Thomas Olsen, north of Elk Horn,
had a little excitement Tuesday
morning caused by his four horses
which were attached to pillow
getting tangled up and stirring
things some. None injured.

ings. One for himself, one for his

the millinery store and one for Chris
Hansen, the harnessmaker.

John Listed. Mrs. Anton Hansen,
Mrs. Juhl and Miss Mary Larsen, all
left Elk Horn Monday for Marine,
from whence they start on their trip
to Norway and Denmark. We trust
they may all have safe and plea
SAINT journey. Miss Larsen may not
return to America.
The Elk Horn Implement Co. and
Jerry Miller both built splendid
cement porches in front of their
establishments to reach from the
building out to the new walk. Chris
informs US he intends to make some
other changes, such as cement step
etc and will also paint his store

quested to be here.
The Kimballton Hydraulic Stone
Works still continue doing Gland
office" business. While we stood
and watched Tuesday, Martin Chris
Jensen bauled away load tor use on
his farm and two loads went out for
Oakfeld township. The Brayton
factory shipped a carload last week
to Hamlin. The demand for the
goods is far in excess of the capacity
and best of all, is growing better
every day.
Monday, Miss Christina Brecker
met with serious and very painful
accident; She was standing near a
large heavy barn door when sudden
ly and without warning, it came
crashing down upon her, pinioning
her under. She was badly bruised
about her head, her leg was broken,
and she was otherwise injured quite
badly. 1t was miraculous that she
escaped with her life.
A surprise party was given at the
M. Juhl home, Thursday night, the
object being 10 bid Mrs. Juhl goodbye
before her trip to Denmark. Five
wagon loads OF neighbors gathered at
their pleasant farm and had one OF
the best times of their lives until the
old kitchen clock struck two. The
guests had brought their own re-
freshments along and before leaving
treated themselves and hostess to a
bountitul spread after which they
shook hands with Mrs. Jnhl and babe
her farewell with their wish for a
most enjoyable trip.
Mr.. SSrensen. who is representing

already here and they will shortly
move into their new home. Mr..
Sorensen worked at the business in
Denmark and the past eight years

Horn he does not ask for great deal
and only trusts he may have a share
Of the trade of his country men, wher
wanting goods he carries.
