The preliminary hearing of Mrs.

The G. q NV. R'y has found it
necessary to increase it's motive power
on this division on account of the new
extension end increased traffic. We
understand that nine locomotives
"Class r" have been turned we to
Dakota officials for service. The en-
gines are said to be the second larg-
est owned by the company. 1t is
further reported that they will be
used in hauling freight between Tracy
and Huron, being too heavy for the
track on the north and south line.
In other parts of the state the
storm of last Saturday afternoon was
a very serious affair. At Watertown
the big tent of Barnum & Bailey's
show was badly damaged. But at
Mitchell and vicinity the storm reach
ed the proportions of cyclone or sever
al of them. Several buildings in that
city were demolished, but no lives
lost. At and neal Mt. Vernon, about
IL miles from Mitchell, several build
ings were destroyed and one man j..
M. Pease, who left the safety of his
cellar to look after two of his boys
who were blowing III the field at a
little distance from the house, was
killed. The destruction at the two
places was caused by two separate
cyclones.
IF the devil was ever responsible
for the invention of a machine to try
mems tempers, his browning effort was
the gasoline engine. There is less
machinery and more ~cussedness in an
engine of that kind than my other
contrivence recorded in the patent of
flee. Just as we got to thinking we
knew a lot about such a contraption,
and had advice on the subject to give
away, our machine started to buck
ing just at the time when we needed
it the most. Anything and everything
we could do for it brought forth the
same result it still bucked. At this
writing we have secured the services

to either make the thing run, or fire
it into the alley.

Miss Ethel Heating reports that
her father and mother are having a
fine time in Ireland. They were on
the water ten days during the passage
from Montreal to Liverpool. A letter
n page by father and one page by
mother, written every day on the trip,
was mailed from Liverpool. Another
letter was received from Belfast, and
later a letter was received from Mrs.
Keating's sister. But they seem to
be having too good a time to waste
much of il in letter writing. Dick
was 'indisposed" two days while up
on the ocean, and Mr.. Patterson
Jared about the same. Miss Ethel re-
ports Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson expect
to start on the return trip on the 25th
of this month. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Heating will return is not defnately
decided. Since writing the foregoing
a letter was received stating that Mr..
and Mrs. Heating would also start
for home on the 25th.
The last spike in the new c. d
n. w. line from Pierre was driven at
5:l0 p. m. July 10th. This makes
the connecting link between the east
