Waseca Journal Radical: Mules are
not so slow. They are more than
holding their own in the upward march
of price on most anything you might
name these days. Hiram Powell re-
fused no less price than 1925 for his

the horse when it comes down to
steady hard work and further that he
does not require as much feed as the
horse does. The price of mule teams
has been going up quite rapidly the
past few months.

the crew of the freight train which
collidcd with the passenger train at
Guckecn, have all been suspended pend

| when they discovered that they could
not pull into Guckcen on time, to
have uneoupled the engine from the
train and ran ahead and left flag

in its freight cars, in the meantime the
passenger train waiting at Guckeen UNI
til the track was clear.
