Nearly Loses An Eve.

Alfred Gilbertson met with an acci-
dent last Friday morning, while un-
loading freight at the depot, which for
a time threatened the loss of his eve.
He was handling some freight and
dropped the heavily loaded truck
rather suddenly on a number of sur
veying stakes, which had been sent by
the G. N. company to this point
and which were lying about. The truck
struck in such manner as to cause
onesofbhe stakes to- ay up, one. end
striking him squarely in his left eye.
The eye ball was cut and the blood
flowed freely. A large swelling re-
suited. DR.. MacLaughlin was called
upon and gave the sufferer treatment
for the injured member. It was at
first feared that Mr.. Gilbertson would
lose his eyesight, but the patient is
now doing nicely, and is recovering
his sight.

complaining witness, and Chief of Po-
lice Sorenson both appeared in court
to testify. Johnson had been arrested
several days before by the officers for
drunkenness and had "squealed' on
Bon. A bottle OF whisky was alleged
to have been sold to himFriday, Sept.

trict court and bonds for his appear
ance were placed at 5000. The re-

HELD UP on TRAIN.
Ole Anderson. Of Webster, S. D., Re.
=. Iieved Of $40 by Pickpockets.


Ole Anderson, an aged gentleman
whose home is at Webster, S. D., was
the victim of pickpockets last Friday
AFTERNOON. during train time. He had
just arrived from spicer, where he
had been spending a week at the home
of his neice, Mrs. Ole Gusterud, and
was just boarding the Sioux Falls
train for his home when the affair oc-
Cured. AS he was passing through
the coach door, he was met by three
fellows who handled him rather rough
ly, and at the same time extracted the
wallet from his inside vest pocket.
The old gentleman reported the oc.
curence to the conductor and Marshal
Sorenson was notified. Mr.. Ander-
son was unable to give a good de-
scription of the men and the authori-
ties were unable to locate them. He
describes one of them as being rather
tall, while the other two were of medi-
um height. To representative of the
TRIBUNE he stated that the wallet con-
tanned $50 in cash, in three $40 bills,
three receipts from the St. Paul Dis
patch, and number of small papers,
which was all he had in his possession
with the exception of fifty cents aud
railroad ticket to Granite Falls. The
Old gentleman excited the sympathy
OF all to whom he told the story, and
through the kindness Of friends was
given enough to take him to his home
the following day. Nj. T. Sandbo, of
the Minneapolis Restaurant, kindly
loaned the old gentleman SIS.
These hold-ups are getting too fre-
quent at this point, and it behooves
passengers on the trains to keep a |
lookout for all sharpers.

MAIL ROUTE NUMBER Three.
Tho Rural Free Delivery South Of City
Has Been Re-arranred.

A change in the mail routes in the
rural free delivery service south OF
W1llmar Is in contemplation. On
Wednesday and Thursday the special
agent and examiner of mail routes in
this state, Mr.. w. J. Munro, former
~ editor of the Morris Sun, visited
Wlllmar and together with postmaster
Birch made two trips through the
country south of this city. On the
first day they were accompanied by
Hon. A. E. Rice and on the second
day by Mr.. H. P. Eddy. The first
days trip resulted in the following
proposed route: South from Willmar
to Euglund school house, then east to
Swan Ekdahl's, then north to Benet
Monson's, then due east to Chas.
Berg's, then south across Lake Wa
conda, near M. E. church, to school
house in district 80, than east and
south to Herman Johnson's corner,
then west to make the loop around
Lake Fannie, then north to Kleeberg's,
striking Kandiyohi road past Swedish
Lutheran church in Tripolis, then
back to Willmar. This is the route
as originally planned by petitioners
except that part of it from the Eng
lund school house to John Berg's.
The other route proposed, which was
gone over tie second day, is from
Willmar to Svea, where the postoffice
would be furnished with pouch mail,
then return one-half mile north.
then west two miles to J. G. Free
berg's corner, then north one mile.
then west q miles to P. P. Eddy's
corner, then northwest to Willmar.
Both proposed routes will serve
every family in the entire circuit and
the revision which will be recommend
ed by Mr.. Munro will no doubt meet
with geneneral approval. The latter
route will be known as Route 3, and
On Thursday Mr.. Munro examined
'hree applicants for the position of
carrier.
