John Ekandor Injured.

John Ekander, son of A. J. Exam.
der of this city, met with q painful &C.
cident in Minneapolis recently which
laid him up for q short time. John
is employed in that city at the whole
sale hardware house of the Gregg
Seager Company. He was at work in
the shipping department and was on
q shelf-ladder searching for some
articles. when he lost his balance and
fell q distance of about twenty feet.
The young mans back was badly
sprained by the fall, and he suffered
other Injuries of slight nature. Re.
ports received here by his parents are
to the effect that he was able to return
to work after being laid up for a few
days and it is not thought that serious
consequences will follow. It was at
first feared that he was hurt inter-

Meeting Of Socialists.

The meeting at Bonde Hall, Sunday
afternoon, was we'll attended. J:E.
Nash, socialist candidate for COVER
nor, addressed the audience. At the
close of the meeting several local So
cialists remained and considered the
project of an organization here. A
number sufficient to form local union
pledged their support and several
others are in sight; organization will
be perfected as coon as possible.
There are upto date % local organi-
cations of the party in Minnesota, aud
tho state organization is carrying on
an aggressive campaign, as the party
is likewise doing in all parts of the
country. The coal strike and the
general labor agitation gives the
socialists an especially good oppor-
tunity to propagate their principles.
They have full state ticket In the
field this fall, and expect to poll 1
heavy vote in November, especially ii
the cities, where the trades unions are
giving them good support.

Another New Block.

Before many months roll by the
present site of the old Westberg build
ing which was destroyed by fire will
be occupied by building which will
be in keeping with the many substantial
improvements in our city. AS soon
as certain conditions can be: changed, !,
it is hoped that matters will so adjust
themselves that there will be an &C.
tive beginning of preparations for
the erection of the building early in
the spring. Mr.. Westberg, as soon
as satisfactory arrangements can be
made with another party who is inter-
ested in the ownership of the place,
will proceed to make the necessary
improvements to his Benson avenue
property. Some work has already
been inaugurated in the removal of
the debris.
The location is a most desirable one,
and when a good building is once
erected there will be no lack of ten.

Present Address.

Present Address.
A printer is missing and several
small accounts remain unpaid. At
least that was the situation which pre-
sented itself early in the week when it
was learned that Ed J.. Seymour, who
had been employed here as printer
for some time past, had left the town.
This was not all, but a young wife
was left behind to care for herself the
best, she could. The consolipg mes
sage that she should return to her old
home and forget him was found in a
note which had been left in her apart
ments at the Gustaf Johnson home on
Second street.
The deserted wife sought legal ad-
vice on Monday and warrant for
the arrest of her spouse was sworn
out before Judge Bitterness on the
charge of desertion. It is said that
Seymour left here for the East, and
might possibly have gone to his old
home in Black River Falls, Wis.
The authorities have instructions.
however, to locate him If possible and
he will be- brought back here to answer
to the charge preferred by his wife
and also to face creditors who would
gladly welcome him back.
Mrs. Seymour is q lady whose case
commands much sympathy and her
friends will hope to see justice done
to her. The pair have been married
but q few months. She was able to
secure enough money to enable her to
leave for her home and departed yes.

tho Rod to Him.
A sensational scene was furnished
on the depot platform yesterday after
noon by couple of mattresses at the
Merchants Hotel and colored man
who had been employed there as q
porser, and for time things were
rather lively in that vacinity.
1t all happened just before the train
pulled out for the east, and John
Mahoney, the colored individual, was
unable to take his departure for the
SANITY City. The mattresses who
caused the delay in proceedings were
Myrtle Strand and Essie Oss, who had
q grievance that they started at once
to relieve themselves Of. Ann d with
q stick that would strike terror to the
heart OF any young man and cause
even the bravest to quail, they pounc-
ed upon their victim and administered
blow after blow, giving an exhibition
to the large crowd assembled of their
gymnastic powers. It was all the re-
suit of an alleged theft of some
over eight dollars which the girls
claimed had been committed in their
apartme nts in the hotel.
The interesting proceedings were
interrupted by Policeman Walker of
the Great Northern, who took charge
OF the colored man az d placed him in
the city cooler, where he would be
safe from the wrathy vengeance of
woman. BE was detained there but q
short time, as the women failed to
swear out warrant against him.
Mahoney has been in the city since
the McPhee ccmpany showed here,
having quit his job with them and
taken that of porter at the hotel. He
held the position until short time
ago. He claims that he has q few
grievances of his own which he would
like to bring out, and after being dis
missed from custody yesterday after
noon he proceeded at once to the JUS
tice court and also paid a visit to the
county attorneys Office. Threats are
made which if carried out may involve
q prominent business house and result
in Investigations of a serious nature.
