Poor old Scrap-lron Bill had a
serious adventure yesterday. He
had been 50 well fed and cared for
lately that he had DEVELOPED case
Iof founder. and. as he was being
speeded up yesterday morning pre-
paratory to his mad race to Bis
marck. he heaNed groan or two
and laid down ON the track, or. more
properly speaking. by the side of
the track. Investigation by skilled
railway men showed that he was
suffering from the more serious
form of founder known as offthe-
trackitis. caused 10y microbe known
as openswitchitls. 1t was found that
nothing would help the patient save
an operation. 50 the railroad bows
gave him an anaesthetic and pre-
pared him for the ordeal. which
took place when his more youthful
relative of better health and strength
arrived pulling the Milwaukee train,
and assisted poor old Bill TO regain
the path. 1t is believed that the in

matter. The members of the coun-
ty board are going down to-day to
look over the bridge situation in the
Wlnona country The condition at
present prevailing is this A road in
the Cattail valley by which settlers
go to and from Winona postottice is
a public road 1t has been public
road for more than a quarter of a
century. 1t was fenced off few
months ago by the owner of the
land through which it runs, such
land having been recently purchased
by its present owner with a full
knowledge that it was a public road,
and that the people We're demanding
that the county obtain a small strip
of it. so as to prevent the heavy en-
pense of building am extra bridge.
One of the best lawyers i'm Bismarck
says that it is a public road by rea-
son of more than twenty years use
as a highway The changes of the
law in the meantime make no differ
ence, the only questions being as to
whether the law at present makes a
road that has been travelled for
twenty years or more public road.
and whether it is fact that the road

The people down there have been
imposed ON long enough. Almost
unanimously they have begged and
pleaded with the county board to do
them justice, and that justice should
not be much longer postponed.
those bridges be built. it
simply puts am unnecessary expense
upon the taxpayers of the county,
and then does not give the kind of
highway that is needed. Let the
people in that commissioner district
have a square deal Instead of a
commissioner advising a petitioner
to cut the fence, as Mr.. kurtz. the
former chairman of the board, add
viscd, the board should arise i'm its
legal and lawful might and say that
that fence must come off of the pub
lie road or the power of the law TO
take it OF will be quickly invoked.
