Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1900-08-22

Saturday evening, a few minutes be
fore ten o'clock, the sounding of the
fire alarm called the department to the
alley back of Hanson's bakery, where
fire was discovered in outbuildings and
barn i'm the rear of the Bratfos build
ing. At first it seemed that several
buildings would be destroyed, but by
the timely arrival and work of the fire
department, notably Hose Co. No. /,
who had water playing on the flames
seven minutes after the alarm was
given, a serious fire was sverted. IT S
supposed that a match thrown among
papers started the fire in the outbuild-
ings, and before it was eXtinguished
the rear end of Hanson's Bakery, a
mattress near window i'm Hegner's
furniture store, and the stairs leading
up to the Valdez Business College had
caught afire, but all the fire was speedily
put out. The department, by this one
service, undoubtedly saved for our
people thousands of dollars worth OF
property, and are entitled to great
credit.

KILLED BY VICIOUS BULL
AWFUL DEATH FOR MRS. LANDSRUD
An Angry Bull Attacks Mrs. TOrgei
Landsrud and lnflicts Fatal
Injuries.

News reached Decorah late last
Wednesday night of the death of Mrs.
Torger Landsrud, living a mile west OF
Nordness, which resulted from being
gored and trodden upon by vicious
bull.
A little before seven O'Clock she
went to the pasture to drive up the
cows for milking, and soon afterward
the family heard her crying for help,
and her daughter, with the family
dog, ran to her assistance and succeeded
in driving the animal away from her.
She was carried to the home and Dr.
Barfoot sent for, but upon examination
he found her injured beyond medical
assistance, and she died soon after
ward. 1t was an unusual thing for
her to go for the cows, as the bull was
known to be ugly, and the daughter
had been in the habit of driving them
home with horse, the dog assisting.
The deceased was about 55 years of
age, and was woman highly esteemed
by her acquaintance. The family had
intended to move to Decsrah shortly
and retire from hard labor, but this
sad misfortune casts a gloom over the
household that will never be lifted.

says:
"Six hundred of the best singers
from our public schools represent q
juvenile chorus which threatens to
outshine many an old and well drilled
society. The success of this infant
aggregation is due the class teachers,
who have with infinite care carried
out the rigorous exercise instituted by
Prof. o. Richter. That such a large

Injured in a Runaway.

A lively runaway occurred on the
street Thursday afternoon in which
Ole Eggen, living few miles north of
Decorah, was seriously injured. The
team came up Mill street at a rapid
gait and when near the Lutheran
Publishing House the wagon struck
an approach which overturned il and.
threw Mr.. Eggen out, and he struck
on his head, cutting an ugly gash and
rendering him unconscious. The
team kept on running. taking only
the FROM trucks of the wagon with
them, being stopped near the post
Office. Mr.. Eggen was picked up and
carried into the Ammon-ScOtt Foundry
building, where he regained conscious
ness and his wounds were dressed by
DIR. Stevens, after which he was taken
To the National hotel, and is getting
along now as well as could be expected.

A New Decorah Invention.

For several months past J. ID.
Halves, of the firm of Greer, Halves
q Co., has been perfecting an invention
which may mean much for Decorah's
business interests The invention is
an improved threshing machine, con-
sistiDg of new parts for the separation
of the straw and chaff from the grain,
and the result, now that the machine
has been given thorough trial in the
field, is highly satisfactory and even
beyond expectations. Samples of
timothy and fax seed which we were
shown are exceptionally clear of chaff
and impurities, and is pronounced by
experts ahead of any threshing ever
attempted in point of cleanliness and
purity. Another feature of the new
thresher is that one-fourth less power
is necessary To run this machine than
the other, and it is several hundred
pounds lighter than the machines now
on the market. The thresher is at
present at work in the north part of
the county, and it is readily admitted
by all who have seen it to be great
improvement over all other makes.
There seems to be no question but that
it greatly excels all present machines
in use, and it will no doubt meet with
a ready sale if put upon the market.
Mr.. Hawes has filed an application for
a patent, and it is possible that plant
for the manufacture of the machines
may be established in Decorah. The
work of constructing the first machine
was done by w. c. Meyrick.

Let's All Go 10 Ossian.

1t is pretty generally known by this
time that Ossian will have grand
street fair next Friday and Saturday.
A good program of amusements has
been prepared, and it is expected that
a large crowd viii be in attendance.
The good people of our neghboring
town have been working hard for
several weeks to make this event a
great success, and crowd now seems
to be the only requisite to make it so.
The Burlington will run excursions
over and back from Decorah to accom-
modate those who wish to go. Let's
swell the crowd by large attendance
from Decorah.
