CRUSHED BY WHEELS
Brakeman on Freight Train Misses
His Hold and in Consequence
Loses Six of His Toes.
Is Taken to the Northwestern Hos
pltal, Where DR.. cooney At
tends to His Injuries.

Adolph Hedlund of Prentice, Wis,
a brakeman on the northbound
freight which started to pull out of
Princeton at about $3.50 O'Clock on
Friday afternoon, narrowly escaped
being cut in two while attempting to
board the train as it left the station.
Hedlund made an effort to climb
onto a boxcar, slipped and fell be-
meath it. The air valve was brought
into operation and the train stopped
as quickly as possible, but in at
tempting to reach the depot platform
Hedlund's toes were crushed by the
wheels. Had he not made a rapid
movement he would in all probability
have been instantly killed.
The unfortunate man was placed in
a wagon upon mattress and removed
to the Northwestern hospital, where
DR.. Cooney, the Great Northern rail-
way company's surgeon at this point,
found it necessary to amputate four
toes on the right foot and two on the
left.
On Saturday morning Hedlund was
transported to St. Paul and placed
under the care of the Great Northern IS
chief surgeon.

Princeton Team Sizes Up Elk River

Since the Princeton high school
football team defeated the East Side
high school team, the Elk River
squad has shown that instead of hav-
ing only one ''Pike'' on the team, it
is actually composed of some ten or
eleven ''pikers" who have taken the
"easy way" and disbanded in order,
presumably, to escape being defeated
by the local eleven next Saturday.
The management had scheduled two
games with said team of "pikers, !"
the first game to take place at Elk
River and the second at Princeton.
The Princeton team fulfilled it's part
of the contract and went to Elk River
a week ago last Saturday and, be it
said to their discredit, were defeated
by the score of 16 to 0. Elk River
then figured on repeating the stunt
next Saturday until the Princeton
boys defeated the fast East Side team,
after which Elk Rivers only saliva
ton was to disband. By so doing
they have lowered the standard of
high school football and, besides,
have shown that they have large
yellow streak tucked away. Whether
the Princeton squad can secure a team
to play them next Saturday is doubt
full and due credit is given Elk River
for breaking up the schedule and
quitting without giving the Princeton
boys a chance for retaliation. Oh,
you "pikers!' n. S. A. A.

PRINCETONS ON TOP
High School Boys Redeem Themselves
by Defeating the Strong and
Agile East Side Team.
At Every Point Doane's SQUAD Shows
Superiority in Its Strategic
Moves on the Gridiron.

The fair grounds in this village last
Saturday were the scene of a hard
fought game of football between the
East Side high school of Minneapolis
and the Princeton high school, and
our boys won.
To start the game the East Side
kicked off to Princeton and by line
bucks by Jesmer, Berg and Roos the
ball was put down a short distance
from East Sides goal. Princeton, by
excellent use of the forward pass, put
the ball on East Sides 4-yard line
and Berg was showed over for the
hrst and what proved to be the only
score of the game, which netted
Princeton 5 points Roos failed to
kick goal.
In the second half Princeton kicked
off to East Side and the teams fought
back and forth, neither side having
any advantage until an East Side
player got away with forward pass
and was stopped by Berg on Prince
toms 3-yard line. East Side lost the
ball and Princeton, by magnificent
showing of the ''new game" got the
ball down the field but lost on a
tumble
East Side could do nothing with our
defense and the game ended with the
ball in Princeton's possession on it's
own 45-yard line.
Too much praise cannot be given
W. G. Doane, Princeton's coach, for
his fine work. After the defeat at
Elk River he drilled the team to per-
lection in the use of forward passes
and the fake plays that fool the op-
posing players, and beat team that
had defeated Elk River.
The tackling of Angstman and
Robideau at ends were fine and both
players by their fast work broke up
the plays of East Side before thew
were started.
Hull and Umbehocker at tackle
played great offensive game, often
tearing holes in the opposing line for
their team mates.
Fullwiler and Pohl at guards played
good game on both offensive and
defensive plays.
Wikeen at center played a fine
game and time and time again broke
through the line and got the oppos-
ing quarter before he had given the
ball to his half back.
Jesmer and Roos at the halfback
positions played their parts like
old veterans and carried the ball for
repeated gains, tackling the opposing
players and often breaking up the
plays of East Side before they had
fairly started.
Galley at quarter ran his team in
excellent style and could hardly be
equalled for his GOODNESS and head
work.

Sells His Mechanical Mule,

County Commissioner G. E. Erick-
son of Milaca has sold his automo-
bile. It seems that Erick, despite his
strenuous efforts, failed to "domesti-
cate" the obsteperous devil cart. It
would 60 backward when he wanted it
to go forward and vice versa. he
described it to US as ''the essence of
rambunctiousness-the acme of con-
trariety," and said that it was, if
possible, wilder than the great Afri-
can bongo, which Roosevelt is now
pursuing in the jungles.
So, after three or four chapters of
accidents pertaining to the machine
had found their way into the local
papers, Erick decided to dispose of it
and discovered man who had been
in the broncho-busting business
willing to buy it at bargain price
;S251.9S. We are, however, a little
ahead Of our story. The circumstance
which persuaded Erick to get the me-
.chanical mule off his hands quickly
was as follows:
Erick asked his father-in-law to
take a constitutional spin with him,
telling the old gentleman, who was a
,trifle wary, that he had mastered the
intricacies of the machine and was
perfectly familiar with it's peculiari-
ties. The old gentleman consented
and away they went, starting very
slowly. Erick gradually increased
the speed until they were scorching
over the country roads bumpety bump
at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
"''Tis triae swift for me-" declared
the old gentleman and Erick tried to
slow up. The mechanical mule, how
ever, refused to respond and con-
tinued it's rush forward.
"We'll turn into this meadow, said
Erick, land maybe I can stop her. "
Down in the meadow they went and
Erick ran the machine in circles while
he monkeyed with the stopping gear,
but it was all to no purpose-the auto
would neither slack up nor stop. At
last the steering apparatus refused to
respond and the machine ran amuck
of stump, tearing it up by the roots
and scattering the occupants over the
greensward. When Erick's father-in-
law gained his feet he remarked,
Erick, my boy, there is no reason
whatever in your going so far from
home to do stump pulling. You
would do me a favor by clearing
that piece of cut-over land that I
,own."
In the meantime the machine rushed
ahead and became stalled in bog,
from whence it was pulled home by
four horses the following day. Erick
and his father-in-law hired a farmers
team to return upon this "auspicious' -
occasion.
And this is why Erick sold his me-
~chanical mule.
