We learn now that Mr.. Larson was
acting under the advice of an attorney
in making his settlement with the
railroad company and was informed
that he had no cause of action against
them.
Since his terrible injuries Larson
has spent some years in school and
for the past year has been engaged in
the real estate business at Heron
Lake. He has plenty of time to look
up and inform himself of his claims
against the company, and, with an
able advocate as Mr.. Pierce for an at
torney, he is now in a position to force
the railway company to do him justice

case will be of pretty general interest.

Larson was so shattered in body, and

looking up witnesses in the case.

LARSON GOES TO LAW.
The c. & N. w. n.y., Asked to Pay
$4,000.
From the Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

From the Sleepy Eye Dispatch.
Last week Attorney Pierce of St.
Paul, acting for Lars P. Larson of
. Heron Lake, formerly of Sleepy Eye,
served papers on the Chicago &
Northwestern railway company de-
handing damages in the sum Of
$4,000 for personal injuries received
by his client at Golden on December
9th, 1892, and the case will probe bly,
come on for trial at the next term of
court. The incident out of which the
suits grows was as follows, as detailed
in the Dispatch for the week of Dec
ember q, 1892:
"While attempting to help his
friend Nels Larson off on the pas
senger train at Golden, l 80 o'clock
Tuesday, Lars Peter Larson, boy
about II years of age, was struck by
the rear platform of the sleeper and
thrown under the wheels, resulting in
injuries which necessitated amputa
ton of his left arm near the shoulder
and his left foot at the instep. It
seemed that the boys tagged the
train, but instead of stopping at the
platform the train rain some distance
past and then commenced backing up.
The boys started down the track, not
noticing that the train was backing
up and Lars Peters was struck, with
the result as stated. The injured boy
was brought to this place by the train
men and carried to the Commercial
where DR.. Marcellus and Stricken
took care of him. The poor boy is
entirely alone in this part of the
country, his parents residing in Den
mark, and, being without means, it
will be the duty of our benevolent
minded people to see that he wants
for nothing. At present he is being
cared for by the railroad company who
have nurse with him all the time"
Notwithstanding his terrible injuries
young Larson was kept alive and
eventually regained his health in a
measure, but while he was still on a
bed of pain. suffering from injuries
that robbed him of two-thirds of his
chances Of earning living, less than
q month after he was hurt the Rail-
road Company secured release of
their liability by paying Larson $3.50
and all expenses. After this settle
ment we talked with Larson and
found him very much discouraged
with his prospects and very much dis
satisfied with. the small sum of money
paid him by the company. Regard
ing the matter the Dispatch of Feb.
I'd, 1893, says:
"The railway claim agent was here
one day last week and secured re-
lease from Lars Peter Larson, the
young man who was so badly cut by
the cars at Golden during the holidays,

HAD CAUSE TO BE THANKFUL
That Thanksgiving This Year Was
Unlike That of 1896.

Thanksgiving day of 1897 was not a
bright day, AUTOMATICALLY, although
the sun did come out a few minutes in
the morning to show that his face, too
was smiling at the abundance visited
upon all during the preceding twelve
months. But his smiles were of short
duration for the people of this vicinity.
The true thankful spirit, however,
turned, consciously or unconsciously
to last Thanksgiving day, when the
president and the weather bureau were
hopelessly at outs. On that oc-
casion, from midnight or Whereabouts.
in the night between Tuesday and
Wednesday, until late in the day of
Thursday, it rained, almost continuous
ly. Thanksgiving night the storm
changed to snow, and by nightfall the
railroads in this vicinity were all
handicapped seriously, and several of
them were absolutely blockaded.
The light, apologetic furry which
prevailed during the day yesterday,
only daring to initiate a buster after
and concert-goers, with the merry
FOUNDERS, remained without, was
scarcely, when compared with the
storm of Thanksgiving, 1896 as the
breeze of a palm leaf fan with the
broad democracy of an April gale
SO by comparison, at least, Thanks
giving day of 1897 had it's distinctive
features. entirely in keeping with the
symbolism it was designed to continue.
If all could have been fOreseen, per
haps, better weather conditions might
have been selected, but the weather
yesterday was in that happy mean
which was not severe enough to deter
any one who wished from attending
the services Of praise and gratitude,
While it was just wintry enough to give
the willful absentee a welcome excuse.
But. be it said to the credit of the
people of st. Paul, in spite of the
weather, the people generally thronged
the centralized meetings which were
held in the churches in honor of the
day which has been set aside by a gov
ernmental decree that came straight
from the devout hearts of the people
as the day Of national thanksgiving.
The less solemn observances of the
day did not suffer. The theaters were
literally packed, and the customary
modes of conveyance were taxed to
the utmost to accommodate the multi
tudes of those who took advantage of
the social holiday to exchange social
courtesies, especially to attend the
family reunions which were as usual
the feature of the festivities.
There were few in the hotels, in spite
of the fine banquets the Bonifaces pro-
vided for their guests. Those who had
friends in the city had generally ac-
copied invitations to dine, and the re-
ports from the depot show that the
Thanksgiving travel this year was
even lighter than usual.
