THE KIDS WERE TOO CURIOUS
Immigrant Outfit Came Cheaply From
Iowa to Fargo.

A unique scheme for securing cheap
transportation for himself, his wife
and four children which has been in
vented and was being carried out by
an Iowa farmer was frustrated through
the vigilance of Superintendent Burt
at Fargo, added to the curiosity of the
children. While walking past the
through freight from the east which
was standing in the yards, Superinten-
dent Burt observed some youngsters
looking out of the side of box car
He decided to investigate and was
greatly surprised to find not only the
children but father and mother, two
cows, two horses and farming outfit
all loaded in one car. The party car
ried supply of food sufficient to last
several days and had evidently made
careful preparations for the trip.
In explanation of his conduct the
farmer related a very pitiful tale. He
stated that he did not have sufficient
money to purchase tickets for his fam
lily and so conceived the idea of char
tering car and thus transporting
family, live stock and goods in the
same conveyance. But for the over
weening curiosity of the children who
grew tired of their cramped quarters
and wanted to see something OF the
outside world the scheme would doubt
less have been successfully carried
out.
Arrangements were made by Super
intendent Burt for transporting the
wife and children on the west bound
passenger as far as Windsor, the
destination of the party.
