Miss Mary Yates left Saturday for Yellowstone Parity accompanied by her cousin, W. W. Ewen of Chicago. They will spend a few weeks there. Miss Yates will visit at Omaha, Neb., with relatives on the return trip. White County Democrat: Howard Simons, who went to Milter, South Dakota, with Frank Baker some weeks ago, returned home last Monday. He reports everything dry and hurtling up in the Northwest and work very scarce. George Snyder, Baker and others from Monticello now up there will probably be home soon. A young man named Smith of north of Wheatfield, in Wheatfield tp., was killed by the cats at North Judson Sunday. He went there the night, before with some companions to atend a dance, we understand, and the next morning in attempting to cross the railroad stepped from behind a freight train in the path of a fast express and was ground to pieces. He was about 19 years of age. AS REPORTED BY BROOK PAPER. One of the car drivers from Rensselaer had a narrow escape at the McCabe river bridge, east of town Monday night. The driver was hitting up a high speed and noticing the narrow and dangerous nature of the grade applied the brakes. He evidently shot on the brakes hard, and any driver can tell what would happen. The car skidded and overturned on the very brink of the river bank. In fact, as one of the parties express it who saw the accident, “one more pound would have toppled the car over the bank.” which meant a drop of some thirty feet. No one was seriously •injured but it is said that one of the young ladies riding in the car had her nose and shins both barked, but the latter fact is One we will not vouch for by some. Had the car gone over the bank a different Story . could have been told in bold faced type, and the funeral wagon sent out to gather the remains of another speedier.—Brook Reporter.
