THROUGH BURNED BRIDGE
ON RiCHEY LINE; ONCE
LIVED HERE

Wolf Point friends and acquaint
ances Were shocked to learn o
the death of John Kline, son o
Tom Kline who resided in Vol
Point until about four years ago
Young Kline was instantly killed
near Sidney when the locomotive
or which he was firing al onto
a burned bridge. The following
account was taken from the Fair
view News. This is the second
fatal railroad accident within a
month in which former Wolf Point
residents were killed. The other
was Pat Mullis. The Fairview
News says:
John Kline, fireman, age about
IS years, was instantly killed and
Mac" McMurtry, engineer, age So,
was injured at $3.50 Friday morn
ing when train number 745, run
ming from Richey to Bainville,
plunged through the rails of a
burned bridge west of Sidney.
The train was said to be going
about 20 miles per hour when it
struck the rails suspended across
the shallow creek without support.
The engine remained upright af-
ter blowing about so feet with the
tender and water can buckling to
the left virtually demolishing the
structure. A freight car next in
line on the train was thrown from
its trucks on the opposite side of
the track and rested on it's side.
McMurtry, it was said, saw the
burned structure just before reach
ng the gap and shouted to Kline
o jump. He shouted a second
ime as he reached the alley and
umped. A quick glance back
him that Kline had left
lis seat and was coming down the
llley.
By fractions of an inch, McMurt-
Y escaped with his life. He saw
he box a start over toward him
nd scrambled up the embank-
nent as it fell, striking his legs
t the ankle and pinning him to

body was found under the
Treckage between the tender and

A truck secured from a nearby
arm took many of the passengers
nd some of the crew to Sidney.
IcMurtry was taken to the Sid
ey hospital for X-rays and other
ledical attention. County coroner

The exact cause of the burned
ridge was not determined, but it
yas thought that cinders from the
rain Thursday afternoon caused

ent that has occurred in that sec

Saturday morning Mr.. and Mrs. L..
o. Lund and Mr.. and Mrs. Adams mo-
tored to Duluth and on to the iron
range to spend the weekend with the
Lunds' son, Rudolph and family, in
their summer home, which is stu
ated on two acre plot on one of the
beautiful islands of Lake Vermillion.
Lake Vermillion is known to many as
one of the largest and most beautiful
of the many lakes in Minnesota, hav-
ing more than eight hundred miles of
shore line and dotted with over three
hundred picturesque rocks, some being
in the large table shape which extend
partly into the water, many of them
being twenty or thirty feet in length
or breadth.

A LITTLE NONSENSE
A Radio Mix.Up.

The following is the experience of
a man who had just installed radio.
He tuned in getting three stations on
the same wavelength. One was a
minister, one was man telling the
condition of the roads and the third
was a lecturer on poultry. Here is
what he heard:
1.-The old testament tells us that
baby chicks should detOur one mile
south of Salina and listen to the
words of the prophets. Be careful
in the selection of your eggs and
you will find hard surface roads
on to Garden City. We find in Gene
sis that the roads are muddy west of
the hen house and clean straw is es-
sential if you would save your soul.
After passing through Leavenworth,
turn north to Jericho. Three wise
men bought large incubator on ac-
count of bad detour. The baby
chicks were troubled with the pip and
a bond issue is being talked of in the
Holy City. Keep the feet clean and
dry, live life of righteousness and
turn south one mile west of the
school house. Much care should be
used in commanding the sun to stand
still as there is a washout on the
bridge just south of PaOla and the
road to salvation is under repair.
making it necessary for 20 degrees in
the brooder house at all times. After
you leave Winfield, unless you do
these things the wrath of the Lord
will cause the pin feathers to fall
out and detour one mile south. Many
are called but few have the luck un-
less the gravel road between Topeka
and Lawrence is mixed with the feed.
Out of 500 eggs one should get good
roads from Coffeyville and Tulsa and
he commanded Noah to build the Ark
just one mile west of Wichita. 1t
rained forty days and forty nights,
caused an eight mile detour. many
tourists from the House of David are
trying the Plymouth Rocks mixed
with concrete and a desire to do right.

NeU Pavilion
For RutLedge

Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Brooks who have
their home just north of Rutledge viii
lage, on the banks of the beautiful and
winding Kettle river. ale making prep
aratiOns to care for tourist trade.
They have a five acre plot which is
leveled off in fine shape, and on it
they have built a pavilion which will
be opened to the public ON Saturday
evening" June 8th, with big dance
to which music will be furnished by
the Thorne orchestra of Sandstone.
The pavilion which is called the Riv-
erview, is 3Ox90 feet. Work on the
construction of it was started May 1
by Mr.. Brooks and carpenters. 1t
is now entirely inclOsed and the floor
which will be of hard maple, will be
laid within a few days. The dance
floor space is 30x7O, allowing 20 feet
for refreshment counter in the front
and a projection on the east end for
the orchestra, and also ladies' rest
room and cloak room.
The pavilion is located right at the
point where Highway No. 1.-The pave
ment-crosses Kettle river, and there
is a beautiful bank along the river,
shaded by the building and large trees
where the Brooks will serve refresh
ments to tired tourists, family parties,
and others who may like to stop for
little rest any day of the week. 1t
is planned to have dances every Sat-
urday night, but the pavilion will
also be accessible to lodges, farmers
clubs, organizations, or private par
ties. For the convenience of the
public, Mr.. Brooks is also installing
gasoline filling station and will sell
the Marland gasoline and oils.

posit of $40 had been made in a saw
ings bank with the stipulation that
it was to be left untouched until the
year 1924. At the banks current in
terest rates, this $40 will have grown
to approximately 100000 when the
stipulated year arrives.
1t is said that all the wealth in the
United States could have grown from
$4,000 with interest compounded semi
annually at SO in a little over 300
years.
The equivalent of $24 given by Peter
Minuet on May 6. 1926. to the In
dians for the purchase of Manhattan
Island would today represent sum
of about one billion dollars if the $24
meanwhile had been kept intact with
accumulations of interest compounded
semi-annually at 90.
The sum of $1,000 if invested at go
compounded semi-annually would in
100 years become $369,36O.
These amazing figures are here
made use of simply to illustrate the
reproductive power of money Dol
lars beget dollars much more rapidly
than most of us realize. While it
may seem almost within the range of
the miraculous that $1,000 can be-
come more than third of a million
dollars in 100 years simply through
the processes of compound interest, we
should bear in mind that every dollar
we have working for us is piling up
accumulations for our benefit in eX-
actly the same manner.
No sum of money is too small to be
saved or invested. Every great for
tune in the world had it's real origin
in very modest savings.
But we should bear in mind that
dollars do not become our servants
until we have saved them first. No
interest is paid on good intentions. If
it is only 81, put it to work for you
today. Others will follow more easily
and more quickly than you suspect.
