Second-Why have you not re-

Accident at Hanska.
While Carl Stones threshing rig
was at Ole Synsteby's place in the
town of Lake Hanska on Friday, an
accident happened which caused ia.
tai injuries to Jacob Synsteby, re-
sulting in his death in less than two
hours.
The threshers had just about fin.
ished the job at about seven o'clock
in the evening and were ready to
quit work when in some unknown
manner the boxes on the blower
shaft gave way, throwing out the
shaft and throwing off the belt.
At the time Mr. Synsteby was
cleaning up loose grain. He doesn't
see well, being blind in one eye and
in some way he got tangled up in
the belt. His thighbone from the hip
to the knee was terribly crushed and
he was almost torn asunder, but was
still alive when picked up and was
immed ately removed to his home
about mile distant and the doctor
summoned. He died, however, shortly
after he reached home.
The deceased was about forty-five
years old and had been resident
of Lake Hanska for over thirty years.
He is survived by his brothers, Ole
of Lake Hanska and Theo. Synsteby
of North Dakota, and his sisters, Mrs
Ole Lokke, who kept house for him.
