These improvements have material
ly reduced the cost of maintenance

increased the patronage in all classes
of service. The outlook during the

extremely gratifying, and the pros

Senator Gronna OF North Dakota en-

An Editor Attacked

Last Saturday afternoon, while
the editor of this paper was
peacefully returning from his
MONDAY meal, he was attacked
by woman who is posing as a
teacher ofgood'morals and ethics
to the children of oar public
schools, and who was also smart
ing under severe criticism of
the public schools which appear
ed in this paper last week and
which she seemed to make a per-
sonal matter.
The attack occurred between
the Hess garage and the post
office. The woman accosted the
editor and after being told that
he did not care to argue the mat
ter with her, she swung with a
Fitzsimmons left and the editor
slde-stepped and proceeded on
his way, when the irate woman
proceeded to follow. The edit
or, not wishing to appear ungen-
tlemanly, sought refuge in flight
and was soon out of any appar-
ent danger. About this time the
woman picked up large stone
and hurled it at the fleeing edit
or, which went wide of the mark,
and he succeeded in reaching his
office without further incident.
AS it happened, there was no
one to witness the incident.
The editor believes that he used
his best judgment. He believes
that he acted properly.-Center
