the Past Week.

q One of those sad and distressing rail-
road accidents, the very thoughts of
which sends the thrill of horror through
our blood, happened right at our doors
last Monday morning.
Harry Olson, a brakeman running on
train No. 438on the Minnesota..division of
the Northern Pacific, was helping with
switching necessary to making up the
east bound freight, about $50, when
misstep threw him across the rail
with the backing wheels SO close that
recovery was impossible. The resist
less metal shears, as it were, nearly
severed his body at the hips and the
right arm was crushed from just below
the shoulder TO the wrist.
The unfortunate was carried as quick
ly and tenderly as possible to the
Oakes Hospital but he was beyond hu-
man help and lived about an hour and
a half, being conscious to the last.
He talked some Of the circumstances
of his accident saying no one was to
blame but himself. The engine and one
car was being backed for a coupling.
He tried to set the knuckle in readiness
by the leyer but it stuck and he step
ped in to adjust it with his hands and
in backing out hurriedly, his heel struck
the rail and as the car was right against
him it was all over in a second. The

City Council Lets Contract for
Big Artesian Well to
Local Company.
Electric Light is Subject for
Much Agitation--Annual
City Election.

The complete proceedings of the
council meeting Monday night were not
available but the principal action taken
was the awarding of the contract for
another artesian well to the North Da-
kota Artesian Well Company.
1t is to be six-inch well and the con-
tract price is $500. From member
the we'll company it ia learned that a
six-inch well will supply volume Of
of water slightly more than equal to
the combine volume of four three-inch
wells. The ratio being as squares of
the diameter and 3x3 equals 9, 4x9
equals 36. also 6x6 equals 36 and in the
case of single we'll the resistance
from friction is less.
Work on the new well will begin
within ten days. Its location has not
been determined.
The street work and sprinkling was
let to w. M. Saulter at $50 per month.
There was much discussion of the
water and light problems along the
street Tuesday and Wednesday and a
special meeting of the Commercial
Club was called for Wednesday at the
city hall and the attendance was large
and general.
The water subject did not occupy the
meeting very long as the course in that
matter had been settled by the letting

Mrs. Boehmler.

Julia A. Boehmler came into this
world on the Oath day of January,
1913, and left it March II, 1910. Be-
tween these two dates stretch sixty
two years. Her parents were Gordon
N. and Jane Bowers. She was born
near Cherry Valley, Winnebago county,
Illinois. Here she dwelt with her par
ents through childhood into youth and
young womanhood. During her seven
teenth year the family migrated to
Iowa, and came to live at Frederika.
This was in 1854. Julia returned to
Illinois after some time and taught
school. There she met Edward Boehm-
Ter, with whom in the comradeship of
wedlock, she trusted her life and her
earthly hopes on Christmas day, 1863
They went to Minneapolis to live,' the
occupation of Mr.. Boehmler, that of a
miller, made it advisable to make
several changes from Minnesota to
Iowa, thence to Nebraska and Dakota
and back again to Iowa. For about
twelve years they have had their home
among US in Frederika. Thirty-seven
years ago Mrs. Boehmler first began to
feel the disease, chronic muscular
rheumatism, which so sorely afflicted
her for more than quarter of cen
tury. For many years she was en-
tirely helpless. During all her suffer
ing she bore herself with courage and
fortitude, patience and sweetness that
had it's spring in deep trust in. the
love Of Christ. This love of Christ
colored all her hopes for herself and
her loved ones. More than once when
encouragement seemed to settle upon
her pastor, half hour with her would
renew his strength and put courage in
to his heart. She was converted in
1882 and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church at Beatrice, Neb.
Again and again has she said to her
pastor, 81 could not endure this
through these years if it were not for

Boehmler had but the one child, Grace,
who has so tenderly shared with the
husband the care of their loved one,
who has gone to her home and her
crown.

being preached by Rey. ]. B. Bird of

people followed the remains in its

MRS. JOHN MUNICH
DIES SUDDENLY
Passes Away Saturday at
Hospital-Blood Poisoning
the Cause of Death.
Mrs. John Munich.

The grim reaper has once more snatch
ed loving mother from her home.
Mrs. Munich died at the Samaritan
Hospital, Saturday April End, at 2:1O p.
M, in her fifty-fourth year.
Her sudden death was shock to her
family and friends as she had been con-
fined to her bed but few days. Her
daughters Mrs. c. B. Denison. of
Guelph, and Rachel, of Hillsboro, did
not reach home before the end come,
but her husband and three youngest
children were with her to the last.
Mary Speer was born in Gallatin
County, Illinois, January 9th, 1856. She
was the only daughter of family of
six children. In 1881 she was united in
marriage to John Munich at junction,
Illinois. For twelve years they made
their home at Lovington, Illinois. To
this union were born nine children,
three of whom have passed to the great
beyond, two having died in infancy.
The eldest daughter, Mrs. c. L. Dow,
died little over year ago.
The family moved to Stilson, Iowa.
in 1893, living there until 1902 when
they came to Oakes, living on the farm
until three years ago.
She was an indulgent, loving and
hard working mother and a loving wife,
always doing what she thought to be
for the best of her family.
She leaves husband. two sons, four
daughters, four grandchildren and five
brothers to mourn her loss.
The funeral was held at the Presby-
terian church Tuesday at p. m.
Rev. B. A. Burns, pastor of the M.
E. church, conducted the services and
preached powerful sermon. The buri-
al was in the Oakes Cemetery.
Robert E. Munich, a son, who had
been summoned from Lethbridge, Can
ada, arrived on 500 freight just as the
funeral was proceeding to the church
greatly to the relief of his father.
The bereft family has the sympathy
of their friends in the city and in this
vicinity in their great and sudden loss

engine was stopped very quickly and
the wheels did not pass over his body
but ran up on to it. The hips were
crushed, the pelvic'bones driven through
the flesh and the body mutilated in
other ways too horrible to describe in
detail. The body was taken to Board
mans undertaking parlors to be pre-
pared for shipment.
The deceased was fine young man
about twenty-five years of age. His
people live at Vining, MINI. His
brother, o. NJ. Olson, came from Wah-
peton Monday evening and took the
body of the unfortunate man home.

The light problem was productive Of
lengthy discussion. That many of our
business men are in dead earnest in
their agitation for better lights for.
Oakes was plainly evident.
Electricity, do we want it, how to
get it and what will it cost were ques-
tons that were thoroughly turned over
q i'd viewed from all angles.
The whole matter was brought be-
fore the meeting on motion by Geo.
"A. Tuthill which called for the sense of
the advisability of starting move
ment toward securing electric lights for
the city and of appointing a committee
to investigate the whole matter. The
motion carried decisively. Another
motion was carried authorizing the
chair to appoint such committee of
three members. President Maerck-
lein who was in the chair appointed
Geo. A. Tuthill, R. A. Middaugh and
DR.. M. E. Gale.
Monday was the day for annual city
election and oh such tame election!
No arguments, no fights, no curb stone
orators, and only one ticket. Two
thirds of the voters were not aware
that there was an election andless than
half the voters took the trouble to go
to the polls. There was no pressure
brought to get voters out and no Gin
ducements" to those who did turn out.
There were a couple of boxes of cigars
over at the second ward voting place,
but the inspectors dropped one in the
box every time non smoker voted so
they lasted like cherries in the vicinity
of school house.
Here is the ticket which went
through without a struggle:
Aldermen, First Ward: M. E. Gale.
Second Ward: R. A. Middaugh, 2
years; c. A. Moore, l year. Third
Ward: George B. Phifer.
City Justice: John Kennedy.
Police Magistrate: Geo. A. Tuthill.
The proposition for the city to adopt
the municipal statutes as codified in
chapter 80 of the 1905 session laws car
ried with but two dissenting votes.
