Nearly Lost Mis- Hand. .

The first harvesting accident of the
season that has come to our know
ledge occurred last Saturday AFTER
noon on the Pulkrabek farm in the
town of St. Johns. Andrew Nordloef,
who has been employed in this city by
G. A. Erickson and who is out for
the Plano Company, was the unfort-
unate victim. He was starting q
binder in the field of S. F. Bittner, and
while the machine was in motion was
tightening knotter spring. The dis
charge arm caught his wrist, pulling
it down between the brace to the left
and the knotter frame. He held the
alligator wrench in1his hand, which
was pressed so hard against that
member that it cut clear through.
Both jaws firmly clasped over the
second finger. The horses were stop.
ped with some difficulty before he
could be released. He was obliged to
seek surgical aid upon arriving in the
city and DR.. Rains found it necessary
to take eight stitches.

fastest games of ball ever played or

though close score, it is very credit.
able to the home team to wrest victory
from team that had been defeated
only twice in nineteen games, some OF
which had been played with leading
amateur clubs in the cities. Not only
this, but Willmar also played an
errorless game, while their opponents
are credited with four errors.
Both teams showed their capability
OF putting up a good article of ball.
Some splendid fielding was done, es-
pecially by Setterbak of the home
team, who caught three flies for which
he had to make long runs. Pitcher
Brown also distinguished himself in
the same way by catching foul ball.
There were several good features over
which the crowd went wild with enthu-
siasm The on-lookers lost their good
nature, however, when Enos Eppel,
the umpire, made couple of decisions
to which they took exceptions. There
was some division on this point, and
after little wrangling and the SUBJ
stituting of another umpire, the game
went merrily on. Lewis Hanscom was
called upon to officiate in that capacity
and the wrath of the ''mob" was ap-
peased.
The score was as follows:

Some more games will probably be
arranged for later on. 1t was ex-

by recent decision of Judge Powers.
The case is entitled "John Hanson,

at the June term of court and decided
In favor Of the plaintiffs. The defend

PHENOMENAL SWIM.
John Carlson Swims from clenwood to
Starbuek In Approximately Six
Hours.

"John Carlson, better known as
"Skoomy" has the record for long
distance swim on Lake Winnewaska
andincidentally earned Sl5 on Sunday.
He started from the boat landing about
O'Clock q. M, and just six hours
later his tired feet touched bottom at
the starbuck landing. A couple OF
lads accompanied in q rowboat, and
supplied him with a couple of sand
wlches on the way, and party in the
launch overlook him near Rocky
Point, but he did not need any assist
ance, his only rest during the trip be-
Ing that secured by changes of position
in the water. The distance travelled is
estimated being between ten and twelve
miles, and as the worlds record for a
ten mile swim is something over five
hours, Mr.. Carlson has reason to feel
very proud of his achievement. He
has made swims of several miles, but
never so far as on Sunday, and so far
as we can learn he is the first man who
ever swan the length of Lake Mime
waska. he was completely exhausted
when he reached the end of his Jour-
ney, but after good meal and g. few
hours rest was apparently none the
worse for his long swim."
The above is taken from the Glen
wood Press of July 20, and was also
published in the Minneapolis Journal.
John Carlson is Willmar boy, now
employed in Glenwood. He is the son
OF J. P. Carlson, we'll known in this
city, aud has on different occasions
shown his athletic powers.

Fire Results In a Small Loss "a larsoo
Saloon Property on Pacific
Avenue.

Avenue.
Last Friday morning, about 1880,
fire In the Hans L. Larson saloon
building threatened the destruction of
the NARROW House Block. The fire
originated on the east side, to where
it was confined by the fire department.
When discovered it was found to be
burning between the outer and inner
walls on the northeast corner and the
smoke which arose became 80 dense
that it looked as if the entire block
was doomed. The fremen soon got
the fire under control by chopping
openings in the wall 80 as to get
stream through. The apartments over
the saloon building are used for Sleep
ing purposes, in connection with the
adjoining hotel property, and the
northeast corner room is occupied by
Landlord Johnson. This suffered
mostly from the smoke and water and
the furniture was a partial loss.
The origin of the fire is not definite
ly known, but Landlord johnson
states that there were several "hobos"
sitting near the place where the fire
originated during the morning, and it
is probable that one of the crowd had
carelessly thrown a cigar stub there.
This is most plausible, as it is known
that the locality is quite resting
place for the 'weary" traveller. The
saloon on the corner even in these
dry, times has shady reputation
and many were the humorous remarks
when the fire laddies cut the "hole in
the wall' to quench the fiery 1end.
The loss is not a large one, and it
is estimated that $500 will cover it all.
1t is fortunate that the fire did not oc-
cur at night, as in that case the proba-
bilities are that it would have gained
quite start and the sleeping occu-
pants would have been in great dan
ger. The locality has always been
looked upon as firetrap.

At Kerkhoven burglar got in his
work, according to the following from
the Banner:
A burglar entered the home of Gust
Olson about 2:3O o'clock M onday morn
ing and got away with two watches
and between two and three dollars in
money. When going to bed Mr.. Olson
thought it would be too warm to close
the door, so simply closed and hooked
the screens. The burglar effected his
entrance by punching hole in one of
the screen doors through which he in
serted stick and raised the hook. A
light had been left burning in the bed
room in which Mr.. and Mrs. Olson
slept and by the light of this the burg
lar was able to locate the stuff he took.
Mrs. Olson's watch was laying on d
stand and was carried away. Mr..
Olson's clothes were on a chair near
the bed and the thief went through the
pockets, securing between two and
three dollars in money and watch.
Mrs. Olson awoke while the man was
still in their room and made at out
cry. The burglar ran and before the
men folks in the house could take up
the chase had got out of sight. Mrs.
Olson got good view of the man and
describes him as being of medium size
and wore grey hat and light duck
coat. His face was partially con-
cea]ed by q handkerchief he had tied
over it. Mr.. Olson and son BERTHE
searched for the man until the east
bound passenger came and were at the
depot to see that he did not leave on
that No one attempted to board the
train at the depot but after it got down
near the stock yard man, very likely
the thief, ran out and climbed on the
blind baggage. A description of the
man was wired to the officials in SUR
rounding towns but. up to the time of

apprehended. ,...:. ~.

robberies are reported at Brecken-

headquarters for the tough element on
account OF its numerous saloons, some
of which are none too careful in CON-
plying with the law. The Brecken-

robberies,- all committed within a
week:
Two bold daylight robberies we're
committed ia the village last Thurs
day afternoon. The residence of D
W. McNaughton, on Fifth street
north, was broken into and ransacked
from top to bottom and number of
articles stolen. Later in the AFTER
noon A. G. Brockwell's house was
visited. No one was at home at the
time and the thief gained an entrance
by taking off a screen and pryine up
one of the windows. His actions we're
observed by some passers- by who pro-
ceeded to investigate the matter. The
robber was found in G. J. Fishers
barn. When the police arrested him
he was in the act of getting into some
OF Mr.. Brockwell's clothing. Three
revolvers were found in his posses
sion, all loaded, and he was evidently
prepared for every emergency. He
had his hearing before Justice Wells
on Tuesday and was bound over to
the grand jury.

Archie Mcdonald, a laborer, was

mason, and his crew, who are working
on the foundation for the new bank,
heard the row, which took place in a
back room of the saloon, and went to
the rescue. They succeeded in captur-

to the police.
The three men who committed the
robbery had their hearing before JUS
tice Wells this morning at ten o'clock
and were sentenced to thirty, twenty
and ten days respectively, in the coun-
ty jail. This sentence was given them
on the charge of being drunk and dis
orderly there being no other complaint
against them. Just why there was no
attempt to prosecute them for robbery
we do not know, as there was certainly
plenty of evidence to convict them.
