From Lee (Leland) Stickland (64): 

Gary and all present, former, future Dunseith citizens.

I enjoy the information and the stories so much,

Some may recall a gentleman named Pete Poole.

I believe he ‘circulated’ in the area near and around Kelvin Store.

He had a saying that he owned

40 ACRES OF WHITEFACE COWS AND A FLEET OF FORD V8s.

There are many stories; some true, some nearly true, some subject to source of, etc…
Whatever, my few words from South West North Dakota.   Lee

From Gary Morgan (54): 

Gary & All,

In the Early 50s Beulah Shurr had a class project where her students went out and interviewed some of the old timers around Dunseith and then wrote up the interview.  Some of the results showed up in the Dunseith history book ” Prairie Past and Mountain Memories”.  My brother Dick’s effort is on page 323.
He interview Lillie Kotchevar about the Dunseith bank robbery.  Lillie was a little girl at the time and the robber also robbed her father’s store.  I thought possibly your readers would be interested in seeing a newspaper account of this incident.  Also, a picture of the would be robber laid out on a slab.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what newspaper this was taken from.  Possibly the “Willow City Eagle”.
This incident brings a couple ot things to mind: 1.Did Cashier Tucker exagerate the amount of the take or is there still $700 stashed somewhere within an hours horseback ride’, round trip, between the hills & Dunseith?
2.  If this were to occur today, the citizens of Dunseith would certainly be in deep do do.  Especially the Major, he killed the man’s horse!

Folks, If any of you see any corrections that need to be made with any of these class lists that I am sending out, please let me know.  I have not yet made a formal distribution of the class lists from 1930 thru 1945. I will be doing that in a few days, when I’m finished with the rest of the 30′s classes.  I will be mailing hard copies to those that do not have email.  Gary
