Thousands Of Frogs
Are Killed BY Cars
WINDOM-Like the old Egy-
ptians the people Of this locality
seem to be having plague Of frogs,
although they can scarcely be call
ed a plague since they have been
doing no harm. After every rain
one may see them hopping across
the highway in great numbers at
night. It would be hard to estimate
how many thousands of them were
killed by cars, just between Win
dom and Bingham Lake on Number
go. People noted peculiar spots
on the paving and then discovered
that they were dead frogs which
had been hit by cars. For a couple
Of miles out Of Window they would
easily average four dead frogs to
the square yard.

only a false alarm" Before the
alarm could be stopped, it was nee
essary to call Cashier A. e. Nord'
strom to the bank.
