FORDYCE — A sweeping direct north wind raised havoc with highways, roads and train routes Wednesday.
The Crofton-Wakefield train was stalled last night for hours in a snow drift three and a half miles this side of Fordyce.
The train arrived safely at Hartington yesterday afternoon and continued its run to Crofton.
Train men said the snow was drifted as high as seven and a half feet and that the drifts were not of newly fallen snow, but the effects of the drifting of the terrific winds.

HARTINGTON — A very timely subject was covered at the regular drill of Co. F. of this city Monday when a 30-minute lecture was given by Lt. Julius Stejskal on ‘flood relief.’
It often happens that in case of serious floods that the Guard companies are mobilized for duty in the flood areas as was the case for the Republican River Valley last June. Lt. George E. Ready conducted the class in musketry and First Sgt.
Clinton Nagel had charge of 30 minutes of close drill.
Major Louis R. Eby, commanding officer of the Second Battalion, visited the Company Monday evening. Captain Lloyd Hardy states that the annual federal inspection will probably be held in April.

HARTINGTON — Rev. Wm. S. Rowden, pastor of the Congregational Church here, took steps this week to establish a troop of Boy Scouts in this city. The local boys seem to be very enthusiastic about the idea.

HARTINGTON — Ernest Lingren, proprietor of the Coleridge Confectionery, sold his bakery to F.L. Hunter, manager of the Farmer’s Union Store of Coleridge. However, Mr. Lingren and family will not leave for a time and he will continue to have charge of the bakery until his departure, which will probably be about the close of the school term.
The Coleridge people regret to see this family move for they have been a great asset to the community.
