LUCKY nE IS ALIVE
Man Riding in Freight Car
is Squeezed by Load
Of Lumber

While switching a car of dressed
lumber, which was billed for Willard,
in the local railroad yards Wednesday
morning, the train crew became
suddenly aware Of the fact that there
was someone in the car suffering from
injuries, by the cries for help that
came therefrom It was necessary to
cut hole at the end Of the box-car
to get the fellow out, as his legs were
under the lumber and the rest of
his body was jamed in one corner of
the car. On being examined by a
physician, it was found that although
his legs were quite badly crushed, no
bones were broken.
The man gave his name as Kurt
Muehle, and said that he had Travelled
in this car from jamestown, getting
out at Staples and then re. entering
after getting victuals. When the car
struck the other cars on the side
track, the lumber slide over to the
end in which he was, with the above
given result. The man was gwen a
railroad ticket and left the city for
St. Cloud enroute to St. Paul. He
stated that he had no relatives in
America, but that he made his home
in Chicago.

ST0Lf1WfNTY DOLLARS
Burelar Enters Residence
Of Chas. Gravel WedneS-
day Night

A buglar entered the home of
Charles Gravel, corner of Fourth
street and First avenue northeast,
Wednesday night and got away with
$40, without arousing the family. 1t
is thought that he entered the house
sometime before II p. m. through the
side door of the kitchen, which was
lett unlocked for one OF the boys, who
had gone to the train. When the
young man returned home he locked
the door and went up to bed, without
noticing anything unusual.
Mr.. Garvel awOke at about 3 O'Clock
in the morning, and on looking about
the room discovered that his clothes
were missing. He then knew that
someone must have visited his room
during the night. A search took him
to the kitchen where he found his
pants on the floor; but look through
the pockets as he would, his pocket
book containing $40 could not 'be
found. The back door OF the kitchen,
leading into the shed was not locked
however, and as the key was. still
on the inside of the door 1t was easy
to see that the burglar hid quietly left
the house through that door.
The police was notified of the
burglary, but there is very little
likelihood that the culprit will be
captured, as no one saw any stranger
about the premises

PnOT0GRAPn LEAVES
Carl Broden Doesn't Tell
Anybody About it
Either

Carl Broden, the Broadway khoto-
gapher, has left town, supposedly for
St. Paul, where he stated to his en-
ploye, H. Colombo, that he would
start photograph gallery at 81
Atwater street. Incidently most all
the gallery fixtures and supplies have
also disappeared. All that remains to
the gallery is a few odds and ends,
show case, counter, and some pictures
and picture frames There is
mortgage of $125, which he left
unpaid. Also several accounts about
town, averaging each about $40,
which are not satisfied.
It looks very much as though he
had gone for good, as Mr.. Colombo
has written three or four times to the
address given, but has so far failed to
hear from Mr. Broden. A short time
ago Mr.. Broden made proposition to
Colombo that the latter run the local
gallery for him, while he would open
a gallery in St. Paul. The proposition
looked good to Colombo and he ageed
to do SO. Since that time Broden
has packed his gallery supplies and
the best of his fixtures, box at a
time, shipping each below as he
packed it. On Wednesday of last
week he left for his new location, tell
ing Colombo to ship the show case
and certain counter the next day.
Even then the employe did not
suspect anything. It was not until
three or four days after that that he
finally realized that his erstwhile
employer had gone for good, and that
he was beat out Of about $40, which
was due him. The show case and the
counter were not shipped, however,
and will help towards satisfying part
of the unpaid bills.
The gallery seemed to be doing a
good business, and at one time before
Colombo started in, Mr.. Broden had
two assistants. These claim that
Broden still owe them, one in the
sum of $40.
1t is very likely that the gallery will
be closed either today or tomorrow.
SPECIAL WATCHMAN AT N. P.
YARDS.
Three special watchmen were put on
at the N. P. yards Wednesday. They
are Phil Guerin, Hub Freisinger, and
Chas. Hershey. 1t is stated that there
is more box car breaking and stealing
at this point and along the line than
ever before. The hoboes that strike
the city from now on will be kept on
the move. 1t is claimed tat the real
harvest field workers have already
| gone west, and that this latter class Is
mostly composed of the fellows who
hold up the harvest hands in different
| ways.

DR.. J. G. Mlllspaugh returned
Wednesday from trip to Los Angeles,
California, where he was called by
the serious illness of brother. He
went there by the southern route,
passing through Salt Lake City, Utah.
DR.. Millspaugh remained in Los
Angeles about ten days, leaving there
for a visit in San Francisco. He says
that when he left, his brother was
much improved and would pull
through all right. He also visited in
Portland, Seattle, and Victoria and
other points in British Columbia. He
says that on this trip the tHh1n for
three days passed through a country of
very fine scenery; something way
beyond his expectations. The big fire
did not strike that part of British
Columbia over which he travelled,
and he did not get any closer than
fifty miles to the scene of devastation.
DR.. Millspaugh enjoyed the trip very
much.

WATER PLANT.

Brainerd, Mimi, Aug 5.-The city
council took the first definite steps
toward acquiring the waterworks
plants Of the Minnesota Waterworks
company Monday evening, when it
voted to instruct the city attorney and
special counsel to commence con-
demnation proceedings. The move
ment to acquire the plant was bitterly
fought by the Socialist members Of
the city council, who demanded that
the city parallel the existing mains
and make no effort to acquire the
present plant. The acton followed a
spirited debate, every business man
but one on the council voting for con-
demnation. The council also voted to
issue $12O, 600 in 5 per cent bonds to
erect power plant to run the water
works and electric light plants and
also improve the electric light and
water plants if the latter is acquired.
The question of accepting the plant at
the appraised figures will have to be
submitted to the people after the
Iappraisement. The council also asked
for bids on various plants, including
steam, producer, gas and oil burner
plants These bids are to be opened
