INTERNAL STRIFE:
Among the Stockholders of
 (. (. "A. & E. Co.
ABOUT LOCATION OF MILL
UFbanette Members Contend
 for Removal to That Bafq

The stockholders of the Carroll County Milling 6 Elevator Co. held meeting in Green Forest Monday for the purpose of dis cussing the future plans of the company.
 It seems that there lacks con- siderable of being a good under standing among the members of the company as to how the business of the company is to be divided up between Green Forest and Urbanette.
 When the company formerly known as the Green Forest Mill ing Co.,, was recognized and in- corporated last spring it was agreed that the two principal places Of business would be Green Forest and Urbanette. While there was nothing said in the articles of incorporation about it, it seems that the parties who took stock in the company on ac- count of the business relations at Urbanette, understood that the mill woGld be moved to that point and the Green Forest end would be taken care of by an elevator, and if deemed advisable an ele- vator would also be erected a5 Urbanette.
 In the final adjustment in the matter of taking stock, however, the majority of stock fell into hands of Green Forest citizens, who have not seen it to their in- teIest to have the mill moved. Work was started several weeks ago on an elevator for the comp any at Urbanette, but it was sus- pended under direction of the company, and it now appears that q better understanding will have to be had among the stock

A young man of our village wished to spend an evening with one of his girl friends and il order to learn if it would be agreeable he wrote a note, called a small boy, gave him the note and a dime and told him to de- liver the note and bring back an answer. In little while the boy returned, handed back the dime and said: "She said it would be all right. You can come-but she don't need the money"

Poor Service on Iron Mountain.


 The passenger train Tuesday night came in some two hours late and without any lights in the main coach. This coach, which is for ladies, is supposed to be lighted by electricity, but the lights were not working last night, and the passengers had to grope their way around in the darkness as best they could. The service on the White River Division is said to be the worst on the entire Iron Mountain sys- tenn. m.-Batesville Guard.

Alden, April ia stranger was run
over by freight train on the Milwau-
kee road here Saturday at about noon
and both legs were cut off Just below
the knees. He was also injured about
the head and there is little chance for
him to recover. His name is not known,
but it is understood the injured man is
from Pennsylvania. He is about forty
five years of age and has been a work
ingman, but what his business has been
is not known. He had been seen about
the village the day before and it is a
mystery as to whether he was riding on
the train and fell off OF whether he got
in front of the train and was hurt ac-
cidentally or attempted suicide. He ID

SPRING EATABlES
Strawberries and Gar6en Truck Com
inc in Freely.

From Fridays Daily.
During the last few days the quality
of straw berries in the local market has
improved considerably, but the stock as
whole is still poor. Dealers say that
the heavy rains in the south the last
they are unable to stand transportation.
Some Mississippi berries are coming in
and are in better condition than those
from louisiana The Florida supply is
about over, and not many more are
looked from that state.
Lemons continue very scarce and the
market is strong, the price ranging from
So TO $3.50, according to the size of the
lots. Owing to the shortage of cars at
California shipping points, the growers
are using the cars for orange shipments
and holding the lemons back for warmer
weather. Lemons can be kept to better
advantage than oranges.
The market on oranges continues
strong with the demand, especially for
desirable sizes, in excess of the supply.
While dealers say that there has been
a good movement of apples during the
week trades has been quieter than usu-
al.
Asparagus is beginning to arrive quite
freely, but the demand is limited at the
prices asked. Green beans are in fairly
liberal supply. Receipts of celery are
still large, but the demand continues
very active at the low prices. Lettuce,
showing quality, is again in light supply
and good demand Cucumbers are at
fair supply and at easier prices. Pie
plant is arriving, and the demand is i'm
proving. Parsley is in light supply.
The quality of tomatoes arriving is
much improved and stock brings better
prices.

TRAIN CRASHED INTO ENGINE
Serious Wreck on Great Western al
Randolph Yesterday.
From SATURDAYS Dailv-

Chicago Great Western train which
is due at Rochester, at 1910 was
wrecked at Randolph yesterday and
nearly caused the death of several pas
sengers. As it was no one was killed,
but number sustained serious in
juries, just how serious it is not yet
known. IT seems that the noon train
was side tracking for through train
pass in a short time. The train was
run onto the side track and Just as
the rear coach neared an engine stand
inc on the next track, the hind truck
was suddenly derailed from some canse
or other and crashed owed toward the
locomotive. This was the only thing
that kept the ear right side up but
it made Il dangerous brace, for the
entire end of the coach was caved in
At the time of the accident there
were about twenty-five or thirty peo-
pie occupying the seats and they were
thrown into great confusion by the
crash. On account of the tipping of
the derailed coach the passengers were
lurched together in the lower end, and
one man said that he found himself
crawling along the ceiling in his effort
to get out. The glass and woodwork
was smashed to splinters, as were the
seats which the people were occupying.
At first it was Thought that several
deaths would be the result of the
crash, but as the passengers were dis
entangled from the debris it was found
that there were no fatalities.
DIR. and Mrs. Grassle of Minneapo-
lis, were both severely injured inter
nally, and they were taken from the
train when it arrived at Redwing and
hurried to hospital. Dr. Grassie may
not live.
C. f. Trip, the Great Western
agent at Pine Island, who was on the
train, had his limb broken and sew
eral ligaments mangled.
J. S. Lee of Spring Valley had sew
eral ribs fractured, aud when he pass
ed through this city was in great pain
These were the most serious cases,
but all the passengers in the car were
more or less shaken up and bruised

conducting switching operations, and
had Just turned a switch, and as he at

BIacksmiths, HOrseshOOers
and WagOnmakers.
WILL TAKE EFFECT June i,
Largely Attended Meeting Held in
ManketO Last Night; Forty
Four New Members.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The Blacksmiths, Horseshoers and
WaoOnmakers' association held a meet
ing at the city hall last evening, attend
ed by more than hundred men en-
gagged in these lines of business. They
were nearly all from out of the city,
coming from the different Southwestern
Minnesota towns.
A schedule of prices was adopted, to
take effect June lst. The price lists
will be hung in the places of business
of the members, in order that their
patrons may familiarize themselves with
the changes. The price of shoeing horses
is raised from 20 cents for resetting to
25 cents, from 40 cents for putting on a
new shoe of the common pattern to so
cents, and from 60 cents for putting on
a neverslip shoe to IS cents. The changes
in this line are slight when it is consid-
cred that the prices now in vogue are
the same as charged twenty years ago,
while the prices of labor and material
have made such decided advances.
Heretofore the charge for putting in
new wagon tongue has been $l.75
to 1925, but the price of lumber has
advanced so much, besides the price of
iron and the cost of labor, that an adj
vance to So was made. All other work
has been advanced so that living profits
may be made.
Another thing that the association is
DESTROYS of bringing about is the pas
sage of law requiring that all ap-
prentices will hereafter have to pass an
examination as to their ability to carry
ON the work of the trade they seek to
enter, if it is horseshoeing. This bill
is still before the legislature, and the
committee ON legislation had nothing to
report beyond what was reported at the
last meeting.
Forty-four new members were taken
in. 1t is hoped to get practically all
engaged in these lines of work in, so
there may not be cutting of prices by
competent men.
Another meeting will be held in this
city on the last Thursday in May. After
that it is expected to organize county
associations, as the general one is get
ting to be so large as to be unwleldy:
and it is expensive for the members to
90 so far to attend the meetings. The
hall last night was packed to it's full ca
pacity. Those who could not return
home on night trains went today

WOULD WRECK A TRAIN
JULIUS GUSE HAD A GRUDGE
AGAINST SECTION BOSS.
Placed Tie on Milwaukee Tracks, But
Luckily No Accident Occurred;
He is Under Arrest.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Because he was angry at a Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad section
foreman, Julius Guse, resident of Owa-
tonna, took revenge by placing rail
road tie across the main tracks at a
point little over mile south of Med
ford and leaving it there. Fortunately
no harm was done although an early
morning passenger train struck the tie
and carried it for several hundred feet
along the track.
When it was reported that some one
had placed tie across the tracks two
of the railroads detectives, Mr.. Riley of
Austin and Mr.. Daugherty of Minneapo-
lis, were detailed to investigate the mat
ter. They spent several days the first
of this week collecting evidence with the
result that julius Guse was arrested
Tuesday charged with the crime. He was
taken before Judge III. E. johnson in the
municipal court Tuesday afternoon and
plead guilty to the charge and was bound
over to the next term of the district
court to await the action of the grand
jury. His bond was placed at 5000 and
this was later furnished.
The crime that the prisoner plead
guilty to is considered a very serious
one, inasmuch as it might have resulted
in terrible loss of life. The prisoner
states that he had trouble with the Sec
ton boss of the Milwaukee division I'M
der whom he was employed and who was
working his crew of men between Owa.
tonna and Medford. The trouble be-
tween Guse and the foreman resulted in
the former losing his position. This made
Guse angry and week ago last Sat
urday evening, March 80, and late in the
evening he decided to take his revenge
on the foreman by placing tie across
the tracks. The tie was evidently plac,
there after the late Milwaukee passenger
train, southbound, passed over the divis-
ion, for that train did not report strik-
ing it. The early morning northbound
through Chicago passenger train, how
ever, struck the big tie. The pilot of the
engine came in contact with the timber
first and tore a big hole out of it, after
which it was twisted in such position
that instead of laying across the tracks
| it passed in under the enegine and thus
humping from side to side as each car
struck it, the timber was carried for
several hundred feet. 1t is considered re-
markable that the train was not wreck
ed.
The striking of the tie was reported
to the section foreman and it was later
removed from the tracks and the mat.
ter reported to headquarters.
Julius Guse is married man. Up to
the present incident he has always borne
good reputation and was considered a
good laborer.
