The -four mill at the Minnesots
river near the Big Stone depot
burned down Sunday morning
The origin of the fire is as
yet not known, but 1T is said
some tramps were sleeping in
the building and that the fire
may have started from their
ignitng matches. The loss was
total, valued at $4,000 with in
surauce of $4,000. The mill was
erected about 25 years ago by
John Kaercher but for some
years has been owned and oper.
ated by Fred Sanborn. 1t has
not been decided whether the
mill will be rebuilt or not.
Manager Mooar OF the Farm
er's telephone company has had
a crew of men at work at Wilmot
putting up an exchange and do.
ing construction work in that
vicinity. He says exchanges
have been put in at Revillo and
Albee. Connections have been
made with theexchanges in Gary
and Marietta; subscribers can
now talk with the people in these
towns. Connections with other
nearby towns will be arranged
for in the near future. New lines
are being put up at Big Stone
and one has already been run to
the park from that city.
A merry party of about fifty
four people of the north part of
town went out to the dam last
Friday and proceeded to have a
good time. There we're old and
young-all joining with one view
in mind-the best time could be
had by staying at home and not
by riding long distance in the
heat in order to have an outing
and picnic. That they had it is
a foregoneconclusion to hear any
of them tell about it. Provisions
for refreshments were made and
an elegant supper served after
which the children were allowed
to wade in the water to their
hearts content. Games and
other amusemeuts were indulg-
ed in.
A sad accident occurred at
Simpson Park last Thursday
afternoon. Clifford MacLach-
Ian, the little eight year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Mac
Lachlan of Watertown, was in
bathing with several other chill
dren and the others haying gone
out of the water to dress, the
boy was left alone for a short
time. 1t was during this inter-
val that the child was drowned,
but just how the accident hap
pened is not known. The boy
was the youngest of a family of
three children and the only son.
The remains we're taken to Wat
ertown for interment, which
took place last Sunday. The
accident cast pail of gloom
over the encampment at the
lake.
Speaking of the Fourth of July
celebration at Webster, the Re-
porter and Farmer gives the
Waubay juvenile band the fol-
lowing complimentary notice:
1T was during the ball game that
the crowd heard some splendid music
coming from toward the depot, and
looking that way saw Drum Major
Edward Tower and the Waubay Kid
Band, in thier pretty red suits, bring
ing the Waubay deleg ration to the cell
epr alton. The way those little fellows
play IS just marvellous. No one who
listened to and watched them during
the two days celebration is surprised
that the Milwaukee railway company
is pleased to use them as one of the
prominent features of their popular
excursions. We could not say
enough about the Waubay Kid Band
ii we were to talk our head off. AS
musical organization it is superb,
and Is composed of a fine bunch of
little gentleman"
