From Rosholt Review

| County Commissioner Granbois

where he had been will, other men,
bers of the board, to see about a
road grader for the county. They
also went to Litchfield, mimi, to
witness demonstration by the In.

much they couldn't lido anything.
The board will take one OH trial.
The farmers Elevator Co. held
its annual meeting Yesterday. The
company had, up to the first of June
handled over quarter of million
bushels of grain at this place since
issuing their last statement and
cleared nearly $4,000. 1t shows a
great business enterprise, and with
the other two elevators SHOWS that
Rosholt is some grain market.
John Foley, one of the firm of
the Russell Machine Co. of Mimi
eapolis came up last Tuesday to
start the new grader for White Rock
township. The grader is of the
elevator style and one of the best
on the market. II was tried out at
the M. w. Sanders place and from
all appearances it is going to be a
great thing for the township. MIR.
Foley is a SON of Geo Foley of the
we'll known firm of Foley Bros. and
Kelly of St. Paul and while he is a
very wealthy man he takes person.
al chafge of seeing that all machines
sent out by his company are started
right. He is All expert machinist
and the grader will have to be in
perfect condition before he turns it
over to the township. They are a
safe firm to deal with.

DEATH OF
JOYCE COOK
Little Girl Dies from Heart
Trouble Monday.

The community was greatly
shocked when the news that
the life of Joyce Cook had
quietly ebbed away ON Monday
morning, June 26.
Little Joyce mad been pa
tient sufferer for the past
month with heart trouble, al
though at times she seemed to
rally and hopes were entertain
ed that the grim reaper would
stay his hand yet awhile, for
her presence was so cherished
by her family and friends that
we could not think of her de-
parture. But all that medical
skill and loving hands could do
for her failed, and she quietly
fell asleep.
Joyce Meryl Cook, daughter
of Mrs. Margaret Cook. was
born at Brownton, Mimi, ON
Nov. IL, 1905, and came here
with her parents about six years
ago. Being only eleven years
old, it SENS hard for her rela-
tives and friends to part with
her. She leaves besides her
mother, four sisters and two
brothers to mourn her death
The funeral was held at the
Methodist church on Wednes-
day at ten o'clock, Rev. John
Ebert conducting the solemn
rites, and she was laid away in
the Sisseton cemetery beside
her father, who died four years
ago.
Joyce was model child. Her
faults were few, while her vir-
tues were many and she was
loved by all who knew her. A
kind and dutiful daughter, and
an affectionate sister, her de-
parture from their family circle
causes grief in the home which
words are powerless to assuage.
In the sad hours of death
words of coincidence fail
to relieve the sorrowing
an d aching hearts, bu t
our sorrows are made lighter
when we are reminded that
sooner or later Death, mankind's
universal foe, will in few short
years have gathered us all, one
by one, to that land of everlast-
ing peace, where now dwells
the pure soul of little Joyce.

Escapes Death By A Miracle

There is at least one man in this
community who is glad that light
ming never strikes twice in the
same place, and that man is Roy
Wilcox, son of Chief of Police Will
cox of this city.
Last Wednesday afternoon he
Was plowing corn OH the Albert
Holmquist farm six miles west of
this city when heavy thunder
storm came up. Roy stepped up
to his horses and commenced patti
ing them to quiet them, and while
he was standing with his hand on
one of the horses Lightning struck
them, killing both horses instantly.
How Wilcox escaped instant death
is a mystery. One of the horses
fell over OH top of him, and com
panion who was working in the
field with him and who saw the ac-
cident hurried over and was com
PEELED to dig him out from under
the horse. Wilcox did not lose
consciousness but the muscles of
his arms acd legs we've so badly
paralyzed by the terrific shock
that he was practically unable to
help himself in the least. His
shoes dad been literally torn from
his feet by the force of the bolt,
and his left leg and arm were bad.
lly burned, but not so as to make
his injuries serious.
He was brought to Webster that
night and placed under a physicians
care, and it will be some time before
the burns OH his arm and leg will
be completely healed

militiamen from Lead arrived
with dozen or more in citizens
clothing. EARLY in the evening

BAD TORNADO
NEAR VIENNA
One Boy Killed and Seven
People Injured.

One boy killed, seven people
injured, and the buildings on
, two farms razed and damaged,
are results OF a small tornado
which struck southwest of vi
emma Thursday evening at 6:20
o'clock.

very narrow strip of country and
twisted itself out within a
short distance. The storm first
struck southwest of Vienna and
moved northeast, skirting the
edge of the town as it expended
it's violence.
The property damage in the
town was not heavy, only one
home being seriously damaged.
The other damage was light,
and such as usually results from
heavy gale.
The Hansen farm is one mile
southwest of Vienna, and here
the storm practically demolish-
ed the farm buildings. The
Glove farm is five miles south
west of the city. The storm de-
stroyed the barn here, but did
not do extensive damage to the
residence.
In Vienna, the home of A. M.
Sogn, president of the First Ma
tional bank, new structure,
was seriously wrecked, the roof
being party bown off and the
porch demolished. The barn at

The country is pretty literally
sprinkled with retired farmers, but
correspondent points out that in
nearly every case they have prob
ably retired not as farmers, but as
landowners-that is the capital
which enabled them to retire accru-
ed not from the profits of farming
but from the enhanced value of
farm land. There are about two
and half million tenant farmers.
but retired tenant farmer we be-
lieve, is very rare bird. About
as rare bird, we imagine is the
farmer who has accumulated from
the profits of his sfarming oper ions
sufflc' ent capital on which to retire.

CAMP SITES AT Ell PASO
LEASED CLOSE TO BORDER
National Guard to Pitch Tents in Gun
Range of Mexico

Ell PASO, June 27.-Camp sites are be-
Ing leased along the river front, water,
sewer and electric connections made and
company streets are being laid out by the
Quartermaster's Department for $4,000 Ma.
tional Guard troops which are now entrain.
ing for or en- route to this point. Captain
NJ. p. Watts has been ordered by General
Funston to lease all of the open ground in
the river front district, to be used as camps
for the troops.
1t was at first thought that the militia
regiments would be encamped at Fort Bliss,
but because of the necessity for policing the
border II has been decided to move all of
the National Guard troops downtown, where
they can be called to the border within a
minutes notice.
Orders have been received here for camps
to be laid out in separate sites for the New
Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut Ma
tional Guard, which are expected to report
here Friday. Supplies are being stored at
the branch Quartermaster Corps depots for
militia troops,
Arrangements have also been made for
enlarging the base hospital at Fort Bliss TO
a division hospital and arrangements were
made today for leasing the big new Rolston
Hospital. which has just been completed
in the city. The base hospital has a ca.
pacity for 500 patients. and is to be doubled,
while the Rolston Hospital will give cots
for an additional 500. All of the other hos.
pitfalls have also been asked to provide extra
cots for the sick and wounded soldiers, and
the army is arranging to lease n large
number of private residences. All of the
wounded in Mexico as well as the sick are
to be sent here at once.
