Locomotives Seek Railway in Winnipeg and Tide of Ties Fire
In Winnipeg two locomotives arrive, intended for the Red River road, but with no nearby line to meet them. The engines will be sent back to Glyndon and then north to locate the missing route. A Sunday fire at Scott's Hill destroyed 10,000 of Mr. Strevel's ties, with another 10,000 previously ruined. The Government and Strevel dispute ownership of the ties. Rain and colder weather followed, delaying crops and blooming wild berries at a later season than last year.

Morning Call Office Destroyed by Fire and Rebuild Efforts

Managers moved quickly to a new building, compiling type ink paper and presses to resume publishing. A heavy warm rain followed, saturating ground and boosting crop prospects. D W Cumming reportedly will not accept Conservative domination for Birtle, though a possible reconsideration exists after unanimous convention selection. Norquay and Hagal failed to reach Little as anticipated, disappointing many hoping to hear the ex premier.
