After the applause in the galleries had
died out and the vice president had
warned the audience against applause,
Mr.. Patterson remarked:
IT will not reply in any way to the last
utterance of the senator from South Car

Mr. Patterson then took up criminal
assaults and lynchings and read statistics
showing that there had been 70 lynch
ings in 1896. Thirty-four of these, he said,
were for criminal assaults, and this num-
Der did not bear out the impression made
prevalent by the constant denunciation
Of the crime especially when it was real

the stake.
Mr.. Patterson did not justify this, but
explained that it occurred in a sparsely
settled section of the state. He indorsed
the presidents message condemning mob
violence.

Mr. Money again interrupted to quote
from memory a statement in one Of
President Roosevelt's books entitled
"Roughing IT, in which the president
justified the lynching of horse thieves

Gust. Swanson of JohnsonviIIe In
stantly Killed by Shotgun
Accident.
Loaded Gun in Wagon Goes Off
Kills Swanson and Wounds
Oscar Stark.

Gust. Swanson, an old resident of
Johnsonville township, was instantly
killed by the accidental discharge of
a shotgun on Thanksgiving day.
The tragedy occurred on, the farm
formerly owned by Auditor Larson
of this city, at the Thanksgiving
gathering at the home Of Peter
Hanson, who is living on the farm
as tenant.
Mr.. Swanson is about 65 years of
age. and this winter went to live at
the Hanson farm. Mr.. Hanson hav-
ing been brought up by the Swan
sons, who have no children of their
own. After their Thanksgiving din
ner, which was shared by the An
drew Stark family who live in that
vicinity, and others, the men and
boys were amusing themselves shoot
ing at target, using two shotguns.
These were carelessly laid in the
bottom of a wagon in the Hanson
yard, with the muzzles resting on
the end-board, and worst of all, as
the event proved, one Of the guns
loaded. Mr.. G.. Swanson was pas
sing the end Of the wagon contain
ing the guns, with young Oscar
Stark closely behind him, when
there was report followed by the
fall of the older man, who had re-
ceived the main charge Of shot in
the left breast. at distance of
about ten feet, and who died almost
instantly. Young Stark also re-
ceived couple Of shot in one of his
shoulders, but the wound was not
dangerous. The funeral was held
from the Swedish church in Spring
dale last Sunday. Auditor Larson
speaks of Mr.. Swanson, who was his
neighbor for many years, as a kind
man and good neighbor. He is sur
vived by a widow who is the only
near relative.
The generally accepted theory OF
the accident is that the gun was
discharged by being in someway
Jared off the end-board, the fall
causing the cartridge to explode.

Married Fifty Years.

Last Friday evening, Noy. 22d, a
surprise was sprung on Mr.. and
Mrs. j. S. Towle by their many
friends. The occasion was the cele-
bration Of the 5Oth anniversary Of
the wedding Of Mr.. and Mrs. Towle.
The guests arrived in the early
evening loaded with plenty Of good
things to tickle the palate and also
to fill the pocket book, Mr.. Notion
presenting Mr.. Towle with a we'll
filled purse. Among those who
were present was Mrs. Towle's Sis
ter, Mrs. Vining of Sioux Rapids,
who was the only one present who
was at their wedding.
The above from the Wabasso
Standard will be found of interest
to many Of Mr.. Towle's acquaint-
ances throughout the county, as
Joshua is probably the oldest inhab-
liant of New Avon township, in
point of residence, having been cleo
ted chairman of the first town board
of that township and since that time
holding the Office of town clerk for
rs years, notary public and district
clerk IL years, which is probably the
record of the county at least. Mr..
and Mrs. Towle were both born in
Maine and have lived in New Avon
township for 81 years. Joshua is
pretty spry for a man Of 70. but con-
fesses to that age, and he ought to
know.

ablaze the whole distance, and there

DEATH OF T. W. CASTOR

years after his first location here.
Judge Evans, who was nephew
of Mr.. Castor, received paper pub

the territory covered by their lines.
The action of the directors of the
rural company was to balance the
account for their stockholders, as
far as possible, by collecting SIM
liar toll from Minnesota Central
patrons who use the rural lines.
It is up to the Individual subscrib-
ers to pay for these connections or
not, and doubtless some of them will
decline to pay the additional tee.
So far as business men are con-
cerned, none of them can afford to
be without rural connections, and
we presume most of them will take
their medicine and call it good.
Last Saturday a conference was
held by some of the rural stock
holders, relative to their attitude to
the new tariff. We are informed
that resolution was passed at this
meeting, asking the directors of the
rural company to pay the additional
fee of Is cents per month for each
patron out of the expense fund of
the company. One of the directors
informs us that this request will I'M
doubtedly be acted upon at the an
nual meeting in March, but that the
directors do not feel justified in
taking such action in the meanwhile.

A Quiet thanksgiving Day.

Redwood Falls people generally
observed Thanksgiving day as a day
for family reunions, rest and recre-
alton. The attendance at the Chris
tian church union service and at the
Episcopal service was not as large as
it should have been, the serious mat
ter of getting an especially good din
ner demanding the attention of many
house-mothers. Rev. R. F. Cham
bers' sermon at the union meeting
was an interesting recounting of the
blessings enjoyed by the American
people. the preamble being an his
torical picture of the first Thanks
giving day celebration of the pill
grims. A strong presentation of the
advance made in this country along
financial, educational and temper
ance lines since 1880, put the items
for which we as nation should offer
thanksgiving in very practical way.
In the afternoon good crowd
witnessed the football game at Lake
view Park, and pronounced it good
game, the two sides being so evenly
balanced that neither side scored
during the game. The gate receipts
were about S35. and the high school
athletes are thankful they have
wiped out a deficit in their finances.
