Henry Ferguson might have
lost his team and wagon. When
he arrived at the meadow he unhitched his horses, tied them to
the wagon, and struck out to
fight fire. But the fire came so
rapidly towards his shanty and
his wagon that the hair on the
horses' legs were singed and
some spokes of his wagon burning, before he could return.Had
he put the horses into the

on the N. P. line, opposite Bis-
mark. They had intended to
make short stops at a number
of towns on the way out but
found the time too limited.They
were very favorably impressed
with Mandan and surrounding
country. They took the N, P.
flyer and made the next stop at
Spokane, Wash.
At Spokane, the Great Northern train was taken for Quincy,
Washinton. which is the hi
of many Pierrites. They had a
good visit with Fred Dahmen,
who has a fine farm and is doing well.
They also saw there, John
Pleckenstein, William, Louis
and Joseph Virnig, sons of Joseph Virnig, Sr., Tony Rauch,
son of Jos. Rauch of Agram,
MatH Nelles and Mike Schmidt,
son of George Smith of Pierz.
They are all in good health and
are contended.
One of the greatest points of
interest, and especially for Min-
nesotans who never see fruit on
the tree in their native state, is
Vanadis, whicli boasts one of
the finests apple orchards in
the land. This place is about
iiO miles from Quincy.Bred Dahmen tool: them there by team.
It is nothing uncommon there to
see large trees so weighted
down with apples that the limbs
have to be supported.Here they
met Nick and John Dahmen, sons
of John Dahmen of Granite, and
a son of George R. Hoffman of
Buh.
That whiskey, like some liniments, is as good for beast as
lor man was proved on the way
aaok to Quincy. One of Fred's
iiorses lay down, and, tho many
different methods of persuasion
known to such horsemen as Boser and Fred Dahmen were tried,
the nag refused to move. While
they stood there on the prairie
bewailing the hardness of their
fate, John Grell pasned around
a bottle of bourbon. Fred remarked that this liquor might
start the horse and suggested
giving it what had remained in
ihe bottle. Greil at first refused to do this, saying he would
almost rather remain there, or
walk back to Quincy with
the whiskey than       to
ride back in comfort without it.
As a fast resort the contents of
the bottle were poured into the
horse's mouth, which, to their
astonishment jumped up and
started off on a trot.
From Quincy   they   drove   to
a station on the  Milwaukee  R-
R.     Fred    accomyanied    them
irom now on.     The   first   stop
was at Aiiensberg where Fred's
son   William is employed. Here
is where irrigation begins,   and
an eighty acre iarm is worth a-
bout   sp_A),UO0.    After   spending
an nour visiting   with  William,
and   sightseeing,   they   started
tor Tacoma to see the Spanfelb
ners whom ttiey did   not find at
home.    Took boat   thru   Puget
Sound for Seattle, but   remained there only a tew hours until
tne train left for Mt. Angel. Ore.
