Double Tragedy Occurs at Lake City,
Minnesota. Mother Escape.
Injury.
FATHER GIVES LIFE TO SAVE BOT
Woman Manages to Di.entangle Bodies
Of Husband and Son Without Sus.
taining Injury. =

Lake City, MINI. Feb. 1S.-Peter
Gludt, pioneer harness merchant Of
this city, and his son Elmer, tele-
phone nneman, were electrocuted by a
highly charged wire of the municipal
lighting system, which had broken in
the night and had fallen across tele-
phone wire, causing the telephone in
the Gludt resident to ring.
The father was stricken by, the 1900
voltage when he went to the rescue OF
Elmer, whom, from the home near by,
he had seen struck down only a mo-
ment before when the son had gone
to disentangle the wires. In his ex-
element the elder man disregarded
all precaution, Selling the wire with
out protecting his hands from the cur.
rent, and, standing on the wet soil,
his body formed the deadly circuit
that threw him to the ground, where
he lay close to his son.
Both were unconscious when Mrs.
Gludt, Elmer's mother, discovered
their plight. How she managed to
drag the wire from their bodies with.
out being shocked she was unable to
explain. Only by the merest chance,
local electricians say did she escape
the fate Of the two men. Had there
been lighter voltage carried by the
wire her efforts at rescue would not
have been in vain. Both men lived
for three hours.
Mr.. Gludt was fifty-fve years old and
his son was twenty.

When Shack in Which He Wa, Liy;ne
Caught Fire While He Was
Asleep.
VICTIM WAS AN OLD SOLDIER
Commonly Known Among the Children
As ''Unele George" and Loved
By Everyone.

About $50 O'Clock last evening
fire was discovered in the shack
near the corner of Eighth and Miss
ississippi streets, occupied by George
Bardwell, II years years old, and an
old suldier, as a dwelling house.
The fire was supposed to have
been started from an over heated
sheet-iron stove.
1t was at first thought by those
first to reach the fire that Mr.. Bard
we'll was not in the burning building,
but it later developed that he was.
As soon as the fremen were able
to enter the shack, they did so,
finding Mr.. Bardwell lying in
position on the bed which indicated
that he had been sleeping.
His left leg was completely burned
off, as were the the clothes be had
bod on. The body was also badly
burned.
1t is the opinion of those who first
found the dead body that the un-
fortunate man never knew that the
house was burning, but that he was
overcome with smoke, before the fire
touched him.
Mr.. Bardwell was an old soldier,
and had lived in Bemidji for about
fifteen years. He came to Minnesota
sometime between the years 1856
aud 1866.zl - = ~
He was a member of R. II. Carr
Post number ia, Department of
Minnesota, G. A. r., and was recog-
nized by his fellow soldiers as one of
the most popular boys" of their
post. p
There is not a child in Bemidji
who did not know Uncle George,
and be was loved and esteemed by
every one for his good and kind
hearted manner.
The day of the funeral has not as
yet been set, but it is very probable
that 1t will be held tomorrow.
Mr.. Bardwell is survived by
brother Byran Bardwell, who lives
10 the town of Northern, a niece,
Mrs. Joseph Shirk, of Bemidjl and
nephew, Fred Bardwell, also of Be-
midi.
LATER The funeral of Mr..
Bardwell will be held Monday after
noon at o'clock. 49,.
