E. H. Haig accompanied by his
wife, his mother and father and his
pastor Rev. c. McKibben of Mar
shall, was brought to Willmar on
Tuesday enroute to DEVILS Lake,

of health until about six weeks ago
when he was suddenly stricken with
paralysis and the physician in
charge deeming the case hopeless
he was removed to the home of his
parents at Devils Lake. @>.z s.
Ernest Haig was, until this ter
rible illness came upon him 8 a
young man Of more than ordinary
ability and the future was bright
with promise for him. He was at
one time teacher of science in the
Willmar High school and during
his stay here won the highest re-
spect of all who knew him.. After
leaving here he taught in the st.
Cloud High School and later took
a course at Yale College. For some
time he had been County Y. M. G..
A. Secy. of Lyon County and was
making a great success of his work.
His sudden and hopeless illness is
deplorable and cause for deep re-
gret and sadness to his many
friends. Mr.. Haig is the son of A.
H. Haig Superintendent of: schools
Of Ramsey Co., N. Oak. and was
married last August to Miss Anna

TENDALL WINS -.
DAMAGE SUIT
Supreme Court Reverses Lower
Court in Favor Of the Will-
mar Section Man.

Among the decisions handed
down by the Minnesota Supreme
Court last week was one in the case
of Lars Tendall against the Great
Northern Railway Company. which
was appealed from Kandiyohi Coun-
ty.
Tendall was injured in the yards
in WilImar over a year ago by hav-
ing box car dropped on his foot,
breaking one of the bones and leav-
ing bad sprain. He sued the
company for damages for his injury
on the ground that the company
was negligent. The case was tried
here in WilIlnar before Judge Qvale
and a jury in March, 1910. and re-
suited in q verdict for Mr.. Tendall
for $4,000.
The Railroad Company made a
motion to have the verdict set aside
and Judgment ordered in their
favor. on the ground that Tendall
had failed to show negligence on
the part Of the company and was
himself negligent. This motion
Judg dge Qvale granted and the ver-
dict was set aside.
Through his attorneys. Ludwig
Arctander of Minneapolis and r.
W. Stanford of this city, Tendall ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court from
the Judges decision.
The Supreme Court decided that
the case presented questions of fact
for the jury and that it was proper
ly submitted to them in the first
instance. They therefore reversed
the decision of the District Judge
and ordered the verdict in Tendall's
favor reinstated. No doubt Mr..
Tendall will take pleasure in COL
lecting his damages and costs from
the Company.
The following is the Syllabus Of
the case as published in the Twin
City papers: -.
Lars Larson Tendall. appellant
VS.. Great Northern Ry. Co., re-
spondent.
Syllabus: While .... a 5.. wrecking
crew was engaged in raising box
car, plaintiff was directed by the
foreman to take position at one
end of the car. which remained
fastened when the power was ap-
piled, and to pry up with a pinch
bar. The foreman assisted with
another bar. when the car suddenly
swung towards the plaintiff and
caught his foot under the bar.
Held: The foreman was a vice
principal.
Whether defendant was guilty of
negligence in ordering the plaintiff
to assume a dangerous position
without proper instructions or
warning was a question of fact.
1t was also a question of fact
whether plaintiff assumed the risk.
Reversed and verdict reinstated.

People Of Northwest Part OF
County are Determined 10
Secure 4 Railroad.

''~ sA'~SssN4 was AO1O a. euS
town hall in the town Of Arctander
on Feb. 9Th. called pursuant to no.
tice to discuss the question with
reference to what action should be
taken to induce or encourage some
railway company to build a line or
branch Of railway through this sec
ti0n Of the country. The towns of
Lake Andrew. Dovre. Mamre and
Norway Lake. Hayes in Swift Coun-
ty besides Arctander were repre-.
sented at the meeting. Perfect u
nanimity prevailed that something
definite should lie done towards get
ting railroad and there is consid-
erable sentiment that in case no
rail road company will build
through this section within rea-
sonable time that the farmers and
the business people along a certain
route build railroad themselves.
"A head or central organization was
perfected and officers elected. The
officers are: President, P. A. Gand-
rud. Of Sunbur9;; Secretary, Ben
Halvorson, Of Norway Lake. and
Treasurer, A. J. Syse. of Sunbure.
A fund was raised to defray the
necessary expenses of the organiza-
tion. AS an initial step of. the
organization it was decided to make
an effort to induce the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul R. r. Co. :,
to change its proposed route as
preliminary surveyed last summer
from Hutchinson so as to go thru
the southern part of Meeker County
the south eastern part of Kandi-
yohi County, via Willmar, Sunburg
or through the northwest part of
Kandiy obi County. the northeast
part Of Swift County, via New
Prairie or Starbuck in Pope County
to Elbow Lake where it will con-
meet with the original survey Of the
company. Committees will at once
be appointed to 60 into the town
Eships or. localities that: will be af-
fected or benefited by such pro-
posed route of railway where
organizations are to be made, off,
GERS and proper committees elected
that will gather necessary statistics,
ETC., in their respective commun-
tiles and who will communicate
with the officers of the head organ
ization. At such time as is deemed
proper. delegates are to be an
pointed by the several localities in
terested and that all such delegates
elected go in a body to the head
office of the company in Chicago to
present their case. If the organiz-
alton fails in it's efforts in this in
stance, it is its senese to adopt
some other course of action. A
resolution was adopted instructing
the officers to try to secure the CO.
operation of the Commercial Club
of the city of Willmar in the prose
cution Of the work or the plans of
the organization. 49,. d. $3.50
