MRS. BUXTON HURT.
Mrs. Lou Buxton, Formerly Of This City,
in a Freight Smash-Up in S. Oak.

Mrs. L. C. Buxton, formerly of
this city, was seriously hurt in a
railroad collision at Bath, S. D., last
Saturday. She was in the caboose
of her husbands train at the time.
Conductor Buxton s train constituted
the first section of a west-bound
freight, and was awaiting orders to
proceed when the second section
crashed into the caboose and wrecked
that and the next car. Mrs. Buxton
was thrown violently forward and
was injured under some wrecked
seats. Her condition was pronounced
serious at the Aberdeen hospital, to
which she was removed as soon as
possible.
Conductor Buxton heard the train
coming from the rear and tried to
flag it, but the snow was falling
thickly and he ran and threw his
lantern into the cab of the oncom-
ing engine, which came on with
reversed levers, the slippery rails
failing to hold the train in time.
At the Buxton home in this city
no communication had been received
from their son yesterday morning,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Buxton senior are
hoping that the injury to their
daughter-in-law may not prove a
permanent one.

He has been in business at Dawson
for fifteen years, and few years
ago welded Miss Marie jackson of
this city. To this circumstance may
be attributed Mr.. Asleson's intro
duction to Redwood Falls and sub
sequent desire to cast in his lot

DEATH OF WARD ARNOLD.
Salmon Herald, Idaho,l

Salmon Herald, Idahol y
E. Ward Arnold, one of the most
popular business men of this city,
departed this life last Friday morn
ing, after an illness covering several
weeks. The immediate cause Of
death was heart failure. but Bright's
disease and a long seige of infam-
matory rheumatism were the chief
malignant factors. Mr.. Arnold was
a barber by trade. He came to
Salmon in 1908, opened shop, and
soon had a thriving trade. He was
most excellent barber, and his
kind, suave and obliging manner of
business was particularly pleasing to
all.
Deceased was born in Redwood
county, 81 years ago the 9th Of this
month. He was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Arnold who still reside
in Redwood Falls, MINI. In 1900,
November 18th, he was married in
Minnesota to Miss Nora Camp. a
daughter of Mrs. Jas. B. Mason of
this city. They have lived in Salmon
since 1908, excepting a few months
spent at the old home in Minnesota.
Their welded life has been one con-
tinued season of happiness. In 1902
Mr.. Arnold made public confession
of his faith in Christ, and was united
with the Christian church at Red
wood Falls. In Salmon, he led an
upright and exemplary life, bearing
out in daily practice the principles
of his belief. He was a regular
attendant at the Presbyterian church
Of this city. Besides the sorrow
laden wife, he leaves the parents,
three living brothers and two sisters
to mourn his untimely loss.
Ward Arnold was the embodiment
of honor and integrity. His word
was always kept, and his name
among his business associates was
good as gold. In all the affairs of

OBSERVATIONS.
AT the Capitol Other than Those by
Harlan Pert Hall.

The 35th session of the Minnesota
legislature came into being on Tues
day noon of last week when Lieut..
Gov. Eberhart called the senate to
order and the secretary of state
acted in similar capacity in the
house of representatives. The oaths
of office was administered in the
senate by Chief Justice Start and
in the house by senior Associate
Justice Brown, after which the cleo
ton for the the officials of either
branch took place.
The house naturally drew the
largest crowd, and to the writer,
who for three regular and one extra
sessions, presided at the chief clerk S
desk, it seemed rather queer for
him to preside over that branch of
the legislature for nearly an hour,
after having so long acted in the
capacity of an employee. For the
bouquets that were thrown at him
for his single hour as presiding
officer he must return his thanks
thru the columns of The GAZETTE,
and also to add that after the speak
err, Hon. Lawrence H. johnson, was
elected and took the oath of office
from the secretary of state, he could
not resist the temptation to spend
some time around the old place
where he got his first start in politi-
cal life, and where the work was
done that elevated him to the secre-
tary of states office.
1t was before the election of
speaker that he called public atten-
ton to the fact that the people were
improving, and the membership of
the legislature with them. In 1901
and 1902 there were many able men
in either branch. In 1903 there were
more and in 1905 still more, and he
stated that as he gazed at the faces
composing the house membership of
1907 he believed that the improve
ment continued. Past sessions have
resulted in beneficial legislation.
The 1907 session will result in much
more and | am inclined to the belief
that the people will get nearly all
that they ale asking for.
1t was during his incumbency of
the speakers chair that the secre-
tary of state recognized Mr.. Ben
dixen of Redwood county, and as
result that gentleman has the dis
tinction of being recognized as one
of the members of the first COM
mittee of the House. Mr.. Bendixen
was on the committee to await upon
the speaker-elect to inform him of
his election, and the gentleman from
Redwood fell into the harness like
an old legislative horse. And DUR

ing the next two legislative days
Mr.. bendixen continued to make a
favorable impression among the
members. Before the legislature is
over the farmers of Redwood coun-
ty, and the business men will have
reason to feel proud of him. He is
careful and conservative and | feel
certain will be right on all questions.
Gov. Johnson shot a 10000 word
message at the members in joint
convention on Wednesday. The only
thing he seemed to have failed to
give his views upon was the ques-
ton of county local option and the
boiler inspectorship appointment for
Redwood and Brown counties. The
former is going to be a mighty lively
subject during the present session.
From cursory canvass it is pre-
dicted that the bill will pass the
house, but a fight is booked for in
the senate, and the opponents of the
bill really think that they have the
coffin lined for it, after the Caesar
act has been accomplished, and that
they are simply waiting to screw
down the lid. Should it pass the
senate the governor will have oppor-
tunity to show where he gets off at.
The induction of the writer in
to office on Monday, Jan. 7th, and
his staff with him, was made pleas
ant by the retiring officials. Hon. P.
E. Hanson, secretary, j. J. Lomen,

the work has been rushing and many
thousands of dollars have already
