AN ACCIDENT.
Robt. Schroeder Shoots Himself
While Hunting.
Falls Down on His Gun and Charge of
Shot Enters His Body Under
the Heart.

What may prove to be fatal &C.
cident occurred two and half miles
from St. Clair at one o'clock Wed
nesday. Rob Schroeder, the nine
teen year old son of Mrs. Chas.
Schroeder, who is widow lady, was
hunting near his mothers house, In
some manner, he slipped and fell, and
the gun was accidentally discharged.
A charge of shot entered the boys
body a little below the heart.
A neighbor was going by and
witnessed the accident. He ran to
the boys assistance, and carried him
home. DR.. Smith was sent for at st.
Clair, and had not returned from the
boys home at the time that our in
formation was received. 1t is not
known just how serious the accident
is, but the boy was living at last &C
counts. If the charge of shot entered
his body as reported, it does not seem
possible that he can recover.
The injured lad has a brother at
Minnesota Lake, who was notified by
telephone of the accident. The &C
cident has caused much sorrow at St.
Clair and among all those who are
acquainted with the family.

ONLY TWO CASES.
The Grand Jury Will Have Little to do
Next Week.

The February term of the district
court convenes next Tuesday, There
will be the usual number of civil cases,
among which will be twenty or thirty
new cases. Clerk of Court Thorne
will have the calendar ready for the
printer tomorrow, today being the
last day for the filing of notes of is
sue. There are six criminal cases on
the calendar coming over from the
November term, none of them being
important.
The grand jury will meet Tuesday,
and will have very little business be-
fore it. Only two cases are known to
be sure to come up. Joseph Heller has
been bound over on the chaI.'c sell
ing liquor without licensc q Madi-
son Lake, and Fred Manthy has been
bound over on the charge Of grand lar.
ceRy in the second degree.
The last grand jury raised good
deal of smoke through the indictment
of several women on the charge of
conducting houses of i'll fame. In re-
ply to question as to whether this
line of work will be taken up by the
jury next week, County Attorney
Hughes stated today that he did not
know what the jury would do in this
matter.
Judge Severance gave sufficient
warning at the November term that
he would sentence to states prison
any persons who might hereafter be
convicted of this offense. There is an
Indictment hanging over Mrs. Amelia
Stage from the last term, but whether
this will be proceeded under is ques-
tion for the county attorney to decide.

ester: Rev. Mr.. Foote, of Madelia;
Rev. Mr.. Quigley, OF Lake Crystal;
Rev. Mr.. Perry, Of Gilmore; Elder

pressive, and told of the good work
done by the deceased in his ministry.
DR.. G. E. Line read touching letter
from Dr.. f. M. Rule, of Faribault,
who was unable to be present. DR..
Line spoke of Elder Hairs life and
good deeds. Rev. Mr.. Parry offered
prayer.
The remains were held at the
church fifteen minutes after the con-
clusion of the services, to await the
arrival of the son from Belle Touche,
S. D, the other son having already
arrived. The meeting between mother
and son occurred in the church and
was very affecting.
The pail bearers were Perry Wy
song, o. Nicholson, H. L. McCollum.
Hugh McMurtrie, w. N. Plymat. and
o. Odjard. The Masonic lodge took
charge of the BODY and escorted it to
Glenwood cemetery, where the burial

impressive that has been held in the

was among the visiting ministers
present.

THE CAUSE UNKNOWN.
A Small Blaze at the MankatO Knitting
Mill.

There was an incipient blaze at the
Knitting mill Saturday afternoon, but
fortunately no damage was done by
fire. The blaze occurred in the card
room, between what is known as the
first breaker cards. The boy who was
attending the cards. and the forman
at the same time saw the flash, and
in no time it had run through all the
cards. A barrel of water was stand
ing near, and few pail's full were
poured on the flames and extinguish-
ed it. While no damage was done by
fire, it is feared that the water may
have damaged the machinery some
what by causing rust.
flow the fire started is a mystery.
1t is not thought possible that it
could have been caused by spontan-
eous combustion. One theory is that
match may have accidently gone
through the cards. Another is that
spark of electricity may have ig-
nited the dry material. The foreman
states that he has witnessed similar
fires before on three different occa.
sions in other mills.
