MACNUS JOHNSON IN.
JURED BY A BLAST

While blasting rock on the Jonas
johnson farm in Mamre last
Wednesday Magnus johnson met
with a terrible accident. He had
placed the charge in, and after
lighting the fuse withdrew short
distance. When, after waiting
some time, the charge did not ex-
plode, Mr.. johnson returned to the
rock to find out what was the mat
ter. No sooner had he reached the
spot when the explosion took place,
hurting bits of rock in every direc-
tion. Mr.. Johnson's face was bad
ly disfigured by the flying splinters,
one of them destroying one Of his
eyes. A physician was summoned
from Willmar at once, and the
sufferer made as comfortable as
possible. The injuries were very
painful, but Mr.. johnson bore up
bravely, and at the present time he
is on the way to recovery, tho he
will bear marks from the accident
the rest of his life.

DEATH OF JUDGE NORDIN

Hon. A. F. Nordin, judge of Pro-
bate, died suddenly Monday even
ing shortly after 10 O'Clock at the
Carlson hall where he was attend
ing a meeting of the Swedish Liter
ary society. He was to have ap-
peared in a debate with A. O. Fors-
berg, and had just finished his out
line when he seated himself on the
piano stool waiting for zMr.@Eorsse,
berg to make his preliminary re-
marks. Suddenly he pitched for
ward and fell to the floor. A num-
ber of people hastened to his assist
ance but he was already dead when
they, reached him. A physician
was summoned. but all he could do
was to pronounce apoplexy as the
cause Of death.
The news Of Judge Nordin's sud-
den death was received everywhere
with the deepest CONSERVATION and
regret. 1t was not generally
known that he had been ailing off
and on for the past three years, but
such was the case, and the doctors
knew that it was only question of
time when his disease, which was
diagnosed as arterial sclerosis,
would take him away. Strangely
enough he died the way he had al
ways wished he might, suddenly
and without any pain. Naturally
his death was a great shock to his
wife and daughter, neihter Of whom
were present at the time, but they
are hearing up bravely.
! Axel Frithiof Nordin was born
in Stockholm, Sweden, Nov. 16,
1849, and he was thus 60 years,
months and IL days old at the time
of death. He was the son of Peter

YOUNG MAN. FA-.
TALLY INJURED
Andrew Jorgenson Dies From
Injuries Received i'm q Run
away Accident In D0vre.

Andrew Jorgenson died at his
home in section 6, town Of Will
mar, last Wednesday, from injuries
received in a runaway near Solo,
mon Lake on the preceding Mon
day. On that day Jorgenson had
gone to his Solomon Lake farm to
divide a hay stack with Jacob Mel
son, his renter. When the two
met they quarreled, and when Mel
son took off his coat to 60 to work
Jorgenson thought he meant to at
tack him, and therefore started
away in the road cart in which he
was sitting. In so doing he cracked
his whip. This frightened the two
teams which Nelson had brought
and they ran away. Both ran in
Jorgenson's direction, and soon
overlook him. In order to avoid
the first team Jorgenson made a
sharp turn, causing the cart to tip
over. He was thrown to the
ground and before he had time to
get out of the way the second team
ran over him. Nelson's sons, Iheo-
dore and Arthur, who were also at
the stack, started after the teams,
and after some time succeeding in
gaining control over them. They
did not think that Jorgenson was
seriously injured. for he got up
and walked away, going to the
farm of Andrew Nordin, who later
drove by taking him home. A ply
sician was sent for, and he found
that three ribs on the left side had
been broken by one of the hay rack
wheels, but he did not think any,
thing serious would develop. On
the following day the patient grew
worse however, he suffered an in
ternal hemorrage Of the lungs, and
about three o'clock Wednesday af-
te1noon he passed away: He was
buried Friday from the Lutheran
Free church in St. Johns, Rev. Mi
chaelson officiating.
Andrew Jorgenson was born in
Willmar township Oct. %. 1878,
and he was thus 36 years, months
and Is days old at the time of
death. He is survived by his aged
mother. He never married.
There were many ugly rumors
afloat to the effect that Jorgenson
had met with foul play, but Cor.
oner Branton and County Attorney
Bitterness made thorough investi-
cation last Thursday and they re.
port that without a question the
whole affair was an unavoidable
accident.
