NEW YORK, Dec. 9-Peter Clausen,
young Dane, employed as lineman by
the Northern New York Electric Llght
company, met a horrible death this
morning. 1t was in every way similar
to that of Feeks who was killed by an
electric wire few weeks ago. Clau.
sen met his death on the pole at the
corner of Third avenue and
One hundred and fifty sixth
street. This pole was close to the sta
ton of the suburban elevated railroad
and IN front of a four-storY-fiat house.
1t is about thirty feet high and has two
crOSS-beams, the upper one supporting
telegraph wires and the lower beam
carrying two electric light wires.
Shortly after Ciausen ascended the
pole some children playing about its
base heard a kissing noise. Looking
up they saw the lIneman lying across
the two electric light wires, while a
blush light shot from his right hand
and head. The ehildren's cry of terror
attracted the attention of their parents
in the fiat. Two women at front win
dow here tainted at the sight. Clau-
sens body
WAS QUIVERING AND BURNING.
His right hand was tightly clutched
around one wire, while bis chin hung
over the other. The wires were in
sulated with the poorest and cheapest
Insulation. The police We're summoned
and Thomas Smith, the driv. lof an ex-
press wagon volunteered his assistance
in gettin e the iIHeman off the pole. Three
police officers, and Smith mounted to
the roof of the elevated station and used
rope to lasso the body. The rope was
old and it broke. A second rope was
got around the body, but all efforts
failed to break Clausen's hold of the
wire. When pulling on the rope Smith
touched Clausen's body and re-
ceived a shock that knocked
him senseless. He was taken
to liquor store and revived
by stimuiants. Finally a hatchet was
secured and one OF the electric wires
severed. thus breaking the connection.
Clausen's body was then lowered to the
street. He was dead. and his body
smeiied Of burning flesh. The palm Of
his right hand was burned to the bone.
and the fore arm from the wrist to the
elbow was a mass of charred flesh.
ClauSen's body was taken to his home,
where his wife who is about to become a
mother. went almost frantic at the sight
it presented.

JAMESTOWN. N. o., Dee. 9.-Within
a short time it has become known that
the elevator companies doing business
in North Dakota have been selling to
the roller mills of the state great deal
of wheat for No. hard that was bought
last fall direct from farmers for No. l
and No. northern. and in some cases
at a still lower grade. OF course the
elevator owners profits on the deal for
cleaning and storing Will foot up hand
SOmely. Owing TO partial loss of two
crops farmers have, as rule. been CON-
PEELED to early surrender what wheat
they raised last season to satisfy the
chattel mortgage sharks and other cred
itOrs. The elevator companies paid
only the lOwe,t price, and graded,
whenever poss. lie, at the lowest notch.
The combination which was made early
in the seasun to keep only one elevator
running in a town where several eX-
isted. is having the bad effects feared.
Merchants are complaining of de-
crease in trade. and farmers are help
less. In several towns open competi-
tiOn has induced farmers To haul their
wheat in wagons a distance of ten to
twenty miles to get the benefit of few
cents advance thereby. The members
of the present legislature, governor and
railroad commissioners were elected di-
rect from the farming class, and hope
exists that some relief can be had at this
session
