As usual, a considerable number OF
dancers from this village attended the
clerks ball at Norway Tuesday evening,
and there were also a good number who
went as spectators and occupied seats in
the gallery. Those who danced the ball
through don't have much to say when
asked about the walking between here
and Norway. The snow had been stiff
ing into the street car track, and the car
which started over here after the ball
stuck its nose into snow bank near
Alpine Street and couldn't get through.
After the passengers had made quite
lengthy stay, part of them walked home,
and part of them rode back to Norway on
the car and somewhat later came over on
the steam train when it made its trip foI
the early morning train.
