FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Farmer Accidentally Killed BY
Falling in a Well.

Herman Rucktaeschel, residing on
farm about 13 miles west of here,
and little over so years of age, was
fatally injured by falling into we'll
about three o'clock last Saturday af-
ternoon. AS result of injuries re-
ceived by the fall he died about four
o'clock on the following morning.
The deceased, with some relatives,
we're engaged in working in the barn
yard. It was suggested that the
horses had better he watered. On the
suggestion Herman went to the we'll,
which was open, and commenced to
haul up water. He did not get the
first bucket up, when he missed his
footing, slipped and fell, going to the
bottom, a distance of some 20 or 80
feet. The slip and precipitation was
witnessed by some half brothers of
the deceased and they hurried to the
we'll. One of them descended and
found Herman standing in an upright
position at the bottom, with the water
about up to his waist. Herman was
raised to the top with the aid of
rope and carried into the house where
he was rubbed thoroughly and brought
back to consciousness, although it re-
quired some time to accomplish the
latter.
A careful investigation was made to
ascertain whether there were any
bruises on his body or whether any
bones we're broken. None could be
discovered, except very slight scar
on the back of the head. This was
considered trivial and it was presumed
that the injured man would come out
alright. But the scar on the back
was evidently but the outward appear
ance of fatal concussion received in
the descent and this was what pro-
duced death.
The funeral occurred from the
church in Sheridan township yester-
day afternoon,
The deceased was unmarried and
resided with his mother and relatives.
| A sister and half sister are employed
at Hotel Francois.

MRS. EZRA TRUESDELL DEAD.

Mrs. Rachel Mabie Truesdell, wife
of the late Ezra Truesdell, and mother
of the various Truesdells in and around
this city, died at her home on Wash
ington avenue at three o'clock last
Friday morning. Old age was the
principal cause, the deceased being
nearly 80 years old at the time of her
death.
Mrs. Truesdell was up and doing
housework three weeks ago. At that
time she was weakening and slight
cold forced her to take to the bed.
From the bed she never arose and
gradually grew weaker until the end
came last Friday.
The funeral occurred from the resi-
dence at two o'clock last Saturday
afternoon, Rev. John Sinclair of the
Presbyterian church officiating. The
interment occurred in the Redwood
cemetery, and it, as we'll as the funeral,
was attended by a large number of
friends and acquaintances of the fam
lily.
The deceased was born in New
York State. She was married at the
age of 81 to Ezra Truesdell, a late
well-known fellow townsman. The
two resided in Pennsylvania for a
time and then moved west to Ohio
where they resided until 1856, when
they came to Minnesota, settling in
Goodhue county. Here they resided
until 1869 when they came to Red
wood county, settling on the farm one
mile east of the city. They resided
there for number of years after which
they moved into town and resided
where death occurred ever since.
She was the mother of nine boys
and four girls, 13 children in all, of
which nine are still living, FIVE boys
and four girls. While not generally
known, on account Of her preferred re-
tirement, she was warmly attached to
her children and preferred the domes-
tic to the social life.

tread.
To light the day when with this ring thee
When with my goods the endow,
And thou, dear heart, to make my life COM
plete,
Dost give thyself, thy love, gift most sweet.
In thanks to love divine bow
And few minutes after the little
group of near relatives of the bride
and groom had listened to the sweet
notes from the ring book, the first
paragraph of which is given above,
Willis j. Mcdonald of Walnut Grove,
and Miss Belle Stewart, third daughter
of Mrs. Catharine Stewart, we're
standing before Rev. John Sinclair
ready to be pronounced man and wife.
The spectacle last evening at the
old Stewart home, three miles south
west of this city, was beautiful one.
The house was brilliantly illuminated
and those present we're in gay spirits.
At seven o'clock the wedding cere-
mony, which was to make girl that
had been born and raised on that
farm, bride, was pronounced.
The contracting parties mingled
with their relatives until the final hour
had arrived. Then they, hand in
hand, stepped forward to a position in
front of the Presbyterian minister, and
in the most informal manner that
official united their hearts into one.
He spoke but a few minutes on their
new responsibilities, then propounded
the usual questions, after which the
groom produced ring from his pock-
ct, and placing it on the proper finger
of his bride, repeated after the minis
ter "with this ring, I thee do we'd !;
with my goods I thee endow," after
which the minister, with his right
hand resting on the two right hands
of the contracting parties, declared
them man and wife.
The bride wore beautiful wedding
gown of cream albatross, with trim
mings of pearls, chiffon and satin rib
bons, and high collar. She wore a
bouquet of English yiolets on either
shoulder and one at the corsage, while
English violets and smilax adorned
her dark hair. She wore white slip
pers, trimmed with pearls. The groom
wore black frock suit, and the two
made a clever appearing matrimonial
couple.
The marriage certificate presented
to the newly welded couple by the
officiating minister was something
new and novel. It was in the shape
of q book, entitled the "Ring Book," !"
on the various pages Of which we're
scattered verses, neatly illustrated, and

PUT UP NICELY.
Not Over $1,000 Delinquent Per-
sondl Property Taxes.

Personal property taxes have been
paid up remarkably we'll, according to
an examination of the books of the
county treasurer on Tuesday morning.
The total taxes not paid will not
amount to $1,000, and of this amount
there are several sums that will be
paid by lumber yard firms out of town,
whose agents have merely neglected
the payment. Then there are quite a
number of small items that will not be
paid on account of the inability of the
sheriff to make collections, the persons
and property being outside of the
county when the taxes became delin-
quent. There are no towns that have
all of the taxes paid, although Swedes
Forest has only one delinquent and a
number of towns have not over three.
The greatest item is in the city of
Redwood Falls where the total delin-
quents only amount to $201.O1. The
town of Springdale and village of
Walnut Grove we're not complete on
Tuesday morning for the reason that
an agent in Walnut Grove had not
made his return. The total amount
delinquent in each town on Tuesday
morning was as follows:
