PINE RIVER MAN FOUND
DEAD NEAR BHA|NERD
Section Foreman Finds Mang|ed Re.
mains Of Elmer Church Beside
r Northern Pacific Tracks,

Brainerd, April 1.-(Special to
Pioneer. = The body of Elmer
Church of Pine River was found
this morning beside the Northern
Pacific tracks three miles west of
Brainerd by Peter Parsons, an N. P.
section foreman, and his crew. -.
Coroner Thomas Gibson, who was
notified went out and picked up
the remains and brought them to D.
M. Clark's undertaking rooms where
they are now awaiting orders for
their disposition.
It is supposed that the deceased
came to his death either by a fall
from a moving train or from being
struck by train while walking
along the track. Church, who was
said to be on his way to Montana,
came down from his home at Pine
River yesterday and apparently
started to go to Sylvan, the first
station west of Bralnerd. That he
was going to Sylvan is evidenced by
letters, unstamped, which he was
carrying from his daughter, Miss
Lottie Church, to friends in Sylvan,
and which he would otherwise have
mailed. Church's watch was found
about twenty feet west of the body,
badly defaced and evidently stopped
at about 7:2O or 7:3O O'Clock. A
revolver which he always carried
was found about fifteen or twenty
feet east of where the body was
lying. His neck was broken and
his left side caved in and his left
hand cut. It is not known here
at what time he started from Brain.
ord, or whether or not he started
afoot, but no tickets to Sylvan were
sold last night and he had no ticke
on his person as would have beer
apt to have been the case had h,
purchased one west of Staples.
A. theory which finds credenc'
among the railroad men is thai
Church started out about supper
time for Sylvan and met the specia
train which brought THE Wolf
company to this city, and which mad
the trip from Staples, thirty mile
in thirty-one minutes. Church wa
probably slow in getting out of tn
way and the engine or some part of tn
train struck him, caving in his sid
and breaking his neck. -.-.
Another theory of the manner Q
Mr.. Church's death is that. he trie
to ride on So, the freight which lei
here at SIS this morning, and acc
dentally fell from the train. Polic'
4 man Winters states that Churc
asked him yesterday afternoon
there was anyone in from Sylvia
and finding that the officer knew {
no one he said that he guessed tn:
3 he would walk out. He also tol

q Church was a rather eccentr
s individual. He formerly lived, it
: said, about seven miles southwest
! Brainerd, and went from here
81 Pine River about four years ago. F
q has had an idea for several yea

They Didn't Have to Chance,

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con.
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford 1t and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs
Quaker Oats; regular size packages
and the large size family package;
the latter both with and without
china. 4

To be successful with poultry re-
quires a great deal more careful atten-
ton than many are apt to think. The
house should be large and warm. The
fowls should have plenty Of exercise;
but, more than that, the fowls should
be given as food what their nature de-
mands and what, if allowed free range,
they could procure for themselves.

tains these ingredients In carefully

Not even when the melOdramatic fea-
lures of the welcome that was pre-
pared for him gripped the nerves Of
spectators and brought unbidden tears
to manly eyes did DR.. Cook appear TO-
be touched. Behind his dancing blue
eyes there lies either wonderful power
of self control or an innate insensibil-
ity to the ordinary emotions. DR..
Cook was hugged, kissed, banqueted,
serenaded, decorated and paraded all
the day, and at the close he was es
seemingly unconscious of the great
ness thrust upon him as though he
were still climbing over the hummocky
ice of the arctic circle.

to believe that the statements which
have been attributed to peary are in

any charges, but must first see some

or from Harry Whitney. Mr.. Whit
