E. A. Bradley, who was for years
the station agent OF this city for the
Milwaukee people, but who was pro-
NOTED to the position of immigration
agent for the company with head
quarters at Helena about year ago,
was here last week looking after his
farming interests. Mr.. Bradley says
that we people of the prairie country
have no idea of the terrors of the for
est fires which have been raging
through the western country during
the past few weeks. That prairie
fire is very easy when compared with
them. He says that hundreds of lives
were lost and that no one can estimate
as yet the loss of property. The rail-
way companies all did their best to get
assistance to the fire stricken districts

then in company with her family they
visited the Minnesota state park,
which is located on Lake Itaska. Mr..
Yeager says the sight of the natural
timber in the park is well worth the
visit to say nothing of the splendid
fishing and other attractions. After a
very pleasant outing at the park, the
auto party visited the Twin Cities for
a few days. Mr.. and Mrs. Yeager

remarks in acceptance of the gifts and
showed he was deeply touched by his
congregations thoughtfulness.

An automobile shortens up space
considerable during the present age,
for instance A. T. Cooper and John
Sherbino ran over to Waubay on bust
ness matters last Friday morning and
remained for dinner. In the afternoon
Mr.. Cooper and Attorney Sears had
business at Milbank. Arriving in Mil
bank they found the gentleman they
wished to see had gone to Big Stone
lake. When they reached that pleasure
resort they were compelled to get a
launch and hunt the gentleman up on
the lake. They were through with
their business at Big Stone shortly
after supper and made the run home
here that evening. In the olden times
of team or the dependence upon train
service the two trips would have con-
sumed three days at least.

Last Thursday afternoon the advance
man for the Tennessee rats, a colored
aggregation of singers, dancers and
baseball players, struck Webster and
made or rather partly made arrange
ments for the appearance of his COM
pany here on Friday and Saturday of
last week. After he had partially
performed his business the advance
man, who was colored Individual, let
his natural born instinct get away with
his desire to do business and looked
after "crap" game. He succeeded
in interesting few hoboes in a game
with the bones" and they adjourned
to the railroad tracks where the
colored gentleman was parting his
white brethren from their money in
very rapid manner when Chief of
Police Martin arrived on the scene.
The hoboes made their escape at once
and they quit without argument no
effort was made to look them up, but
the colored gentleman seemed to think
he had perfect right to shoot Craps"
and protested with the marshal to such
an extent that be landed in the city
Jail. He did not know just what he
wanted to do until Monday when
another colored brother and member
of the "Rats" showed up in Webster.
Monday however, he put under a cash
bond for his appearance at the next
term of the circuit court to answer a
charge of gambling. He has not secured
the necessary hundred as yet and is
waiting in the county jail.

There did not seem to be much signs
of any storm Saturday in Webster nor
in Webster township and there was
just sprinkle of rain. In Webster no
one reports having seen any lightning,
but in Webster township one person
reports seeing just one bolt. Now one
bolt of lightning is not very much but
it can do great deal of damage. the
one in Webster township Saturday was
seen to strike one of the grain stacks
on the Chris Sauer place and set it on
fire. An effort was at once made to
get to the place and save the other
stacks but they were too dry and
despite all efforts were burned to the

Messrs. Dunton and Anderson, who
were at Britton over Sunday, report
that the autoists of Britton have been
looking after the improvement OF the
roads out of that city in a very credit
able manner this year. They have all
the rocks removed as far as Pierpont
and have also taken them all out
between Britton and Frank postoffice
and that if next Sunday is pleasant
day there wiz be large number at
work picking stones out Of the roads
between Frank and Pickerel lake. The
Britton men say that since they have
given so much attention to the roads
that they now meet farmers daily who
have pick and crowbar in their
wagons and are getting in line making
good roads. The example is worthy of
emulation in this and all other counties.
