|! Otto Thress received the news re-
Gently of the death of his cousin,
Felix Franzman, who was killed in a
battle: on November 3rd. The nan
killed was. a first lieutenant in a regi-
ment !, of German Hussars. The
Franzman family have suffered great
brothers. N..One was in business in
Paris when the war broke out and
because of his nationality was driven
out of the country. One brother, who
owned a large manufacturing plant
in Brussels, was forced to leave the
country by the Belgians. He lost
everything but was paid for his prop
erty by the German government,
which will try to collect the indem-
nifty from Belgium.
On Monday of this week the Mil
waukee put a new train schedule into
effect. The vanished coaches will
now leave this station at nine o'clock
in the morning and the evening train
is due to arrive from Mclaughlin at
10 o'clock at night. The people of
New England do not like the present
schedule as the mail gets into, town
|so late that it is not distributed until
the following morning and then not
early enough to allow the patrons to
answer their letters for the return
mail. A petition will be started at
once asking the postoffice department
to. establish a. stage route between
New. England and Dickinson. Such a
route is favored by practically all of
the citizens of this town. Dickinson
people are also anxious to have this
route established and so, working to-
gether, the two towns should be- able
Ito get the proposed mail service es-
tablished,
