A deal was perfected yesterday whereby on June 15 Dr. E. H. Argetsinger, the dentist, takes possession of the dental parlors of Dr. F. H. Burnett in this city. Dr. Argetsinger, not only purchased the practice of Dr. Burnett but also his building on Hiawatha street, and he will move there as soon as Dr. Burnett vacates. We also learn that one of the conditions of the sale was that Dr. Burnett is not to open another office in this city. Dr. Argetsinger has only been here for a few months but during that time he has made many friends and has proven that he is a first-class dentist and by investing in property here he is a strong believer in the future of Pipestone and intends to remain here.

A pig on the loose caused damage to three cars about 11:00 p.m. Monday, June 11, one half mile north of Trosky on Highway 75.
The pig, owned by Ed Van Gelder, rural Pipestone, strayed onto the road and was hit by a 1970 Plymouth Duster headed north and driven by Mary Kuiper, Pipestone. A 1965 Chevelle driven by Edward H. Brands, rural Pipestone, was following the Kuiper car and also hit the pig causing the carcass to be thrown across the road and into the path of a southbound 1970 Ford Galaxy driven by Lawrence Zwart, Edgerton.
Moderate damage was done to the front left side of the Kuiper car, to the front underside of the Brands car and to the front underside of the Zwart car.
The pig was killed by the collisions.
