MET WITH ACCIDENT
FROZEN TODEATH
Carl Kruse Found Frozen to Deatt
Near ElIendale
Started from Town at $3.50 in the Afternoon
Abandons Buggy and In Attempt to Mount
Horse II Is Thought He Was Kicked on
Head and Left Senseless.

Carl Kruse was found frozen to death
on the prairie three and half miles
southwest of Glendale Monday. He
was living alone on the old VIM. Scott
farm and had been to town on Saturday.
Feeling that his stock should be fed he
started home about $3.50 in the after
noon. The house is near the Milwaukee
track. After striking the railroad
crossing it seems he followed the rail-
road and soon got stuck with his buggy.
He unhitched the horse and apparently
tried to mount him, when it is thought
the animal kicked him on the head, as
there was wound on one side of the
face. 1t is not thought he recovered
consciousness and froze to death from
exposure. The horse was found at a
straw stack near by quietly eating.
The unfortunate man was within ninety
rods of the house when the accident oc-
Cured. He was well wrapped and
could easily reached home but for the
accident.
The remains were taken to Glendale
and were shipped last night to st.
James, Minn., where he has a sister.

Letter from Denmark.

Editor The Oakes Times: We thank
you very much for the notices you pub
lished about us when we left Oakes.
We also thank the Odd Fellows, Yeo-
men and Woodmen for their kind re-
membranes of us after we left.
can tell you that we got safely all
the way through our long fifteen days
journey, and were all well when we got
here but were pretty we'll tired out on
the latter part of our trip. We only
had one stormy day on the Atlantic
Ocean and that was on the fourth day
of November. The water came up so
high the passengers could not go on the
deck that whole day for if they did they
would have been washed like the sea-
men were. We were nearly all sick
going over the North Sea which took
us twenty-six hours to cross. It was
stormy all the way over but we got
through all right. We arrived in
Randers, Denmark, on the twelfth of
November, early on the morning at six
o'clock.
Best regards to all our friends and a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year to you all.

"When T. M. Roberts, the supply
man, of Minneapolis, failed some years
ago, people were surprised to learn that
he owed manufacturers large amounts
for goods. He always sold for cash
and it was supposed that he bought his
goods for cash. Now comes the Com
mercial Bulletin with statement that
Sears, Roebuck & Co. of Chicago, owe
something over $11, 900, 900 to trades-
men, customers, employees and in open
accounts. The firm has been trying to
sell s., 900, 900 preferred stock for some
months and has not yet met with very
good success. The firm has been Of
fering to take deposits from customers
all over the, country and pay interest on
same, and has probably secured large
amount Of money, as the Bulletin shows
they owe customers and employees

proposition for farmers to loan money
to concerns hundreds Of miles away,
and ab,ut whom they know so little,
but it seems some do it,

The Snow Blockade.

The snow blockade of the past week
has been worse for Oakes than any
time during the winter. Last week
we received mail from the east at least
once a day, but this week no eastern
mail arrived in the city since Saturday,
and the tieup on the east and west lines
were complete until Tuesday when the
Northern Pacific got snow plow
through in the afternoon. The pas
senger got through late in the night
but brought in nothing but local mail.
The line is now open, however, and it is
expected that the regular of last night
would bring in mail and express.
The 500 Line has been almost at a
standstill since the storm of Saturday.
The two passengers are stuck in the
hills west Of Kuhn and rotary has
been at work the past two days
clearing the track. All the east mail
appears to be hung up at Hankinson.
A snow plow worked this way to Oakes
yesterday, and the rotary was expected
in last night. This will give clear
sailing and a train with the delayed
mail is expected at noon today. Trains
are running on the west end from
Bismarck to Wishek.
The Northwestern has been doing
business all the time. The Saturday
night train did not get in until Sunday
afternoon, but since then trains have
,;been getting through, although little
belated. The north line of the N. P.
was not able to get train through
until yesterday. If good weather pre-
walls the trains will all be running to-
day as usual.
The storm of Saturday was occasioned
from the high wind. A stiff breeze set
in from the north early in the forenoon
and the loose snow in finding place Of
shelter made it rather uncomfortable
until next mornig when the wind had
subsidized.
Later-More snow this morning and
a stiff breeze from the northwest cuts
off our east mail service for several
days to come.

Murder at Aberdeen.

sAdolph Welsh, an employee of the
EcGlachlin Candy Factory at Aberdeen
was shot and killed Tuesday evening
by Orthar Huff, negro. Huff shot
five times, three balls taking effect.
Welsh died an hour afterwards.
The negro made out the back door
and escaped, but was captured yester-
day near James, where he was almost
frozen to death. He had sought safety
in hay stack and to keep from freez'
ing evidently had fired the stack. He
was taken in by the owner of the hay
ara later it was discovered he was the
murderer.
The officers here were warned from
Aberdeen to look out for the negro late
Tuesday night.

Jury Disagreed, Case Dismissed.

The jury disagreed in the second trial
of j. H. Jesson for conducting an
auction sale in the city without a
license. The case went to the jury
Thursday night and all night they
wrestled with the problem and reported
to Magistrate Wickersham at nine
O'Clock Friday that there was no
chance of coming to an agreement.
The jury was Immediately discharged.
It is understood that the difference
in opinion of the twelve men was about
evenly divided.
The case has been argued pro and con
among the citizens ever since it came
on the docket. The auctioneer had a
state license and Mr.. lesson has con-
tract to show that the goods were
turned over to the auctioneer to dispose
of them in any manner he saw fit.
After the arrest of Mr.. Jesson the
auctioneer lit out, and the contention
of the defendant was that he did not
auction goods, did not own the goods
and that the ordinance governing the
same was in conflict with the state law
and unconstitutional. The case might
have been operative against the auc-
tioneer but not against Mr.. lesson.
Court was called Saturday morning
and the city dismissed the action.
There are several license ordinances on
the books that should either be made
to stand the test of law, or be repealed.
They are not enforced, hence are dead
letter on the ordinance book.
