JANSEN GETS
A new TRIAL
Court Order in Damage Suit is
Reversed By the Supreme
Court of The State.

Among the cases decided by the
supreme court last week was that
Of Edward Jansen, appellant, VS..
Great Northern Railway company.
respondent. Jansen sued the
road for $4,000 damages for in
juries received in loading rails
November 2, 1907. at St. Cloud.
He claimed that the accident was
due to the fact that the work was
done with unusual haste, thereby
increasing the danger, and that the
company was liable in as much as
his case came within the statute un-
der the construction of the employ
er's liability act. The case was tri-
ed here on January 26th last, and
Judge Qvale instructed the jury to
return a verdict for the defendant.
Jansen asked for new trial but
this was denied, whereupon he
appealed to the supreme court,
which reversed the order of Judge
Qvale holding that the question
whether the plaintiff was exposed
to a hazard incident to the operation
of a railroad was, on the evidence
presented, a question of fact for
the jury, and that the order and
direction by the foreman in charge
for expeditions work, and the fact
that the order is complied with and
the work performed with unusual
haste, create a hazard incident to the
operation of railroads, within the
fellow servant statute, and not the
necessity in fact for such haste.
In the syllabus the case of Tay VS..
the Great Northern was cited. This
was tried by Judge Qvale in July
1906, and at that time he entered an
order dismissing the case without
submitting it to the jury. The
order was reversed by the supreme
court and the case was settled out
Of court. Tay asked $4,000 for in
juries received in an accident SINH
lar to that which befell Jansen.

BURNED TO DEATH WHILE
STARTING FIRE WITH OIL.

While building a fire with kero-
sene oil on Wednesday morning,
Ole Hoilan's nightgown caught fire
and the victim received burns which
resulted in his death yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Hoilan is lifelong bachelor
and is about 60 years old. The dis
covery of the accident was made by
Bennie Grove, a neighbor, who had
been trading in town Wednesday
afternoon and on his return home at
dark, failed to see a light in the
old gentIeman's house, and thought
he would stop to say "He|lo." Up
on entering the house he was struck
with awe when he saw Mr.. HoiIan
lying naked on the floor with a
quilt around him and suffering un-
unspeakable agony. The floor was
wet and frozen. Aid was at once
called, and medical attendance, but
all was to no avail. The terrible
burns and the intense cold had
conquered all his vitality and cap
acity of endurance. He gained
consciousness for but a short time,
during which time it was learned
that he extinguished the fire by
rolling himself in the snow and was
completely exhausted when he had
crawled back into the house, so that
he was unable to get up into bed.
Mr.. Hoilan is pioneer settler of
Wang township, having come to
Renvil]e county in 1872. He was
prosperous. owing to the farm on
which he lived, and having money
in the bank. His father is report
ed to be still living in Norway.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow at the Wang Lutheran
church of which the unfortunate
man was a member. Maynard

Moves to Texas.
Albert Rodelius of Lake Lillian
was in Willmar Monday making
arrangements to have his household
goods shipped to Texas the latter
part of this week. Mr.. Rodelius
will 60 with the car to Matagorda
county, Texas, and his family will
join him after a visit in Omaha,
Nebraska.
Mr.. Rodelius has been farming
in Lake Lillian for 10 years. He has
now rented his farm to his brother
in-law, Ed Sestedt. In Texas he has
purchased 100 acre trait of land
on which he will raise fruit and
cotton. His many friends in this
county will wish him and his family
all kinds of health and prosperity in
their new location.

Cheerful Under Difficulties.

Walking the new macadam on a
recent afternoon, we met a colored
woman returning to her home from
town, carrying heavy bundlein each
hand, and tOting another even heavi-
er on her head, and as she passed by,
said cheerfully, "Fine walking, isn't
it?" The remark impressed Us, and
the lesson was useful.
Heavily handicapped she was going
her way glibly, gladly We often meet
with others who, though holding the
reins over spirited steppers and loung-
ing i'm luxurious vehicles, have no
smile upon their faces. and no ringing
laughter i'm their voices. A great
preacher said i'm noble sermon re-
Gently that the Greek word for man is
"Anthropes" which simply means
"to look upwards" And that is well,
but now and then as we go on our
way through life it would give uplift
to our souls, if we would look beneath
us, and catch fresh inspiration from
the toillng, struggling masses. We
confess that having seen this burden
bearer bright and cheerful, gave new
spring to our step, and new hope to
our soul. 1t came from the earth, but
lifted us heavenwards.

BURKEVILLE'S MAYOR ON THE
WAR PATH.
HAS SPITE AGAINST PENNSYLVANIA R. R.
But Lands in Prison In the Great City
of Philadelphia.

The Burkeville Free Press has this
to say on the subject;
"Mayor Eby, it is stated, has long
entertained a spite against the Penn
svlvania Railroad. His father held
stock in branch road in Virginia and
it is rumored that Eby believed that
by the reorganization Of the road
through the Reading * Pennsyl-
vania influences, his father lost some
100000 and this is why he thinks
S45. 900 and more is justly due him.
1t is the general belief here that
Mayor Eby is insane. His queer
actions for the past few months,
coupled with this blackmaillng scheme
naturally lead to this conclusion. In
spector Calvert and y. * w. Rail
way detective were here recently ex-
anining the papers in his office, but
refused to make any statement re-
garding the matter"
He will be brought to Virginia for
trial in the L. :. District Court at
Richmond.

the campaign just ended, and also to

most pleasing experiences Of my life.
And further that my disappointment
is without bitterness. and that feel
no cause to be dissatisfied at the
showing that ! have made.

SMALL FARMS
Comfortable Homes, Now for Thought
iuI Work.

Messrs. Jehne and Hunt have re-
Gently sold seven small farms west OF
Farmville and portions Of the tract
once known a. that of the late Geo.
W. Daniel, and of late years the pro-
perty of Mr.. Adams. The farms vary
in size from ten to forty acres, aud up
on each 40 acres a comfortable dwell
ling of six rooms has been built, out
houses erected well dug. &c. We have
for years been clamoring for small
farms to be well worked. and we hope
this is the beginning Of that for which
we have been asking. One acre well
and thoughtfully cultivated is worth
more than ten acres scratched over,
and this fact will yet be demonstrated
50 that no one can be found to doubt
its wisdom. The possibilities Of our
acres are yet to be known, and our
hope is that these owners Of small
farms will soon give us object lessons
on this line.
Not long since an attractive dwelling
house &c., was built on - acres which
had been sold from the Coleman farm,
memorable in Virginia history because
of the sketches of the gifted Bagby,
and this property has recently chang
ed hands, the purchaser to take pos-
session at once, having bought not on
ly the land. but the personal property,
including the growing crops.
While we have been busy selling lots
in Farmville, others have been busy
selling lands around Farmville. Let
the good work 90 on, and let the world
watch Us grow, country aud town To-
gether.
