Geo. Gamers spirited team
took lively run with the milk
conveyance Wednesday and it is a
miracle that someonein the crowded
streets did not sustain injuries. The
horses started at HI. J. Schmidt's
where the driver, Clarence Me
Mahon, was delivering milk. They
ran down main street to the Wright
house corner then turned south,
but had barely changed their course
when a collision took place with
Frank Tebeau's team approaching
from the other direction. The
tongues Of both sleighs came square
" together and had either inpaled a
horse some bad work would have
resulted. The thoroughly fright
ened steeds were here brought to
a stop and captured. Milk bottles
were strewn along the street and
the sleigh somewhat broken but
outside of that no damages resulted.

Rathbone Sisters Wednesday even

spoons and nut picks and Mrs. Ray
a set of dessert spoons. The former
has held the chair Of past chief and
the latter has been record keeper
for term Of three years. The pre-
sentation was decidedly impressive.

not enjoying the winter in Califor-

writes he is obliged to wear two
suits of underwear in order to keep
from shivering.

Joe Bendorf does not wish it
understood that because he has
purchased a farm that he intends
to again take up farming. The
