Robert Harbesen Killed By Accident

Ut. Il. L. MCU6OfS6,Ol OOusUOWh jCoI,
oner Of Salem County, held All inquest Oh
Monday night in the Mayors office on the
sudden death of Robert Harbeson, before
a jury of six men. The. jurors were Fred.
A. Gentieu, Simon Cunningham, Peter
Raymond, r. F. Shannon, W. F. Yeager
and Smith Wolling.
The witnesses examined were George
B. Harbeson, Edward Danser, Mrs. John
Jess, Richard eastman, railroad engineer;
C. Quinn, bartender; Adam Jess, Harry
G.. Hewitt, Sarah Murphy, r. E.
Hansen, j. A. Fisher, r. F. Shannon,
DE-. G. /. Fleming.
Because Robert Harbeson had some
controversy with Mr.. Hansen on Saturday
evening, December 3rd, when his death
occurred some feared there might have
been foul play and to satisfy all concer-
ned the inquest was held.
The testimony showed that he had
been drinking that night, not so heavily
as usual on pay day, but enough to make
him boisterous. He went to the Ire
mont house where he called Mr.. Hansen
a vile name and was told to get out. He
went out about $50, without being forced,
and was not seen afterwards, until his
body was found about $50 on the rail
road track between Railroad Avenue and
Main Street, where it had been run over
by the train.
Mr.. Hansen said he did not push Mr..
Harbeson out OF the house. He could
rot if he had wanted to. Mr.. Harbeson
being a much larger and stronger man..
About z O'Clock he went up Railroad
Avenue, and thence to squire Shannon .
office where he sworn cut a warrant Tor
Harbeson's arrest. Thence he came down
Main st. to Marshall Fishers and to Shape
& Higgins's, thence back to the
House. AS his whereabouts could be
accounted it was a clear abb.
Mr.. Hansen came to Penn's Grove last
May from Brunswick, Ga, where he had
lived seven years. He Is a native OF
Copenhagen, Denmark. During the sum
mer he had a photo gallery on Locke's
lot.
DR.. Fleming was the other principal
witness. He said Robert Harbeson's
head had decorations Oh the nose, lip,
chin and slight bruise on the lett tenn
pie and the back of the scalp. There was
no signs of a bad bruise nor blood clot
which would indicate severe injury at least
five minutes before death. While there
was not signs of much blood loss, the
shock from being run over by the train
was enough to cause death. The right
leg was broken in two places and the left
leg i'll one place.
The jury reported a case OF accidental
death.
Mr.. Theo. Fish wishes it to be announ-
ced that he was with his wife when the
body of Mr.. Harbeson WAS found and
that while Mrs. Fish suffered intensely
from a nervous shock she did not faint.

Old Academy Girls Picnic

The annual picnic of the "Old
Academy Girls" was held in Glen
Park last Thursday, August IS. The
day was perfect for an out-of-doors
celebration. There was not a dis
cord to spoil the pleasure Of the en-
tire day.
Many and varied excuses for alb
sence were received, all of which
had to be smilingly accepted. But
when the dinner hour arrived not
one could be accused of hardness.
The long table extending across
the pavilion looked beautiful and
very tempting. Nothing was left
undone by the Food Commissioner,
Lucy Powell (Currier), to make that
a bountiful and pleasing spread.
The daughters of the members
served the dinner and they were a
group of which one would be justly
proud.
After the dinner hour our presi-
dent, Elmira Nichols (PowelD called
the girls to order. Thirty-eight re-
sponded to roll call. Those from
out-of-town were Adele Rogers
(Green) of Hudson, Grace Wilcox
(Rosenquist) and daughter of Lady
smith, Sarah Stone (Nelson) of
Ellsworth, Matilda Gray (Webster)

ALI Enjoyed Picnic

From all reports the Hudson Sons
of Norway were unanimous in de-
claring Glen Park the finest place
imaginable for holding their annual
picnic and that they were all heartily
enthusiastic over the reception and
treatment accorded them by the peo-
pie of River Falls. And further
more, many of them expressed them
selves as being confident that the
advantages of this location, so favor
ably demonstrated Sunday, would
bring the next annual Omaha shop
picnic to this city.
There were between two and three
hundred picnickers at Glen Park
Sunday. They ate lunch at noon,
coffee, cream and sugar being fur
nished by the River Falls CONNER
cial Club, after which Mayor Stiles
gave an address Of welcome in be-
half of the citizens of River Falls.
The Hudson Military band furnished
good music throughout the entire
day. Edm. Nicholson passed around
cigars so that all who cared to en-
joyed fine after dinner smoke.
Games and races occupied the
first part of the afternoon, the ball
game between the local team and
the Jacksons of ST. Paul being also
largely attended and proving a sat
isfactory entertainment.
The only regret expressed was
that the time went too quickly. They
all hoped to hold their next annual
picnic here and it is certain that the
people of River Falls will be pleased
to welcome them.
