Drink Makes Trouble.

John Wright Of the town Of New
London was taken by the officers to
Willmar yesterday to answer to the
charge Of drunkenness brought against
him by his neighbor, Howard Town
send. 1t seems that Mr.. Wright,
while under the influence of liquor,
had called at the Townsend place last
Sunday evening and assaulted Mr..
Townsend and that the latter in self
defence had struck Wright across the
head with a pitchfork cutting a big
cash over his ear. He Immediately
went to town and swore out a war;
rant for Wright's arrest for assault
and battery. He was brought before
Justice Anton jacobson ir h e
night and placed under bonds to
keep the peace. Later the charge of
drunkenness was preferred against
him, as above stated, and the trial
was held before Judge Muller of the
Municipal Court here yesterday af-
ternoon. Wright was given a fine of
$40 and costs. Mr.. Wright is ord
inarily peaceful citizen, but liquor
happened to get away with his con-
troll.

INJURED AT
ice HOUSE
Roy Johnson Hurt by Caving of
Frozen Saw Dust at 6. N,
Ice House.

Roy Johnson, who was working
with the Fred Smith crew packing
ice in the Great Northern Railway
ice-houses iinzthe railroad yards, met
with an accident last Monday which
came very uear proving fatal, and
was an experience which he will al
ways remember, as one Of the ter
rible moments of his life. While he
was at work in the pit between the ice
and the wall Of the building, huge
mass Of frozen saw dust which was
hanging frozen to the wall, suddenly
caved down on him. Roy, though l8
years Of age, is very small in stature
and was completely buried under the
mass. Luckily the accident was no.
ticed by others Of the crew and the
lad was hurriedly dug out from his
perilous position. The chances are
that had not prompt assistance
reached him he would in a few mo-
ments have suffocated. He was TAX
en- to the Willmar hospital where he
now is lying quite badly bruised up
but with no bones broken and on
good way to speedy recovery.

TAILOR'S~ ARM
IS BURNED
J. ]. Ekander'S Dry Cleaning
Department Scorched by
Gasoline Explosion.

A fire in the dry cleaning depart
ment Of the J. J. Ekander tailoring
establishment yesterday afternoon
came very nearly doing serious dam
age. Mr.. Ekander was severely burn
ed on his left hand and forearm
which he carries in a sling today.
Mr.. Ekander was inspecting the
interior Of the washing machine with
the aid Of an electric incandescent
light, when the globe broke and the
gasoline which was in the washer, a
gallon or more, instantly ignited. AT
the same time Mr.. Ekander received
an electric shock from the broken
light and he was temporarily stun
ned. AS soon as he recovered him
self he called out and the men from
the tailor shop came to the rescue
A fire alarm was turned in, which
was promptly responded to, but the
fire had not any great headway
and was promptly extinguished. Mr.
Ekander's clothes were afre and his
left forearm burned severely. With
three tanks Of gasoline near the fire
it was indeed lucky that the fire was
so promptly put out. The loss will
probably not exceed 5000. Beside!
damage to machinery, betting, etc.
two suits Of clothes were burned.

ATTRACTIONS
AT THE PARK
Assembly Park Leased by c.
SCheffer for Summer
Season.

The Willmar Assembly. park has
been leased to Charles Scheffer, the
caterer, for the coming season. He
expects to operate the concessions,
dining hall and stands, and provide
band concerts, amusements and en-
tertainments as his patronage may
warrant. He will have a merry 60
round in the park and boats to let on
the lake. The Park Board has re-
served the use of the grounds for
County Fair purposes, and other
bookings already made for the sea-
son, and also a certain number of
dates for a chautauqua and other
gatherings, should such materialize.
The Park Board has retained the SER
vices Of K. T. Otos as resident care
taker Of the grounds and he will put
in his time at keeping up, improving
and beautifying the natural features
of the park. The outlook is now that
this splendid park property will be
permanently maintained and improv-
ed for the pleasure and edifcation of
the public Of Willmar and at large.
The losses of last years big assem-
bly, have been made good by the
stockholders, and the restrictions
adopted by the latter which provide
that the Park Board will not as such
become responsible for future pro-
grams, precludes any further fnan-
cial difficulties from that source.
Mr.. Scheffer's lease extends from
April Is to Oct l, with reservations
named. Mr.. Scheffer asks us to state
that he wishes to so conduct the con-
cessions at the park as to merit the
patronage and good will of the peo-
pie Of Willmar and vicinity. Picnic
parties will be welcome to use the
pavilion for lunching and may pur-
chase hot coffee, ice cream or any
thing with which they may wish 10
supplement the contents of their bas-
kets.
With the building of the new sewer
system, which will relieve the lake
Of that source of impurity and the es-
tablishment Of a permanent outlet,
the improvement Of the lake in the
appearance Of the shore line and fo1
boating will become a live question
Interest will be stimulated in time tc
lay out driveways along the shore
wherever possible and provide chan
nels to permit launches to run be-
tween the different parts Of the lake
The new state institution will be ar
interesting objective point for boat
ride on the lake. The cleaning ul
and beautifying Of Foot Lake is one
Of the steps necessary to future
growth and improvement Of Willma1
as a city.

STRICKEN BY
APOPLEXY
E. P. Story, Veteran Travelling
Salesman, Lies Unconscious
at Merchants Hotel.

p. P. Story, the well known, pop
ular and highly respected travelling
salesman, was overcome by apoplexy
while in Willmar yesterday after
noon, and is now lying in an uncon-
scious condition at the Merchants
Hotel. When he arrived on the train
yesterday afternoon, he went to the
Palace Grocery, as he usually does,
and left his grips there. The boys
at the Palace noticed that Mr.. Story
was not looking well. On his return
to the store later in the afternoon he
acted very strangely and was unable
to speak so as to make himself un-
derstood. He took his grips, how
ever, and carried them to the hotel.
He sat down at the dining room table
but the waiter was unable to under
stand his order. He got up from the
table without his supper and went up
to his room. His unusual actions
created alarm and when his room
was entered he was. found lying on
top Of the bed. He was then clear
enough in his mind to say that he
thought that he would soon be bet
ter. A physician was sent for, how
ever, and message was sent to Min
neapols to inform his folks Of his
critical condition. Mrs. Story arriv-
ed today and is at the bedside Of her
unconscious husband. They have a
son who is a physician at Minneap-
oils and it is the intention to take
the stricken man home tomorrow
morning, if it is possible.
Mr.. Story has travelled for Nc
Donald Brothers, a crockery firm of
Minneapolis, for seventeen years. He
has made this territory as regularly
as clock work during all that time,
and, even previous he made our towns
for an Ohio firm for four years. He
is 60 years Of age and is gentleman
in the truest sense Of the word. Hun
dreds Of friends thruout his territory
will hope that he may be spared.
