Last Sunday, shortly after noon,
Chas. FortWengler, aged 20, while
riding a motorcycle, crashed into
the automobile Of Alex. Russell on
the south side Of the Indian monu-
mens at the intersection of Center
and State streets. The car was in
charge of Mitchell Russell who was
climbing the hill and who expected
to turn south on State street. Just
as he was making the turn Fort
wengler was coming along at ter
rife gait. He saw his impending
danger and applied the brakes, but
the sudden jolt threw Fortwengler
violently to the ground and the mot
orcycle was thrown under the car
with such force that it was removed
with difficulty. Brown County Jour-
nal.
Ole Ringness and Syvert Skinde-
lien of Norway Lake had harrow
ing experience three miles below De-
lano last Thursday. They had start
ed from home early in the morning
with the intention of going to Min
neapolis. A little after nine o'clock
they had passed Delano. They were
in Mr.. Ringness' new Mitchell tour
ing car. While crossing the track
about three miles from Delano, the
car was struck by the Great North
ern mail train, which came tearing
along at the rate of 60 miles an hour.
The car is nearly a total wreck, but
both the men escaped without any
serious injuries. The engine of the
mail train was slightly damaged we
are told. The car was new one,
and the loss to Mr.. Ringness will be
considerable. Lars Halvorson of
this city saw the wrecked car Friday
as he passed the place of the acct
dent. Willmar Tribune.
Frank Zumwinkle had the misfor-
tune to have his large barn destroy
ed by fire last Tuesday with all its
contents including about twenty ton
of excellent hay which was in the
loft. Luckily Mr.. Zumwinkle had
all his work horses in the field at the
time or his loss would no doubt have
been greater. The barn was a two
story 26x40, and the origin Of the
fire is mystery. A small amount
of insurance was carried, the loss is
certainly hard luck considering the
shortage of crops this year. but
Frank takes it philanthropically and
says life is too short for excessive
worry Morton Enterprise.
