Hurley Beam to Be a Reporter On the Indianapolis Star.

Hurley Beam, son of Monon Agent W. H. Beam, who has been taking a printing course at the Winona Technical School at Indianapolis, has secured a position on the city reportorial staff of the Indianapolis Star. He has a nose for news And a fine command of language for a young man, and a natural streak of humor that is very entertaining. He should develop rapidly with city newspaper sinstruction and become a valuable mah for the newspaper that employs him. He was employed for several months at the Republican office and later at the Democrat office and his work stamped him as a fine newspaper man ;in embryo. Agent W. I}. Beam had a bad spell with his heart last night and suffered intensely. He has had no assistance at the depot for the past two or three weeks and the work is telling on him. His son Hurley came up from Indianapolis this morning to help him for a few days.

Fred Phillips returned yesterday from his t;rlp to Dakota and Montana. He says that the •storm which we had here the past two weeks did not start as far northwest as Montana, and that the fruit whs not hurt at all in that state. In North Dakota there was a big snow storm but he thinks the freeze not hard enough to hurt anything. Sam Pullins, with whom Fred went out, has a quarter section of land in North Dakota and 420 acres in Montana. The latter is irrigated land. It is nicely watered and has some good improvements. He has 70 acres of wheat about 6 inches high and has 100 acres in alfalfa and is now seeding in spring wheat and oats, something over 100 acres. He will return here in three 05 four days and remain until fall, having a tenant on his Montana land.
