WHAT’S DOING AT THE COUNTY SEAT
While P. A. Muilenburg was out with a horse and buggy last Saturday, the
horse became frightened at a passing auto and the occupant of the buggy was
thrown against a fence, receiving a number of painful bruises.
Teunis E. Marra, accompanied by Dr. H. J. Vande Waa and Miss Evelyn Vande
Steeg went to LeMars where he underwent a second operation. Miss Vande Steeg
