Horrible Accident

Last Thursday afternoon about 4:30
as No. 283, the coast freight, was
pulling westward, four men appeared
a few rods west of the coal sheds for
the purpose of ste aling a ride. Three
of the number were successful in
securing a firm hold but the fourth was
less fortunate. The bar on the side of
the car which he grasped gave way and
the unfortunate man was hurled
beneath the wheels, while the train
continued its westerly course bearing
his companions, who have not been
seen or heard of since. 1t was found
that the mar who fell had both legs
severed from the body, the left leg at
the hip and the right leg at the knee
DR.. Miller, the railway surgeon here,
was soon on the spot, and took the
proper ~precaution to prevent the poor
fellow from bleeding to death Pass
enger train No. / arrived from the
east soon after, and the doctor put the
unfortunate man On said train and
accompanied him-all but the severed
legs, they were left here on account of
the limited time-to st. Luke's hos
pital Aberdeen. He regained con-

name was Roy Stout and that he had
hailed from ~Stransbury, Mo. His
parents are dead and he has no known
relatives living. News comes from
Aberdeen that Stout died at $50 the
following morning. He was apparently
between 30 and IS years of age. Let

and find out more concerning this
mysterious unfortunate man.-Andover

Makes First Application

j. c. Nichols, who resides near Holm
quist, was in the city before Judge
Duggan Tuesday to have his applica-
ton for a pension under the new law
passed by the present congress sworn
to, having received his papers through
the agency OF the National Tribune.
These are the first set of papers to be
made out in Day county under the new
law under the provisions of which the
old veterans, injuries OF inirmities,
age and time of service are all taken
into consideration. Mr.. Nichols will
draw under the new law $27 per month
and had his term of service been four
months longer would have been entitled
$50 per month. Uncle Nichols has
hosts of friends in the county who will
hope the granting of his pension will
not be long delayed.

Mrs Dina Olson Stegen was born In

United States, locating in the State Of
Wisconsin in 1857. Three years later
she was married to Austin Hanson and
IN 1865 Mr. and Mrs Hanson moved to
Minnesota where In 1876 Mr. Hanson
who was a veteran Of the Civil War,
passed away The deceased came into
this locality In South Dakota in 1885
where she first lived on a claim with
the rest of the earlier settlers, becom-
ing Injured to its privations and seeing
this country develop into the great
commonwealth of which we are all
proud. Mrs Hanson was a good wom-
an whose life was filed with labors of
mercy and help. No one who knew
her could help but respect her. Our

THURSDAY, MAY BOTH
rs DESIGNATED BY ACT OF
U. s. 2ESS
AS NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY
And Every Citizen Should Lay
Aside Labor and Pleasure
and Assist in Exercises
Concentrating the
Soldiers Deeds

There is no day in the category of
holidays so worthy of proper and fitting
celebration as Memorial Day. By gath
ering in the morning with our tributes
Of flags and flowers and assisting the
old soldiers still remaining to decorate
the graves of their departed comrades,
we can show in a small way our appre-
citation of the heroic efforts and sacri-
fees of those who have given their
lives in their country's cause either on
the field of battle or from disease or
wounds thereon secured and we can
warn the hearts and soften the sorrows
of those who still r-main by the knowl-
edge that, now their years weigh heav-
lily upon them, the beautiful memorial
services are still continued and will be
perpetuated so long as the United States
remains free.
The services in the afternoon with
patriotic music, songs and speeches have
a still greater meaning in that, besides
the reverence they give to soldiers
deeds, they teach to the young that the
United States never forgets nor fails to
pay tribute to. the deeds of valor and
sacrifice performed in her behalf, CIV
ing the growing generations a lesson in
patriotism that they could receive on
no other occasion.
The citizens of Webster are and have
always been imbued with these ideas
and May 30 has seer the old and the
young, the rich and poor, sanity and
sinners, low and high vie with each
other in the proper observance.
This year the commercial club has
taken charge of the matter and have
arranged for committees for every
thing and those committees will see
that nothing is overlooked in the impress
sive ceremonies showing respect and
gratitude to the soldiers living and
dead and at the same time instilling in
the minds of the young that those who
met the foes of the nation do not make
the sacrifice in vain but are remembered
forever as heroes in the hearts of their
patriotic -ountrymen.

preparation o. a meal. Competition ran
high and remarkable skill in cookery
was evinced by both men and girls.

graced with fish deliciously prepared.
None of the fish stories boast of more
than a five pound pike, which was
caught by n of the young women

great success and found the time all
too short.

The Auto Stopped

Last Friday Phillip Gross, George
Cease and w. E. Smith made a trip out
in the country with Pills big Buick
car. The roads were in fairly good
shape and everything went along in fine
shape until, all of a sudden, something
happened and despite all the efforts and
the combined knowledge of the gentle
men to start It there was nothing doing.
At last they gave up in despair and
employed a farmer with a good strong
team, wagon and rope to bring them
into Webster. They report a most
ENJOYABLE day.
