on the G.. III. Orth farm when a.
young Scandinavian by the name of
Julison was accidentally killed Sat
urday evening by being run over by
a threshing engine. 1t seems the
young man was walking ahead of
the rig with lantetn TO show the
way and it is presumed he stumbled
and fell and when the engineer saw
the light disappear he stopped and
was Mortified to hear the mans
groan's under the large drive wheel
of the engine. When taken out he
said it was his fault. but soon re-
lapsed into Inconsistencies and died
about an hour later. The unfortu-
nate fellow lived six miles north Of

Olivia, we are informed came near
being the scene Of another tragedy
last Friday evening. A fellow
named Dean, whose wife supported
him and her three children by TAX
ing in washing and who some time
ago applied for a divorce, it is al
legged came home that evening and
after a wordy alteration drew
revolver and shot at her the bullet,
narrowly missing her. The second
try at shot failed to go off and he
hit her over the head with the butt
of the weapon. By this time she
had left the house and neighbors
came to her rescue or she would
have undoubtedly been killed. Dean
made his escape in the darkness but
subsequently delivered himself up to
the authorities. He is now in the
county Jail and will be subject for
the grand jury and the coming term
of court to decide. -Renville Star
