Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1906-11-01

Word was received in this city Tues
day that Peter J. Fiksdal was very i'll
in Winnipeg and his brother, Lars,
departed that night to be at his BROTH
er's bedside Wednesday another tele-
gram was received announcing that he
was dead. We did not learn the partic-
ulars only that it was a complicated
case Of typhoid fever. We will give
particulars next week.
DR.. Carl E. Hash, vino was for many
years a practicing physician in Webster
but moved to WATERFOWL a few years
ago, was a visitor in this city Saturday
and Sunday. The doctor reports a very
lucrative practice in his new home. He
was enroute to New Orleans, La, where
he intends to spend the winter in the
mild southern climate and to occupy
his time and mind by taking a post
graduate course in a medical college
located there
Mrs. Henry Thole and children went
to Webster last Wednesday where she
will remain for the winter while the
children attend school. Mr.. Thole
drove over with a load of household
good the same day and was caught in
the snow storm and did not return home
until Monday of this week. He reports
roads in the hills almost impossible and
observed along the way that very little
threshing has been done in that section
of country.-Langford Bugle.
Arthur Rieger has been appointed
agent for the railroad company at
Wallace pending the time the company
puts in a telegraph station. He seems
to take kindly to the situation. While
here Sunday he informed the writer
that he was already receiving large
oun of grain. He has the found
alton laid for his residence and is push
ing the work as rapidly as possible. He
reports all members of the Webster
colony as prospecting and enjoying good
health.
Bauske & Hanson, of the City Meat
Market, wish to thank their many pat.
ROM for their liberal patronage during
the past year and request a continuance
of the same in the future. They will
still handle the best Of everything in
the meat line, and as a special induce
ment to secure cash trade for the COM
ing winter months are offering a prem
ium which is of great value in every
kitchen. 1t is a cylinder basting and
baking pan. a good one. Go in and see
them.
Some bastard, taking advantage of
Rev. Martins prominence in the tenn
perance movement, and hoping there
fore to cast reflection on the parties
who have been engaged in the liquor
business, went to the Congregational
church Friday night and broke about
one hundred dollars worth of glass
of the windows. The man who will do
a trick like that has no manhood, is a
coward who skulks in darkness and is
worthy of a coat of tar and feathers and
a ride on a rail.
Fred Booth who is employed at the
Webster aill, was babbitting a box on
one Of the machines last Friday when
for some reason the box exploded and
broke all to pieces. One OF the flying
fragments struck Mr.. Booth in the left
eve and tore away quite a chunk Of the
eye ball but very fortunately for him
did not injure the pupil, and he will be
able to see all right again in a few days.
1t was a close shave for him and he ION.
sidered himself indeed lucky that the
accident was no worse.
There are many engineers ON the
through freight trains, especially the
stock trains, that do not seem to know
that they are forbidden by law to go
through the corporate limits of this city
at a speed greater THAI six miles an
hour. The majority of tn m go thun-
dering across Main street at a speed
nearer sixty miles. The authorities
should get after the railroad company
and make them correct this evil before
