Louisiana, the newest and biggest

of the river almost daily, the story
evoked storm of indignation and

cation. Congressman Davey OF
Louisiana, was in Washington and
a visit to the Navy Department
resulted in a complete change Of

broken buggy wheel, there was no
damage done.
Monday noon when the carpenters
who are working on Hans Ratten-
borg's big barn on Creamery Hill

little faster, and little faster and
faster and when they got down to
the Blue Grass Creamery aud went
to turn the corner onto the bridge
the hayrack swayed, then dumped
the whole gang of workmen, rack
and all, off into the dirt and away
went the team with the running
gears of the wagon. They came
tearing into the station, SHE'D past
the people who tried to stop them,
ran down to the stock yards, turned
around, ran back up to the post
office when one of the mules said to
the other, "We've had all the fun we
want; let's quit" go they stopped
still and they didn't break thing.
The workmen picked themselves up
out of the dirt, came over to the
station, and happi ly no one was
injured in the least.
