The Hector Enterprise says that
young Herbert Maschke dropped a
three-corner file out of his pocket,
stepped on it, and ran it lengthwise
into his foot fully four inches. In
attempting to remove the file the
latter broke and it became neces-
sary to apply chloroform to the boy
to jerk out the last two inches of
the file.
Mankato has a sensational mystery.
Every evening for months, just as
twilight deepens into darkness, a
white horse appears drawing a yell
low buggy in which sits yelled
woman. Recently large number
of people saw the apparition. This
comes from the Free Press and Of
course must be so. The editor is
doubtless affected with pleasant pipe
dreams.
There is Frank Gerstmann, J. w.
Hopfenspirger, Julius c. Albrecht,
A. V. Readon and M. S. Tolman of
Morgan. There is bunch of fisher
men. They went down to Lake
Jefferson, LeSueur county, one day
recently, and threw in their hooks.
Great sport was had with the fnny
tribe inhabiting the waters of that
lake, and when the party returned
home the members had 1000 large
mouth black bass, $50 pickerels, one
pike, and three large whale. And
Mel. Tolman isn't saying much about
the harvest, either.
Mrs. Charlotte O. Van Cleve of
Minneapolis, oldest pioneer, cele-
brated her eighty-seventh birthday
July LIST, and she is still, as she
approaches the nineIies, we'll and
deeply interested in the busy life
that surges around her, tho she can
no longer take part in it and can
touch the stream in but few places.
Mrs. Van Cleve is able to go about
the house with a cane, and when
the weather is fair she is taken out
doors in wheel chair. AS she
passes along the street there are
many to greet her, some whose faces
are wholly unfamiliar to her, some
which seem but replicas of half
forgotten features.
Granite Tribune: Geo. Olds tells
of an experience Ben. Nelson had
out at Minnetonka while attending
the pharmacists convention. 1t
seems a large party were about to
take a boat ride and were awaiting
the arrival of the boat when sud-
denly the platform upon which they
stood gave way and all were pre-
cipitated into the lake, but by the
exercise of great presence of mind
Ben grabbed a post, preventing be-
coming immersed and was able to
rescue at least two women who
were less fortunate, and therefore
wears a hero's medal. The
Marten fatality by drowning up
near SlssetOn was indeed pathetic
and everyone will deeply sympathize
with Mr.. Marten in the loss of his
wife and children there. His father
and mother, accompanied by their
surviving son, passed thru here
Tuesday on their way to Wood Lake
on their return from the funeral.
1t is always sad to part with a mem
Der of the family, but when every
member goes to an inevitable doom
in an instant the tragedy becomes a
sorrow uncomfortable.
