Ludwig Hack of 515 West Third
street passed away yesterday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock. Death was
caused by cancer of the stomach,
from which the deceased has been
ailing for almost a year. He was
first taken sick about last Christmas
and has been in poor health since,
but has not been confined to bed
more than four weeks.
Mr.. Hack was born in Germany
but came to this country thirty-two
years ago, settling at Boston, Mass.
He then moved to Winona and from
there to Mankato where he has re-
sided for the past fourteen years.
He has been in the employ OF the
Mankato Broom works and later at
the iron works, but he has not been
working for the past year.
He is survived by a widow and
three children. The children's names
are, Alfred Hack of Minneapolis,
Bruno Hack of Mortified and Mrs.
H. d. Yaeger of Rapidan. The fu-
neral will be held at twelve o'clock
Sunday noon from the Seventh Day
Adventist church. No arrangements
have been made yet as to the Of
ficiating minister.

An informal meeting was held in
the city hall this noon by some OF
the members of the city council, the
city health officer, DR.. Sohmer, and
DR.. Andrews and DR.. Fl. NJ. Brack-
en-, secretary of the state board of
health. DR.. Bracken arrived this
noon from the cities and the meet
ing was held Immediately after
wards.
DR.. Bracken was to be in the city
for a short time and it was thought
a good plan to get his views of the
matter of getting detention hospi-
tai here. He was decidedly in favor
of it, giving a number of logical
reasons why such a hospital would
benefit the city in more ways than
one. No action was taken at this
meeting besides this as il was the
purpose simply to talk over these
matters with an authority on the
subject.
This afternoon a number of the
doctors of this city held a meeting
with DR.. Bracken persent at the doc
tors study club rooms in the Ma
tional Citizens bank building.

gardlng the use of the basement

with the use of the rooms shall be

CASE PEOPLE WILL
HAVE BRANCH HERE
RACINE FIRM TO BUILD BIG WAREHOUSE
HERE this FALL--.WORK BEGINS
IN A FEW DAYS

August Hanson, representing the
}. |. Case company of Racine, Wi is.
for Western Minnesota, North
Dakota and Eastern Montana, ar
rived in the city yesterday and IN
company with II. V. Smith, the
local agent for the Case people,
and Nj. 5. DonavOn the travelling
representative in this territory,
interviewed local contractors re-
garding the erection of a new
branch house for the company in
this city
The new building will be erected
on the right of way on the east
side of the spur that runs to the
Williston Grocery company and
will be 60xlO0 feet and one story
high. 1t is expected that the con-
tract will be let within the next
week and work started in ten days
at the most.
1t is the expectation Of the CON-
pany to handle at least ten to fifty
cars Of machinery from this place
and the erection of the branch
house in the face of bad crops in
this section in the past two years
show that the company have faith
in the territory as a future dis
tributing point. The territory
covered from this branch will eX-
tend from White Earth west and
include Mckenzie county and all
of eastern Montana. The company
handle aside from their regular
line of threshing machinery autos,
road machines and a long list of
other kinds of implements.
Mr.. Hanson and Mr.. Donovan
went to Plentywood and other
points on the Bainville branch to-
day and with the purpose of look
ing over part of the territory that
will be covered from this place.
Together with the big line of
machinery Carried the company
will keep in stock complete line
of repairs as we'll as samples of
everything made or handled by the
J. l. Case people.
The establishment of this branch
is but an echo of the Bainville ex-
cursion Of asst year and the per-
sistent work among retailers in
this territory to have more whole
sale distribution from this point.
The development of this city as a
wholesale point means that the
merchants in the Yellowstone
valley and along the branch line
will have a quick and easy means
of communication with their source
of supply and as a territory is
developed more and more, will
result in much mutual good.
