The Auto Went UP

Last Tuesday afternoon as Nels
Bjerke was driving his Halliday buzzer
from Butler to Andover, he had an
unusual experience at the railroad
crossing about three miles east of town.
As he approached the aforesaid cross
ing he discovered a freight train steam
ing from the east. Evidently thinking
to head off the train, Bjerke started
for the crossing, but the machine, on
gaining the dangerous point, rebelled-
seemed to defy the fast approaching
putting monster-would not bulge, so
to speak, in spite of the remonstrances
of Nels. Now, as the driver of the
machine did not care about remaining
at the wheel when the continuance was
converted into a flying machine, he
retired no a safe distance to await
developments. Soon after the freight
train came laundering along and the
'honker" was scattered in every
direction. 1t was a sick looking
machine when the various parts came
down. -Andover Gazette.

PLAN TO BUILD THROUGH
DAY COUNTY NEXT YEAR
COMING IN BY WAY OF ORTLEY
The Corps of Surveyors Now at
Work, One North From
WATERFOWL and the Other
North of OrtIey. Are
Actually in Field

During the past few years we have
thrown so many railroad scares into
our readers which in the end have come
to nothing that we are almost afraid
now to print the news when we meet
it face to face and it has a very good
semblance of meaning something. Had
all the railroads been built which have
beer surveyed through this county
there would hardly be business for any
more.
The latest news is of the Minneapolis
and st. Louis railroad which is looking
for a route to North Dakota. The peo-
pie of Ortley are very much excited
over the prospects and believe that
they have a sure thing this time and
and will have a competitor for the Mil
waukee. A corps of surveyors arrived
there last week and secured teams and
are busy running a line from that town
across the very eastern corner of Day
county. 1t is reported that they
expect to go via Frank, Eden, Huffman
Britton and from there into North
Dakota. Another corps of surveyors
is known to be working north from
Watertown and will connect their sur
vey at Ortley.
Everybody knows that the road men
toned is looking for a route to the
north state. There is probably no
better unoccupied territory for a rail-
road than the one through which the
present survey is being run. 1t is a
splendid farming country and has never
had anything like a crop failure. 1t
would not be surprising if the road did
take advantage of this splendid oppor-
tunity for entering unoccupied terri
tory.

A Pretty Home Wedding

At the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Paul, in Wheat
land township, last Wednesday at three
o'clock in the afternoon, occurred the
marriage of their daughter, Ellen to
Charles Sheelar, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Mems
ing, officiating.
The home was very prettily decor
ated for the occasion. At the wedding
ceremony only the immedinte families
were present. After the wedding recep-
ton which was held, to which over n
hundred neighbors and friends were
invited and enjoyed extending congrat-
~ulations to the happy couple and par
taking of the splendid and bouteous
repast.
The young people were the receipt
ents of a large number of very beauti-
full and useful wedding pres ,nts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sheelar are two of u
most promising young people and were
raised in Day county where they have
a countless number of friends, who will
wish them nothing but JOY and happi-
ness on their journy through life. They
have rented and will make their home
on the Chas. Becht farm for the COM
ing year.
In the evening the young folks were
treated to a regular old fashioned cha
rivari by the people from the surround
ing country and all were invited in and
a splendid evening enjoyed.

hosts of friends in best wishes.

QUITE BADLY INJURED
RECEIVES \ KICK FROM 4
HORSE IN THE BACK
YOUNG RAWKINSON INJURED
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Hawkinson, of This City,
Was Rem dered Uncons-
cious. Happened Last
Friday

Last Friday Edward Reeder came to
this city and while doing some shop
ping and looking after some business
matters put his team in Chas. Hawk
inson's barn. Gottfreid Hawkinson
went to the stable to look after the
Hawkins stock and decided to change
the Reeder team from the stall they
occupied to another one He does not
know just how it happened but as he
was going behind the team one of them
kicked suddenly and struck him, rend-
ering him unconscious. AS the boy did
not return to the house after a reason
able length of time, his uncle, Mr..
Hawkinson's brother. went out to see
where he was and found him moons
cious behind the team. He was car
ried to the house and restoratives
applied from which he rallied shortly.
An examination showed that no bones
were broken but he was quite badly
bruised. 1t did not take the young
fellow very long to come out of it for
he was back in school again Monday.

New Agent at Waubay

II. G. Burns, who has been employed
in the local depot for nearly three
years, received word Monday that he
would be expected to report to the Mil
waukee company at Waubay Tuesday
and take up the duties of the Office at
that place as agent, the promotion
carrying with it a very substantial
increase in salary. When his friends
learned that he was to leave s soon it
was at once planned to hold a little
party in his honor, and Messrs. Gene
~Thorndyke, Earl Owens, Albert Lin
dahl and Arthur Nelson secured per-
mission from James Watson and wife
to hold the same at their home, where
about twenty-five young men of the
city assembled to spend the evening.
Progressive five hundred was played,
and at midnight the party sat down to
a delicious repast prepared by Mrs.
Watson. After supper had been COM
pleted, and while all were still seated
at the table, Professor Hopfner, on
behalf of all present, extended thanks
to Mr.. and Mrs. Watson for their most
generous hospitality and then in a few
we'll chosen words expressed the senti-
ments of all present in assuring Nh.
Burns that his departure was regretted
and that he carried with him to his
new field of labor the very best wishes
of all, and that he could always rest
assured that there were a lot of young
men here in Milbank who would always
remain his warm friends. Mr.. Burns
replied by expressing his appreciation
of the many courtesies and the kind
ness extended him during his residence
in Milbank, and extended an invitation
to all to pay him a visit at Waubay
upon the first opportunity.
Five hundred was resumed after
supper AMI it was anout 2:30 a. m.

WAS THE VERY WORST
IN HISTORY OF STATE
THE OLD TIMERS SILENCED
No Longer Can They Point
Back tn Something Just as
Bad or Worse in the Early
Eighties or Any Other
Time on Record

November had been giving us a very
good spell of weather up until last Fri
day evening, her the barometer began
to fall and the old men and people with
rheumatism began to realize from the
atmospheric pressure upon them that
there was going to be something doing.
Saturday morning the storm had
arrived and it had arrived before most
Webster people got up 1t was a
Blizzard" with the emphasis on the
"Bliz." The thermometer went down
below zero, a binding snow was
accompanied by a wind going at the
rate of about sixty miles an hour. All
day long it lasted with no let up until
about midnight. Sunday at ten o'clock
the wind and snow had ceased but the
mercury stood at ten below zero and
did not get above the zero notch all
day. 1t continued very cold all day
Monday but during the night Monday
the weather moderated and Tuesday
and Wednesday were very pleasant
days.
The weather bureau reports from all
yer the country bring the information
that this is the worst November spell
of weather in the history of the country
and old timers will take notice and
govern their stories accordingly.
