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. T. T. WA ID. 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 We scoff at things which used to be, because they're out of date; the styles of eighteen ninety-three we wipe clear off the slate.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. NEBRASKA NEWS NOTES.

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.!
