According to the Atwater Press a
movement is on foot having for it's
object the establishing Of an electric
railway from Hutchinson to Lake

Of the county are far away from

The idea OF organizing a stock CON-

Mr.. and Mrs. j p. Thompson cele-

Albin Swanson, whose death &C.
Cured about three weeks ago, carried

Fred Chester, who was apprehended
and arrested by Sheriff Lundquist
about two months ago for horse steal
ing, made q successful break tor
liberty at the Jail at Benson Friday,
Sept. Is. Deputy Sheriff Mcclure
had neglected to turn the key in the
lock of the cell and when he came to
get the basket preparatory to bring
ing the prisoners their supper, Chester
seized the deputy by the back of the
neck, grapped with him and managed
to take the key away from him, after
which he walked out and locked the
door. Before the deputy was re-
ceived from Jail Chester had put a
safe distance between himself and his
cell and the question now is, where is
Chester and how can he be induced to
come back?
Tuesday morning Of last week a
man named Arthur dwelling of
Cleveland, Ohio, was run over by a
freight train near Kerkhoven as he
was trying to ''get on for free
ride. Both feet were badly lacerated
and one of them had to be amputated.
It is not thought, however, that his
injuries will prove fatal. In the eve
ming of the same day Thorvald Stat,
of Arctander, was run over by the
evening "Flyer" while driving home
from Murdoch. At place known as
the Gross crossing the team left the
road and followed the railroad track
and hence the collision. Both horses
were killed and Stat received bad in
juries, both external and internal. AT
present, however, he is doing nicely
and it is thought that he will recover.
