saw for the purpose of saving
apile of wood for o. J. Richard
son, the present renter of the
farm, and after getting the ma
chine in position had but fairly
commenced work when, with.
out the least warning,the huge
iron balance wheel broke into
a dozen pieces. Benz. Water
house was on top of the power
driving the four teams engaged
in furnishing power,and facing
the saw. A piece of the flying
wheel struck the unfortunate
man nearly between the eyes,
tearing away the upper part of
his skull scattering his brains
right and. left. The lifeless
body toppled over backwards
to the ground and the life light
of Renj. Waterhouse had gone
forever. AS soon as the excited
horses could be stopped will
ing hands lifted the lifeless re-
mains from nearly beneath the
horses feet and tenderly con-
veyed them to the family home
a half-mile south. DR.. Reid
was summoned but his services
were not needed other than to
make the wound appear less
ghastly.
residenter in these parts, hav-
ing resided here for the past
fifteen years and was hard
working farmer. He leaves
widow and four children as fol-
lows: James, Albert, Julia and
Ella, all of whom were nearly
grief stricken.
Employed about the machine
were J. o. Richardson and two
men from near Hewitt and how
all escaped njury, besides the
dead man is a mystery. The
piece of iron that killed Water
house struck the roof of the
house about four feet down
from the weather strip with
such force as togo through the
side next to the saw and on
through the east side of the
roof, and up to this time has
not been found although search
has been made by several par
ties. Another piece went the
opposite direction and crashed
through two sides of a barn
built of inch oak boards, and it
too has not been located. Still
another piece went into the air
and in coming down struck on
top of the buggy shed and cut
through two inches of oak
boards. Not enough of the
wheel was left on the hub to
indicate that there had ever
been any wheel. The machine
has been in use since 1892 and
this has been the first break,
which indeed was serious
one.
The funeral services were
conducted at the residence
south of the city yesterday af-
ternoon and a large gathering
was present to listen to the last
sad rites performed by Rev.
Manly.

PETTY TH1EvERY.

A Lot Of it Going on in Wahpeton
Number Of Arrests Made.
There seems to be a gang of
petty thieves about the city to
the number of half a dozen,
more or less. Thursday night
some one or more stole four
turkeys out of the barn at the
Wahpeton House and sold
them to the butchers. Friday
night, one or more broke open
the back window of Jurgens &
Formaneck's store and stole a
few dollars in money and had
a satchel loaded with shirts
which were left in the store,
evidently having been frighten-
ed away in such a manner as
forced them to leave the goods;
and while it is not known what
all was taken away from this
store, nothing except the cash
was missed.
At about four a. m, Saturday,
Patrolman Donovan found the
broken window in the rear
of the above store, tried the
back door and found it locked.
And not thinking that any per-
son was in the store at that
time, set out to find Patrolman
Broderick that he might help
look after any persons seen out
at that time of night and to do
this went to the opera house
corner, and, blowing his whistle
twice, returned to the store to
find that the back door was
open, which he had left a mo-
nent before, closed. Then he
was sorry that he had not stood
right at the window and sound
ed his whistle,for the thief had
noticed him come up and 20
away and then evidently "dug
out"
Donovan and Broderick,h how
ever, set out to round up the
thief and succeeded in their
judgment,and put Chris Braun
under arrest, who was subsequ-
emily released for what was
thought the want of sufficient
evidence.
The officers kept an eye on
Chris and he stayed about town
through Monday but did not
show up Tuesday. Then they
set out to learn something of
his whereabouts and learned
that he had left Breckenridge
Monday night with two satch-
els loaded. Chief GILES then
worked the telegraph and
found him at Morris in the
clothing business. Policeman
Broderick was sent after him
and found he had clothing out
of Jurgens & Formaneck's
place. Will soon have an ex-
animation and it is thought
trial at once, court being in
session.
Saturday the policemen had
Vim. .Brommand and a chimney
sweep, Jacob Ressler, arrested
for stealing turkeys, but being
unable to convict them, though
quite sure they were the ones
in the theft, released them and
ordered them out of town.
The police are doing what
they can to round up the sew
eral toughs now under surveil-
lance and will surely get more
of them soon and possibly
break up the gang.

The Times is the best paper.
1T uses the best type, the best
subject matter and is the best

Anton Wohlwend a leading
farmer near Lidgerwood, in the
city on land business, dropped
in this morning and left a fine
sample of "long green" with
The Times.
Ole and Carl Tronsgard of
Homestead, in the city Mon
day, paid The Times a a'pleasant
call and. left a few cartwheels.
They do the land business at
Homestead, this county. See

DIR. Quick met with an un-
expected accident early this
week. While driving toward
town a mile or two west, his
horse slipped on some ice and
fell, breaking one of the poor
animals legs. The doctor

the owner-Mr. Partridge, who
sent a man out and killed the
animal.
III. L. Schultz sold ~ head of
young stock to Cowan Bros. of

to demand big price for their
young stock. Why cannot men
here hold and feed young stock
and get the benefit as we'll as
South Dakota people. These
men from South Dakota buy
the stock to feed for season
or two and then market them
at good profit. A bunch of
three or four year olds fed up
in proper shape is the easiest
money any farmer ever made.

GovERN0R-ELE0T >G0EBEL
Shot Down by the Taylor Gang of
Ruffans in Kentucky,

Shot Down by the Taylor Gang Of
Rufians in Kentucky.
The Taylor gang of Republi-
can outlaws in Kentucky have
murdered VIM. Goebel the
Democratic contestant for the
governorship of that state.
When a partisan returning
board counted out Mr.. Goebel
after an honorable election,
there having been three candi-
dates in the field-one Repub-
lican and two Democrats, he
did not resort to loud talk but
quietly turned to the legisla-
ture and asked it to vindicate
public justice, and the latter
about ready to vote Mr.. Goebel
into the executive Office, not
withstanding Taylor had been
fraudently installed, a Taylor
partisan deliberately shoots
Mr.. Goebel from window
of the capital as he enters
the state house grounds,
accompanied by two friends,
particulars of which appear
elsewhere i'll this paper.
This is clearly a premeditated
inurderous assault blameable
directly to the high-handed
proceedings of the Taylor mob
I. who have been lying around
the capitol buildi, 6 for weeks,
pending the extraordinary de-
termination and efforts to
coerce the people of that state
into submission to Republican
domination. Taplor was not
satisfied to have federal troops
over running the capital city,
but he must have mob of 40
or 80 armed ruffians lying
around, sleeping about the
capitol building and eating
elsewhere, to do any dastardly
deed which the devil himself
might dictate through domi-
neering lawless Republican,
ism, and now the whole batch
of cowardly outlaws and ruff
fans throw up their hands in
holy? horror7 and declare that
they don't know who did it.
The American people will hold
Taylor and his gang account
able for it. ......
1t is hoped by all decent
people that the despicable cur
and cowardly murderer and
partisan to Republican lawless-
ness may he caught and suffer
his neck wrung. And it is
hoped that the Legislature will
straighten out as far as possible
this unseemly election muddle
and attempt at Republican
usurpation, and clean out the
last vistage of this Taylorism,
Hannaism and Republicanism,
which means rule or ruin
whenever allowed to dominate.

SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.
Three Boys Go Through Ice at Hudson. Mass
But Two Rescued.

Hudson Mass, March 4.-Hugh REAR
don, the 7-year-old son of George Rear
don of River street, was, TINS AFTER
noon, the victim of drowning accl-
dent that has caused universal sorrow
throughout the town. About o'clock,
the boy. with his brother Herbert, )
years old, and his cousin Eddie, aged
years, son of Daniel. Reardon, were
returning from Sunday school and
thinking to shorten the distance 10
their homes, started to cross the ASA
bet river on the ice.
When about five rods from the shore
the ice broke and all three lads were
precipitated into the water. Their
cries attracted George Wright, en-
ployed by DIR. Cochrane, who lived
near by, and who went to their as
sistance and managed to keep Eddie
and Herbert above water until Dr.
Cochrane had tied a rope around Ed
dies body and pulled him ashore.
A Mr.. Day. who had also been at
tracted to the scene, secured a boat
and went to Mr.. Wright's assistance
and pulled Herbert into the boat in an
unconscious condition. Mr.. Wright was
so exhausted by his work in the icy
water that he tainted as soon as he
had been hauled into the boat. 1t was
impossible to reach Hugh in time to
save his life and his body was carried
down over the dam.
