many thought Of the alarm of like

This place was suddenly thrown
into gloom on Saturday afternoon by
the accidental death of Filing L.
Olson. Mr.. Olson was engaged in
operating his feed mill just north of
the 500 tracks when he became en-
tangled in the machinery and almost
instantly killed. It seems that they
were just starting up the mill after
dinner and he was endeavoring to
place disengaged belt upon it's pull
ley which was running at very high
rate OF speed, when his arm becam
entangled and he was whirled abo e
the shaft until the mill could be stout
ped, but when it was stopped, hop
ever, it was too late, as his body WV
badly mangled and he lived but as
very short time,. regaining G u
seriousness just long enough to on
farewell to his weeping young wife
who is nearly distracted. The funeral
took place Sunday afternoon and the
high esteem in which the deceased was
held by the citizens Of this place was
clearly manifested by the large con-
course which gathered in the church
to pay their last respects to his re-
mains. The deceased was an honored
member of the Fire Department and
the tiremen attended funeral in a body

English and Scandinavian, dwelling

thus be consulted. Especially is this
the case If particular clock has the
reputation Of being e good timekeeper.

keepers that they viii place clocks in
their stores SO situated as to be easily
seen BY persons who may be passing
along the adjacent sidewalk. If the
clock has good reputation and the

tation placed in the back part Of store

see what time it is, and would be al
most certain to notice anything un'
