Word has been received by Will
mar friends that O. J. Paulson is en-
tire]y out of danger, having under
gone a successful operation for ap-
pendicitis at St. Barnabas hospital,
Minneapolis. DR.. J. A. Mclaughlin,
an old friend of the patient, performed
the operation. Mrs. Paulson has
been in constant attendance. The pa

petite and is happy and cheerful.
Co. Auditor johnson has been cor
responding with the secretary of state
in regard to the agricultural statistics
which are required from the different
assessors in making their returns from
the townships which they represent.
Considerable difficulty has been ex-
perienced in getting the proper inform
alton from the farmers, and the gov
ernment is unable to make out a
creditable report. Each assessor is
furnished with blanks for that pur.
pose.
The Litchfield baseball aggregation
defeated our boys last Thursday on

the Litchield battery and received the
usual excellent support from their
men. Figgemier and Bothne were the
battery for Willmar. Litchfeld Sc.

the visitors, while Willmar had six.
Double. plays by Figgemier, Pierce
and Spelliscy were interesting feat

men and Figgemier five.
Last Wednesday while removing a
buggy from it's Grating, C. A. Erick-
son was severely injured in the face.
The springs of the buggy had been
pressed together in Grating, and when
they we're released by Mr.. Erickson,
who thought they we're tied in the
usual manner with wire, they sent a
piece Of wood into his face with
force enough to make him uncon-
scious. He recovered sufficiently in a
few minutes, however, to 20 to q doc
tor, who dressed the wound. The
board hit him across the nose and un-
der the left eye. The injury might have
been worse, although it made an ugly
wound as it was.
A couple of wrecks within the past
week delayed traffic to some extent on
the Sioux Falls line. Yesterdays
trains were delayed several hours on
account of the ditching of work train
near Pipestone The regular passen-
ger train from that direction was
abandoned and train was made up
composed of cabooses and freight cars
that pulled into Willmar about seven
O'Clock in the evening. The east
bound train was obliged to wait here
to make connections and the delay
caused considerable inconveniences to
passengers. A number who had plan
ned to attend the old settlers re-un-
ion at Atwater we're compelled to drive
down by team.
