E. S. VANWALKER CANNOT M
MEMBER WHAT HAPPENED

Says He Does Remember Meeting a
Man, rs Stated last Week, but D>-s
not Know What Happened
E. S. Walker, the carrier
on Rural Route 3, who was IN.
jured Wednesday of last weel.
while on his route, was able te
take up his duties again Monday
morning.
He is still unable to recall what
happened or where, excepting al
stated in last weeks Herald.
His opinion is, that the man he
met was drunk aud in an ugly
mood and perhaps struck hin
with the piece Of lead as they
passed, the team turning short
ran into the field. The man real
izing what had happened and
fearing results, ran down the
track toward Big Stone. IL
robbery was the motive OF the
man, the horses running away
probably caused his plans to mis-
carry. The report that some
registered mail had been stolen
is not true. His mail was al
right so far as he knows.
The description of the man a.
given by Mr.. Walker was
Identical with that given by
Henry Eickman, OF the man who
was working for him, threshinx.
and who quit his job Tuesday
night: and is also the same a.
given by the two ladies who saw
the man walking down the track
toward Big StoDe about the tine
Mr.. Van Walker was injured or
shortly afterwards. The descrip.
tion given of the man killed near
Odessa Thursday morning is the
same, and number of people
are inclined to believe, that the
fellow who did the slugging kept
on down the track past Big Stone
and Ortonville, or cut across
south of these two towns, get
ting back to the track below Or.
tonville, in order to evade tho
officers should they be on tho
lookout for him. He was run
down by an engine, going east.
and instantly killed. He could
not be identified.

MILL CATCHES FIRE
A Short Circuit Formed Between
Wires-Building Catches Fire.

A Short Circuit Formed Between
Wires-Buildiny Catches Fire.
What came near beng a dis.
astrous fire, occurred at the
mill yesterday forenoon at about
11:15 o'clock. 1t was at first
supposed lightning striking the
electric wires was the cause, but
later it was discovered a short
circuit was formed between the
wires owing to the air being
heavily charged with electricity.
Engineer Ludlow was standing
ing in the engine room door way
and heard the cracking. He ran
to the dynamo to shut it off and
was quite badly shocked. A. S.
Wells, head miller could smell
smoke and ran up to the third
floor, but seeing nothing there
went to the engine room. AS he
was returning to the mill he
noticed smoke issuing from a
small hole near the wires and
seizing can of chemicals ran up
to the second floor and out onto
the roof of the driveway. In a
few MON ents he had the fire ex.
tinguished with the chemicals.
Had the fire gained few minutes
headway in the wall much dam
age would have resulted.
AS the wires leading to the
ozone cleaner were burned out
the mill was compelled to shut
down for the rest of the day un.
til new wires could be procured
from the cities.
