Miss Lizzie Board OF Burtrum, 8
visiting friends in town.
The Birchdale and Grey Eagle Town
Boards had a joint meeting few days
ago and laid p road from John Dix s
saw mill in this town straight west
until it connects with the east and west
roa1, at the corner of Mr.. William
Ayers's farm in Birchdale. That is
one good job done which has caused
considerable trouble. Three or four
petitions had to be gotten up before it
was laid. 1t is now q shorter and
straighter road from all points west to
town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Clark returned
from Little Falls on Tuesday. They
had been there to see Mrs. Clark's
father, Alex. Young who is receiving
medical treatment for injuries received
short time ago in a Northern Pacific
coach at Burtrum by careless switch
ing. The cars in making coupling
cane together with such force as to
knock him from his seat. He is seri-
ously i'll at this time.

evening and spent pleasant evening.
They left several presents.
On Sunday, March Is, R.H. Sitter

MT space here to tell just how happy
r. Fl. is. He got just what he ordered.

Ii, 1900, by Rev. N. G.. Smith. Walter
Harris and Miss Susie S. Robbins both

and respected in this vicinity. Their

and prosperous married life. Only a
few relatives and intimate friends were

Henry Cunningham, engineer. and
VIM. Smiley, fireman on mixed train
1O1 on the Little Falls and Da xota
railroad narrowly averted an accident
on Monday by their presence of mind
and close attention to their duties.
They were steaming into town at their
usual rate of speed and as they neared
State-st. crossing going west, c. Fl.
Mitchell of Birchdale leisurely drove
on the crossing with his back toward
the approaching train The engineer
instantly shut off steam, reversed his
engine and applied air brakes and that
heavy laden train of sixteen cars,
every wheel sliding, came to a cold
stand still within six feet of Mitchell's
team. In other words that heavily
laden train was brought to stand still
within distance of one rails length.
There was heavy north wind blowing
which kept Mr.. Mitchell from hearing
the train. One singular thing about it
was his team stopped squarely on the
to them. People are too careless about
looking for trains when crossing the
track. 1t is very seldom a person can
knock train off the track by driving
small team of horses into it. Mr.. M.
will not be apt to try it again soon.
A. D. Carpenter was Grey Eagle
caller on Monday and Tuesday and
it turned cold.
