VIM. Lindeman Is
Regdining Health
Man Injured by Snow Plow
Makes Good Recovery from
Terrible Injuries

Ernest Lindeman and Frank
Nuremberg visited Sunday at
Rowena at the home Of VIM. Lin
deman who sustained terrible
injuries a few weeks ago by be-
ing hit by d, rotary snow plow.
Mr.. Lindeman has recovered
nicely from the shock and his
general health is splendid con-
sldering the serious test to
which it was put. His left
shoulder blade has also gotten
well enough to permit him to use
his left arm with comparative
ease. Mr.. Lindeman still has
casts on the arm and leg which
were broken and is able to sit
up for only short intervals, but
he and his family are positive
he will make a complete recov-
cry within a reasonable time
and are greatly encouraged. 1t
is no longer necessary for him
to have a trained nurse to care
for him.

call in the country, when they
drove into a huge snow drift,
and it was impossible to drive

each man take a horse. This
was done but when they at

through the drift one went
through and the other refused
to go, and the two men were

Preis Wilhelm, a new resident
of Milford township, having
moved onto the JOS. Schmidt
farm a few weeks ago, upon ar
irving from Illinois with his fam
lily, had an experience Saturday
evening that he will remember
as long as he lives. He had driv-
en- to Sleepy Eye that day to
transact some business matters
and was returning home. He
became cold and got off the sled
to walk. He walked a short dis
lance, when the snow became
so deep that he could make but
little progress. He was SO cold
and the wind was blowing a gale
and he sank down into a drift
and soon became unconscious.
He was found by his son some
twenty rods from the home and
was taken into the house and
restoratives administered. He
soon regained consciousness. His
limbs were beginning to get stiff
when he was picked up. It was
an experience that Mr.. Wilhelm
does not desire to have repeated.

The questioning switched to France
Crozicr said the location of American

the President in conjunction with thu
British and French missions, and not by
the War Department.
"Our knowledge that our troops woulC
