Fireman Lorentzen Injured,

Chris. Lorenlzen, fireman on the
Sioux City train, met with an accident
last Monday afternoon that will lay
him up at least for some time. When
the train had arrived here he and en-
gineer Kelley proceeded to take the
engine to the rouadhouse. A little
ways east of the depot Lorentzen left
the engine to throw q switch and in
so doing he stepped on q loose wheel
cover and slipped with the result that
his loft foot was caught between the
plane of the truck wheel and the pilot
brace. The unfortunate man shouted
to brakeman on the other side OF
the engine to motion Kelley to STOP
and reverse the engine and this was
done. 1t was found that there was q
deep cash cut in the foot, and the leg
was also somewhat bruised. The in.
jured man was taken to Carlson Bros.
drug store and afterwards to the hos
pital where his injuries were attended
by Drs. Frost, after which he was re-
moved to his home in the First ward
At present the patient Ia dong nicely
but the wound is of such q nature tha
it will take some time to heal.

Birthday Anniversary Surprise.

A pleasant surprise was sprung on
Hon. N. o. Nelson last Monday even
ing, the occasion being his fftieth
birthday anniversary. About 100 peo-
pie, most of them from this city but
also including number of his old
neighbors in Whiteield, gathered at
the residence of o. Kjos. Shortly af-
ter 8 O'Clock they made a Japanese
movement, and soon had the Nelson
residence surrounded. Mr.. Nelson
did not try to do the Stoessel act of
stubborn resistance, but speedily
capitulated and the crowd took COM
plete possession of the spacious house.
Mr.. Nelson was placed in captivity
and seated on q chair in the parlor,
after which Rev. G. Peterson made
an address, explaining the purpose OF
the gathering. At the close of his
speech he delivered to Mr.. Nelson q
gold watch chain and charm and an
envelope containing some free silver.
He also informed him that fine cane
would be added to the presents as
soon as the evening train arrived.
Gov. Rice and A. o. Forsberg also
made short speeches, after which Mr..
Nelson thanked the gathering for this
mark of their friendship. The tables
were then set and loaded with delica-
cies brought by the ladies, and all en-.
joyed good feast. About midnigh,
the invaders began their retreat.

May Have Gymnasium.

A movement has been started in
this city having for it's object the
establishing of gymnasium. A COM
mittee has issued call to all inter-
ested to meet at the engine house on
Friday evening to discuss the ad-
visibility of such an undertaking.
Most cities of Willmar's size have a
gymnasium and we see no reason why
we should not be able to have one
also. It is all a question of zeal and
push and with the proper management
such an institution would be sure to
find favor with the younger element
in this city.

NeIson.Tait Nuptials.

Yesterday afternoon, at 200 p. M,
Thomas T. Nelson, of this place, and
Miss Rose TAFT, of Diamond Lake,
were quietly married at the residence
of T. F. Downs in Willmar.
Only a very few intimate friends
were present at the ceremony, Rev.
J. S. Phillips, former pastor at At
water and Diamond Lake, but now of
Wheaton, Minn., officiated. Thomas
TAFT was groomsman and Cyrilla Par
sons was bridesmaid.
The groom is q ute we'll known here,
having lived in this vicinity the most
of the time for the past twelve years,
and he has won many friends by his
upright character.
The bride is the youngest daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. John TAFT, who were
among the first settlers of Kandiyohi
county and have resided since the
early days on the shores of Diamond
Lake. Miss TAFT has a place in the
affections OF all who know her, such
as but few women attain, and her
pure womanhood has wrought an in
fluence for good more far reaching
than she herself can dream. She will
be sorely missed by the neighborhood,
which has grown to depend upon her,
but each and all unite in wishing her
happiness in the broader sphere which
she now enters.
Mr.. Nelson has bought q farm q
short distance north of Spicer and
will bring his bride here about Nov.

Foot Ball Next.

Willmar will be represented on the
gridiron this season by an independ.
ent team lately organized with George
Hanscom as manager and J. H. Shelton
as captain. About 20 of our most like
ly boys have signified their intentions
of pursuing the noble sport by being
present at practice and judging from
the material at hand Willmar will
surely be able to hold her own with
the teams OF neighboring towns. The
prospects are that they will run up
against Montevideo next Monday if
satisfactory arrangements can be
made and thereafter Granite Falls,
Litch6eld High school, Atwater and
others may be challenged.

ANSWER ! IS FILED
Officers Bonde and Stephens File
Answer to Complaint in
Waterman Case.

Peter Bonde and George Stephens
have fled their answer to the COM
plant in the case instituted against
them by Benjamin Waterman, where.
In he asks to be awarded damages to
the amount of IS, 900 from each of the
defendants for alleged unlawful and
false Imprisonment and unlawful and
wrongful assault and battery.
The defendants deny each and every
allegation made in the complaint.
That as he unlawfully sold whiskey to
one McCloud in their presence they
only performed their sworn duty as
officers Of the law. That if he suffer-
edSany excruciating pains or personal
injury *by reason OF the arrest it was
due setely to his own violence and
his remittance to the officers and to
his attempt to get away from them at
the time of the arrest. That he was
not held up to public scorn, ridicule
and derision by them, but that he was
treated with all due kindness and con-
sideration from the time of his arrest
up to the time of his conviction of the
offensg charged. 1t now remains to
be seen what ''poor old Ben's" next
"move'' will be.
