| Monday morning the sad news was
received here that VIM. Lauer OF Lam
| berton was killed by train at Tracy.
1t seems he was standing on one OF the
tracks in the yards waiting for freight
train, when the fearful event occurred.
Lauer stepped from one track to anoth-
er to avoid the train, but just then a
| lying switch was made and a car was
sent against him with full force. He
was thrown to the ground, of course,
and one of the wheels passed over his
body, severlng it in twain. He was a
man OF about forty years and at one
| time lived in Cottonwood.
At a dance in Butternut Valley on
Friday night at the house of j. P. Mey-
err dispute arose between one Carl
Wilson and Theodore Anderson at
about II O'Clock, Chris. Thorstad in
terfered. Thorstad was seen to fall to
the floor. He was picked up and
placed on lounge, and when it was
time to 60 home they went to wake
Ihorstad up and he was found 10 be
dead. A monkey wrench with spots of
| blood upon it was found near where
| Thorstad fell, also spots of blood upon
| the floor. The general opinion is that
there was general row and that some
one struck him with the monkey
wrench.
Our congressional representative. Mr..
Lind, can do his constituents a valuable
service, says the Mankato Review, by
introducing and pushing to it's passage
a bill to place binding Irvine on the free
list. His is purely an agricultural con-
stiluency and probably more would be
benefited than in any other district in
the union. The Irvine interest of this
country has passed into trust more
tYranical and stronger than probably
any other in the country. 1t has bought
up the few independent factories, and
all that remains outside the control of
this gigantic monopoly is the Minnesota
prison and possibly a small concern in
New Jersey, The Minnesota factory
can not make Irvine enough for one
fourth OF the state. BY putting Irvine on
the free list the back bone of this unlaw-
fnl com bination will be most beautifully
severed, and we would like to see Mr.
Lind have the credit.
