to whether the outfit would turn out to

Nothing would have surprised their

long been regarded as foolish. Last
week Thursday they loaded up their
deep sea going cab with a number of
trunks and boxes. and started on a
pilgrimage, leaving everything on the
place as though they intended return

was left as custodian over the eighty
acre farm and about thirty head Of
stock, besides large number of chick

When they did not return that day
nor the next the neighbors went over
and cared for the stock and notified
the chairman of the town, Herman
Witte, of the case. He started a
deputy sheriff after the boys, and he
overlook the outfit at Troy Center

were enroute to the sunny south in
obedience to command from the spirit
of their dead father, who had also
ordered the construction of their port

including a mattress, out on shed
roof adjoining the main part of the
house. On this roof was brick
chimney about ten feet high, which
was braced with an iron rod. She put
the. clothes on this rod and it is
thought that either the weight of the
clothes benz the chimney over or she
may have slipped on the roof and, in
falling caught the brace. and the added
weight and momentum caused the
chimney to fall, with the result that
her skull was crushed by the tons of
brick and mortar and she was dead in
stantly. The accident was witnessed
by Miss Mary Nixon, a neighbor, and
help was summoned Immediately, but
the unfortunate young woman was be-
yond human aid.
The accident is an unusually sad one
and called forth expressions of regret
and sympathy from every side for Mr..
Casey and his family.
Miss Euphemia Casey was born in
Watertown in 1882 and after gradual
ing from the high school. she remained
at home. She was a popular young
lady and enjoyed the esteem and
friendship of old and young. She was

cause he has adopted an ingenious
method of feeding his threshing crew.
They hope that his method will be
adopted by every thresherman in the
state, for it would relieve them of
the terrors of the threshing period,
when they are expected to feed a large
number of men in addition to perform
ing their household duties.
Hammer intends that the wives of
farmers for whom he threshes shall
not be worked to death during the
time himself and crew of men are at
work upon a farm. He has arranged
to board and provide FOR his men
himself. In accordance with his plan
he has constructed a car 10 by 80 feet
in size. In this he will have his din.
ing room and kitchen. Tents will be
carried for sleeping apartments. The
car will be on wheels and land easily
can be hauled from place ito place as
the scene Of threshing is changed.
All the farmers will haze to do I'M
der Hammers plan will be to haul the
grain away after the threshing ma
chine has separated it from the stalks.
