HOW THEY FORDED A STREAM

HOW THEY FORDED A STREAM
EDITOR ADVANCE: The Minnesota
& Northern directors report any |
amount of fun, as well as profit, on
their recent trip north. One incident
is too good to go unrecorded. A few
miles south of Montevideo the first
team came to a swollen stream which
looked to be ten feet deep and flowing
ten miles an hour. Tie Elder was
driving and hauled up short. He did
not want any bath that early in the
day, but Old Settler grabbed the lines
and away went the team into the rag.
ing torrent. 1t was about two feet
deep. The second team had not come
in sight and those already across the
ravine were up on the bank beyond.
pretending to wiring the water out of
coats and blankets, when they came in
sight over the hill "Hello! those fel-
lows are wet. We are not going to DO
such fools as to drive into such place
as that, says the chief engineer. ''I.et
US go back to Marshall" says Max Up
the stream and down the stream they
drove, but no bridge could be found.
Still the boys kept wringing the water
out of their garments. At last q few
miles above delapidated crossing was
discovered and the attempt was made
| to lead the horses across one at time.
The first one who tried the gang. way.
however, thought he would look back
and see ifhis mate was following, when
the planks began to curl up and the
poor horse went over on the broad of
his back into that raging torrent, two
feet deep. Slid under the bridge and
vOt up with the structure on his back.
Then somebody did get wet, and some
body Got mad.
General Manager-"Im bet four
| shares of preferred stock those fellows
were fooling US"
Chief Engineer-"If they never got
wet bit, might have known Neil
would have been up to such a trick. but
Worthington banker to be up to such
a thing"
Little Max-"If I don't duck them
s'a,E ouc w;dow y" mnre ; ,; 1" "0'e'
The Driver-''My shins! Oh, my
Shins!"
The true depth of this deceptive
stream being now discovered, horses
were hitched up again, the ford made
in safety, Montevideo reached, and as
| suspected not one drop of water found
on the garments OF that other load of
jolly prOSpectors.
We need not add that the rest of the
week was put in in attempting to even
the score but without avail.
