T. T. WAID W HITES
FROM WINTER, WISCONSIN
Winter, Wis., April 12, 1928.
The Frontier, O’Neill, Ncbr.
Dear Sir: Thinking that perhaps
the people in O’Neill would be inter
ested in my trip up here in the North
Woods, I am sending this item to be
printed in the ‘‘Frontier.”
I had A rather disagreeable trip
after leaving Nebraska. 1 reached
Siuox City on time but was forced to
wait two hours and thirty minutes for
my train, due to a heavy snow storm
sweeping the Missouri Valley States.
At St. Paul a three hour wait was
chalked up. Finally I reached Win
ter, Wisconsin, however, where a New
Ford was waiting. I was whirled
through a young blizzerd to the home
of my son-in-law, Nile De Land. The
place is located on River Brunet. I
saw a large “musky” flip in the air
soon after my arrival. He must have
weighed eight or ten pounds. It is
possible to sit on my front porch and
cast directly into the river.
A near tragedy was enacted near
hear a few days ago when Harry De
Land and a friend of his by the name
of Howard MaKendry were attacked
by a large pack of timber wolves.
The young men were returning from
their trapping camp and were heavily
loaded with fresh meat (not rabbit.)
They had left their rifles at camp and
were unarmed. The boys made it to
a pile of logs which luckily had some
tools on it left by lumber jacks. The
wolves were fought off with heavy
logging hooks until a fire was started.
Then a fight started that lasted ten
hours. When daylight came the
wolves gave up and loft and the two
young men nearly dead from fatigue,
were allowed to go on the last twelve
miles to their homes.
As young De Land is well known in
O'Neill I thought this item might in
tercst them. Will write agHin when
1 make u good “catch."
Sincerely.

BRICK BATS.
We scoff at things which used to
be, because they're out of date; the
styles of eighteen ninety-three we
wipe clear off the slate. Prince Albert
coats and women’s clothes, long skirts
and ruffled lace; the somber black
and cotton hose that charmed the hu
man race. The horseless carriage of
the past at seven miles would poke;
machinery which they thought was
fast today is just a joke. The stories
that they used to write were dull as
they could be; no snappy lines and ac
tions trite were in those days set
free. And so today we gaze behind
i into a bye-gone day, from this our
fort of modern mind and thoughtlessly
we say: “Those poor old hicks of
long ago were dumbbells, every one;
their lives were meager, dull and
slow—they never knew real fun."
i Yet those old duffers blazed the way
for us, now in the east; the things
which we enjoy today were founded
Jin the past. We laugh at those
; who’ve gone before, from style to
,one-lunged bus; yet future men will
(tie the score by making fun of us.—
j Brick Smith.

JOHN RILEY, OF REDBIRD,
INVENTS EMERGENCY BRAKE
John Riley, a farmer living south
east of Rcdbird, has invented an emer
gency brake for automobile^ for
which he ia said to have been offered
$•>0,000. He has decided, however, to
handle the brake himself and expects
to have some on the market in a few
weeks.
Mr. Riley recently returned from
Washington, D. C., where he received
a patent. The brake attaches to the
rear axle of the automobile and acts
as a bumper when not in use as a
brake. It is entirely free from the
other works of the car. When the
automobile, running at high speed,
wishes to stop quickly, he releases
this emergency brake and the car is
said to stop almost instantly. The
brake is said to be so arranged that1
it is impossible for the car to upset.!
