When the old oak tree that grew in Mrs. Julia Myers back yard fell without damaging the surrounding buildings and she remarked that God Had done a better job of falling the tree than men could have done, her son, Arthur Myers and Ray Moore accepted the challenge. The next week end they cut the other big tree in the back yard. They were confident they could fall the tree in a certain place, but it swung to the left and crashed across neighbor Ed Friedenthal's woodshed completely demolish ing it and its contents. Last Wednesday evening after work Friedenthal decided to try his hand at tree trimming. One large limb, quite high on his tree, shades the garden in summer. He climbed a ladder and when he had sawed about half way through the limb it split off and knocked him to the ground where he landed face downward. Ray Moore, who was sawing wood in the Myer's back yard at the time, picked Ed up and rush ed him to the doctor. No bones were broken, but Ed's skin was, reports his wife, and he spent the following day in bed. There is one huge old tree still stand ing in the front yard of the Myers home, and one in the street. TALE GOES OVER WATERTOWN, S. D.
