"THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN."
A Pleasing Demonstration at Glendive Recently.
Ed. Yellowstone Journal:
Tuesday evening witnessed a demonstration here that proved conclusively the "Brotherhood of Man," and that people are not altogether devoted to self. The occasion referred to was the return of Mr. and Mrs. O'Rourke, bringing their son Tommy, who was lost for nine days in a tamarack swamp near Foley, Minn. The story of his loss and the almost superhuman efforts made by the relatives and the whole people of St. Cloud and Benton county to find him are certainly well known. The final effort, made on the appeal of Editor McDonald of the St. Cloud Times, and Editor Bell of the Sauk Rapids Free Press, by means of which a train was furnished by the Great Northern railroad and soon loaded with men from those two towns, was successful and the boy found. The people of Glendive turned out en masse to welcome the little fellow home: the cannon was fired, church bell rung, the whistles blew and everybody rejoiced.
In this connection Mr. and Mrs. O'Rourke desire to return their thanks through the columns of the Journal to the officials of the Great Northern railroad, who furnished free transportation and the free use of their telegraph wire. Also, to the Northern Pacific railroad, the officers of which did the same thing, and particularly are they indebted to Mr. F. H. Marsh, superintendent of the Yellowstone division, for his untiring efforts to aid in the search. To the newspaper press of the whole country they feel greatly indebted for the interest taken. But, to their friends and neighbors of Glendive, language almost fails to express their feeling for the great sympathy extended in the hour of distress and the hearty cheers and kindly words when the danger was over. The parents hope that none others will be called upon to pass through the deep waters, and that they may never be called upon to return in kind to any the many kindnesses received,
