AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
Mrs. }. M tiaifhin Sustalns Fracture
Of Collar Bone.

From Mondays Daily.
An automobile accident happened late
yesterday afternoon, in which Mrs. j.
NJ. Halfhill suffered the fracture of her
collar bone. The machine was H. A.
Patterson's, and ne was driving it. With
him in the automobile were his two lit
tie boys, Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Halfhill,
of this city, and A. p. Halfhill of Los
Angeles, CAL The party had started out
after dinner to make tour of the
lakes. They had been to Madison and
Washington lakes and were coming
home, when the accident happened while
they were six miles from the city and
opposite the farm of Ernest BOehland.
The machine had been going over a
piece of rather rough road, but had
emerged from this at the foot of an in
cline, and Mr.. Patterson started to put
on more power so as to make the hill.
The machine was going probably at the
speed of five or six miles an hour, when
suddenly the bushing of the right wheel
broke, and the wheel rolled off down an
incline, circling for fifty yards. Mr.
Patterson brought the machine to an
abrupt stop, thus avoiding its over
turning. Mrs. Halfhill was seated on
the left hand rear seat, and pitched
out over the door and front seat, strik-
ing the ground on her shoulder frac-
turing the collar bone slightly. A. P.
Halfhill holding Lester Patterson in
mis- lap, partly fell and partly jumped
out of the front left hand seat, but
both were uninjured. The others re-
manned in their seats.
Mr. Boehland hitched up a team and
brought the party to the city. 1t was
about five o'clock when the accident
happened. There is no apparent reason
why the wheel should have broken, as
there appeared to be no defect in the
material Had the accident happened
when the machine was going faster
the results might have been much more
serious. Mr.. Patterson is careful
driver, and the accident was one of those
unforeseen ones that are unavoidable.

Son Of L. G. NJ. Fletcher Dies In Cali

| rIoIl Iiudy Ddlly.
| Word was received this morning an.
nOuncing the death of George H. Fletch
er, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs: L. G
Nj. Fletcher, which occurred at 1886
o'clock last evening at Los Angeles, Cal.
from tuberculosis. The disease was de-
veloped four years ago and he was
compelled to give up his law business
in Minneapolis and 90 to a warmer
climate. the change checked the dis
ease for time and he seemed to be
gaining, but, after an attack of the
grippe last winter, he has been gradual
ly failing.
George H. Fletcher was born, Feb Is
1860, in this city, and was educated in
the local public schools, being yaledic.
torian of the class of &c. the first elias
graduated from the Mankato high school
In the fall of the same year he entered
the preparatory department of Michi-
fgan university at Ann Arbor and grad
uated with the class of 81. During this
time he taught one year in the Man
kato high school.
After his graduation, he went to Min.
neapolis and began the study of law
pursuing the work much of the time
with Judge E. Torrance, and was adj
mitted to the bar in January, 1884. He
Immediately formed a partnership with
Judge Torrance under the firm name OF
Torrance & Fletcher. Later he was
associated with c. j. lockwood as
Fletcher & lockwood.
Mr. Fletcher was married in August
1888. to Miss Annie Kimball of Grand
Rapids, Mich, and he is survived by
his wife and one son, Kimball Fletcher
an only daughter, Alice X. Fletcher
having died last year in Los Angeles.
During his residence in Minneapolis
he was closely associated with the bus
mess interests of the city and repre-
scented that community in the legisla-
ture for one term.
Mr.. Fletcher is also survived by ais
father and mother, and by six sisters
and one brother The sisters and broth
err are Mrs. G. j. lockwood, Minneapo-

SEGUIN THREW A FIT.
Ex-Priest In Trouble With the Mime
apoiis Authorities.

From Fridays Daily. :. - sa
Rev. p. A. Seguin is in trouble again.
This time he has run counter of the
authorities of Minneapolis. The Min
neapolis Journal last. evening printed
this story:
Probation Officer Copeland has remov-
ed Jenny Lewis from the Working
Girls Home, Fifteenth avenue s and
Fifth street. No reason is assigned for
the removal. Rev. p. A. Seguin, for
merly Catholic priest and now man.
ager of the home, is up in arms. AL
though money is solicited for the home,
there is but one inmate at present, and
she is employed. Mr.. Seguin declares,
however, that girls are coming and GO
ing all the time. Jennie Lewis was turn
ed over to Officer Copeland by Judge C.
L. Smith, who placed her in the hands
of Mrs. Shepard of the Union City mis-
sion. She was placed in the home by
Mrs. Shepard, but it is said that the
Union City mission became dissatisfied
with the arrangement. s
At the request of Mayor d. P. Jones
representatives of the police depart
ment and the Associated Charities call
ed at the home yesterday. The repre-
sentatives asked for certain explana-
tions, whereupon Mr.. Seguin holly ac-
cused the Associated Charities of dol.
BILE dealing, saying that he would have
them Gin the soup" yet. He then said
he supposed that questions were to be
asked concerning his arrest and trial
at one time in Iowa. This was denied
and Mr.. Seguin said that he did not
wish tine Endorsement of the Associated
Charities or the Humane society. II
was shown that he had made written
Endorsement. Mr.. Seguin finally ex
planned to the police representative that
he had many letters of recommendation
from ministers of the Protestant church
and that he had left the Catholic church
for much the same reason that Martin
Luther did. He refused to give the
names of the board in charge of the
home.
