Wants Ton Miles OF Road.

Algona, April 25.-For some time past
rumors have been pretty thick to the
effect that the Northwestern road had
purchased the ten miles of Omaha road
between Blue Earth and Gilmore, and
that the division at the latter place was
to be moved. The Blue Earth Post says
it now seems. from pretty we'll founded
irumor, that the Northwestern is deter
mined to get this ten miles of road iii
order 10 make Blue Earth division
point. An employe of the road who,
from his position probably knows what
he is talking about. was in own Satur-
day and while there said that the rumor
that the Northwestern had purchased
this ten miles of road from the Omaha
was not true, 1t having been Impossible
for them up to the present time to
make, the purchase. He further said,
however, that the Northwestern was
determined to make Blue Earth a divi-
sion point. and If they could not pur-
chase from the Omaha they would build
from Waseca to Blue Earth and then
parallel the Omaha from there to Ell
more. From this it would seem that the
various rumors which have been cirou-
lated in the past to the effect that Blue
Earth was to become division point
have more than rumor in than.

Accident - Mettlcsome Team tho


Fort Dodge, April 25.-Mr. Kicnast,
living on Prospect Hill, was painfully
and seriously injured by an accident
Tuesday evening. MIR. Kienast had been
blowing for Ernst Kirchoff, farmer
living about half mile east of the city.
and at O'clock stopped work and
started home. He had a team of Young
and spirited horses, and as he was
passing thru a high wire gate which
leads into the road from the Kirchoff
property, he stepped in front of his
horses and held them with one hand
while he opened the gate with the other.
The horses became frightened at some
peculiar noise made by the gate. and
reared, throwing Mr.. Kienast down and
passing over his PROSTATE body, which
was caught under the Splow and drag;
gedI for over fifty feet.
Parties who saw the accident hast
ene0 to the spot and found Mr.. Kienast
insensible Mr.. kirchoff brought the in
jured man to his home on Prospect Hill,
and medical aid was summoned The
doctor on arriving found that k:enast
had sustained a severe bruise over the
Left eye and that his right les
tally paralyzed from the violence with
which he had been dragged along the
ground The paralysis partially de-
parted however, and the Injured man
was able to move his leg this morning
The most serious injuries were the
bruises which Kienast received in the
muscles of the legs. which were exceed
ingly severe and which were pro-
nounced by the attending physician to
be really worse than fracture.

Anton Rank, OF Fort Dodge. Has
Narrow Escape From Death.
Fort Dodge, April 25.-Anton Rank
and family are recovering from an ex-
iceedingly unpleasant experience with a
fresh lobster. which for a time threat
iened to cause serious results On Mon
day evening Mr.. Rank bought lobster
and took it home with him for supper
and at the evening meal partook quite
heartily of the appetizing dish. Mrs.
Rank also ate some of the lobster, as did
the children, altho not in such great
quantities as Mr.. Rank.
Shortly afterwards the children were
taken exceedingly sick and suffered
greatly for some time Mrs. Rank also
became sick and was confined to her
home all day Tuesday, and yesterday
morning a physician was called to at
tend Mr. Rank, who was found suffer-
ing from a very severe hemorrhage of
the bowels and in quite serious condi-
ton The prompt administering of the
needed remedies relieved the sufferer,
who is rapidly recovering.
In the mind of the physician who at
tended the case. there is no doubt that
the sickness of the family 10 due to some
poisonous substance contained In the
lobster itself. The symptoms OF the
sickness are similar to those of pto-
maine poisoning. but 1t is not thought
that this supposi,ion Is correct. be-
cause the lobster was fresh one. There
appears to be no doubt, however. that
the sickness was caused by poisoning,
and that the poison was contained in
