Violent Death of Frank Griffin.


Last Thursday at about i o. clock
in the forenoon the community was
shocked by the news of the sudden
and tragical death of Frank Griffin.
He had been engaged for the day
by Mr.. Chinook to operate the
street sprinkler while he, Mr.. Chin
mock, went to the Ellsworth fair.
The sprinkler is a tall, heavy con-
triyance, with a seat high up above
the horses for the driver. Griffin
was filling the sprinkler from the
hose at the watering tank and had
practically completed the task of
filling when the horses started up.
The team had become SO accustom-
ed TO the process that it's horse
sense took usual note of the filled
tank and was accustomed TO start
up almost mechanically. On this
occasion it started up before Mr..
Griffin had turned off the water.
He was kneeling on the top of the
barrel sprinkler with his
back to the horses, endeavoring to
adjust the hose, when the horses
pulled away from the position, and
while reaching out in his attempt,
he partially lost his balance and as
the heavily-freighted wagon jolted
over the street crossing he lost hold
entirely of his support and fell
headforemost, striking SO heavily
on the hard ground as to break his
neck. Mr.. Stewart, of the firm of
Stewart g. Grimm. who saw Mr..
Griffin fall, ran to him Immediately
and raised his head but, with one
gasp, he expired. With the injury
of a broken neck his death was
painless and practically instantane-
Gus.
Mr.. Griffin was 81 years old and
unmarried. He leaves a widowed
mother and one sister, Mrs. David
Haddow of Troy. The funeral was
held Saturday afternoon from his
home on Third street, Rev. D. B..
Spencer having charge of the SER

The Pierce County Fair.

the Pierce County Fair Association,
taken as whole, was a record
breaker. While the weather was
not "all that could be DESIRED" it
was not so unfavorable as to ma
terially affect either the program or
the receipts. The officers of the
association, with their accustomed
energy, put up an attractive pro-
gram, and the exhibitors and sight
Seers did the rest, the three ele-
ments forming a combination which
made the Fair the most successful
one ever held in Pierce county. In
the matter of attendance, Thursday
was the banner day in the history
of the society, River Falls alone
contributing over four hundred to
the number present.
In the livestock department the
barns, sheds and pens were filled
to overlooking with the finest grades
of horses, cattle sheep and swine
ever shown in the county, bearing
abundant testimony to the fact that
the farmers of Pierce county are in
harmony with the progressive spirit
of the age in the matter of produc-
ton along this line. The same ex-
cellence shown in the stock depart
ment was also witnessed in the de-
partmentS of grain, vegetables,
fruits and other products of the
farm and household. In the de-
partment of fine arts the display
was much in advance of that of one
year ago, while the business men
sustained their reputation for max
ing fine displays.
The Ellsworth, River Falls, Mar
tell and Hudson bands enlivened the
occasion with music, which proved
an enjoyable holiday season for
those in attendance. The base ball
game played on Thursday between
the Hudson and River Falls teams
resulted in victory for the latter,
the score standing to O. The
game was altogether too one-sided
to produce any excitement, but the
pitcher for the River Falls team
made it an entertaining one.
Whatever may be said against
'hoss-racing" this is one of the
most attractive features of the Fair,
and has come to stay. The gentlemen
who constitute the speed committee
know what is wanted in this line
and hustle around and get it. Illi-
nois, Minnesota and Wisconsin were
represented in the races, and fast
time was made by fine horses, to
the intense interest of many people
who admire valuable horse-f1esh
when animated by a desire TO excel
in speed. The best time ever made
on the Ellsworth track was in the
running race witnessed on Friday
afternoon. The liberal purses Of
fered by the association to horse
men which year by year is becom-
ing more widespread, drawing the
best horses to be found upon tracks
of this class.
1t cannot prove otherwise than
gratifying to all who contributed in
any measure to the success of the
Fair to know that their efforts were
not in vain, and much credit is due
both Fair officials and exhibitors
for their interest in bringing to-
gether for exhibition the best prod
ucts of the county as illustrating
the productive resources of this
portion of the state, and incidental
ly more closely associating our
farmers with each other, when an
interchange of experience and ideas
may be had, which cannot fail to

had been left in command of the COL

at his counsel. "I'se the man wot
