CAUSE OF THE BREAKING UP
OF THE ICE IN THE MIS-
souri, RIVER IN SPRING.
TIME
(By DR.. Melvin r. Gilmore)

1t is said that in the long ago there
was mysterious being within the
stream of the Missouri River. Ii
was seldom seen by human beings
and was most dreadful to see It is
said that sometimes it was seen with
in the water in the middle of the
stream, causing redness shining
like the redness Of fire as it passed
up the stream against the current
with a terrific roaring sound,
And they say that if this dreadfln
being was seen by anyone in the day
time anyone who thus saw it soon
became crazy and continued restless
and writhing as though in pain u1a-
til he was relieved by death. And it
is said that one time not "a very great
many years ago this frightful being
was seen by man, and he told how
it appeared. He said that it was of
strange form and covered all over
with hair like buffalo, but red In
color; that it had only one eye in the
middle of its forehead, and above that
a single horn. Its backbone stood out
notched and Jagged like an enormous
saw. As soon as the man beheld
the AWFUL sight everything became
dark to him, he said. He was just
| able to reach home, but he lost his
reason and soon after that he died.
1t is said this mysterious "Minl-
| washitu" (water monastery still lives
in the Missouri river, and that in
springtime, as it moves upstream
against the current it breaks up the
ice of the river. This water monster
was held in awe and dread by the
people.

The Times-Record receives lot OF
knocks in year but once in awhile
we also get sincere boost from some
advertiser. H. M. Velzy recently put
an advertisement in our paper calling
attention to house which he wished
to sell. This advertisement cost him
$3.50 and he estimated that this was
the best $3.50 he ever invested as it
sold the house for him. In answer to
the ad he received about 40 queries
regarding the property and completed
the sale to Howard Gould who will
take up his residence there in the
near future. 1t surely pays to adver-

about IS couples attended the G Co.

time and further stated that the new
armory floor is the best floor in the
city for dancing. G Co. now has q

proud Of. Although the dance last
evening was success in every way
there was one drawback and that was
the ticket sale. 1t is said that the
Company will lose about $3.50 on this
dance which shows they did not re-
ceive the support they should have
with their ticket sale. The dance
broke up about 2 o'clock and every
body present reported they spent a
very enjoyable evening.
