Charles Fitch Goes Down to Death VIII
out . Moments Warning.

Charles Fitch Goes Down to Death With
out Moments Warning.
One of those tragic deaths from foul
air in we'll, which unfortunately are
not very rare, occurred at the farm OF
Thos. March, few miles east of this
place, last Monday night. Charles
Fitch and John Arnett had been Dor
ing we'll for Mr.. March, and had
sunk their we'll augur about fifty feet
without getting water. At the time
of the accident the soft sand was
troubling them, and in order to stop
this difficulty, young Fitch proposed,
after supper, to raise the wooden curb
ing short distance and then settle it
down so as to keep the sand from fur
Their caving. He jumped playfully on
the chain suspended over the well, and
told his partner to lower him down so
that he could hook into the wire on
the curbing and pull it up. Before he
had been lowered half way down the
we'll, he called out that there was an
awful smell, and his partner looking
down, noticed that young Fitch's eyes
looked unnatural, and in alarm told
him to cling to the rope, at the same
time starting up the horse at work on
the windlass at a run. When Fitch
got within ten or twelve feet of the
top the rope suddenly slackened, fol-
lowed by the thud of the unfortunate
young man, as he struck the bottom of
the we'll after fall of nearly forty
feet. As it was apparent there was
foul air in the we'll, the usual test of
lowering lighted candle was tried,
and it was soon found that nothing
could be made to burn few feet be-
low the surface. Under these condi-
lions, for another victim to go after
young Fitch was deemed foolhardy,
and the next three hours was spent in
trying to grapple the body with vari-
GUS devices. A messenger was immed-
ately sent to town for additional help,
and soon large crowd was gathered
by that fascination that always draws
people together when human life is in
danger. 1t was nearly eleven o'clock
before the body was recovered. Of
course the last spark of life had fed
long ere this. The body showed
bruises in several places, owing to the
terrible fall, but the face of the dead
man is said to have been remarkably
lifelike and peaceful.
Chas. Fitch came to Redwood Falls
from his home in Cattarangus county,
New York, about four years ago. He
was an active, fearless young man of
excellent character, and was "a years
old last December. For two years af-
tor coming to this place he was en-
ployed on DR.. Riheldaffer's farm, and
he subsequently became member OF
the doctors church. His only relatives
here were in Isaac Roots family, Mrs.
Root being a sister of his father. Both
of his parents are living, and upon be-
ing apprized of their great loss by tel
egram, wired their relatives to have
the body embalmed and forwarded to
them at once. This was done last ev-
ening preceded, by short service of
prayer at Mr.. Roots conducted by DR..
Riheldaffer. Young Fitch went back
to New York last year, land while there
one of his brothers died. His bereaved
parents have now only a younger son
left tn them.

swEDEs FOREST CHURCH.

Sunday and Monday, June 10 and
20, we're two of the pleasantest days
that the Scandinavian people of
Swedes Forest and vicinity have ever
enjoyed. The event opened on Sun
day by the dedication of the Skandin-
avian Lutheran church, which is pleas
antly located on the bluffs of the Min
nesota. The foundation and outer
structure of the church were erected
three years ago, and the meetings
have been held in it since then, the
people being obliged to sit on plank
seats without backs; but last years
crop made the congregation feel that
they ought to and could finish tho
church, and they now have the best
equipped and furnished country
church in the county, and if they had
an organ the church would be second
to none of the village and city church
es in Redwood county. When the
people gathered to dedicate their fine
structure, on Sunday morning, an in
Indebtedness of $3.50 rested upon the
church, but ere they went home for
dinner every cent of it was paid and
all went home rejoicing.
The dedication services were opened
with Introductory remarks by Rev
Askevold, and music by the choir and
congregation. The sermon was then
preached by Rev. DR.. Preus, president
of the Norwegian Lutheran Synod of
America, after which the customary
dedication collection was taken up in
true Methodistic style, and the meet
ing was closed with appropriate music
by the choir. Having their church
and congregation freed from indebt-
edness, the good people gathered on
Monday morning for a church mis-
sionary festival, such as only those
who are pervaded by true missionary
spirit, can conduct. The sermon was
preached by Rev. Torgrinson, of Sioux
Falls, S. D., and music rendered by
the choir. A picnic dinner was served
free to all by the Ladies' Sewing So
ciety, after which the gathering was
changed into a Pioneer picnic and the
following program carried out: Music,
by the Delhi Cornet Band; Speech to
the pioneer settlers by L. M. Gimme
stad; song by the choir; speech by
Rev. Askevold; music, Delhi Cornet
band; speech Rev. Kittlesby, of Rem
vile; music, Delhi band address, Rev.
McHenry, of Delhi. After this sew
eral pieces by the Delhi band, and ev-
cry one of the 600 present went home
we'll pleased and satisfied.

Keith's Case Continued.

Marshall News Messenger: Wesley
Keith, who was convicted of abducting
Nora Greenslit, a child of ten years,
and violating her person, and for
which he was sentenced to five years
in the state prison, was granted new
trial by the supreme court, and the
case was to be retired at the June
term. But the defense again got in
its work in spiriting away the witness
es, the child and her mother, who
were at Redwood Falls, and they
could not be found when wanted. It
was thought this would end the affair,
but County Attorney Seward easily
secured a continuance of the case un-
til the December term of court. Judge
Weber promptly sat down upon the
defense, when an attempt was made
to have Keith's bail reduced, and the
sum of 5000 was retained. It is post
sible that Keith may outwit the ofic-
ers of the law and the sworn friend of
a soldiers orphan, but it is no way
probable,

TAKING THE ROADS.
Western Railroads Having All
the Traffic That They Can
Handle.
Serious Freight Blockades
Threatened at Missouri
River Crossings,
Although Every Possible Pre-
caution Has Been Taken
to Prevent Them.
East-Bound Shipments From
Chicago Show a Good
Increase.

CHICAGO, Aug. twithstanding
the unsatisfactory condition of freight
rates west of Chicago all the railroads in
that territory claim to be doing good
business and making money. Ship
ments of grain and live stock from the
trans-Missouri territory are very large,
even for this season of the year, and
some of tine roads are already threatened
with blockades at the Missouri river
crossings. The Burlington is having
some difhcultyi in providing motive power
and cars sufficient to promptly meet
the orders of shippers, but there
have been no serions delays thus far.
Preparations have been made by all the
roads to handle an unusually large ton
mage this year, and every possible pre-
caution has been taken against freight
blockades. In this they are aided very
materially by the elevators in Chicago,
which are handling grain more ex-
peditiously than ever before. so that the
roads are not embarrassed by long de-
lays in unloading cars. All the roads
report that the traffic outlook for the
next six months was never better.
East-bUund shipments of freight by
rail from Chicago last week amounted
to 81, 94S tons, against 52.63S during the
proceeding week. an increase of 2,310
tons. Lake shipments during the week
amounted to S7,S63 tons. against 93.447
for the preceding week, decrease of
1854 tons. Through shipments of flour,
grain and provisions from Chicago to
the sea board by the lines in the Cen
trail Traffic association amounted to 81
900 tons, against 20,270 for the preced-
ing week. an increase of 1859 tons, and
against 22,S62 for the corresponding
week OF last year, a decrease of 953

Was Held.

on Wall Street.
Quotations Take a Drop in
the Stocks Which Ex-
hibit Activity.

CHICAGO, Aug. 90 Wheat had a strong
opening today, and made a considerable
gain, but all the advance was not held. The
strength was due to a number OF bullish fac
tors, including stronger cables partial re-
covery of the trade from the cholera panic,
and very general i'm preston that the vi
emma congress report was likely to prove q
bnllish one. But the principal strength was
found in the news from the Northwest. Re-
ports from there showed that IL had rained
continuously for the past twenty four hours,
and that farmers were apprehensive of great
damage 10 the crop.
It was also said that cold wave was be-
hind the rain storm, and that a dangerously
low temperature was probable. The inspec-
ton sheet also went far to confirm the re-
ports of the poor quality of the wheat in the
Northwest, which have been SO general of
late. as out of forty cars OF new spring
wheat only seven were up TO contract grade.
There was good buying from the start,
partly for the long account and partly to
cover shorts, ard as there was not much Of
fered, firmness was the general rule. The
outside buying was apparently on larger
scale than usual. Later. on the large increase
in the visible supply and some reason to be-
lieve that the early bullish news from the
Vienna congress was not well founded. the
market lost good deal of what it had gained
The information, as originally circulated
purported to be dispatch from Vienna re-
porting the decrease in the worlds wheat

crease III the rye CROP 10000 900 blu. Sep
TENDER opened at 760763sc. against 755sc at
the close on Saturday, worked up to 769sc, re-
coded and closed easy at 76c.
Corn was nrmer on reports of cold weather
in the Southwest, and also alphabetically
affected by the strength in wheat. There
was no pressure to sell, and with good de-
mand from shorts and fair amount of buy
ing for the long account the feeling was gen
orally strong and prices averaged consider
ably higher. September started at 507s@5IAc
against 5CS4c at the close Saturday, sold off
slightly, advanced to $3.50 and closed at
5ll4c.
Oats quiet and firm, principally in sym
pathy with the strength in corn and wheat.
Fluctuations were confined to range of Ac,
closing unchanged in comparison with Sat
urday's last price.
Hog products were more active and higher;
the liquidation was less pronounced, and the
buying was more LIBERAL while the strength
i'll grain also helped TO make a strong market
for provisions as did the COM aratively light
receipts and the higher prices for hogs. Oc-
t0ber pork fuctuated within range of 12I2c
and closed within 2l2c of the top, with an
advance of 15c. Lard is 7I2c up and ribs 15c.
Lake freight unchanged.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
9l0 cars; corn, 725 cars; oats, 354 cars; hogs,
