Lost Ms Hand.

Soren Larson, q laborer at the
Great Northern coal chute, met with
an accident last Friday which resulted
in the losing of his right hand. While
in the performance of his duties, the
coal car, which was being pushed by
q fellow employee, passed over his
hand, crushing that member so badly
that an amputation was found neces-
sary. The unfortunate man was taken
to his home in the Fourth ward, on
South Second street, and DR.. Mac
Laughlin, the company surgeon, per-
formed an amputation below the wrist
which will deprive Larson OF his entire
hand except the thumb.
Mr.. Larson is married man with
family of children dependent upon him
for support, and the unfortunate At
fair Is greatly to be regretted.

Killed by a Snow Plow.

Shortly before noon last Saturday
as Jorgen Korstad, the section boss
who comes west from DeGraff, and
his man, Chas. Boyle, were pushing
their hand car this way in the cut two
miles east of here, snow pillow and
caboose came up behind them and be-
fore they knew it it was right upon
them. korstad saw it, jumped and
called to Boyle, but if he heard he
made no sign and the pillow struck him
and it is a question if he ever knew
what hurt him. The wind was blowing
they had their backs to the pillow and
no whistle was blown and it is doubt
full iftthe engineer knew anyone was
in the cut until he hit the handcar,
which was broken to pieces. Boyle's
legs were broken and his head badly
cut and death was instantaneous. The
body wasLbrought to town and at
once taken to Hollands mOrgue.
Boyle lived in DeGraff, was about IS
years old and leaves widow and five
children. This is the second man to
be killed by.a snow pillow at that place.

The New Coast Iralna.

The new transcontinental trains are
proving popular with the travelling
public, and Willmar business men es-
pecially, among the travellers from
this point, find them very convenient.
The east-bound train for St. Paul is
generally boarded by those wishing to
make flying trip to the cities, as
there are no stops at the stations east
Of this city.
When the Puget Sound express made
its first trip, last Sunday night, people
we're out in large numbers all along the
line to see the first transcontinental
train over Thu division, and Willmar
had large delegation at the depot.
Among the unique features of the
new trains are the extreme length and
capacity of the coaches. They are
over eighty feet long and their seating
capacity is eighty-6ve people.
