WAS KILLING
ACCIDENTAL !?
Relatives of Louis F. Miller,
Killed at Sanborn, Will
Investigate Case.
Man Had Money When Last
Seen Alive, but Only a
Nickel When Found.

Sullivan'& Mcmahon, attorneys al
Algona, Iowa, have authorized attor
neY Dolliff to have a transcript made
of the testimony taken at the inquest
held at Sanborn on the 18th inst,
following the finding of the headless
body of Louis F. Miller in the rail
road yards at that place. We are
informed that the inquest developed
facts that seem to lead to the conclu-
sion that Miller's death was not acct
dental but was premeditated, either
on the part of Miller himself or
some unknown criminal who way
laid Miller and threw his body on the
railroad tracks to cover his murder
Gus deed. The testimony pretty
we'll established the fact that Miller
had GA when he quit the game. but
only five cents was found on his
dead body, the inside pocket of his
coat being torn out.
The last seen of Miller was little
past eleven clock. as we understand,
when Miller and four companions
dispersed after holding a session at
poker. 1t seems that about five bot
ties of beer only were consumed,
which is taken as a too moderate
allowance to justify the conclusion
that the man who was killed. was
made helpless by his potations. All
of the other men in the games were
examined at the inquest and there
seems to be no evidence duplicating
any of them in the tragedy, or indeed,
at the present time, anyclue point
ing to any person who waylaid Mil
Ter.
1t is understood that the request
for transcript of the evidence was
instigated by relatives of Miller who
live at Algona, and whether the OBJ
ject is to lay the foundation for a
suit against the railroad company or
to find clue for the possible MUIR
derer. no one here can say.
1t appears that the legal counsel
for the Northwestern are also inves-
tigating the circumstances connected
with the tragedy.

Sister of Otto Goeke Dies Suddenly.

F.A. Japs received news last week
OF the sudden death of the elder sis
ter of Otto Goethe Mrs. Emma Holm
OF Carver. Details in the Carver
paper are to the effect that on the
18th Mrs. Holm, apparently in the
best of health and spirits, walked to
Chaska to spend the day with Mrs.
Thorn, an old friend. Returning in
the evening to board a train home,
Mrs. Thorn accompanying her on the
way to the station somewhat hur-
riedly, Mrs. Holm was overcome and
asked for a doctor, expiring at a
wayside store, the two doctors called

view states that Mrs. Holm was of a
Jovial disposition and universally be
loved, and leaves her husband and
three daughters almost heartbroken.
Mrs. Holm was in her 10th year.

QUELlE BEATEN BY JOE CARR.
Minneapolis Athlete too Heavy for CHI
CagO Champion.

Joe Carr, the Minneapolis wrestler,
took two successful falls out of the
Chicago athlete R. Quelle. last We'd
nesday night. in what was pronounc-
ed one of the cleanest wrestling con-
tests ever pulled off here. In the
first bout it became apparent that
Quelle was outweighed but not out
classed by his rival. who took about
twenty minutes of streuous work to
put the shoulders of the Chicago
man to the mat, owing to the clever
defensive work of the latter. AL
though Carr had the best of the ar
gument most of the time, he took
no chances and was careful not to
let his opponent get behind him or
out-general him in strategy.
In the second bout Quelle was Civ
en- little chance to demonstrate his
fine defensive work. Carr going after
him aggessively and drowning him
in much shorter time than in the
first round.
We are informed that Carr was
trained down to his lowest weight,
while his antagonist was carrying
ten pounds over weight.
A lively preliminary was pulled off
between Joe Kramer and Mckenzie.
Kramer having everything pretty
much his own way.

Redwood Falls II. S. Loses TO Springfield
in Joint Debate.

Aside from the fact that the joint
debate scheduled for last Friday
evening resulted in a decision in fa
vor of Springfield, the joint program
given by the two high schools was
satisfactory to all who attended.
Even the defeat was taken without
much protest, the audience being in
clined to concede that the visitors,
represented by Erna Appel and VIM.
Fritze, had the better preparation
for the debate, especially in view of
their previous tilt with Sleepy Eye
H. S., where Springfield won as adj
vocates of the negative, which was
the proposition taken by Redwood
Falls Friday evening. Regardless of
the decision, there is no question as
to the educational value of such con-
tests for the schools which engage in
them. In this debate Redwood Falls
was represented by Miss Helen Ever
EFT and DavidWhittet, who acquitted
themselves well, the judges Supt.
Bebermeyer, Mrs. Watson of Spring
field and Prof. Hess of Sleepy Eye
marking a total Of 780 credits in
argument, expression and delivery
for Springfield and 720 for Redwood

He meant pushing to the front the

The two men whom Roosevelt num-

to Oyster Bay from New York on the
afternoon train. Both protested that
they would not and could not talk
about their plans or the significance
of their visit to Colonel Roosevelt.
In response to inquiries Mr.. Garfield
kept on smiling and saying nothing.
Mr.. Pinchot said: Colonel Roosevelt
invited Mr.. Garfield and me to visit
him and that's all there is to it,
