$4,000 GIFT
FOR LIBRARY
The Wahpeton Public Library Is
tho Recipient Of q Very Help
ful and Appreolattvo Gift
FROM Mr.. BENZ. TAYLOR
Of This City Who Is We'll Known
And RtchIand County
Pioneer

All persons interested in the
Public Library-and these include
nearly every one residing in and
around Wahpeton-were greatly
pleased when it became known
last Wednesday that Mr.. Benia-
min Taylor had donated to that
institution the magnificent sum
of $4,000.
This splendid gift was donated
by Mr.. Taylor voluntarily and
unsolicited. Indeed it was not
known that he was at all interest,"
ed in the Library except that the
interest of the family in it is
shown by the fact that his good
wife had years ago. when the Ii
brary was first started, given to
it books from her private library.
The only condition which accom-
panied the gift is the request on
the part of Mr.. Taylor, who is a
native Of England. that good his
tory of his native land be purchas-
ed and placed on the shelves of
the library.
Mr.. Taylor is one of the pioneer
settlers of Richland County,
where he has been successful
farmer--but has now retired from
all occupations. and expects to
spend the balance of his days in
travel and leisure. Daring his res
idence in the community he has
always been a modest and desir-
able citizen. He left Wahpeton this
week to spend the winter in Cali
fornia.
His liberal gift to the library on
the eve of his departure was a
noble act, and is one that is ap-
preciated by all. and especially by
those who are interested in good
literature, and the welfare of the
public library.
Everyone joins in this word of
appreciation ard thanks to Mr..
Taylor for his generous donation.

the spot of the accident also ex-
pressed their sympathy for Miss
Annie Schlnitt, as she is only II
years of age and to lose a foot

prime of her life is very sad ac-

young couple is being expressed

TRAIN STRIKES AUTO ON End St. CROSSING

An automobile containing sew
zen passengers, namely Will
Schmitt, John Peschel, Ed pauly
and the Misses Anna Vollrath and
Mary and Annie Schmitt, with the
driver Joseph Wettstein. were
run into by an east bound train,
engine No. 1868, a few minutes
before 9 O'Clock a. m, yesterday
morning. This party were on their
way to st. Johns church where
Mr.. Will Smith and Miss Anna
Vollrath were to be married at
nine O'Clock. A goodly number of
friends and relatives had already
gathered in the church waiting the
arrival Of this happy young cou-
pie who were soon be joined into
the holy bonds of matrimony as
one.
The driver, Mr.. Joseph Wett-
stein while crossing the track be-
came aware that freight train
was bearing down on him about
one-half to two-thirds of block
away, fed his engine more gas,
and instead of responding to more
speed the engine died on him.
Will Schmitt, the groom, seeing
their chances to escape very slim
grabbed the bride, Miss Anna Voll
rath and jumped through the
rear curtains and thereby clear
ing the auto in time and escaping
any serious injuries. Miss Voll-
rath, it is understood suffered a
wreched back, but will soon be in
normal condition in few days.
Miss Annie Schmitt, sister to
the groom who was sitting beside
the driver jumped and she landed
between the train and the auto. 1t
is reported to us that her foot be-
came caught somehow and she
lost her left foot, the train runn-
ing over her and severing her leg
near the ankle. The rest Of the
occupants were pretty badly scar
ed and shaken up, but no other
injuries are reported at this time.
The car was struck near the
front dash board between the
front seat and the engine and was
carried nearly a block down the
track. The car is almost complete
ly wrecked beyond repair.
Through the kindness of Mr..
Lotzer, whose coal office is nearby
the unfortunate girl, Miss Annie
Schmitt, was carried into his Of

Your Committee to Audit the Accounts Of
the County Treasurer, to whom the bid of the
First National Bank of Paw Paw was referred,
have received bid from the Paw Paw Saw
ings Bank, which bid is presented to this
Board with this report. We find that the last
named bank has been the county depository
for long period of years and that the desig-
nation of the county depository has always
been made by the county treasurer. In view
of these facts, and in return for past accom-
modations to the county, and the further fact
that the bid of the Paw Paw Savings bank is
more favorable to the county, we respectfully
recommend that the funds of the county be
deposited with the Paw Paw Savings bank
but this recommendation shall not be CON
strued to be binding upon the county treas
trer.
