holders of the Sanborn Elevator

In the last issue of the Trumpet
there is an account of the death of
John Gull of Westline, who was one
of the oldest settlers of Westline,
and for many years took an active
part in the movements of that Sec
ton. The Trumpet says: John
Gull Of Westline, Redwood county,
was found dead about 4 miles from
his home, Wednesday morning last
He had brought load of wheat to
Tracy Tuesday afternoon, leaving
town for home at about 5 o'clock in
the evening, and as far as we have
been able to learn was not seen
again until found as above stated.
His team came into the yard of Mr..
John Cain. How he came by his
death is not yet known, but the
general supposition is thatit was by
accident, as he drove a spirited
team, which for some reason became
scared, and ran away, killing him
in some way. We are told that
Mrs. Gull and a son were sick-a-
bed at home, and when Mr.. Gull did
not return at the usual time, were
unable to look for him. The coroner
will hold an inquest to-day. This
is indeed a sad accident and hard
experience for Mrs. Gull and family
IN which she will have the sympathy
of the entire community.
A Marshall special of Dec. 81,
says that during the past month
A, 900 pounds of soft coal has been
stolen from the Great Northern road
yard at this place. The company
has a coal dock here and this is a
coaling station, but the dock is not
used to great extent, most of the
coaling being done from cars in the
yard. From both cars and dock the
company reports continual theft.
Detective M. E. Ryan of the COM
pany has been here for few days
and has rounded up eight victims,
catching them all in the actof pilfer-
ing from the cars in one and two
