BRIEFS
Takes His Fire" To Station
To Exting1Iish

Ortonville- The local fire depart
ment, or rather it's chief, Harlan
Parker, tried out a novel way of
putting out fire early one Sunday
morning recently. It was an easy
way on the firemen too. The idea
is to have the fire in question
brought to the station rather than
chase all over the country with the
fire engine. Joe Noll called Parker
and told him big truck from the
city which was carrying eggs back
to town was on fire. Parker found
the truck, located in the insulation
between the engine and the cab
and inasmuch as the truck had al
ready been driven 20 miles with
the fire burning, he decided to take
it back to town where the fire was
extinguished with ease.
$50
What A Find?
Frazee-Mrs. Alvi Laasch purchas-
ed matches from her grocery store
several weeks ago. put them in the
container and the family proceeded
to use matches as usual. The other
day Mr.. Laasch reached into the
container for a match and his fin
ger caught. To his amazement he
found it was holding a lady's gold
ring with sapphire stone. A check
with the jeweler revealed it's value
to be about $40. Apparently it
had been lost by the packer of the
box.
Hobo Woman Visits
Red Wing
Red Wing-One night recently,
a woman hobo slept on a hard
wooden bench in a public waiting
room in town. She didn't bother
anybody, she didn't talk to anyone.
Her attire included overalls, a
mans coat, a long black woman's
coat, and pair of soiled white shoes.
She was hobo woman No. 2 to
visit Red Wing lately.
Smoking In Bed
Fatal To Smoker
Willmar It is thought that
smoking in bed set the fire which
caused the death Of John Bribben,
of Redwood Falls. Flames destroy
ed the two room house in which
he and his brother, Arthur, resid-
ed. Arthur managed to escape, but
his brother apparently made his
way around the end of the bed and
reached the door connecting the
two rooms, when he collapsed. I'm
fortunately he could not escape the
flames.
Swan Rescued On
Little Rice Lake
Princeton-E. A. Reynolds and
Ernest Keen risked a ducking in
the icy waters of Little Rice Lake
in an attempt to rescue a wounded
swan. They went out on the ice
dragging with them 2 duck boats.
The two men managed to get out a
quarter of a mile on thin ice to
where the bird was standing and
escorted it to safety.
