Two prominent Towner citizens yanked the conductor and brakeman from a freight train from a caboose in that city and gave them a severe beating because they refused to cut their train in tow at the crossing. The railroad men were taken to the calaboose where they remained until bailed out. The Townerites have grown very impatient because the railroad men neglect to keep the crossing open.
The Ward County Independent, December 5, 1907
