! WOODWARD FARM
CHANGES HANDS
ANDREW MELGAARD. OF This
u CITY HAS BOUGHT THE zig
FARM, COMPRISING 5000 ACRES,
FOR a CONSIDERATION OF.
$115,ooo.oo

The big Woodward farm, or as it is
also known the Snake River Farm.
located in town of Warrenton was
sold last week by the heirs OF the late
.. w. Woodward and e. 8. Pratt, OF
4 New York, to Andrew Melgaard, Of
this city, for consideration Of $115.
600. The number Of acres transferred
is $500, eleven quarter sections hav-
Ing been previously sold to neibhbor-
Ing farmers. All the personal proper
" on the farm is included in the pur-
chase. and this Of itself Is no small
item, as the farm is one of the best
equipped bonza farms in the valley.
The extensive farm buildings and
other permanent improvements are.
also valuable. Included in the pur-
chase is also the big grain elevator in
this city. Considering the improve
ments, the value of the personal pro
perry, and the further fact that the
land Is the cream OF the valley, the
price is certainly very low. Since the
death Of Mr.. Woodward, who was I
practical farmer and efficient manager,
none Of the owners have had any in
chnation to give personal attention to
the operation of the farm, hence we're
anxious to dispose Of it. Mr.. Mel
gard has acquired a very good pro
u perry. 1t is his intention to subdivide
y the farm and dispose OF it in small
tracts to actual settlers, but until that
can be done he will operate it himself,

week or two ago, tells very interest
Ing story Of the damage wrought bys
"a sleet storm in Ontario and parts of
Nthe adjacent United States territory
early in the winter. The storm cover
ed a very considerable area, and oc-
CURED just before he arrived at his
home in Perth. The sleet covered
everything, and became so heavy that
telegraph wires were encased in it I'M
til they measured an inch in diameter.
The storm was accompanied by some
wind and this with the weight Of the
wires, broke down the poles. At one
point he observed that in travelling a
distance of twelve miles There were
only seven poles left standing along
|, side the track. and there had been
y two rows of poles On one side and
4 enc On the other. Nor was the havoc
confined to the telegraph and tele-
phone wires. The trees became so
heavily loaded with s1eet that their
branches broke down, and for miles
and miles, every tree was completely
stripped of branches on one side. AS
there is considerable fruit raised in
that locality the loss to the owners
Of orchards as well as to The owners
of shade trees was very heavy. 1T

Tenafiy has the greatest sensation
In its history. although village tongues

Office OF the city clerk. where they
asked for q marriage license.

This Is the first time In the history

II Is understood that rigorous cen

The Peruna Drug Go.
In regard 10 the Pcruna Tablets, /
have used about ten boxes In all.
While was in Chicago my oldest
daughter was bothered with n cough
all the time. She has had 10 for four
years. Sometimes IL would go away,
and in the winter time II was so bad
that the doctors and professors said
that she had consumption. and the only
way to give her any relief was to per-
form an operation.
/ spend so much money for different
medicines, and for doctors also. Moth
ing seemed TO help her.
SO ] saw the Peruna Tablets adver.
tised in the paper, and I got a box
and tried them. She could get some
sleep by taking them. She would be up
all night and cough. SO in all she took
six boxes, and never was bothered any
more.
I.will leave this for any ono TO in
quire at our old residence, where wc
lived in Chicago. All our ncighbors
would say that she could not live with
such a cough. You don't know how
thankful / am. She is eighteen years
old.
My oldest son also was bothered with
his stomach, throwing up, and his
bowels SO loose all the time. He was

Thirty.nine persons were killed an'

The accident occurred ON a shOr
curve and many of the bodies were 81

Hardly any OF the passengers in the

they could. and In a few moments
thirty-six bodies. badly mutilated
we're carried to the roadside ant
placed along the track. Three Others
were SO pinioned in the debris tina
they could not be removed till wreck
ing crews arrived upon the scene.
The northbound car was loaded with
people going to the county fair a
Fort Wayne. and among them were
many women and children.
What caused the accident Is MOI

ton on the road was not definitely
known to the limited. and. running or

The curve where the wreck occurred
Is one of the shortest on the Wabash
Valley line and there was hardly q
moment after the local car was sighted
before the crash came. Even the mo
tormen on the two cars had not time
to jump. so close were they together
when sighted.
The scenes following the wreck
were peculiarly pathetic. as mothers
and fathers saw the mangled forms oil
their children taken from the wreck

wife saw husband taken out so man

only from the clothing.
Physicians and nurses were rushed
to the scene OF the wreck from Fort

and many OF the injured are now in hos
pitfalls. Some of them died before med

died while being conveyed to the hos
