MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
OF MAMRE THRESHERMAN.

Where is Carl j. Stanghelle Of
Mamre? The police would like to
know, the Advance Thresher com.
pany would like to know and his
relatives would like to know. Mr..
Stanghelle was in Willmar Thurs.
day attending to the details con.
nected with his purchase of new
Advance thresher, and he was seer
around town up till about $50 IN
the evening. Then he disappeared,
and in spite of the most thoro
search the police have failed to To-
cate him. 1t was thought for
a while that he had met with foul
play, and there are people who still
believe that, but the majority seem
to think that he left for the west in
the evening, altho they cannot give
any reason for this move on his
part. The conductor on the west
bound passenger Thursday nigh
claims he sold ticket to a person
answering the description given
him, that the person first got a
ticket for Pennock. then changed
his mind when he got there and paid
his fare to Benson, and then again
changed his mind and got a ticket
thru for some point in the west.
Mr.. Stanghelle has two brothers
near Fessenden, N. D., and the au-
thorities Immediately wired them,

Door factory last Wednesday morn.
ing Hugo Hoglund, the son of Pc.
ter Hoglund. 1882 Fifth St., got
his left hand too near the rapidly
revolving cutters, and before he
realized what happened he had all
four fingers cut off. He was at
once assisted to the hospital by his
fellow workmen, and his hand pro.
perly dressed, and after u few days
in the hospital Hugo is now again
able to be around.
Just how the accident happened
no one knows. Hugo says he can.
not figure out how he happened to
get his hand so close to the cutters.
He had been working at the ma.
chime often since he started to work
at the factory about year ago,
and was thoroly familiar with the
mechanism of the machine.
Altho Hugo feels badly about the
loss of his fingers, he is by nc
means discouraged, and he is al.
ready figuring on what kind OF

about 36 years ago. He had been
in the service of the Great North.
ern for about IA years, most Of the
time as conductor. Up till a cou-
pie of weeks ago he was conductor
on the west trains running thru
here. Then he was appointed train
master for the Sioux City division.
and he was just getting ready to
move with his family from St. Paul
to Sioux City, when death came
and put an end to all his earthly
plans. His sudden death is hard
blow to his wife, and came as a
shock to the many employees of the
Great Northern, among whom he
was universally esteemed and ad-
mired. He was an exceptionally
able and efficient railroad man, and
stood in high regard with the off,
GERS Of the road. To the travelling
public at large his death is also a
great loss. 1t would be difficult to
find more courteous kindly man
than was "Tom," both on and off
the road. He was always glad to
assist anyone, and he was ever pa
tient and considerate in his deal
ings with confused or irate passen-
gers. His was an example worthy
to be followed by every railroad
man.
Concerning the disease which
caused his death medical science
knows but little as yet. 1t oc-
ours mostly in infants. affecting
certain parts Of the spinal chord,
and producing paralysis. some-
times in the muscles Of the arms
and legs, and other times attacking
the respiratory muscles. as was the
case in this instance. 1t is the first
case Of its kind ever reported in
this county. The nature of the
germ which causes the disease is
not known. but it is supposed to be
germ which spreads thru dust and
dirt. The disease either proves
fatal, or leaves the person attacked
either wholly or partially crippled.
Winona and St. Paul have both
suffered from epidemics of the dis
ease this summer, and medical au-
thorities are actively engaged in
studying the cases reported, in the
hope Of ascertaining its cause and
cure.
