Mr.. and Mrs. Logsdon were looking
over the country with view to pur-
chasing farm. They were much
pleased with the country in general
and the town of Columbia in partic-

decide to go that health and happi-
ness may attend them.

turned from Wayne, Neb; and we are

The Standard Bearers held their

A social dance was given last Sat

A peculiar accident occurred last
Sunday evening when two young men
who had been visiting at the former
Koenekamp farm, 3 miles west OF
town, started on their return trip
Driving down steep hill to reach
the main road, the horse bolted and
the driver was unable to hold the an
imal in check. He dashed through the
railroad fence and out onto the rail
road track. There he turned and
started directly up the track toward
Dow City. The buggy was soon over
turned and the occupants thrown to the
ground. The horse ran on, crossing
bridges and keeping on the track.
Mrs. J. R. Griffin, a neighbor, taking
in the situation and believing that the
horse would fall through some bridge
in crossing, tagged a passing flyer by
using her petticoat as a flag. She
realized full we'll that train going at
high rate of speed would undoubt-
eddy be wrecked by striking such an
object. She was profusely thanked
by the trainmen for her foresight, al
ter which they ran slowly into Dow
City. But the horse had kept ahead
and reached town first, where 1t was
caught. One can hardly understand
how the animal could have crossed
so many bridges and not have fallen
through any of them. The two men
were VI uASCN oAu OA1S '~S 49,
siderably cut about the face and neck,
but they consider they came through
the accident pretty lucky. The bug
gy was badly wrecked.
Mrs. Adam Sharp, of Blair, Neb.,
came Tuesday for visit with the

back to the old home.
