A Curlous Accident.

Last Monday Express Messenger

fatal accident at Benson. In fact, it
was q miracle that it wasn't. When
he opened his iron safe to place q
package therein in some manner be
pushed 1t against his revolver In such
q way that it went of, the bullet pas.
sing through his upper lip and teeth
and dropping in the mouth. It seems
impossible that the force of the bullet
could be stopped by the mans teeth
enough 80 that after passing through
them It would drop in the mouth. The
only way it can be accounted for is
that the bullet struck the iron side of
the safe, thus spending its force, and
then glanced OF and hit Mr.. Gilman
with the above result s Report hos 1t
that Mr.. Gilman will not be, laid up
more than a few days and be none the

One family, among many, in Will
mar will especially be pleased when
the saloons close next Monday night
to open no more it Is hoped by per.
mission Of tho voters OF Willmar.
Last Thursday was pay day, and the
husband did not come home at night.
Towards morning the wife became
greatly alarmed and sent neighbors to
search for the missing man but no
trace could be found of him. On Fri
day the search was renewed but with
no SUCCESS until in the evening when
he was found in the back room of q
saloon sd}l in . stupor, with most OF
his months wages and q valuable
watch stolen from him. His wife
would not consent to make complaint
against the saloonkeeper, fearful that
her husband might lose his job. She
will, however, cordially enjoy to see
the mask OF responsibility torn of
from the nefarious business.

DEATH At. DIAMOND LAKE.
Mrs. Agnes Swan Passes Away to He
Eternal Reward 0ondav.

1t becomes Our sad duty this week
to record the death of Mrs. Agnes
Swan, wife of Mr.. John Swan of Dia-
mond Lake. Deceased had for several
months been suffering from lung
trouble, and her life's strength slowly
ebbed away, until the angel of death
came to relieve her of all earthly SUI
fering. The end came at two O'Clock
Monday morning, at her childhood
home on the banks of Diamond Lake.
Agnes TAFT was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John TAFT of Diamond Lake.
She was born at that place March 10,
1850. At the age of 21 she was mar
ried to John Swan of town of Harri-
son. She leaves to mourn her de-
parture her husband, two daughters
Alice, aged 20, and Janet, aged 1s
years; her aged parents; three sisters
Mrs. j. H.'Parsons of Irving, Mrs.
Henry johnson of Diamond Lake, and
Miss Rose TAFT; three brothers.
James, John, Jr., and Thomas TAFT.
Besides these large circle of other
relatives and host of friends Join
with the immediate family in their
sorrow.
The funeral occurred Tuesday AFTER
noon at the home of her parents. Ser
vices were conducted by Revs. Daven-
port and White. The former preached
an impressive funeral service, taking
for his texts the following passages:
'If man die, shall he live again?
All the days of my appointed time will
l wait till my change come. Job
l4:l4. Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection and the life; he that be-
lieveth in me, though he were dead:
yet shall he live. St. John 1925.
Gospel hymn No. 275 was sung, &C
cording to request madejby deceased
during her final illness. The body
was laid at rest in Oakside cemetery
in Harrison.
She was followed to her final rest
Ing place Oy tne largest funeral pro-
cession ever seen in that vicinity,
there being eighty teams in the COR
tege. Messrs. Peter Henderson, Erick
Engvall, And. Nelson, John Moerd,
John Dalziel and Frank Harris acted
as pallbearers.
Thus ends as far as this world is
concerned, the life story of a good
woman, a kind and devoted wife and
mother, an earnest and devout christ
ian. For such death has no terrors:
it is only the door to the real life.
Though her life's span fell short of
the allotted time, it far outweighed in
usefulness the longest life spent in
selfish aims, and leaves an influence
behind that will not die.
