The automobile itself is not a new

The banks, faced with the problem

Short Sleeves To Be Popula,

worn quite extensively during

a style has been mustered out
over here we are quite content
to let it go, but the French PEG

We Went This Time, But
No More Such Trips
for Us, Thank.

The editor and family made
another attemD TO go to Bridg, :
water last FRIDAY morning, and
thought We had struck it right,
but about the time the passen.
ger was due here we learned
the engine had died before get
ting 10 miles from Platte. A
freight engine was sent from
Geddes to quill the train on to
Yankton, but this engine proved
to be unable to perform the
work. When they got to Wag.
ner they didn't have steam
enough to go farther, SO we
staid in the yards here an hou r
or so to get up steam enough to
run to the tank, three mile s
distant. Tn re we had to put
in some more time coaxing our
iron no Sc to get up stea m
enounh to move on. Finally the
guage showed we had IS pounds
of steam, and VIC proceeded to
Dante, but when We got the re
we could only show 80 pounds
OF steam end very little water.
Another stop OF an hour and a
half was made there in which
we got up IS pounds of steam
and q half glass Of water, but
that wouldn't take US over til e
hill, SO we waited for the dis.
abled engine to come down that
had been left at Geddes. This
engine had been revived some.
but was winged and was work.
ing only on one side. With the
two engines we got over the bill,
by q scratch, and on to Avon and
Tyndall. Here we were forced
to leave the "Squaw Central"
flyer and wait until the next
day to proceed on our journey.
On our return trip Monday
everything was lovely until we
gou to Tyndall and found a
freight had been wrecked west
of Avon. We put in about 3
hours in Tyndall waiting for
orders. and finally got to Avon
where we spent another two
hours waiting for Capt. Bear DIS
ley to make up his mind TO- let
US proc eed to where the wreck.
ed train was, where we tramped
and wallowed a half mile through
snow or 5 feet deep to get to a
train that was in waiting on the
other side to bring US home,
something like seven hours late.
The t"ainmen have our sympa
thv, as they are able to do only
just what they get orders to do,
and have to take the cussings
from the passengers, while the
officials of the road are the ones
that ought to be cuSsed.
