FRED RATHERT SEES
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT

Fred Rathert, vice president of
the First State Bank, witnessed a
horrible automobile-train accident
in the vicinity of Browns Valley,
MINI, last Friday when he was
returning from a short business
trip to Minnesota and South Da-
kota.
Mr.. Rathert and one other man
were the only passengers on the
"galloping goose" running through
that section of the country. They
noticed Ford car travelling at
about 80 miles an hour approach
ing the train. 1t appeared that
the driver of the car did not see
the train and the engineer saw it
too late to stop but he applied his
brakes and slowed down as quick
Iy as possible, although the car
was so close that the decrease in
speed was hardly noticeable at
the time of the impact. The car,
which contained eight people, ran
into the train while going at full
speed.
Mr.. Rathert, his fellow passen-
ger and the brakeman got out of
the train to help the stricken peo-
pie. Three Of the passengers of
the car were dead and horribly
mangled by the force of the i'm
pact. The others were loaded in
to the baggage car of the train.
One of them died before the work
of moving the survivors into the
train was completed. Medical at
tention was given the survivors
in Browns Valley.

The WOLF POINT
PUBLIC LIBRARY

A splendid gift was made to
the public library last week by
Mr.. and Mrs. H. 7. Smith. In TAX
ing up their residence at their
newly purchased home Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith found that they had
about fifty volumes of good books,
fiction, biography, and religious,
for which they had no further
use, these books they therefore
donated to the public library
where they were immediately put
into circulation.
The following is a statement
concerning the object Of the pub
lie library:
This library was started by the
Presbyterian Woman's club as
community project. When start
ed there was no thought in mind
that it should be solely under the
care of the Presbyterian church.
The committee appointed sought
for location down town so that
the library would be central, but
could find no vacant building
which they felt they could afford.
Because of this the library was
housed in the basement of the
Presbyterian church, and was TAX
en- care of by Mr.. and Mrs. Walk
er as it still is.
Now that the library has proven
a success it is desired that it be-
come entirely a community pro-
ject, and the best way to make it
so, it appears to us, would be
for the ladies aids of the town to
appoint two members each ito sit
on library board, and for the
Woman's Club to do likewise.

The burglars forced the lock
of the front door, went in and
took silk hosiery and silk under
wear out Of boxes, and suits and

pensive goods were taken, other
things being unmolested. The
back door of the store was barred
with heavy iron bars padlocked
with strong paddock. The pad
lock was pried open with a rusty

lying on a pile Of overalls.

ment which had just come from

GOLFERS like
RICHEY'S LINKS
TEN WOLF POINT PLAYERS
GO FOR SUNDAY GAME
WIN CLOSE CONTEST

Ten members of the Wolf Point
golf club went to Richey last Sun
day for a return meet with the
Richey club. Eighteen holes were
played by five foursomes compet-
ing in a style that has not been
employed in meets on the local
course. The scores were deter
mined by one point for each hole
won, and one point for chest
ball" on each hole. Two players
from each club, of course, played
in each foursome. The pair MAX
ing hole in the fewest number
Of combined strokes won point
for their club, and the individual
player who made the hole in the
fewest number of strokes won a
point for his club, for best ball.
Well Made Course
The individual scores for each
nine holes and the points won are
given below. The Wolf Point
players were surprised and de-
lighted with the golf course they
found at Richey, which they de-
scribed as very complete, well con-
structed and cared for. While
rendered difficult by numerous
hazards this feature adds greatly
to the interest. The distances are
slightly greater than on the Wolf
Point course, making par "a. The
fairways are well defined by
stakes and certain pieces Of rough
are defined by small stakes.

The Globe Shoe and Clothing Company store
was the scene of its fourth burglary last Thursday
night or early Friday morning. Silk dresses silk
hosiery silk underwear and suits amounting to be-
tween $4,000 and $500 were taken No insurance
was carried on the stock. To date there is no clue
as to the identity of the burglars but the job close
ly resembles that of year ago. when silk goods were
taken, that it seems probable the same gang entered
the store in both instances.
