SWAL|N IS INJURED
Former WilImarite is the Victim
of Saw Mill Accident at
Dixter, MINI.

In response to a telegram amour
cling that his brother, N. B. Swain,
had been hurt and with 20 further
particulars of the accident ia his pos
session, John Swain hastened on
Tuesday of last week to Black Duck,
MINI. When he arrived there he
found that his brother had fallen a
victim to saw mill accident at Dix
ter, nine miles northeast Of that place,
while at work on his saw mill prop
erty, and had narrowly escaped the
loss of his right hand.
Mr.. Swalin was engaged in the work
of edging some lumber and in some
manner got his right hand caught in
the big circular saw. All four fingers
were so badly lacerated that an am
putation was necessary and the un-
fortunate young man was obliged to
part with all these members with the
exception of two short stubs repre-
senting the first two fingers. When
the accident happened he was placed
on hand car, after temporary band
ages had been applied, and taken
with all possible haste to Black Duck,
nine miles distant, where surgeon
could give the proper attention to the
injuries. When the patient reached
his destination he was in a very weak
condition from the loss Of blood and
the exposure to which he had been
subjected.
Mr.. Swalin is we'll known in this
city and his many friends will deeply
sympathiZe with him in his misfor.
tune. Some time ago he left Willmar
for the pine country and became in
terested in the saw mjll business, his
departure from here being mainly on
account Of his failing health. He
chose the northern pines in the hope
of receiving some benefit for his lung
trouble; and his condition was much
improved by the change. When the
unfortunate turn of affairs came he
had only recently disposed Of his in
terest in the business to his partners,
the firm name being Olson Bros. 4
Swalin, and planned to remain until
a certain amount Of lumber was
sawed. 1t was while trimming four
inch strip that he became the victim
Of the terrible accident.
John Swalin returned to his home
ia sf6 this city On Saturday, and states
that his brother may be expected here
as soon as the injured hand is healed
suffi GENTLY to permit of his travelling.

Wiumar ''fans" will be interested
to learn that the city will have a good
bail club this season. Arrangements
are in progress for the organization
OF q team that will include in it's mem
bership several college men, and when
the present school year is closed we
will have the pleasure of seeing the
men in their respective roles on the
diamond.
Through the efforts of Ollie Ander-
son, who is himself a most devoted
enthusiast of the national game and
player of no mean ability sufficient
interest has been aroused in baseball
circles in this city with the result th at
the following eau be announced as the
lineup for the season of 1904:
Peter Bonde, catcher.
Dan Booth, pitcher.
Archie Larson, shortstop.
BertOn Branton, 1st base.
George Tyler, 2nd base.
Ollie Anderson, Bird base.

Arthur Carlson, right field.
Several reserve players are also
named, among them Ludwig Glarum
rs pitcher and C. C. Broughton as

unknown.
Bicycle riding has already been tri led
IN this vicinity. It-was pronounced
all right, but the roads are not in a
condition for bicycle riding at present.
John Lindblad, who left some time
ago for Kenmare, N. D., is now back
again. He. went there to attend to
land affairs. He says Dakota had a
bad snow storm during his stay there.
Clarence Lindblad, who is HAVING
charge of the John Lindblad farm. is
at present staying at home on account
of his fathers sickness. Mr.. Lindblad
is reported to be speedily recovering.
Seeding is now we'll underway and
some of our farmers have already
finished seeding wheat at this writing,
but most of them have merely started
and will do we'll if they are through
by May first, as the season is and has
been very wet. The soil is not in a
very good condition yet.
The site where the new bank will
stand is yet under water, but will soon
dry out and we understand that the
work of filling up the lot will CON-
mence as soon as the soil and weather
permits. 1t is indeed a fine site for
that institution, but it will take both
time and labor to get it in good shape.
| would advise the farmers to seed
large amount of wheat this year as
everything points to good price for
wheat next season. The United States
is in a more critical condition than for
several years, some sections of the
southwest have not had rains for ten
months and rains will be necessary to
bring out good crop. If these rains
are not general by May 10 a consider
able part Of the wheat area will be
lost, regardless of what conditions
may obtain afterward.
Paul has stayed at home for the
most of the time this week so you must
not expect a great amount of news.
Seeding is also at hand now and Paul
as you know is a hustler and wants to
get the grain down in the ground as
soon as possible SO as to obtain good
results and he can not attend to more
than one thing at a time, but the TR1-
BUNE is filed with interesting news,
so there is hardly space for more. It
is not like the other county organ,
which has but a few correspondents
and not much other news either for
that part. PAUL.

News is scarce this week owing to
the fact that every body was so busy

walking in the field all day so he does
not feel like gathering news.

ming. A general discussion followed
Miss Laura Frahm discussed "Draw,
ing in the Rural Schools,' illustra'
ting her points with practical and vel
chosen sketches, which might be used
by the teachers in their schools.
The program was practical, helpful

gret being that the weather was such
that many teachers found it impossible
to be present.

Change at Bowling Alleys.

Alfred Swenson, who for some time
has been conducting the Union bowl
ing alleys in this city, is making
arrangements to dispose OF his Will
mar business. Negotiations are at
present pending for the lease Of his
Benson avenue place to certain Will
mar parties. Mr.. Swenson plans to
go on the road as salesman for the
Los Angeles Fruit Cider Co., a posi-
tion which he hopes to enter upon May
z. The western headquarters of this
concern are at St. Louis and Mr..
Swenson has been assigned the terri
tory comprising Northern Minnesota
and North Dakota. He will retain
Willmar as his home and the family
will continue to reside here.
In all probability Mr.. Swenson's

May Rebuild Tucker Bridge.

Commissioner Hibbard says the
county court at the adjourned session
last week talked over the need OF new
bridge at fuckers. The bridge is in
need of repairs, says Mr.. Hibbard, and
the members of the court are expected
to visit the bridge this week and decide
as to what sort OF repairs should be
made
Commissioner Hibbard says he would
like very much to. see steel structure
put in, but this is hardly feasible at this
time. The county funds are being drawn
on heavily for roads and bridges. When
the bridge shall need to be reconstructed
10 or Is years from now, the county will
likely be in better shape to stand the
expense.
The new bridge will cost considerably
more than the present one did. The
timbers for stringers were secured sew
epal years ago for $25 each. Mr.. Hib-
bard says the same kind will now cost
SIS or $780,
There is some call for a new bridge
over Rail creek gulch, but this bridge
says Mr.. Hibbard is so propped up that
it is in fairly good condition and possibly
the building of the Tucker bridge,
which is badly needed, will exclude the
renewal of the Rail creek bridge this
summer. Plans for this bridge were
drawn over year ago.

Already he has land cleared on which
he will plant 500 Yellow NeWtown and
Spitzenberg apple trees this fall. This
spring he planted two acres of potatoes,
which he saws are doing nicely on the
raw land. The soil is finely adapted
for producing premium apples, and it
will not be many, summers ere Mr..
Billings can figure on neat cash income
from his fruit ranch, besides having a
beautiful home place, where he is lord
of his own domain, and freer from
troubles than the retired millionaire.
Mr.. Billings says there are 1900, 900
feet of timber on his land. This is a
valuable asset in itself. There is also
numerous springs ON his land. From
