Ole Q. Berg Family Mourn The
Death Of The Son Louis, a

news from Abbotsford. Wis, that
the oldest son. Louis Olson, a
prominent business man of that
place, while out hunting was acci-
dentally shot and killed by another
deer hunter Saturday. Nov. 18th.
The following story of Mr.. Olson's
tragi ic death is taken from the
Weekly Clarion of that place: 'He
was a member of hunting party
consisting Of Mr.. Jones, Of Sand
which. llt., Mr.. King Of Chicago,
and A. J. Young, Wilks Douglas
and himself from Abbotsford. Sat-
urday afternoon most of the party
were hunting on an old lumber road,
which was used by the deer as a
run way: Mr.. Olson was stationed
at a place about % miles from the
camp. About Ais shot was
heard, followed by call for help
from Mr.. Olson. Mr.. King was
the first to respond and found Mr..
Olson on the ground severely
wounded The other members of
the party responded quickly to the
alarm and while Messrs. King and
Young remained with the wounded
man, the others went for help. In
his conscious moments Mr.. Olson
said that he saw man with red
jacket and cap aiming gun at
him, that he threw up his hands
and called not to shoot, but that
the: man shot him and then ran
away. Later investigation proved
the truth of the dying mans state
ment, as the tracks in the snow
showed where he had been standing
when the shot was fired and also
where he ran away from the spot.
An examination showed that the
bullet had passed thru the body an
inch below the center of the right
breast, shattering the seventh rib
and piercing the lung and liver.
Mi. Olson lived about two hours
ana a halt. The. body was not
brought ;s,eis asx x,eisamp until nearly mid
night. Although every effort was
made to locate the one who did the
shooting nothing was accom-
piished."
The deceased was born on the old
homestead where the village of Alb

SAN FRANCISCO CAR IS
HELD UP BY ROBBERS
Masked Bandits Loot Passengers
and Crew of Money and
JeWeIry

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.-Three
masked men held up an interurban
street car at the San Mateo county
line early today, and lining up the
passengers and crew, robbed them of
their money, after clubbing the motor
man and two of the passengers into
submission. The car was stopped on
a steep hill by the bandits who sig
nailed to the motorman. One bandit
mounted the front platform and lev
eled a revolver at the motorman,
while the second robber held up the
conductor on the rear platform. The
third thug stood at the roadside and
took no part in the robbery until his
two companions had lined up the pas
sengers and crew beside the coach.
Then he advanced and aided in the
searching OF the victims.
When the motorman and two of the
passengers protested against the rob-
berg, they were dubbed into uncon-
seriousness with revolver butts The
robbers contented themselves with
taking the money of the crew and
passengers and their watches and jew
elry. When they had gathered up
their loot, amounting to a little more
than 500, the highwaymen instructed
the conductor to leave with his car
as rapidly as possible
The force of police dispatched to the
scene found no trace Of the robbers.
