then cleared for dancing, the music being provided by the McMurray Orchestra of Dauphin. Dancing continued to the wee sma’ hours of the morning, with just an interval at midnight for the refreshments. The presents were both numerous and valuable.
There was a nice gathering of young people at the manse on Thursday evening, the 3rd inst. to give a farewell to Miss M. McCauley, who is leaving the mission for a time owning to ill health. There were about fifty persons present, including a few families, amongst whom were Mr. and Mrs. Leander Hill, the sec.-treas., Mr. and Mrs. Skaife, postmaster, and Mr. A. McPhedrian, station agent. During the evening a testimonial of appreciation was read by Gordon Hill to Miss McAulay, and a present is to be forthcoming shortly as a token of the esteem in which Miss McCauley is held by the “Conquerors Club” of young people. After joining hands to the tune of Auld Lang Syne, the meeting broke up, some singing “She’s a jolly young fellow.”
Ethelbert is busy these days shipping cordwood, lumber and cattle. Donald McLean, brother of John McLean, is loading two cars of lumber, stock, etc. for his farm out west.

1910 Mar 3 – Winnipegosis

A very large audience gathered in the Methodist Church on Saturday evening, to hear Dr. Medd lecture on “Tuberculosis.” The chair was occupied by the Rev. W.R. Rowan, minister of the church, who in introducing the lecturer took the trouble of saying that it was the Doctor’s first attempt at public speaking and trusted that the audience would give him their best attention and sympathy. This the audience did and the lecture proved to be highly interesting and instructive. The lecturer laid great stress on the fact that dirt and dust were the principal carrying factor of tubercular germs and made a strong appeal for the admittance into the home-life of sunlight, fresh air and space, which he sad were the deadly enemies of tuberculosis. Other important matters were touched upon in the course of the lecture, and the information and advise given should prove to be of great benefit to the people of Winnipegosis.
On the proposition of W.E. Rowan, seconded by Mr. Shannon, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the Dr. for his interesting lecture. Cake and ice cream were afterwards served. The proceeds amounted to twenty dollars.

1910 Feb 17 – Fork River

Another one of our bachelors got married lately – Mr. Flemming Wilson and Miss Brownlee. They are going to reside in Dauphin. We wish them every happiness for their future life.
Mrs. H.H. Scrase, Marjorie and Miss Nixon paid Dauphin a visit last week.
Miss Olive and Eva Clarke paid us a short visit last Friday night.
The engine went dead last Friday night from Winnipegosis, and kept passengers waiting at Fork River till six o’clock Saturday morning, causing them all great inconvenience.
The inaugural entertainment of the Black and White Minstrels (familiarly known as the Magpies) given in the Orange Hall on Tuesday evening the 8th inst. was a decided success. The first part of the programme consisted of a negro minstrel troupe, in which songs an gags were the order of the day. While all the performers did well, special mention may be given to miss Pearl Wilson and Mr. T.N. Briggs, both of whom sang excellently, the latter also discharging the duties of cornerman very successfully. The interval between the first and second parts was employed in handing round ice cream, to the accompaniment of song and dance. The last part of the programme consisted of a sketch entitled “The Happy Dustman,” and a short farce, “Turning him out.” This was very well received and was remarkably well acted. Here again it is perhaps invidious to make special mention of anyone but Mr. T. Briggs as “Nobbs” and Mrs. Howlett as “Susan” were excellent impersonations. The following were the dramatis personae: Nicodemus Nobbs, T.N. Briggs; Mackintosh Moke, S. Howlett; Susan, Mrs. S. Howlett; Mrs. Moke, Miss Nixon.

1910 Jan 20 – Jammed to Death

Thos. Michael a teamster at one of Barrows lumber camps at Grandview, was jammed Tuesday between two sleigh loads of logs on a runway and crushed so badly that he died shortly after the accident. Dr. Shortreed brought him to the hospital here Wednesday morning and he expired shortly after arriving. He is an American and his home is in Wisconsin.

1910 Jan 20 – Fork River

The Rev. H.H. and Mrs. Scrase and Mrs. King visited Mowat and Oak Brae district last week.
Services are held at Mowat schoolhouse fortnightly by the Rev. H.H. Scrase regularly at 11 o’clock. The missioner welcomes everybody in the district to these services.
The Englishman’s rest at Fishing River is now opened with Mr. A.B. Hodgson in charge.
We are sorry to hear that Mr. W. Benner is down with typhoid fever. We hope to hear that he will soon be around again.
Some of our ratepayers would like to ask our Mossey River Council if the December meeting has been published or was it of so little importance being the wind up of the year we have not seen it yet.
Another matter under the old Reeve and council a yearly report was published and distributed to the ratepayers showing the amount awarded to each ward and how it was spent, the amount of salary and mileage to each councillor and the amount paid to each road commissioner for letting work and mileage in each ward. If such a report of 1909 were published it would prove interesting reading for the ratepayers. The auditors report printed on a piece of paper four inches square is not enough for the amount of taxes raised. E should have a fuller report gotten out by the Sec.-Treas. at the end of each year.

1910 Jan 20 – To the Editor of the Herald

SIR: – We notice in last week’s press our genial friend the Mowat correspondent, is on the war-path again after a couple of months rest. It is the ministers this time. He must be short of material when he says he seldom sees a minister now days. Where does the fault lie when a man attends divine worship only once or twice a year at most?
The English church ministers stationed here have held fortnightly services for ears at the Mowat schoolhouse, about two miles from our Mowat friend, except when roads were impassable to walk or drive. The majority of the people have been visited three or more times a year considering he has to walk unless come friend drives him occasionally. I consider our minister has done his duty well and if there is any kick coming it is from the ministers for the indifference a great many people show regarding church matters and as to the way they are carried on and how the ministers of bot denominations get around to the different stations they are expected to preach and visit in fair or stormy weather, in a large field like ours, comprising Fork River, Mowat, Winnipegosis and Sifton. Let us put ourselves in these men’s places. Would we put up with the same hardship on the small salary we dole out to them? I say no, we would not. Then let us help them instead of grousing. The great secret of help is encouragement.

Wm. King.
Minister’s Warden and Fin. Sec.

Today in the Dauphin Herald – Jan 6 – 1910

1910 Jan 6 – Ethelbert

Christmas week was a busy one, there being two Christmas trees at the Church. The first was under the Rev. C. Munro and the second under Mr. R. Damery. The gifts at both were numerous and valuable. A special feature at the entertainment held on Christmas Eve was the concert by the children and young people of Ethelbert, which included a cantata, by G.F. Root called, Santa Claus. The cantata, which is descriptive of the Christmas festival included ten solos, nine full choruses and were all rendered in a very creditable manner.
There were quite a number of family reunions for the holiday, besides a few visitors.
The weather has been ideal Christmas weather, and skating is the popular recreation.
Christmas 1909, will he long remembered here at least as a time of joy and

1912 Jan 4 – Rowland Parke Killed

Some few weeks ago Mrs. Rowland Parke, of Sperling, Man., and late of Dauphin Plains, received a cable from Wagg Wagga, N.W.S., to the effect that Mr. Parke had been killed while going for a load of wood. Since then newspapers containing accounts of the accident have been received. It appears that his employer, Mr. McGeoch, of Egan Creek, five miles from Yerong Creek, sent Mr. Parke for a load of wood about 11 o’clock on Oct. 28th, and as he had not returned at 2 o’clock, he sent a boy to see what was the matter. The boy found Mr. Parke insensible near a fallen tree. He was at once taken to the hospital, where he remained unconscious from the time of the accident until the 31st, a period of three days.
Mr. Parke was one of the early settlers of Dauphin, coming here some twenty years ago. He leaves a widow and four mall children, the eldest being under 12 years. Mr. Parke is now a resident at Sperling, Man.

Miss Olive and Lizzie Clark, of Dauphin, are home for the holidays.
The annual Xmas tree, under the auspices of the Church of England S.S., was held on Dec. 22nd, in the Orange Hall. It was a fine evening and a large crowd turned out. The tree looked fine and was heavily loaded with presents. At 8:30 the chair was taken by Mr. Wm. King, churchwarden, and an excellent programme was rendered under the direction of Miss Mason and Miss Allerton and praise must be given them for their assistance. The program opened with a coral called “Good King Wincheless,” recitations and songs were given by the school children. After the program the S.S. prizes were given out by Mr. King, superintendent and Mr. Harding, lay reader. Mr. H. Benner made a good Santa Claus. Supper was served at 12 o’clock and everybody went home happy and contented.
The “Jackass” who writes for the “Jackdaw” column for the Press, had an item in the last issue of that paper referring to the likely change in the post officer here. When he states that the prospective postmaster had no vote he simply shows that he don’t know what he is talking about. It would be idle on your Correspondent’s part to waste any time replying to the little fellow as I find he is regarded as a joke pretty much by everybody.
