According to reports, the Summer
500 has not run a train on the Wheat
line all week. A number of people
getting mail at Kramer and Gardena
have made trips to Botineau during
the week in order to- get some late
war news, being practically cut off
from the outside world for the time
being.
Herman Garbe was here from
Kramer Tuesday to see his eleven
year-old son Alfred, who recently
submitted to an operation for ap-
pendicitis at St. Andrews hospital.
The little fellow is now almost fully
recovered from the operation and &C.
companied his father home yesterday
morning.
Mont Woodward left Wednesday
for Philadelphia, Pa, where he ex-
poets to enter the employ of his un-
Gle, O. M. Woodward, in his electric
light plant. Mont has had several
years experience in the business with
his father, F. M. Woodward, in Bot
tineau and has also been employed at
Lansford and Westhope. Here's
wishing NJ. O. success in his new
field.
A son of John Torno of Kramer had
a harrow escape from death one, day
last week when a 500 train crashed
into the rig he was driving, killing
both horses instantly. The covered
sleigh was also smashed to kindling
wood; but the driver escaped unhurt,
being thrown. into q nearby snow
bank. In crossing the railroad track
he did not see the approaching train
on account of being huddled up in an
enclosed rig. i
Saturday night and Sundays storm
was, by all odds, the record breaker
for the winter. A fifty mile gale, ac-
companied by a heavy fall Of SNOW,
menaced the safety of anyone ventur-
ing out and as a result many farmers
coming from a distance for Saturday
shopping were compelled to spend the
night in town. After the storm had
subsidized there were rumors Of fatal
ties in the Turtle Mountains, but
these rumors have not been verified.
There was no train on Monday, the
plow being kept busy all day
opening up the line for traffic.
