KATHERINE FALL0N
SETTLES SUIT
At $3.50
Action the Outcome of Death
of Husband by Falling
From Coal Shute.

An agree judgment was entered in
the district court this morning in the
case of Katherine Fallon against the
Great Northern railroad company, in
the suit brought against the latter for
$4,000 damages. The allegations Of
the bill are that in July, 1905. Edward
Fallon was employed by the company
In cOaling engines from the coal
dump of the company in this city, and
as the plaintiff alleged, because of the
improper construction of the dump
and the negligence of the defendant in
properly attending to the same, FallOn
fell from the upper floor to the ground
and sustained injuries from which he
died on the 22nd of August. The widow
sued to recover damages and the
agreed judgment was $3.50.
Something of story attaches to the
case. FallOn was married to the widow
in Manchester, England, and after
nearly forty years of marital life di-
vOrce proceedings were instituted by
him in the district court of this county
and the decree prayed for was granted
ON August 2, 1904. After the incident
which resulted in his death happened,
the couple bridged over the abyss be-
tween them and on August 10, three
days before his death, license was
issued from the Office of the county
judge of this county and they were
again married.

SURVEYORS ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE
Kent Realty Property to he Laid Out in
LOts-Budge improvements.

Work will commence the first of the
week in the laying out into city lots of
the property owned by the Kent Realty
company between the city and the uni
versity. The ball park is included in
the property. Surveyors will start
Monday and rush the work to compile
ton as it is the intention of the COM
pany to get everything Strengthened
up as soon as possible. When this is
done the property on both sides of the
avenue will have been laid into lots
as far out as the English coulee. Will
liam Bulge is also contemplating some
changes in his plans for Bulge park
on the other side of the grove across
from the Kent property. The land on
the east of the grove has already been
plated and trees set out but on the
other side the trees have not yet been
planted so Mr.. Bulge has decided on a
change from the original plat and
County Surveyor Lawson will start the
work as soon as he can get at it. The
Wesley college tract will also have to
be surveyed and plated some time in
the near future as the builders want to
get to work on the basement and foun-
datiOns for the dOrmitories.

anniversary OF STORM OF 1903
Three Years Ago Wednesday Well Re.
membered by People Of the
Northwest.

No doubt many of the Evening
Times readers will recall the fearful
storm which swept over this state
three years ago last Wednesday, and
are beginning to wonder if the pres
ent weather conditions are a fore
runner to similar one. The storm
of three years ago was a combination
rain and hail storm, with wind
strong enough to give it the charac-
teristics of a genuine blizzard. The
cold was intense for the time of year,
the mercury reaching below the zero
point. The fact that people were I'M
prepared for such weather conditions
caused an enormous amount of suf-
fering throughout the entire north
west.
Two or three people in this state
We're so severely chilled that they
died. They did not freeze to death, but
died as the result of the exposure.
Considerable stock persisted and the
wet weather which followed the storm
injured the unthreshed grain in many
parts of the state.

THE RAILROADS NOW TAKE A HAND
Northern Pacific Tries to End North.
west Labor Shortage.

The labor shortage through the
Northwest has become so very pro-
nounced that the Northern Pacific rail-
road has adopted the unusual method
of advertising widely for men for all
classes of work along it's line. The
circulars telling of the situation ask
for men for sawmill. planning mill,
single mill and other classes of work,
besides employment on the railroads.
Dodgers explaining the need of more
Workmen are being sent broadcast
through the country. and other means
OF advertising are being adoped. 1t
Is considered rather unusual that a
railroad should advertise for men other
than to work on its own line, but the
Northern Pacific evidently believes that
whatever helps the country through
which the road runs, will help the
road itself.
are winding up their business for the
season, and few of them manifest any
desire to start in on new job before
next summer, because of the scarcity
of labor. The bigger fellows are also
rushing the work through as fast as
possible SO as to be ready for winter
when it comes. Not so many men are
being shipped west out of Grand Forks
as was the case a few weeks back.
There is so much agreeable work to
be had in the city with attractive wage
offers, that the men find it to their
interests to remain here rather than
to go to some distant point, wherethey
arenOtsure Just what conditions will
surround the work They know that in
Grand Forks they have an agreeable
climate for summer and fall work.
and that living conditions here are
more enjoyable than they are in most
places through the Northwest.
In few weeks now the railroad
section gangs will be greatly decreased
in size, and the extra gangs will many
OF them be taken off. This will mean
that more men will be looking for
work, but the fact that woods work
will begin about the time it slackens
off on the railroads will prevent any
great relief being noticeable in the
labor situation. The logging camps
will call for $1,000 men in Northern
Minnesota alone. and probably they
will have to run shOrt-handed at the
beginning of the season. or until the
Western harvest is over and the men
are returning to the cities.

the separator. Before this could be
accomplished, however, the man was
dead.
The authorities were at once notified
and the body was brought to the city
In an ambulance and laid out in the
Norman undertaking parlors. Coroner
Chesterman of Crookston was notified
and will arrive in the city this even
ing and view the body. An inquest is
not likely, however, and this afternoon
1t was announced that the funeral and
interment would be made here.
The deceased was single, "a years of
age, young man of good habits, faith
full in the performance of whatever
duties were assigned to him, as shown
by the fact that John Kennedy employ
ed him as foreman, and was we'll liked
by those with whom he came into con-
tact. His parents reside at Roseau,
Minnesota, though sister, Mrs. Sam
White. resides on Minnesota Point. The
relatives have been notified but at
late hour this afternoon it was I'M
decided as to what disposition would
be made of the remains.
The body was not badly marked by
its contact with the electricity. The
charge entered at point in the back
between the shoulder blades and came
out of the soles of the feet, as shown
by two large blue blotches. How long
a time interviewed after the stroke be-
fore life was extinct, will never be
known, but it was probably three or
four minutes at least, as the other
hands employed on the thresher were
not aware for some little time after
the shock that anyone had been hurt.
John CASTOR, whose life came nearly
paying the forfeit along with that of
Treske's, was badly shocked but this
afternoon was about recovered and
will probably not be permanently af-
fected.

OSCAR wlCK's NARROW ESCAPE
Lightning Strikes Pole to Which He
Was Just Tying His Horse
Both KNOCKED Do,yn

This morning on DeMers avenue in
East Grand Forks, following the
shock which killed two horses at the
saw mill, lightning struck a tele-
phone pole to which Oscar Wick was
just tying horse, attached to a de-
livery wagon. Fortunately the bolt
passed into the earth through the
pole, only portion being transmitted
to Mr.. Wick and the horse. However.
the stroke was strong enough to knock
both man and horse to the earth, in
which position they remained for
some time, too frightened to move.
Pedestrians nearby could distinctly feel
the shock as the lightning struck. Mr..
Wick is a vegetable man residing on

THREE VICTIMS Of
ACCIDENTS TO
RECOVER
Martin Flom and Philip Gum
Received at Local Hospital
Last Night.

Martin Flon. the man injured at
Lakota yesterday afternoon, as report
ed exclusively in the Evening Times
last night, was operated upon this
morning in the Deaconess hospital in
this city the foot being amputated just
above the ankle. He is resting easy
this afternoon. When seen by re-
porter today he gave some further de-
tails of the accident. 1t appears that
he was the machine man on the rig
and was, at the time of the accident,
walking on top of the separator. He
stepped on one of the board coverings
over the band cutters and it tipped
completely over, letting his foot down
into the whfrling mass of revolving
knives.
Quinn Recovering.
Another victim of threshing acct
dent is resting in one of the wards of
the hospital. He is Philip Gum of
Pisek. He was not injured as badly
as Martin Flom. but his bruises will
necessitate a few days in the hospital
He had one leg quite badly cut.

Harry Johnson, the lad almost fatal
ly shot near Lakota last week. is re-
covering very rapidly, even faster than
the most sanguine had hoped for. An
older person wounded in a like man
ner would undoubtedly have succumb-
ed to the frightful wounds, but with
strength and health on his side the
nurses had hopes of saving his life
at least. Now. however. all are sur
prised at the way the lad is picking
up.

Local Rate of Taxation For

The total assessed valuation of
property in this city for the present

city council last night for the cur

these two amounts the rate of taxa
tion is q mills. This does not, of
course. include the appropriation for
school purposes. The rate for the adj
ministration of city affairs alone COM
pares decidedly favorably with that of
other cities. Fargo, which is the near
est city in size of Grand Forks, has
an appropriation for city purposes
alone OF 34.S mills. The difference in
favor of this city being almost eight
mills. Reduced to a comparative
basis. it is clear that the administra-
ton of this city is IS per cent cheaper
than that of the city of Fargo, and

JOS. TRESkE KILLED
fOkEMAN FOR JOHN KENNEDY STRUCK DEAD By LIGHTNING
SEVERAL OTHER ACCIDENTS REPORTED

Joseph Treske, aged "a years, FORE
man of John Kennedy's threshing out
fit, which has been at work on the
farm over on Minnesota point a mile
or two. was struck and killed by light
ming shortly after 9 o'clock this MORN
ing, while taking refuge from 1.-THE
storm beneath the separator.
Death was not instantaneous, but
followed a brief minute or two of
suffering, that was evidently most in
tense
The details of the accident as re-
lated by other members of the thresh-
ing crew, all of whom had sought ref
uge under other vehicles but one, John
CASTOR, who was with Treska when he
met his death, and who was himself
most severely shocked and rendered
partially unconscious by the force of
the lightning, are agreed in the main.
1t seems that as soon as the rainfall
became SO heavy that continuance of
work was not feasible, Foreman
Treske ordered operations suspended.
All the men accordingly sought places
where they might be protected from
the rain. Treske and CASTOR, the lat
ter charge at the separator,
having removed the large belt and
placed it where it would not become
wet and slippery, crawled beneath the
separator Treske leaned with his
back against one of the wheels, while
his companion stretched out. The two
were in this position when the light
ming struck the separator, passing on
to the rim of the wheel against which
Treske was leaning, entering his body
and grounding through the feet.
The suddenness of the shock, COM
bined with it's nearness, dazed and rem
dered Treske's companion, CASTOR,
temporarily unconscious, so that he
was unable to tell what happened for
a minute or two. When he did regain
his senses. however, he says that
Treske was lying on the ground, groan-
ing and moaning in agony. CASTOR,
himself was unable to stir A minute
or two later, possibly longer, others
of those employed on the threshing
crew, appeared at the separator and
noting that Treske was in great agony

not rendered unconscious, and was
brought to his home in the city where
ne is resting easy. though the narrow
escape which he experienced would
serve to whiten the hair of most men.
He was loading some scantling on the
wagon at the time. and was few feet
from the horses. Suddenly out of the
sky the bolt came with a binding
flash, and for moment he was vision
less and dazed. He was thrown to the
ground but seemed to rally and on
looking around saw the horses lying
motionless where but moment before
they had stood. A number of people
came to his assistance and he was
sent home in a carriage. The team
was valued at $3.50 at least, one of the
animals having been purchased last
spring at $3.50. All the residences
along Sibley avenue in East Grand
Forks felt the shock from the bolt
which killed the team.

A aBADr STORM.
Several Persons and Animals Shocked
In Addition to Death of Treske.

One man killed, several severely
shocked, and number of horses dead
or severely wounded is the record of
this mornings severe electrical storm
the record, at least. so far as life is
concerned. The loss from delay to
threshing operations cannot be cal
culated in dollars and cents, but it will
be heavy.
The storm itself was of short dura,
tion in and about the city. not lasting
longer than two and half hours. Dur
Ing that period, however, quite fall of
rain was recorded. The air, also, was
heavily surcharged with electricity
and one crash of lightning followed
another in quick succession. Many
people, more timid than others, pre-
ferred to remain indoors and did not
venture outside during the height of
the storm.
