From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Chester Carpenter, the nine year old
son of Ed Carpenter, farmer, living
near Vernon Center, was killed in
most distressing accident with a team of
horses and disc harrow yesterday
morning. The father and son were out
in the field, not far from the house
where the father had been narrowing
when the latter went to the dwelling
leaving the boy with the horses and
the harrow. 1t was not long before noon
and it is thought that the boy attempt
ed to unharness the team. When the
father looked again out into the field, he
saw that the horses were unruly and
the boy in danger. The team started
on runaway and the boy was knocked
down under the harrow, one disc of
which cut frightful cash across the
throat. The boy was still alive when
his father reached him. He was taken
to the house, where he recognized the
family, but could not speak. DIR. ia
CODY was called from Vernon Center, but
the boy was dead before medical aid
could reach him. He died about an honr
after the accident. Besides the cut
across his throat, the jaw was crushed
and the skull fractured.
The funeral took place this afternoon
at two o'clock.
Chester was one of several children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter.

HIT BY A STRONG WIND.
Belle Plain Property Was Damaged
Saturday evening.

Saturday Evening.
Belle Plaine. Mimi, June 5.-Scarcely
building in the whole city escaped
serious damage in furious storm
which swept the town and vicinity
about nine o'clock Saturday evening
While no estimate of the damage i.
! possible at this time, it is believed that
the losses will be heavy, especially
among the business men, "a ON the bus
mess street practically every store was
damaged.
A large granary owned by Mrs
Sisterman was lifted from it's fOunda-
ton, carried distance of fifty feet and
hurled with terrific force against barn
demolishing it and scattering the spin
tiers over vast area. The house was
also damaged.
A large barn on the place of Mrs
Sielaff tumbled before a furious on
slaught of the storm and two cows were
killed. Mail Carrier O'Connor's barn
was also demolished and his house
badly damaged.
In the business district the damage
was, if possible, even more severe. Frag-
ments of broken glass were tossed
about in the street, menacing the safety
of the few who ventured outside. A
large front glass in Mrs. Merlin's con-
fectionery store was broken. Whit
locks mmberyard was practically torn
down and the lumber scattered over sew
eral blocks.
The new Catholic church, which was
well advanced in course of construc-
ton, will have to be practically rebuilt
Among the residences, those sustaining
most damage We're G. R. Malon's and
G. R. STATIONS.
The storm came up suddenly, giving
not the slightest warning. Reports of
great damage in the farm districts sur
rounding the town are coming in, al
though its most destructive force was
confined within an area of a mile in
width.
AS far as known no fatalities or even
serious injuries took place.
Saltwater, June 5.-The severest cleo
trical storm since the day of the New
Richmond cyclone, accompanied by a
downpour of rain, visited this city Sat-
urday afternoon. Many persons were
frightened at the sharp lightning, the
heavy thunder and the threatening as
pect of the clouds. The flag staff over
the Pythian hall and A. A.. A. associa-
ton home was shattered into many
splinters that were scattered for half
block each way on the lawns and on
the streets.
Earl Castle and Walter Roney, play
ing billiards in the clubroom were Sc
verely shocked, and people on the streets
nearby were startled The street car
system was thrown out of operation fol
a time The storm was furious fol-
half an hour, but then the sun came
out bright.

NEW ULM's HISTORIC HOTEL.
Dakota House Has Entertained Many
DISTINGUISHED Guests.


New Ulm, June 5.-While in this city
Wednesday, Governor Johnson was the
guest of his brother, F. w. johnson, at
the Dakota house, and in conversation
with Mrs., Setter, mother of Mrs. F. w.
Johnson, the interesting fact was
brought out that the Dakota house has
entertained at different times every
governor the state of Minnesota has
had.
The Dakota house, was built in 1857
by Adolph Setter, now dead, but his
wife has been connected with it contin-
uOusly. Though quite an old lady, she
still insists in looking after the welfare
of her guests.
She recounts interesting anecdotes of
the visits of the different governors to
the hotel, from the time Governor Ram
sey came there soon after the Indian
massacre to his return few years ago
when he was present at the fortieth an
niversary of that event. Governor
Johnson was much interested in the
narrative and was inclined to believe
That there was no other hotel in the
state that could claim like distinction.
At the time of the massacre the lob
by of the hotel was used for a hospi-
tai. and many of the wounded were
brought there and cared for, and though
Mr.. and Mrs. Setter gave up their prop
erty and furnished money and provis-
ions for the care of the wounded, they
have never received anything from the
government or from any other source.
In the outer walls of the building are
still visible scars of the bullets fired
from the guns of the Indians and in the
bricks are still imbedded some of the
bullets. '
For brief period during the time
that the people Of New Ulm had fed
to st. Peter, the Dakota house was not
occupied, and that is the only time it
has been vacant since the day it was
opened.
The large thoroughbred foxhound that
is the property of1the governor is be-
ing kept by Mr.. johnson here,
and the governor has not seen him
since the election. The dog was sleep
ing on a couch in the office of the ho-
tel when the governor came in and sat
down on the couch In an instant the
animal was up and the demonstration
he made over his master was one of
the warmest welcomes the governor has
had. "a 54.
For long time there was in exist
ence the first register the hotel had,
bearing date from 1856 until 1860, the
one book covering the entire period of
time for there were few transactions in
those days and the travelling man, as
he is now reckoned was unknown.
In this register may be found the
names of General William T. Sherman,
General Pope, General Fitzhugh Lee, Al
bert Sidney Johnson, General Sigel,
and number of other officers who
were in the habit of coming from Fort
Ridgely.

SEVERAL RUNAWAYS.
Streets EnIivened by Frisky Horses
Last Evening.

Last EVENING"
From Mondays Daily.
There were three or four runaways at
about the same time last evening, that
made things lively on the streets for
a time. Tony Klages' horse took a
spin across the bridge, just missing four
rigs that were crossing the bridge at
the time
A team came down Front street from
West Mankato, and broke loose from
the buggy and dashed on to Bradley's
crossing, where it was caught.
Nobody was hurt or any particular
damage done in any of the runaways,
and each one seemed to have started
from some separate cause. 1t may be
that the horsese were 80 glad that sum-
mer had come that they could not re-
strain themselves.
This forenoon a team belonging to
George Scherer, who lives on the st.
Clair road, became frightened at the
sprinkler wagon and started up. Rob-
ert, the nine year old son of Mr.. Scher-
er, had hold of one line and chung to
| it and in this manner succeeded in turn
| ing the team around the National Cit
liens bank corner Ben Jones, grabbed
the bride of one horse and chung to
it until he Had stopped the team. He
and Robert Scherer are both deserv-
ing of credit for their nerve. The team
did not go more than half a block.
