Last Saturday morning the Hawks-Angus line had a washout just west of Wilkinson street, carrying away some ten or twelve feet of their road bed. The water had accumulated on the south side of the track to the depth of some six or seven feet, and the section men, by direction of the supervisors, out in a box on the top of the road bed Friday afternoon to carry away the water. It worked very effectively Saturday morning when it went out with a rush, flooding the lands of Thos. Wilkinson, the Keelan estate, James Dann, Chris Breistle and Frank Leach.

A few years ago, it will be remembered, Mrs. Garnet, who was then known as Louise Kalmbach, had her name brought into considerable prominence by a suicide committed at the home of her father, when on, rager, shot himself becasue of unrequited love for the deceased and shortly after the suicide she became the wife of Alva Garbet, another factor in the drama.

She leaves a small daughter and an aged father, one brother and two sisters to mourn her loss.
