MEETS DEATH in A WELL.
August Walters, Postmaster At Sweden, Goes
Into Ills Well Sunday to Repair Curb.
lar and Is Overcome by Cas-

August Walters, postmaster at
Sweden, a newly established
postofice west Of Palermo, fell
into a 25 foot well last Sunday
and was killed. He had gone
down to fix the CURLING and the
cross plank on which he stood,
gave away as it was broken at
the middle. His wife went to the
well a few minutes later and
found the body floating on the
surface of the water. She sum-
moned help and the body was
taken from the well. 1t is pre-
sumed that he was overcome by
gas while working in the well.
This is the first death at Sweden
and his body was the first inferred
in the cemetery at Palermo. Rev.
Tonneson preached the funeral
sermon Wednesday. He came
from Ottertail county, Mimi,
and was forty two years old. He
leaves a widow and six chill
dren in good circumstances. He
was the owner OF a fine quarter
of land and had in an excellent
crop this season.
An investigation was made in
the well to determine whether
gas was present or not, and it
was found that the well was full
OF it. Walters had fastened a
rope at the top OF the we'll and
placed his foot around the rope.
When near the bottom he was
overcome by the gas and fell
head first into the we'll. A small
scalp wound was made on the
top of his head.
