Both Le95 Broken.

Axel Wahlquist, section foreman
here met with very painful and seri-
GUS accident last Friday morning
while helping clean up the wreck near
*Tora. 1t~seems that two rails we're
twisted up in some way like q right
angle, and held together At the top by
cross bar, and each rail was press
ing in an opposite direction. In order
to get them out they had to be taken
apart and this Mr.. W.hlquist was en-
deavo''ing to do. He had cut oil the
bolts and still they would not come
apart, so he dealt it q blow with q
hammer, and the result WAS they came
very suddenly flying in opposite d.
rections. One sprung back about four
feet, where just few seconds before
the road boss had been standing but
had stepped back when the blow was
administered that severed the two
rails. The other rail sprung the other
way about foot striking Mr.. Wahl-
quist on the leg below the knee, break.
ing both bones in three places and
doubtless splintering the bone in be-
tween the breaks to . certain extent.
His leg was fixed as soon a. medical
assistance could arrive. He WAS
brought home here on the noon train
the same day. The injury will prob
ably cripple him for life and will keep
him confined to his bed for some time.

Death from Sunstroke.

A man by the name OF John Hamer
died At the home of Carl Kennel five
and half miles southwest OF the vii
lage, last Friday about the middle of
the day. He went out In the field to
shock, and when meal time came, and
he did not appear, one OF the girls
was sell t to summon him. She found
him lying down, and thinking he was
asleep endeavored to awaken him.
Finding her attempts in vain she re-
turned 10 the house to report, where
upon several of the men folk went to
the place where the man was lying,
and they also endesvored to arouse
him, but it was soon discovered that
life was extinct. Near by WAS . pail
which had been used for carrying water
and it is thought he had become over
heated and started for the slough near
he field for water. It WAS thought
best to summon a physician, and Dr..
Archibald was accordingly sent for.
The doctor pronounced it q case OF
sunstroke. The coroner was also
notified and the following day Dr..
Harold Frost came down, but decided
that an Inquest was unnecessary.
Mr.. Hamer was native of Germany,
coming to this country about five
weeks ago, and was about 81 years OF
age. He had made arrangements to
move his family to this country, and
it is possible that they are already on
the way here. Their residence was to
have been at Raymond. The mains

TOOK CARBOlIC ACID
Miss Olga Youngstown Committed
Suicide at Her Home in Litch-
field Wednesday Evening.

The whole community was shocked
on Thursday morning TO learn that
O'g. Victoria, the daughter of Mrs.
NJ. c. Youngstrom had committed sui:
eide the evening before at the family
residence in the south part of town.
Miss Young strom who was at home
alone with her mother took advantage
of the absence OF her sisters Hilda and
Anna and swallowed draught of car,
bolic acid from tin cup. The un-
conscious girl was not discovered I'm

yOnd human aid. She died between

The deceased with her sister had re-
turned about two weeks ago from
jamestown, N. D. Fur some time she
had not been in the best of health,
having been troubled with erysipelas
which later developed into eczema.
The latter trouble had returned on the
day OF her death and q doctor had
been called who prescribed for her.
had been observed that she had be-
come Respondent over her health and
there is no doubt she drank the poi
son while in q moment of mental aber-
ration. A note in which she babe her
family goodbye aud expressed the
hope that they. might be spared from
illness bears out this statement. %=
Olga Victoria Youngstrom was born
in Litchfield twenty three years ago
and is survived by her mother, broth
ers Oscar J. and Axel Il and sisters
Hid and Anna. She was OF a gentle
and loving disposition and had many
friends who grieved are at her sad

morrow afternoon at O'Clock from

The latest news indicates that there
will not be = special session of con-
gress. 1t is said that the president
sees no hope OF the present congress
taking Any action that will relieve the
people Of the robbery Of the monopo-
lies.
AS long as our nation and states
and municipalities accept price from
the criminal liquor traffic for the right
to continue to rob the people it will
not be matter of wonderment if al
dermen, legislative representatives and
congressman receive bit Of tainted
currency from boodlers, lobby lists and
corruptionists that the privilege to rob
may be granted to other public thieves.
