A letter from S. L. Potter says they
have picked apples from the trees in
Oregon which have hung there all fall
and that they were as sound as any
apple he ever had in Webster and of
much better flavor. He also saw a
deer and saw a gentleman shoot at it.
but, as is often the case in deer shoot
ing, the gentleman missed his aim.
Mr.. and Mrs. Potter are ENJOYING them
selves very much.

Mrs. Krause, daughter of William
Krause who resides in the northeast
corner of town, was driving a team
home yesterday when making the turn
at Kading's corner the box came off
the sled and the team started to run
away but the young lady chung to the
lines and was dragged a considerable
distance but finally compelled them to
stop. There was little or no damage
to the sled or the team.
A short time before leaving here
Mrs. A. ]. Rieger informed the writer
that her husband had written that the
mercury had been down to IS below in
her new home. You can we'll imagine
hei surprise when she arrived there to
find that the chinook winds had been
and there was no snow. In
fact the weather was just like spring.
The family all stood the trip remark
ably well and found Mr.. Rieger very
well. |
A letter from S. l.. Potter to his
children in this city reports that they
are now in Eugene, Ore. They had
been through Washington and were
quite well pleased with the coast
but not so much so as when
they reached Eugene. Here they
found the peonies in bloom, the roses
with buds just bursting aud other
lowers in profusion in blossom or
pudding and Mrs. Potter exclaimed
no more South Dakota winters for

# Webster about six or eight miles,
