Automobile Catches Fire

Last Thursday afternoon James
Tracy went to the garage On the home
farm at the outskirts of this city to
get the big touring car to bring his
sisters over town to do some shopping.
When he attempted to start the
machine, there had been a leak from
the gasoline connections somewhere
and the machine was Immediately
ablaze. The young man had his head
with him and instead of calling for
help got busy with blankets, coats, etc.,
and soon had the blaze smothered. The
girls called to him and when he opened
the door they saw the smoke and pre-
Stunning there was a bad fire turned in
the alarm. Nj. Tracy rushed out with
water to help but all was over. The
fire department responded promptly to
the call but when they reached the
farm there was nothing for them to dc
but to receive the heartfelt thanks of
Mr.. Tracy for the disposition shown to
help him should necessity have
required the boys assistance. The
damage to the machine was not great.

Fire at Efnor,s Barn

Monday afternoon fire was discov-
cred. The flames were at once attacked
by the bucket brigade. An alarm was
turned in but before the apparatus had
reached the scene the blaze had been
checked and was soon linden cotrol.
The fire had a very good start and it is
the general opinion that had i%toccurred
at night that there would have been a
cleanup of the old frame buildings in
that portion of the city.
The promptness with which the fire
apparatus of the city was upon the
cen Monday. clearly demonstrates we
have m of the very best volunteer fire
departments that there is in existance.
The damage Monday was very trifing.

Several reports have reached Web
ster in the past two or three weeks
that parties were SEEMING Enemy
Swim and taking bass of all sizes and
description to Blue Dog lake for pro-
pogation. We do not know how true
the reports are but we are told that no
permission has been given by anyone
for such proceedings and no game
warden or deputy has been present to
attend the seining and in that the laws
providing for such SEEMING for propo-
cation purposes were not properly
observed. This is a serious charge and
if true the parties engaged therein are
subject to a heavy fine upon their o n
viction. The bass have just com.
menced to get a good start in the lake
having been put in there but a few
years ago and it is really a shame to
have any of them taken out by a seine
for any purpose.

ATTEMPTED HoLD-UP
ALMOST RESULTS IN AMUR.
DER IN WEBSTER
A. M. HURD BADLY CUT up
Occurs Sunday About Noon
Near Railroad Tracks. Vic
tim a Working Man Who
Is Now In Hospital.
Will Recover

What came near being a fatal hold
up occurred in this city last Sunday
morning just before noon. A. M.
Hurd, who had been employed on the
front of the Farmers and Merchants
National bank building the week before
was taking a walk down the railroad
tracks and was heal the Olson elevator
when he was approached by a man
who gave his name as Fred Wilson
and says he came from Missouri, who
demanded of Hurd his money. Upon
being refused he said with an oath 81
will cut your throat" and attacked
Hurd with a jack knife. After the
first slash or two his victim started to
run and got out into Railroad avenue
near the Farmers Lumber yard where
Wilson overlook him and made several
more cuts upon him. Parties along
the street saw it and ran to Hurd's
assistance and Wilson then made an
attempt to get away starting down the
track. Chief of Police Garrick was
coming down Main street and after
calling to the ~bystanders to assist the
victim to a Doctors Office started after
the highwayman and overlook him
near the east end of the yards and
took him into custody.
Hurd was taken to DR.. Herman's
office where he presented a most hor-
rible and bloody sight. He was cut
upon the top of the head, had three
cuts or left side of face, one under
left jaw which just missed the juggler
vein, and another eight inches long
over the heart. How in the world he
escaped with his life is almost a
mystery. His wounds were dressed
and he is now at the City Hospital and
has a fair show fer recovery.
The man who did the cutting and
who gave the name of Wilson (which
is known by the authorities to be
assumed) was taken before Justice
Harris Tuesday charged with an assault
with a deadly weapon with an attempt
to kill. States Attorney Anderson
appeared for the state and S. M.
Duggan for the defense. The defend
ant waived examination and was bound
over to the circuit court under 81, 900
bonds, in default of which he must
bide the time in the county Jail.
This is the most horrible attempt at
holdup aver made in the history of
Webster and shows the class of charac-
ters who are mingling with the honest
fellows now in this section seeking
employment in the harvest fields and
on the railroad work and should be a
warning to all not to get in any
secluded place where they a be
attacked without notice. The high
wayman knows nc time, with him it is
any time when he car catch his victim
unawares, get his money and escape
the laws.

Webster Wins Another

The ball game Sunday, between the
local team and an aggregation of play
ers from Waubay, Ortley and Summit,
was not an ideal exhibition of the nat
ional game-being characterized by
hard hitting and loose fielding. The
score was a to 8 in favor of the locals.
Girls Eastman pitched a splendid game
for Webster but his support was a lit
tie ragged. Harder was on the mound
for the visitors.

Change In Postal Laws

As will be seer by the following rul-
ing made by the postofice department,
go into effect at once, whereby in post
Offices of certain classes patrons a
secure no mail on Sunday. Webster
comes under the head of the new rul-
ing. Postmaster Siglinger, realizing
and a~ppreciating the fact that a great
many of the patrons of this office would
suffer a hardship if they could not
receive their Sunday mail, has taken
the matter up with the department and
asked to have the ruling so modelled
that the door can be left open and par
ties having lock boxes can help them
selves.
We, along with the general public
will sincerely hope he may be successful
In his efforts.
Here is the order:
The postoffice appropriation act for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1913,
provides:
THAT hereafter postoffices of the
first and second classes shall not be
open on Sundays for the purpose of
delivering mail to the general public,
but this provision shall not prevent the
prompt delivery of special delivery
mail"
Under this law you will close the
generel delivery, carriers windows and
lock boxes and discontinue all deliv-
cries by carriers on Sunday. You will
note, however, that special delivery
mail is excepted and you will therefor
arrange to have on duty a sufficient
force to handle this mail promptly.
The department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
as many Of the employees as possible
may enjoy a complete day of rest on
Sunday. You should, therefor, require
only a sufficient number of clerks to
report for duty on that day in order
that transit mail and the mail collected
for dispatch may be handled without
delay.
If no mail is dispatched on Sunday
a very early collection should be made
on Monday morning and the mail fol
local delivery distributed before the
carriers leave for their first trip.
Respectfully,
c. p. Grandfeld,
First Assistant Postmaster General.

with the firm as salesman and Mr.. H.

chants National bank looking after
collections and outside interests and
will continue to make his home in

to the many friends of himself and

The members of the Congregational
church particularly and the people of
Webster generally are very sorry to
learn that Rev. A. u. Baer has received
and accepted a call to the pastorate of
the Cong regational church of Glasgow,
Mont, where the reverend gentleman
spent his summer vacation as a ''sup-
ply" minister. He and his family will
leave for their new home in Montana
about October first.
Rev. Baer and family came to Webs
ter about a year ago from Clark and
during that short period of time each
and every one of them has made many
friends who will very much regret that
the family is to move away.
With all due appreciation of the min
listers who have preceded him in the
Congregational church of this city, we
are firmly grounded in the opinion that
Rev. Baer is the most popular minis
ter that church has yer had. He is a
scholar and a student, a clergyman of
advanced ideas, who deeply impresses
his hearers upon all occasions and who
sees some good in all and by his liber-
atty, ~congeniality and ability is des-
tined to become one of the leading min
listers of his denomination.
Rev. Baer was loathe to leave Webs
ter but there many inducements held
out in the call to Glasgow which in JUS
tice to himself and his family he could
not conscientiously decline.
