Snow Bound at Rock River

Snow Bound at Rock River Harold
Silver arrived in this city yesterday,
after a two months visit with his par
ents at Arnold, Neb, and tells an in
teresting story of the experiences of
the passengers who were snowbcund
at Rock River, Wyo. Mr.. Siver's train
was stopped at Laramie for eighteen
hours, after which it proceeded to
Rock River. Here it became the fifth
train that was caught amid the drifts.
They were there for seventy-two
house, while the immense rotaries
worked to open a way Nine other
trains came after the one on which
he was riding; all were double head
ers, so that there were twenty-eight
engines all told. Many of Il csc
"died" and the passengers suffered
from cold. Most of them had enough
to eat. The trains with the dead
engines were pulled back to Laramie
Mr.. Silver says that the wind at times
reached a velocity of 100 miles an
hour rendering efforts to open the
way futile.

the band creditable to the city which is

LISTEN TO MY TALE OF WOE,

"LISTEN TO MY TALE OF WOE
Last Sunday while dressed
In my finest and best
And Fastening afoot to the church
l received a rough deal
From an automobile
Which plastered my garments with
smirch.
Twas on lower Shoshone
do swear and depone,
While crossing the bridge on my way
In moment of time
By blizzard of slime
was covered with filth and dismay.
There was no place to flee
AS the driver could see
And it filled him with cruel delight,
So lie threw on the gas
As he swiftly did pass
And the way the mud flew was a
fright.
l could see the boob grin
While committing this sin
And my anger most righteously
burned;
/ longed for a gun
And murder well-dOne,
AS nomeward l grievously turned.
This will show how a mans
Good intentions and plans
Can be easily lost in the lurch,
For I'd sure rather shoot
That ungodly galoot
Than to own the best pew in the
church.
The churches all preach
And religiously teach
If a blow on one cheek we receive,
Turn the other at once
For by doing such stunts,
To our Heavenly homes we achieve.
But the truth l must tell
Of it sends me to ..*)
I would rather get square with that
guy,
Than to wear a Saints crown
And a snowywhite gown,
Or to win a fine home in the sky
With genuine pride
l could take that gink's hide
l And nail it with joy on my fence -
a And I'd bust every wheel
In his automobile
Regardless of time or expense.

FAR BETTER THAN MULES

That is Why Sussex County Nav Get
Tractor for its Dirt Road Work
Under the direction of employees a
demonstration has been made in Sussex
to show that a tractor is a great
labor-saving device, for the cOnstruc-
tion of roads. Statesmen for the trac-
tors appeared before meeting of the
county commissioners recently and ar
ranged for the demonstration. 1t is
claimed that the tractor, which the
officials contemplate buying, will do
the work of twelve mules aud will
cost the county about three dollars a
day, whereas twelve mules to road
scraper or roller would cost approx
mately fifteen dollars day. Engineer
Upham is to determine if the tractor
is the thing needed for work on the
county roads and if he reports favor
ably one will he purchased.
