The LeSueur Center Leader says
that the work of canning corn at
the factory in that town was COM
pleted on Sept. 21st and the factory
closed down for the season. The
pack consists of something over
200, 900 cans, which the management
considers good. The corn was all
in prime condition and will no doubt
bring the highest market price. The
manager proved himself an expert
at the work.
Will Maxson met with quite a
serious accident on the Lyon coun-
| ty fair grounds, while driving a
trotting horse. The second time
around the half mile track the horse
plunged into the fence just after

over the top Will scraped along the
barb wire and severely cut his
throat and bruised him up some.
Six stitches we're necessary to bring
the cut together properly.
George Tauer of Springfield had
his experience with gasoline. His
wife was i'll and while he was min
istering to her wants the little
daughter attempted tolight the gas
oline stove. The reservoir on the
latter had sprung a leak and the
4 vapor had filled the room so well
that when the match was lit there
was instantaneous explosion. In
getting the gasoline stove out doors
Mr.. Tauer had his face and hands
severely burned. Mrs. Tauer and
the little girl were not injured by
the ignition.
VIM. Maxwell, a Fairfax grain
buyer, has gone bump, according to
the Standard. A. L. Brice, a Min
neapolis attorney, presented con-
ditional bill of sale for Max well S
elevator given to the commission
firm named Mccarthy Bros, to
cover a debt of $4,000, which the
commission house claims Maxwell
owes them. The claim is likely to
be investigated. Maxwell owes the
bank at Fairfax $1,000, and his
cousin, father and brother Sc, 600.
Indications are that Maxwell was
monkeying with the buzz saw. or in
palmer words, with options.
Barney WEIGH, a transient at
Echo, was sent to the Yellow Medi-

Co. in a rather peculiar manner
When the agent of the company at
Echo returned to his elevator
at dark on Sept. 9th, he found WEIGH
there with wheat dumped in the
hopper, but no team was in sight.
The stranger then gave his name
as J. Jensen, and said he lived sey-
en- miles southwest of town. After
considerable discussion Mr.. Schroe-
der paid him 81, but strongly sus-
| pected that the wheat in the hop
per had been let down from the bin
above. On Sept. % a cloud of dust
was seen coming out of the hopper
just at dusk, and Mr. Schroeder
ran up the driveway. He found
his man hid in a bin and after turn
ing him oyer to the police found
that over so bushels of wheat had
been run into the hopper.
