Will Not Stand the Work.

The new auto truck put on to haul
Mcconnell ore from the mine to the
railroad, is not going to hold up to
tn work. The road eats up the tires
at rapid rate, and the power neces-
sary to climb the hill is racking the
machine badly In all probability it
will not be used much longer. The
Mcconnell Company is now figuring
on putting in an aerial tram to trans
port the ore to the railroad.

DIED Of HEART TROUBLE
| Jesse D. Roberts, Lake CRYSTAL Farmer
Was Found Dead in Barn BY
His Son.
From Thursdays Daily.


Jesse d. Roberts, farmer living
on the w. d. Marston farm on the
outskirts of Lake Crystal, dropped
dead from heart failure last evening
in his stable. About six o'clock Mr.
Roberts put his team in the barn
and started to unharness them. II
was so dark that he sent his son to
the house for a lantern. The boy
returned in few minutes and
found his father dead in the stable
behind the horses. A physician was
summoned, but of course was too
late to render any assistance. Coro
ner Kennedy went to Lake Crystal
this morning and after making an
investigation of the death, decided
that no inquest was necessary.
Mr.. Roberts was born in Black
hawk county, Iowa, and was fifty-four
years old at the time of death. He
moved to Minnesota several years
ago and was well known in Lake
Crystal. Many friends join in ex.
tending their sincere sympathy to
the bereaved wife and family. Mr.
