and came on by train to Dickinson.

J. G. Wall drove the Manning stage
in last Saturday and returned Mon
day morning. Since the heavy snow
came the stage has been running very
irregular, teams starting from both
Manning and Dickinson the. same
morning, making the trip through
one way in a day. Relay teams are
kept at the Gibson farm in the
brakes, about one-haf the distance OF
the route. It is pretty hard travelling
even with a team as the snow blows
little every day and fills up the
broken trail. By using the double
shift of teams, Alex Fowler, owner Of
the stage line, hopes to be able tt
keep up the daily schedule between
the two towns.
