City, III. The deal involved con,
sideration Of $50, 600, and was closed
through the German American State
Bank Of Linton.
WI. Arnold, formerly residing
at the "Whiteface Ranch" about a
dozen miles north of Linton. but
now resident of southeastern Min
nesota. is in Emmons county to at
tend to some business, and, incident
ally, to visit old friends and neigh
bors. MIR. Arnold says they have a
fair but not bumper crop in his
section of our neighbor to the east.
Dave Phillips, of Hazelton, when
in Linton the other day advanced a
very plausible theory as to the burn
ing of Mr.. Klabunde's auto, an ac-
count of which was recently given
IN the county newspapers. 1t is that
some dry grass or straw gathered on
the pan or shield underneath the
machine, and the hot escape-pipe
set this refuse on fire, and this
ignited the woodwork. causing the
damage to the machine.
John Roop and Winch Batter
were down from Hazelton Monday.
John was on his way to iceland to
install the gasoline engine formerly
used in the Victoria elevator at Ha-
zelton in the company's elevator at
the Mcintosh county town. A larger
engine has just been placed in the
Hazelton building; but the one
taken out is more powerful than the
one that has been used at iceland.
The elevators all over the state are
preparing in every way possible to
handle the big crop.
Tuesday morning people on lower
Broadway saw on the upper part of
the street what they thought was
some kind of a new tangled vehicle
"a cross between an air -ship and an
auto. CAREFUL "rubbering. how
ever, proved it to be Henry Sims,
of his bicycle and with a firm
grip on the tail of the COW which he
was driving to the pasture. Old
bossy marched along as dignitied as
though she recognized the fact that
she was the chief motor power and a
very necessary item of the process
sion.
A more-or-less young man of Lin
ton met withq quite an accident to his
new auto the other day. 1t is said
that he was steering with one hand,
and, while turning around to exhibit
the heavenly smile, the pcsky smoke
wagon grew unmanageable and
a telephone pole, springing
an axle and spraining fender. In
the mix-up marriage license that
he had carried for many wears was
lost, and after diligent search cam
not be found" How often will it
be necessary for the Record to reit-
crate that people who pillow the rag
ing highway in goodwill should al
ways make it point to eliminate
the flowing bowl?
A sad bereavement occurred to a
Pollock family last Thursday. Mont
rose. the ten-year-old son of MIR. and
Mrs. Thomas Houchins, of the town
accompanied Glen Loutzen-
hizer, in charge of one of his
brother Frank S teams that are haul
ing oats to the reservation to fill a
contract with railroad contractor.
The boy was driving. The team was
going at rather swift pace down a
hill when the wagon struck rut
and the little fellow was thrown
forward off of the load. Before the
team could be stopped the wheels
passed directly over the boys body,
crushing it and killing him instant
ly. The accident happened just
south of the mission school, on the
west side Of the river.
Young Herbert GILES, who is visit
ing his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
M. Giles, at Dakem, was all ready to
return to his Fargo home few days
ago, and had his sachel checked. But
he was having such good time out
here in the country that he recon-
sidered the matter and concluded to
stay a few days longer. and therefore
again possessed himself of the grip.
Herbert will be remembered by
those who went on the farmers eX-
cursions to the agricultural college,
several years ago. as the bright little
lad who came back from Fargo with
them, he at that time being too
young to travel without some one to
look after him. He has grown into
"a big boy now" but is as bright
and polite as ever. His father is the
well-known and popular yardmaster
who has been with the N. P. in Far
90 MANY wears. Mr.. and Mrs. Max
