Apropos Of knee breeches a CORE
spondent Of the London Express quotes
an anecdote from Captain Gronow's
"Recollections" which puts the whole
case in a nutshell. The baillie de fer

breeches. with a cooked hat and a
court sword, the slender proportions
Of which greatly resembled those of
his legs. "Do tell me, my dear bail

RAILROAD
ACCIDENT
Narrowly Averted by a Farmer
Who Flagged the Train

The recent heavy rains have done
considerable damage to low lands,
particularly along the Sioux river.
So much water has not been seen for
years and it will no doubt ruin the
crop in many places along the Sioux
river bottom. In some places the
stream has overfowed its banks until
it is nearly mile wide.
The fierce rain and wind storm on
Saturday night delayed the train from
the north several hours and on at
tempting to return to Watertown Sun
day morning, number was delayed a
mile this side Of Estelline for about
six hours on account OF high water.
A crew was put to work and the road
made passable but on attempting to
return Sunday night, the construction
train in charge of Conductor Redmond
and which was running ahead OF the
passenger, was tagged by Albert ode
gard at a point some distance north
of the junction.
A ClOudburst is said to have oc-
Cured in Sterling township on sun
day and the large volume of water
burst the bounds Of Deer creek and
flowed over the Northwestern tracks,
carrying away about three feet Of earth
and leaving the ties and rails sus-
pended in the air. The iorethought
OF Mr.. Odegaard in going over there
for an examination averted what
might have been a serious disaster.
This occurred about ten O'Clock
Sunday night and owing to the late
ness Of the hour the passenger re-
turned to Watertown and the work
train tied up at Bruce until 4 O'Clock
the next morning when they set to
work to repair the damage caused by
the flood. No trains were run on the
branch Monday, all passengers being
carried around by way of Tracy.
Tuesday morning a passenger was
sent north but, we understand, was
again delayed this side of Estelline
but traffic was again resumed yester.
day though the trains were all de-
! layed by the slow time they were com

A Good Show

The Breckenridge Stock Co. closed
a weeks engagement at the Grand
opera house Saturday night. They
are an excellent company and deserv-
Ing OF much better business than
they had here. The fates were against
them, however, for it rained nearly
every night, and this in connection
with the depressed financial condition
OF the community, was not conducive
to good patronage. The company is
as good as any we have had since the
house was opened. They have a fine
line Of specialties and scenery and a
new play was produced every night.
Regardless OF the light patronage they
did not slight any Of their work and
have made many fast friends in
Brookings. The. REGISTER trusts they
will again appear in our city under
more favorable conditions.
