A HUNTER klLLED.
Joseph MOllner, Of Rich
Prairie, Accid entally
{Sss n ~ ~ Xii d n
Caused BY Carrying q
i Loaded Gun in q
u Sulky. .s....s

Joseph Mollner, Of Rich Prairie,
was shot and killed early Sunday
afternoon, by the discharge of his
own weapon. The Mollner family
lives on what was formerly THO poor
farm, q property rented from John
Koch. The victim was about q
years old. and one OF q numerous
family. He was accompanied by
a young brother, u years old.
From what has been learned SO far,
the accident occurred near tho
.Vernig place, about 3K miles north OF
the village of Pierz. The gun
slipped between the Stats Of the
sulky in which the two were travel
ing, and Mollner, pulling the gun up,
twas discharged, the shot striking
him in the upper. right breast, prob
ably instantly killing him. The
little boy. was SO terrified that after
he reported the accident, it was a
long time before anything could be
got out Of him. He drove the sulky,
with his brothers. body in it, to
Taufer's place, not far off, and from
there it was taken home in a wagon.
Coroner Trace went out and exam
med the body at IL O'Clock Sunday
night. % 2 *<
+ It is evident the accident was due
to carelessness, as good hunters are
notin the habit of carrying loaded
gums in the buggy with them.
Mollner, however, was experienced,
and probably was watching for
chickens along the road. He was
an Industrious young man, and his
death deeply shocked the Rich
Prairie community.

Papers In this vicinity have heen
deyoting some attention lately 70
Y the new railroad route now being
surveyed from Alilaca to Mile Laos
lake. The survey has led to various i a y >
opinions as to Its meaning. One
Theory Ia that when this line Is COM
/, pleted, it will connect with the
Brainerd s. Northern at Brainerd !.
This last line runs nOrtnward
toward Leech lake. Such con- IA.
nection would probably go through
the northeastern part of morrison go IT le'Q
county, opening to settlement q new
region. The advantages 70 that
] part would be many. It is e fertile,
well watered and wooded country,
and railroad would bring in many
settlers. NJ III. RI Il .35 II
Another point, and an important
one, is that after the connection
with the Brainerd & Northern is
made, a short extension would con-
( meet that line with the Fosston
branch Of the Great Northern, thus
giving the Red river valley q new
and shorter route to Duluth, besides
Z. opening to settlement the .lowerpart
&of Beltra mi county and the Leech
lake district. The idea Of a railroad
connection between Fosston and
Duluth has been often discussed, but
never until now has there been any
thing definite on which to work.
Direct communication across the
broad northern half Of the state
from the Red River valley to Duluth
is perh APPS not far off. It's effect on
Northern Minnesota would be in
calculable, and it would help Duluth
far onward, to the position OF
metropolis OF the state. =, 4. T. :.

surveyors on the new railroad route

s The st. Paul astronomer. :. j.

to the Pioneer Press on the phenom-

tracts are taken:

be visible, in its entirety. through
out North and South America and
over portions OF the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. out to a considerable
distance from the coasts Of these
It will be visible. In
iii Western Europe and Africa

Sat the time of occurrence Of this
phenomenon the moon will be at a
distance of 252,435 miles from the

The moon. moving in q general d.
rection. from right to left, will
plunge into the earth's shadow,
which will first appear as Il dark
notch in the limb, or edge Of the
lunar disc, very nearly ton the ex-
IRENE left-hand point thereof, at
9:59:4 O'Clock. The eclipse then
begins. The shadow will thereafter
appear to move gradually, from
right to left, across the face OF the
moon. owing to the real motion Of
that body, around the earth in the
opposite direction, and at 1l:06-N
