Finds Lost Team

Liveryman Philbrooks, of Webster,
was in town last Friday and took home
his team which had been left at Gar
ret's barn by a stranger who had had
the use of them for about ten days and
then left the country.
1t seems a party representing himself
as a United States marshal and appar-
emily having the proper papers appeared
at the Philbrooks barn in Webster some
days ago and wanted to hire a team.
Believing him to be all right, especially
since he produced the papers and a star
tending to prove what he claimed he
was, Mr. Philbrooks let him have the
team. That was the last seen or heard
of the mar and team until word was
sent from here that the team was at
CARROTS barn. Mr.. Philbrooks had
given up the team as lost and is feeling
pretty good over it recovery Waubay

HEAVY WIND AND RAIN
A BAD STORM VISITS THIS
SECTION OF THE COUNTY
MANY BUILDINGS DAMAGED
ID. L. Williams Big Barn is Dis
troyed-Chris Sauer's Barn
Moved on the Foundation
Phillip Gross has Barn
Blows to Pieces

Just when all the sports of Webster
had about completed arrangements to
go hunting last Saturday and we're just
waiting for conveyances to take them
to various haunts of the prairie chicken
for the final battle-most of the boys
can get away only on Sunday and the
open season closed Wednesday night
up came a wind and rain storm that was
something out of the ordinary and put
the roads in such condition that the
only transportation possible was by
rail or by airship. The hunters remained
at home and made some very uncom-
lementary things about South Dakota
weather and how the elements even
seemed to contive with the plutocrats
to make the poor working mans life
unbearable.
One of the big plate class in the west
front of E. A. Nurger's store, in Cot
eau opera house building was blown out
and Smashed all to pieces.
The big barn on D. l. Williams place
in Rusk township, was badly wrecked
and as it was full of hay, a large force
of men found plenty of labor to release
the stock which was in the building at
the time. BY hard work all the animals
were saved.
Chris Saur's big barn in Webster
township, was moved on the founda-
ton and damaged, in Mr.. SIS judge
ment about $25. 90.
Phillip A. Gross some time this sum-
mer purchased the barn that was then
located On the old hospital site and
moved it to some lots he had purchased
from Josephus Alley. The Saturday
wind came along and moved the old
barn quite a considerable distance back
towards its former location.
There are many reports of small out
buildings and granaries being blown
down.
In some parts of the county the wind
and rain actually pounded the corn and
other crops still standing in the fields
right into the ground.
Messrs. Rathbun, Won Rohr and
Schullian, who were down in the Bitter
lake country, south of Waubay, said
that the water stood in rivers in the
road. The same report comes from
the country north.
