. Mrs. Thos. Wolford, who with her
husband lives on the Watson farm
near the White river bridge, was
probably fatally burned Sunday night.
She was standing in front of the stove
when her clothing caught fire, burn
ing her over her entire body from her
knees up. Dr. C. West was immed
iately called from this city, who re
sponded promptly and done all possi
ble to relieve her suffering, but the
chances for her recovery are exceed
ingly small.
The Floyd R. Briggs Company
opened a three nights engagement at
the opera house last night, presenting
“The Inside Track,” a five-act comedy
drama, replete with both comic and
thrilling situations. The characters,
as interpreted by the various members
of the company, were well portrayed
and the specialties between acts were
exceptionally good, making an enter
tainment that is above the average
given by most repertoir companies.
Each ticket purchased is accompanied
by a numbered card which entitles
the bolder to a chance for a pig, which
will be given away tomorrow night to
the one holding the lucky number.

SPEND A NIGHT OF TERROR.
rhrilllnK Experience of Two Farmer*
in Trying; to Crmo Mis
souri River.
J. U. Floerschinger and Ni-ck Nel
son, two Cedar county (Neb.) farm
2rs, who had spent the day in Yank
ton, S. D., left fop home in a light
skiff the other evening. The night
was dark, and the Missouri river full
af floating ice. But they anticipated
no particular danger as they left the
shore and struck out for their homes.
Suddenly they struck a current of
water running at mill-race speed.
Somewhat alarmed, they pulled more
vigorously, and were soon across the.
uptrii uuiicui, uiu KMimi tiitfir pain
blocked by a heavy gorge of ice,
pounding and grinding its immense
blocks against each other, and tower
ing far above their heads one minute,
lo fall with a tremendous crash back
into the river the next, Now thor
oughly scared, the voyagers hastily
searched in the icy barrier for a
channel to the shore, and then des
perately pulled back to return to the
South Dakota side. A few strong
strokes carried them across the roar
ing current, only to find that the
quantities of ice they had met on
that side had also closed in and
formed into another wall, as formid
able as the first. During the rest of
the night tfioy were forced to battle
for their lives against the ice and
the angry river which was forced into
a torrent between the walls on either
side and filled with drift chunks that
threatened each moment tc wreck
their little craft. A hundred times
they were ready to give up the un
equal struggle, hat again took cour
age to fight a little longer. Just at
daylight they succeeded in forcing a
way through the gorge on the Dakota
side, and, more dead than alive,
reached the land.
