urday for Minneapolis in order to be

gical treatment at that place. They

The elevator belonging to the Far.
mers Grain Company came near being
wrecked last week. The weight of
the large amount of grain which it
contained caused several braces and
rods to give way and had it not been
for some props which had been put
up on the outside the entire south
side would have given way, thereby
letting the wheat out on the ground.
They are shipping the grain out as
fast as they can get the cars and ex-
pect to get the house repaired and be
ready to buy grain again in few
days.

A gun in the hands of George Hol-
comb came near ending the life of
his fifteen year old stepson Sunday
last. The parties were hunting at
Spirit lake and the boy was walking
in the path ahead of Holcomb, who
was using repeating shotgun. He
had discharged the gun and was re-
loading it when it was once more dis
charged, taking effect in the boys
left shoulder. The shot tore the flesh
from the shoulder and broke several
pieces from the shoulder blade and
collar bone, although not breaking
the bone entirely. The lad was
brought to town and the wound was
cleaned and dressed by Doctors Clark
and Coulter. The boy is at the home
Of Mrs. Mary Bennett and is doing as
nicely as possible. Whether he will
fully recover the use OF his shoulder
and arm cannot be stated at this
time.
