Reports from Chamberlain this
morning We're to the effect that there
was a strong possibility of the Mil
waukee bridge across the Missouri
river being repaired sufficiently so
that trains would be sen over it by
tomorrow.
Parties desiring to go west across
the river tomorrow can practically be
assured that the bridge across the
Missouri will be in condition for the
passage of trains. Chief Train Dis
patcher Anderson stated this norm
ing that the bridge would surely be
completed tomorrow.
Eugene Thimesen, who was injured
in the elevator accident at the Wild
mann hotel last Saturday evening, in
which he was all but killed, left
Thursday with his father for his
home at Huron. The boy seems to
be getting along very nicely and
aside from the swelled condition of
his head and the abrasions on his
face, he appears to be all right.
There seems to be no getting away
from this winter proposition-the
way the snow came down Wednesday
evening, when four inches of the
beautiful covered the earth's surface
and caused the average man another
backache in cleaning off his walk.
About the only thing left to do is to
lhumbly submit to all the unkindness
that winter wants to impose upon us
for the rest of the season.
Faneral services were held over
the remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Smith
at the home Of Mrs. Martha Duncan,
on the south side Wednesday at
2 O'Clock. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Carson, of Scot
land, and we're attended by the
friends of the family. The remains
, were laid to rest in Graceland Gene
terry. Rev. Mr.. Shaffer and family
have lived here but a short time,
looming in from the reservation a
week ago, and out there Mrs. Smith
contracted pneumonia, which caused
her death. Mr.. Shaffer is living here
temporarily while hunting up a To-
cation.
Joe Swift, who works for the
Mitchell Gas Co., says he knows what
it is to be partly ~electrocuted, and
he does not banker after the xper-
fence again. He has charge of the
electric appliances in the Gale the
atre and a few evenings ago while at
tending to his duties he came within
an inch of being electrocuted. He
was in the basement and while
standing on wet ground he reached
up to remove a globe from one of the
lights. He said his hand was wet
and when it came in contact with the
globe a circuit was formed and in
%stantly the current passed through.
He was unable to move or make any
noise, but Paul Scott saw that some
thing was wrong when Joe fell owe
against the brick wall of the boiler
He hurried to his assistance and
when he lifted Joe from the ground
the contact was broken. Joe, how.
ever, was about all in and was un.
able to stand. His heart action was
very weak and Paul tore open the
clothes of Joe and rubbed with a per
sistency and walked him around the
room sufficiently that he was partial
ly restored in the course of an hour
and a half. A black streak was ap.
parent across the face of MI. Swift
when the current passed through
