Auto Scared Team.

Messrs. A. G.. Hedin and Peter
Hong had an exciting experience last
Sunday which they would not care to
have repeated or at least do not parli-
cularly care to place themselves in the
same position which they occupied at
the time. They were on their way
back to Willmar from a trip in Mr..
Hedin's auto to Olivia and Bird
island. When on the road between
here and Svea they passed Ex-Co.
Commissioner A. M. Hedin of Lake
Lillian, who was driving a team of
horses that became frightened at the
auto. A runaway resulted but lucki-
ly the occupant of the buggy escaped
unhurt. The horses tore themselves
loose from the buggy, the pole being
broken, and ran for some distance.
They ran into barbed wire fence
and received several cuts but nothing
serious in the way of injuries. The
occupants of the auto assisted Mr..
Hedin in getting Strengthened out
after the unfortunate experience and
all congratulated themselves -apon the
fact that matters did not turn out
worse.

Horses Made a Side Trip.

Last Saturday morning while the
hired man of G. Kroonqaist of Kandi-
yohi was returning from the creamery
he left the team standing in the street
just outside of Ohsberg, Selvig &
Co.'s store while he went in to attend
to some business. The team took a
notion to have a little fun all by them
selves and started down Third street
at lively gait. Coming to the cor
ner of Becker avenue and Third street,
the wagon collided with telephone
pole, which put sudden end to the
run. The wagon box was thrown off
and ten cans of skim milk were thrown
out on the ground. Most of the milk
was sprinkled over the street and
several cans were badly'jammed. The
reach of the wagon was broken square
off and the spring seat was smashed.
The neckyoke was also broken. Be-
fore the horses had time to get away
from the wreck they were caught, with
out having sustained any injuries.
Moral: Don't leave your team united.

The victim of the accident had been
living on claim with younger
brother, who was with him at the time
and both were at work bucking hay.
The horses which were hitched to the
hay bucker gave sudden start and
George, who happened to be on it, fell
over and became caught in the teeth.
His right leg was badly cut and two
Of the main arteries were severed

COMMITTED SUICIDE
Minneapolis Man Supposed to Have
Shot Himself and May be 1t. Bot
tom Of Green Lake.

just as we go to press the news
reaches us of a case of suicide COM
mitted at Green Lake last night. A
man had arrived from Minneapolis on
Sunday and registered at the Hotel
Tepeetonka. AS near as we can learn
his name was H.H. Fuller. From other
information at hand it is thought his
home is at 22nd street north, Minnea-
polls.
Fuller had engaged a row boat
shortly after supper last evening and
not being found in his room at the ho-
tel this morning guests at once became
suspicious that something was wrong.
A search was instituted and couple
OF boys reported the discovery of a
boat that had drifted to Green Lake
beach. In it were found the mans
outside clothing containing his money
and gold watch, besides other val
nables. An empty revolver case was
also found, all of which indicates that
it was a case of suicide by shooting
or drowning. The man had acted
rather strangely while at the hotel,
which fact strengthens the suicide the
Ory.
The Minneapolis police we're notified
and efforts were instituted to reach
the mans relatives. At this writing
the body had not been found and
search is being made for any possible
clue. The man is described as being
tall and slender and of a sandy CON-
plexion. He is about IS years of age.
Coroner Frost was notified of the
affair and also brother at Minnea-
polls. No further particulars are at
hand at this writing.
