L. O. JESNESS, SWAN LAKE
ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT CYRUS
TUESDAY-JESN
MAY LIVE.

L.O. Jesness, the we'll known and
prosperous farmer of Swan Lake,
was the victim of terrible accident
at Cyrus on Tuesday afternoon. He
had gone to the elevator at Cyrus to
procure some supplies. and as MIR
Jesness was in a hurry and the eIeva-
tor man busy saving wood, Mr.. Jes-
ness volunteered to saw the wood
while the other procured the supplies
for him
Mr.. Jesness is experienced in run
ming circular saw, and has one on
his own farm. He had sawed only
few sticks however, when a chip drop
ped between the saw and the frame.
Mr.. Jesness appears to have taken
another stick to push out the first
chip. and in doing so, he must have
cram ped the saw. At any rate the
saw broke in two, and one half was
thrown into the air, where it struck
shaft and descended on Jesness's
head. 1t sunk into his head, cutting
cash in the skull about five inches
long.
DR.. Game was Immediately called,
and cleaned and dressed the wound.
As the saw was clean, and as Mr..
Jesness was bald, and there was thus
no dirt carried into the wound, there
are chances that he may recover.

Herman was not it at any time dur
the game, and Morris won an easy
victory by the score of 10 to |. A
hard game was expected, as Herman
had won from Morris early in the

RAY HARRISON DEAD.
Passed Away at St. Mary's Hospital
I aSf Sunday

wy 49, ~ NAs~A -
Last Sunday.
Ray w, Harrison, the circum-
stanceas of whose shooting at Don
nelly, were told last week, died at St.
Mary's Hospital in Minneapolis last
Sunday.
After his wound had been dressed
at the hospital the preceding Tues
day, he gradually gained during
most of the week. His father, w.
Harrison, and his sister, Mrs. S. W.
McNinch, of Marble Rock, Iowa, ar
rived the same day, and his sister
was allowed to remain at the hospital
assist in taking care Of him. Ray
expected to recover very rapidly, and
was even able to sit up, but toward
the last complications set in which
carried him away quickly. He
talked very little even with his sister
of the sad affair which was to be the
c-use of his death, but even while
expecting to recover, he talked with
his sister, who is Christian woman,
of the beauties of a Christian lifa.
He requested the day before he died
that he be baptized as he never had
been and a Presbyterian minister
was procured who reformed the
ceremony. On Sunday, he died in
great bodily pain but in peace OF
mind.
Ray w. Harrison was Is years, Is
days old, having been born May 18th,
1879. He lived at Charles City,
Iowa, until he was six years old,
and then the family moved to
Marble Rock. There he attended
school, and graduated. He came to
Do nneily with S. H. Davis five years
ago the coming December, where
they purchased the general store.
When this firm come to Donnelly,
the town bad not grown any in if
teen or twenty years, and now, while
Davis & Harrison have not been the
only persons who built mp Donnelly,
yet they have contributed their full
share to it's growth, both of the men
being excellent merchants and public
spirited citizens. Donnelly has
easily trebled in size while they have
been there, and has become an i'm
portant trading center. Mr.. Harrison
has been respected not only as a
business man, but he was we'll liked
for rare personal qualities which
made the manner Of his taking
off so out OF harmony with his life.
The funeral was held at Marble
Rock on Tuesday, the burial being
at Oh aries City, where his mother
and sister are buried. A very large
assemblsge of old friends attended
the funeral, and the floral offerings
we're very profuse, including beau
tiful piece from the Morris K. P.
lodge, to which Harrison belonged.
S. H. Davis and F. J. Mclaughlin
attended the funeral, and in Don
nelly itself the business houses were
cl osed at the time of the funeral out
of respect for the deceased.

The game at Beardsley Tuesday
against the Peever Indians was

that Morris pounded the opposing

easy victory. The score at the end of
the fifth was 4 to 2 in favor of Morris.
The final score was II to 2 in favor
of our team
Bailey was on the slab for Morris,
and did some excellent work. He held
the Indians down to six scattered
