Dave Rust was elected treasurer,
Erick Sannes, clerk, Lewis Huber, SUI
pervisor and j. R. Cox assessor, at the
township election on March 18th.
The election held in this township
was very light on account Of the
storm which took place the day before
and also ragged all day Tuesday. Still
the N. P. L. vote was 81 times the
strength of the 1. V. AS. We have
been shut up from the outside world
for the past week but trust that we
will soon be connected again and get
the news.
One of the worst storms that has
visited North Dakota for years &C.
Cured here March 18th. It started
in with rain and snow in the morning
and about noon took on larger pre-
parations and turned into a regular
old time blizzard. Miss, Kim kept 10 Of
her pupils at school No. /, over night
and they were supplied with supper
by Chance Huber who acted the part
of the "Good Samaritan in Distress"
Mrs. J. H Williams also sent down a
bountiful breakfast to them next
morning.
Miss Haakenson and the Bronson
children came to school No. 2 in the
morning and staid until about 2 P. M.
when they started for home. They got
as far as the VIM. McNea home where
Mr.. McNea fixed the pole Of their
jumper and asked them to stay all
night but they thought that they could
make it home. Shortly after leaving
Mr.. McNea's home they got off the
road and became confused and lost
and were not found until 2 o'clock the
next day. They sure were lucky in
getting off as easy as they did after
| spending nearly, twenty four hours
in a covered jumper. The Bronson boy
had his hands and feet and face quite
badly frozen but at the present time
the indications are that he will come
thru O. X. Erick Sannes tried several
times to get to school No. 8 and rescue
the children and teacher but his horses
would not go against the storm. Ths
prospect of going without supper dit
not appeal very strongly to Mr.. Ache
son, so he tied the six children togeth
err and got them safely to the Same
home.
It is reported that G. w. Bronson j
very i'll with the flu. We ~sincerel.
trust that Mr.. Bronson will 0 b
better.
