LEFT HAND BLOWN OFF
Shot Gun ExDIodes and Mains Albert
Christianson For Life.

A distressing accident occurred near
Evan last week, from the effects of
which Albert Christensen, a youth Is
years of age, will be manned for the
rest of his natural days. He was
handling a shot gun and when the
weapon exploded it shattered his right
hand, his injuries being so severe as
to necessitate amputation of the arm
below the elbow.
At the time the gun burst young
Christensen was holding it to his
shoulder in, the position of firing.
With his left hand he supported the
barrel and that member bore the brunt
of the explosion, all the fingers except
the first being blown off, The flesh
upon his wrist and arm was also
mangled fearfully, the bones in the
wrist joint shattered and several
tendlons torn out nearly to the elbow.
Immediately after the accident DR..
Adams of Morgan, was summoned and
that physician succeeded in staunch-
ing the flow of blood, which for time
threatened his life. Friday morning
DR.. Adams brought the patient to St.
Alexander hospital in this city and in
the afternoon Drs. L. A. Fritsche and
j. L. Schoch, after making an exami-
nation, decided that it would be i'm
possible to save the arm.
They amputated about half way up
the forearm and the'patient is now re-
ported as doing very nicely. The
shock to his nervous system was not
as great as would naturally be sup
posed and he is expected to make a
GOOD recovery. v ~ -.

WAITING FOR BIG BOILER.
One to Be Put in At Eagle Mill is
Expected Soon. 49,
Work Men Putting Down Founda.
ton For Huge Smoke Stack
Changes Will Give Plant Capacity
of $500 Barrels Daily.

Upon the arrival of the new boiler,
ordered several months ago and which
is necessary to complete the equipment
of theengine room, the recent additions
to the plant of the Eagle Roller Mill
company will have been finished and
the mill will become one of the largest
Ofits kind in Minnesota and, therefore,
in the Northwest. It Will have capa-
city of $500 barrels of -four daily,
eclipsing by several hundred barrels
the plant of the Sleepy Eye Milling
company and other mills in this vicini-
ty and only being exceeded in size, by
the Touring concerns i'm Minneapolis
and one in Duluth.
Everything about the local mill is
now On an elaborate scale and the
boiler which is expected shortly will
be in keeping with it's surroundings. It
was built at the shops Of S. Freeman
Il Sons, Racine, Wis, will have twice
the power of the boilers now in use and
will be the biggest thing of it's sort in
Southern Minnesota. In preparation
for it's arrival cement foundation has
been put down and it should be in full
working order by July LIST.
Contractor Henry Schapekahm now
has a force of men engaged upon the
! foundation for the new smokes stack, to
be erected south of the boiler room.
From an engineering viewpoint this
| work is interesting. At it's base the
big chimney is to be rs feet square and
to give it the necessary solidity a very
heavy foundations required. This is
obtained by excavating to the lime
rock formation upon which the mill
buildings stand and then sinking two
feet of concrete.
Equal proportions Of P o I'll n d
cement and crushed rock enter into the
comp, s,tion ( + this concrete and it will
be put down in three layers, each s
inches thick. These are laid separately
and allowed to dry, the whole, when it
is completed, practically forming BIZ
stone, 26x26 feet in size and "a inches
in thickness. On top Of this will be the
stone work, and above the water table
! the stack will extend into the air to a
distance of $50 feet.
In connection with the other improve
ments a powerful 'cistern pump was
installed last week. 1t is capable of
furnishing the water suppl " forthe mill
without any difficulty and is now rum
ming.
Little remains to be done to bring
I about the completion of the new mill.
In fact, the greater portion Of the ma
4 chinery has been connected and no at
tempt is being made to operate the old
mill. To do this would tax the pres
] ent boiler capacity and the manage
. ment is unwilling to sacrifice safety
!, for speed. They will, therefore, await
the arrival Of the Racine boiler to eli
inmate the annoyance. 4s8

track and before she fully comprehend
ed what had happened he had been
killed.
Her father, Ernst Sauer, lives east
of the track. When the trim, whistled
his horse became frightened and he
ran from the house to quiet the ami
NAL. He noticed a man on the track
but could not tell whether he stood in
side or outside the rails. The next in
slant Elder was struck down. Mrs.
Sauer heard the engine whistle three
times but did not see the accident.
In their report of the affair Engineer
Peabody and Fireman A. Madden state
that the train was not running at a
speed to exceed twenty miles an hour.
They sounded the whistle three times
at very brief intervals, continuing to
blow it until they passed the spot
where Elder was standing. They can
only account for the accident on the
theory that the strong wind which was
blowing from the south prevented him
from hearing the whistle. He stood
quietly upon the track and made no
effort to move until the engine was
literally upon him.
Johann j. Elder had passed his 57th
year and leaves a widow but no
children. He was a native of Benitz,
Mecklenburg-Schwerin, G ERIN any,
where he was born in 1915, and immi-
grated to America in 1885. Something
over six years ago he came to New
Ulm from Iowa and has since resided
here. He was a member of the Arbeiter
Verein and that society will assist his
widow, who has been left destitute. The
funeral was held at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon from Buenger's undertaking
parlors to the city cemetery.

ARE MAKING GRADE REPAIRS
Chicago &, Northwestern Gravel
- ling Road East Of Here.
Damage Done by Recent Rains Will
Now be Repaired.
RumOr That St. Louis Will Build
Large Retaining Wall.

Considerable damage was done to
the grades and roadbed of the Chicago
& Northwestern railway during the
severe rain storms of last week and
chat company has already commenced
upon the task of making repairs
Saturday a steam shovel was taken
out to the gravel pits near 'Courtland
station and since that time crew of
so Italians have been employed. upon
the work.
Between this place and Mankato ON
the new line there are a. number of
spots which will require their atten-
tion. At one place, where the grade
crosses a sink-hole, the road was all
but washed away and a great many
carloads of sand will be required to
bring it back to its former condition.
Within a week, however, it is expected
that the short line will be in good
shape and then the crew will work
gradually eastward.
Near Waseca, also, there is work
for the gravel crew. Several stretches
of road are not deemed absolutely safe
for travel and these will be put in con-
dition as rapidly as possible. Repairs
will be made by this crew as far east
as Owatonna, but beyond that station
they will be attended to by second.
It is not expected that the work will
consume any great length of time and
in the interval trains will run as
usual.
Last Tuesday night several gentle
men connected with the engineering
department of the Minneapolis & ST..
Louis road arrived in the city from
Minneapolis. They made an examina-
tion of. Fritche's ravine at the point
where the recent land slides occurred
and the following day, after their de-
parture for the south, rumor was
current that the road intended build
ing a huge retaining wall along the
threatened section.
This, however, could not be sub
lstantiated and if the engineers had
planned upon such course they did
not make confident of Station A gent
r. Z. English. When seen by the Re-
view the last named gentleman stated
that he had heard nothing regarding
the matter and seemed disinclined to
regard the report as serious. In spite
Of the enormous expense which would
be attached to work of this character !,
it would seem that the erection of a
wall would be the most simple manner

PIONEER CALLED AWAY
Charles Sommer, Old and Well Known
Citizen, Answers Final Summons.

The fast thinning ranks ofthe pioneer
settlers of New Ulm were further de-
cimated last Thursday morning by the
death of Charles Sommer. His demise
was most unexpected and came as
great shock to the community, few
having been aware of the fact that he
was i'll. In way Mr.. Sommer's last
illness was very brief. While he had
not been in robust health for several
months, he was still able to be about
On the Tuesday evening prior to his
death. That night he complained of
pain and the following morning. when
DIR. Fritsehe was summoned, he pro-
nounced the malady peritonitis- The
attack proved very severey he re-
lapsing into Inconsistencies Wednes-
day morning and so remaining until
the end cas2z
Mr.. SOmmer was a native of Meek
lenburg Sehwerin, Germany, where he
was born March q, 1927. While In his
twenties he immigrated to America and
in 1855 came to New Ulm with the
Chicago colony. From that time until
1868 he teamed between st. Paul and
themilitary posts on the frontier and it
was during this period that he passed
through the Indian massacre. He was
one of those who were present at the
fearful battle of Birch Coolie and his
experiences during the uprising were
varied.
After the hostiles had disappeared in
1868 he formed a partnership with DR..
C. Weschcke in the drug and general
merchandise business, which continued
until 1868. Then, with Chas. Roos,
ST., he bought out a general mer-
ehandise store in the building now oc-
cupied by Hummel Bros. Here he re-
manned until 1889, when he retired from
active pursuits, living quietly in his
home above. the store.
Deceased was married Nov. Is, 1857,
to Miss Elizabeth Graft. His widow
and six children survive, the latte r
being Henry Sommer Of Sioux Falls,
s. D.; Fred. Sommer, ST. Paul. Otto
Sommer, Minneapolis; Mrs. L. c..
johnson, ST. Paul; Mrs. Ed. Hogan,
Minneapolis, and Miss Ida Sommer,
New Ulm. Mr.. Sommer home live was
particularly happy and when the end
came he was surrounded by his entire
| family. ss
Funeral services were held from his
late home at 2 o'clock Saturday after
noon, large numbers of his acquaint-
ances and associates gathering to pay
a last tribute to the memory of the
we'll known citizen. The funeral or alton
was delivered by Capt. Albert Stein
hauser.
