1910 May 19 – A Brilliant Sight

The sight of Halley’s comet as witnessed by a few of Dauphin’s citizens early Thursday morning will not be forgotten. It did not appear on regulation time of scientists at 11 Wednesday evening but came in view about 4 a.m. Thursday. It was a fine sight, appearing like a huge ball of fire with brilliant colour of light radiating from it. It was in plain view for twenty minutes.

1910 May 19 – Arrested at Dauphin

1910 May 19 – Travelled with a Corpse

Sitting with a corpse for several miles was the gruesome experience of Peter McEwen of Spruce Creek, Saturday last. He was bringing an aged neighbour, Wade Rothwell, to the hospital, when the gentleman expired on the road. Mr. McEwen’s feelings can be better imagined than described, when he made the discovery that Rothwell was dead. The remainder of the trip was hurriedly made and medical aid summoned, but the spark of life had fled.
Deceased was 74 years of age and resided at Spruce Creek for several years. He had been suffering from an old complaint from some time before his death. The remains were taken to Wawanesa for entertainment.

1914 Apr 16 – Chas. Best Hanged Himself

Charles Best, aged 47, and one of the first settlers on the Gilbert Plains, committed suicide on Friday by hanging himself to a brace in the granary. Deceased has been of unsound mind for the past two years, only having come home from the asylum about two weeks ago. He leaves a wife, six sons and three daughters, the eldest about 18 years old.
Deceased was well-known in Dauphin, having hauled grain to the market for several years in the early days.

C. Clark of Paswegan, Sask., after spending a few days among his numerous friends at this point left for home. He was one of the old-timers, living here for ten years. He says he would rather live in Manitoba.
Professor Robinson is busy these days and intends trying farming for a little recreation as he states the bottom has fallen out of the fishing “biz”. The other fellow, he says, gets the wad. Try mushrooms, Jack.
J.G. Lockhart has returned from a trip to the east and intends investing heavily in real estate, etc.
Our Scotch friends seem to be taking alternate trips to the Lake Town. What will be the outcome we are not sure, as it’s neither sleighing or wheeling and there is too much wind for wings. Still, where there is a will there is always a way.
The Rev. Canon Jeffery, of Winnipeg, will hold Communion and baptismal service in All Saints’ Church on Sunday, April 10th at 3 p.m.

At a meeting of the Horse Breeders’ Association on the 7th it was decided to disband the majority being of the opinion it was cheaper to breed scrubs for another year. We don’t hesitate to say the farmers have made the mistake of their lives. It takes backbone and money, sure, but it has to be undertaken sooner or later. We will have to let the groomers set back if we ever intend raising saleable horses, or, for that matter, any other kind of good stock.
Mrs. J. Rice is off to Dauphin for a few days holidays.

1912 Feb 29 – Part of Head Blown Off

Fifteen Year Old Brother Accidentally Kills His Sister, Mrs. Ludwick Mazurk
A terrible gun accident happened in the Galician settlement in the Riding Mountain, about 15 miles south west of town, on Friday morning last, when Mrs. Ludwick Mazurk, was shot in the head by her 15 year old brother, Mike Tobako. At the time of the accident Mrs. Mazurk and her brother were alone in a room in her father’s house. The boy was examining an old shotgun and in raising it in some manner discharged the gun. Mrs. Mazurk, was only a few feet away and received the entire charge in the head in the vicinity of the ear, blowing part of the top of her head off.
Death was instantaneous.
When the report of the gun was heard Mr. Mazurk, who was in an adjoining room, rushed to where his wife was, only to witness a terrible sight, his wife lying dead on the floor with part of her head blown off and her brains bespattered about.
The brother after the discharge of the gun, and he saw what he had done, almost went wild with grief and fled from the house.
Later in the day Mr. Mazurk came to town and notified Provincial Constable Rooke of the accident, and he and Dr. Harrington, coroner, repaired to the home of Mr. Tobako. After hearing the statement of the young brother it was evident that the shooting was accidental and Dr. Harrington deemed and inquest unnecessary.
Mrs. Mazurk was only 22 years of age and had been married but a month. In the course of a few days, the young couple intended moving to Dauphin to reside. Deceased had been in service in the town for several years and was well thought of by her employers.
