Webster, owing to the fact that the
storm of Wednesday night took down
miles of the telegraph lines owned by
the railway company between this city
and Milbank on the east and Aberdeen
on the west, is now train Gispatcher's
station; and q. W. Boss, train master,
whose headquarters are in Minneapolis,
is here in charge of trains going each
way. Mr.. Boss was on the train COM
ing west Wednesday night and said
that near Summit he saw that the sleet
storm had made the ordinary telegraph
wires as large as his wrist and the great
weight was already pulling down poles,
and therefore, in order to avoid delays
in railway service he decided TO take mp
headquarters in this city for few days
and grant trains the right 10 move in
each direction .om here Mr.. Boss
was in this section of the state twalye
years ago, and said that then quarter
section of land could not be sold because
no one wanted it. Now quarter could
not be sold because very few people
have the value price
Frank Ritner, a farmer who lives east
of town drove in Tuesday and tied his
team on the north side of the Bell Cloth
ing house, the horses got nervous broke
loose and ran away, ran into telephone
pole broke the harness all to pieces,
broke the tongue and ran the severed
end about seven inches into one of the
horses just back of the shoulder. DR..
Judge was called and dressed
the wound, the doctor thinks theanimal
will come out all right This is a prac-
teal demonstration that itpays farmers
when they come TO town to put their
horses in barn. BY the time Mr..
Ritner pays for repairing and doctors
bin it will probably cost him ten dollars
and this amount would pay for stahling
a team for a long time, besides releav-
ing one of the Inconvenience and annoy
ance of d runaway, and the necessity of
watching the team for months after
wards TO see that they do not repeat the
experience. 1t looks to aisas penny wise
and pound foolish for farmers to take
the chances of letting their teams stand
out when the charge for stablnlg il -
nominal.
