The train wreck east of Raven
ma last Thursday morning Of
which we made mention last
week was not so unfortunate as
reported. A more fortunate end
ing probably never occurred in the
history of railroading. All the
coaches but one was thrown
from the track and several of
. them badly broken, yet no one
was killed and only three or four
slightly injured. The engineer
and conductor are credited with
exercising heroic judgment in
rescuing and providing for their
great load of humanity.
Ole Johnson, of Round Valley,
was among the friendly callers
at this office Tuesday. Mr..
Johnson is suffering with rheum-
atism and is contemplating TAX
ing trip to his old home in Nor
way, with the hopes of the sea
voyage helping him. If he con-
cludes to make the trip he will
go in time to attend the browning
of the king of Norway, which is
to be June 7. If he goes Bert
Englesjgerd will accompany him
in order to visit his aged father
who still lives there.
1t is now sure enough time to
clean up the yards-both fore

is not ONLY correct from a health.
