THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT I WOOD LAKE DEPARTMENT
LeTiOY Leach Editor
State Superintendent Corbett passed
through Woodlake Monday morning
on his wav to attend the teachers in
stitute at Valentine
Our citizens are liberally responding
to a request for aid for the family of
Joseph Miller whose home on the Dun
bar ranch was recently totally destroy
ed by lightning
The phonograph marl visited our
city last Priday and his talking ma-
chine proved as it always does a
great attraction for the numerous and
terrible small boy
The A O TJ W supper held at the
hall Saturday evening was well attend
ed despite the threatening storm and
those present report an enjoyable time
Woodlakes festivities are always up
to date and if a visitor ever leaves one
of our entertainments dissatisfied he is
a man who cant be pleased
Mr and Mrs C M Bailey Mrs
Lewis and daughter and son Mrs Wit-
lis Barnard Mr and Mrs Chandler
Mr and Mrs G A Johnson all of
Woodlake helped to swell the crowd
at the Longpine Chautauqua last week
and those who remained seemed to be
enjoying themselves to the utmost
During the thunder
ing officer
storm on the
evening of July 25th Karl Lutz and
two sons who reside a few miles west
of this place being out after hay
were struck by lightning which in
stantly Killed the younger son Otto
and severely shocked the other men
The young man was buried in Wood
lake cemetery Monday
In response to an invitation extend
ed us by Editor Berkley of the Ains
worth Star Journal we went down to
Longpine Saturday and remained un
til Monday morning We will heree
mark that we think Mr Berkley and
our other friends of Ainsworth and
Longpine very able entertainers they
certainly treated us very nicely We
suppose it is but proper to give an ac
count of our Chautauqua experiences
for the benefit of the uninitiated pil
grim who is secretly planning to some
day visit the vale of the Longpine
There were some very nice people
on the grounds among whom we ob
served our oldtirne friends the tired
looking German the inquisitive cross
eyed man and the old maid with the
cork screw ringlets we were glad to
see them
Boihg of a naturalistic botanistic
scientific and philosophical turn of
mind and possessed of a longing to
thoroughly ferret out the intricate
mysteries surrounding the study of
bugology we strolled fifty seven miles
for the purpose of finding seven bugs
which we didnt pick up We how
ever picked three boquets seven sand
cherries eight choke cherries and four
sand burrs out of our heel after Which
we had dinner
After dinner imagining that we
were near the north pole and needed
exercise to warm our blood we seized
a bicycle and started forth at break
neck speed regardless of the numer
ous rising generation the tailormade
man with his hand-me-down girl
nineteen dear little pugs four dear
big Newfoundland dogs the tall learn
ed looking gentlemen in specs who
couldnt see us coming and in spite of
all these things we had a fair ride
We then enjoyed the life of Christ in
art for two hours
About eleven p m we boarded the
westbound passenger for Ainsworth
knowing that we had had a good time
andknowing that we had Chautau
quised the Chautauqua and now had
a sunburned nose very pleasant
memories and a tired feeling
Crand Army Benefit
The G A R benefit entertainment
at Cornell Hall last Saturday night
was quite well patronised and the pro
gram was given in full Perhaps the
best number was the tableau a group
statue representing the army and the
navy C H Trotter posing for the
former and It S Dennis for the latter
branch of Uncle Sams service The
Patriots Drill which was first present
ed last Decoration Day was repeated
and -was cordially received The Gun
Drill was well executed and Miss
Edna IDwyer made a good command-
The negro farce Uncle
Jeff by six young men two of whom
represented women provoked consid
erable laughter The mako ap of the
boys was good but some of them were
afflicted with stage fright The -old
soldiers realized a neat sum frora the
entertainment

JJanscerons but Amusing
While on their waj to Rosebud Sun
day J TV Spirk and Adolph Heller
had an exciting runaway which might
have been much more serious than it
fortunately was When abont four
miles out of town the team became
frightened and started to run imally
colliding with a telephone pole tearing
it to the ground In the melee which
followed Messrs Spirk and Heller were
dumped out of the buggy the latter
making a flying leap through the air
apparently with the intention of riding
one of the horses but missing the
equine he seemed to think a mud pud
dle was the next best place to light so
he steered for that and struck the pud
dle in the center While Mr Heller
was performing this interesting acro
batic feat Mr Spirk was trying to do
the mysteries disnppearance act by
getting himself tangled up in the
buggy top but finally bobbed up
serenely at the side of the roart y
this time the team had turned around
and started for town but were cap
tured by a iarmer before they had
gone very far The rig was not much
damaged and after a little amateur
repairing had been done to it the two
pilgrims started for Rosebud again A
weak neckyoke caused all the trouble
by allowing the buggy pole to drop to
the ground
