NET A HORRIBLE DEATH
Fireman Gustafson Loses His Life
by Being Crushed under the
Car Wheels.

Tckeo up In g. horribly mangled
condition near Garretson, S. D and
suffering from injuries from which he
expired shortly afterwards in a hospi-
tal at Sioux Falls-that was the sad
fate of Emil G.. Gustafson, fireman
Oh the Wilmer & Sioux Falls line OF
the Great Northern.
The accident which resulted in the
tragic death of Mr.. Gustafson hap
pened early last Thursday morning,
about q halt mile east of Garretson.
1t was due to the breaking of de-
fective pin in the draw bar connecting
the engine and tender, causing the Sc
paration of these two parts. Fireman
Gustafson dropped down thru the
opening and before the train co lid be
stopped several cars had passed over
his body. The accident was similar
to that which cost the life of Charles
Patton.
Gustafson was firing on freight train
No. 244, east bound, with w. H. Meth
way as conductor. The engineer in
charge was William Nelson. The
train was short distance this side of
Garretson and according to the train
crew was running at speed of about
ten miles an hour when the accident
happened, which was about 1920 q. m.
Gustafson had just finished putting in
fire and was abont to replace the
coal shovel in the tank. The moment
he stepped across, the engine became
disconnected from the tender and he
dropped beneath to meet cruel death.
His arms and legs were crushed and
the tank wheels run over his left foot,
severing that member from the body.
His entire body was more or less
bruised and he was severely cut about
the head and shoulders. He was
picked up by the train crew and
brought to a place where surgical
help could be rendered, being later re-
moved to the hospital at Sioux Falls.
His injuries, however, proved fatal,
and he passed away about eleven
O'Clock the same morning.
A telegraphic dispatch to a brother
in St. Paul, Charles Gustafscn, who
IS plumber by trade, apprised him
fzohe sad affair and 8 message was
also sent to the young mans mother,
Mrs. Johanna Frid, who lives at Clay
Center, Kansas. A response received
from the brother asked that the body
be forwarded to the old home in Kan
sas and the remains have been shipped
to that place for burial.
The unfortunate young mans age is
given as Is years. He was a member
of the Macabees lodge of this city and
carried life insurance policy in that
order for $1,000. He was unmarried
and the beneficiary was his aged
mother. Before entering the employ
of the Great Northern some over q
year ago he had been employed as a
blacksmith at A. J. Ekander's and
also at S. Rasmusson's shop. He
made his home in this city about three
years and among those who best
knew him he was highly spoken Of,
being of quiet and upassuming dis
position. The news of his fatal acci-
dent was received with great regret by
his many Willmar friends.
At the coroner's inquest which was
held at Sioux Falls last Saturday the
jury returned a verdict to the effect
that Gustafson came to his death by
reason of the gross negligence of the
Great Northern Railroad Co.

On Monday forenoon Calvin Lomoe,
farmland, was brought up on the
charge of drunkenness. He asked
an adjournment till two O'Clock p. m.
that he might bring a witness. This
was granted and at two o'clock the
hearing of the case was resumed with
Samuel Porter acting as attorney
for the defendant. Judge Muller found
him guilty and imposed fine OF $40
and costs, but considering the circum-
stances he remitted one~h half of the
fine.

Municipal Court Doines.

os AoA 9O1y AOlOuOOu t1l0 case OI
VIM O'Day was heard. Mr.. O'Day
was an employe of the Singer Sewing
Machine Co. and on Tuesday, Sept.
Is, he was sent out to Lake Lillian to
make some sales and also to collect
money on note. Having collected
the money he appropriated the amount
OF S22 to his own use. he pleaded his
own case and put up a technical de-
tense. But the evidence brought forth
by the Witnesses of G. M. Wilson.
local agent for the company, proved
his guilt conclusively and Judge
Muller found him guilty of the otfense
charged, imposing fine of s4O and
costs or 40 days in the county Jail.
Being unable to furnish the required
cash he was committed to the care of
Sheriff Lundq
This was the same man who was
tried on Monday, Sept. IL, for dis
orderly conduct. He was found guilty
and the fine of Sl2 imposed was paid
through the kindness of G. M. Wilson.
The case OF Benjamin Waterman,
the pioneer blindpigger, for selling
Intoxicating liquors without "being a
licensed dispenser or druggist" was
heard in the afternoon of the same
day. Ben had previously stated to
the Judge that he was not guilty and
it now remained for him to establish
his innocence. He pleaded his own
case and after the clear, concise and
conclusive evidence of the city's
witnesses, Messrs. J. H. McCloud
and VIM. R. Gobell of the Baxter
Detective agency, had been introduced,
Ben was allowed to ask any questions
he might desire. But he appeared to
be rather embarrassed by the honor
of being his own attorney and all he
asked of the witnesses was if they had
really bought the beer from him, if
they had paid for it, and if they were
in the habit Of always paying for the
beer they got. Receiving affirm ative
replies to all these inquiries Ben dis
continued the defense. After some
meditation Judge Muller said: eff
mono.mania were species of in
sanity I would feel inclined to send
you before a probate court. I find
you guilty of the offense charged and
impose a fine of $50 and costs or, in
case of non-payment thereof, 50 days
in the county JAIL"
Ben was we'll supplied with the
"stuff that rules the world" but didn't
feel inclined to part with it, so he
decided to ''play solitary'' at the
dear old place that had furnished him
with food and shelter upon 80 many
previous occasions.

Bert White Injured.

Bert White OF Lucerne had one leg
broken and otherwise badly injured
in runaway by his team at Lucerne
Thursday afternoon. He was haul
ing wheat to Lucerne and was unload

caught one of them by the bride and
was dragged some distance and struck
a post. The leg was broken below
the knee, both bones being severed.
DR.. Spaulding was called to set the
member, and the injured man re,
moved to his farm home two miles

GOING SOME
EXPERIENCES OF GREELEY
CROWD OF HUNTERS
County Treasurer Does Fancy
Flip-Flops Off Back of
Wagon-Thirty One
Ducks Dead

Heavens. where is the county
treasurer?'
The remark was made by DR.. Stock
over. after he and his companions
had pulled themselves together
sufficiently to sit up and notice
things. The doctor, Sam McAfee.
W. r. Adams and George ID. Statler
started out Saturday in ID. II. Nc
Arthur's delivery wagon for the first
try of the season at the ducks SOUTH
east of Evans. They had Or. Stock
overs long geared horse and half
length one of McArthur'S hitched to
the delivery wagon. The tall horse
didn't fit his clothes and because the
whitfie trees hit his heels he decided
to liven things up.
The livening up business began on
top of the hill on the divide between
Greeley and Evans. The doctor and
Adams were on the front seat and Nc
Afee and Statler on soap box be-
iiilit. w iiSi tiit paw oe'uhiV too
swift for Mr.. Adams he took hold of
the lines but their combined efforts
were of no avail to hold the mad
dened team, which was now thor
oughly beyond control.
About this time Sam McAfee de-
cided to lend a helping hand in the
driving and reached over and also
took hold of the lines.
A little later Mr.. Statler had the
same thought. but there WAS then nc
room for more hands on the line. SO
he decided to sever his connection
with the outfit.
Among the theoretical problems
| that Mr.. Statler has often wrestled
with was this of whether Il man
could jump backward out of a hard
ware delivery wagon going at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour without
landing on his ear. He says now lit
can't be done.
When finally the team was brought
up after running about a half mile
and an inventory was taken, the los

JUST A GAME
HOW POLITICS IS WORKED
FOR ONE MAN.
A Little Inside History on How
the Independent Voter
Becomes Dependent
on the Machine

So few people, outside of those who
are on the inside in politics, have the
slightest idea how the game is
worked. Many of them look on the
reports about one man or another
controlling the political situation as
only so much talk; and that the av-
erage American voter is wise enough
and independent enough not to be
controlled by anyone. A good illus
tration of how such persons are
blinded and hoodwinked is shown in
the way the republican county con-
vention this year was controlled by
ii. f. Churchill.
The spectator at the convention
could see nothing of this. The pretty
little speech made by Churchill at
the opening of the convention was
also intended to dispel any impress
sion that he simply played the dele
gates as so many puppets. But the
work was done before the convention.
All the details of how Churchill
worked into the control of this con-
vention will never be known except
TO himself, but few OF the methods
were open enough so that he who
runs may read. The work has been
going on for several years, but not
until the judicial convention last
spring was the time ripe to come out
and make an open play. This con-
sisted in having himself named for
chairman OF the county committee.
II was then easy to control the pre-
cinct committees.
Next. at the meeting Of the county
committee to decide on date for
holding the primaries and county
convention he arranged it that, as it
was innocently put. the smaller dis
tricts might have more equal repre-
sentation with the more populous
ones like Greeley. they should be al
lowed one delegate to the county con-
vention for every ten votes or fraction
of ten cast for Peabody for governor

Sunday School Convention.

The annual convention of the Weld

IN the Baptist church, being opened

after which followed few remarks
by the president, Charles Ii. Bliss.

for the governor. To still furthel
eoualize matters, in addition to tn,
delegates chosen on this basis, eacl

which is said to have east two vote,
for governor, had four delegates, a

there was another, the real, reaSou
for this.
w. Il. Adams. the present COUNTY
clerk. is one of Churchill's strongest
enemies politically. In Greeley,
where both men are best known.
Churchill knew full we'll that he
should have no chance in an eQual
fight with Adams. even had there
not been other republicans that he
intended to turn down, so he cut
down the delegates from the city.
Outside of the city the two men
might have broken even had it just
been an equal fight with no political
machine for one or the other. The
same rule applies to Howard Rea
and Others.
To make still more sure control OF
the delegates, the chairman of each
precinct committee was made judge
of the primaries with sole power to
choose his assistants and to decide
on the qualification of the voters at
the primaries Thus Churchill has a
solid convention for himself. In a
few instances he permitted two bal
lots to be taken on the name of a
nominee. just for effect. but in the
whole convention there We're probably
not p votes that would not be cast

how the people are having things
