farmer whose land adjoins the city
limits of Milbank, suffered heavy
loss when fire destroyed his barn

The hog house, in which consider
able corn is stored, and the dwelling
house were the only buildings saved.
The total loss reaches several
thousand dollars, with insurance of
$4,000 on the buildings and $4,000
on the grain.

.IV. ". ROAD AVVULS
SIX MORE TRAINS
THE NUMBER NOW SUSPENDED
REACHES TEN.

Sioux City, July 26.-With the an
nouncement of Northwestern rail
road officials at Pierre, s. D., that
at midnight Sunday six trains were
taken off at that point and the an
nouncement by officials in Sioux
City that two more passenger trains
would be annuled at this point to-
day, the total number eliminated on
this road since the rail strike has
been boosted to 10. Two trains on
the Northwestern road, running
from Sioux City to Tama, Ia, were
cancelled last week
The trains scheduled to be can
celled here today are Nos. / and 2,
operating between Sioux City and
Oakes, N. d. The cancellation of
these trains will not seriously cur
tail passenger travel to North Dako-
ta, officials here assert, as passen-
ger trains Nos. "a and 25, run
ming between Sioux City and Aber-
deem, S. D., will extend their service
from Aberdeen to Oakes.
llt vi IilV DIN VI
at Pierre eliminates all passenger
service between that point and Rap
id City, s. d., according to rail of
ficials at Pierre. The mail will be
carried by freight trains from Pierre
to Rapid City, information from
Pierre states.
The trains eliminated are Nos.
503 and 514 between Pierre and
Rapid City; trains Nos and z be-
tween Pierre and Redfield, and
trains Nos. SIC and SIT between
Pierre and Elroy, Wis.
This leaves only two passenger
trains at Pierre, one in from the
east and one going east, according
O officials at Pierre. Practically
all mail will be handled by these
two trains. These changes are
made necessary, rail officials as
sert, because of the strike and la
Dor and fuel shortage.
