Near a Serious Accident

Clells.nd, the six year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Gibson of
west 4th street, came near meet
ing with very serious accident
Monday morning when he fell
off the laundry wagon, getting
his left leg caught in the spokes
of the wheel, dislocating the
knee. The little fellow, togeth
er with the Calder children, had
been riding about on the wagon
during the morning while Roy
was gathering laundry. They
bad returned to the Laundry with
a load and the rest of the chill
dren had left the wagon. Tie
horse, being bothered with the
flies, had started to walk down
the street and the little fellow
evidentally had attempted to
jump from the wagon and in do
ing so caught his leg in the
spokes OF the wheel. His cries
attracted passers-by who rushed
out and stopped the horse, and
released the little fellows leg
from the wheel. Clelland was
taken into DR.. Langenderfer' S
office where it was found that
his leg was dislocated at the
knee and his head and arm were
cut. 1t may be some weeks be-
fore the little fellow will be able
to be out again.
Had the wagon been heavier or
had the horse started to run it is
likely that the boys leg would
have been torn from the body.
AS it was his leg stopped the
wheel from turning and this
saved his leg from further seli-
Gus injury.

DEAD MAN FOUND
NEAR BENOIT
Thos. Erickson Passes A.
way in Sand Pit
Body Brought to This City
by Coroner. Shipped to
Brandt, S. D.


The body OF Thos. Erickson, an
employee of the Hines Lumber COM
pany at teeir camps near Benoit, was
found in a sand pit about two miles
from Benoit last Friday afternoon by
employees of the camp who were on
their way to Benoit.
Erickson had left the camp during
the morning with other companions,
it being their intention Ito go to Be-
mott. At about the noon hour Frick-
son told his companions to go on and
that he would catch up with them
later on. Late in the afternoon
Erickson was found in a sand pit by
workmen coming from the camp, the
man having been dead for some hours
at that time. The body had laid ex-
posed to the sun during the afternoon
and was in bad condition when
found. The body was removed to
the camp and Coroner Amos M. Ham
sen of this city was notified by Fore
man Barnhardt of the Hines camp.
Mr.. Hansen left Saturday morning
for Benoit and returned in the after
noon with the body.
Thos. Erickson was man about
thirty-five or forty years of age. For
some time he had been working at
the Hines camps, finishing his work
July 3rd. He was of rather heavy
build. On his right arm was tatooed
Masonic emblem and on his left arm
were other TATTOO marks. Death was
due to alcoholism.
Letters found in his pockets indi-
Gated that he had sister residing at
Wabasso, MINI. and she was notified
by wire by Undertaken Hansen. An
other sister was located at Candy,
Mimi. and mother was located at
Brandt, S. d. The body was pre-
pared for burial and shipped to
Brandt, S. d. yesterday morning
where it will be buried.

more, simply to gratify the wishes
OF few people.
1t does not seem reasonable that
the State Highway Commission
should have power to say how the
County Board shall spend it's money.
Surely the people have some say r
the matter.
The county raises money for the
state highway fund, pays 20 pei
cent of the amount for mainta tanning
the Commission. then has to petition
the Commission to get 80 per cent Of
it back, simply to let the State High,
way Commission have the say over
the roads to be constructed in IL {
county.

Fo r Democratic Nomination
for Congressman.
Says that He is Not Looking
for Any Political Office
at this Time.

During the past week the Superior
Telegram contained an article stating
that an effort was being made by
people throughout the 18th Congress
sional district to get John Walsh of
this city to consent to enter the field
for the Democratic nomination for
congressman from this district. In
this connection the Telegram had the
following to say:
The eleventh congressional district
of Wisconsin attracted considerable
attention at the Baltimore convention
by reason ofsthe fact that this district
was represented by FJohn Walsh of
Washbum. In addition to seconding
the nomination of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson Mr.. Walsh was prominent in
the battle which finally resulted in
the choice of the New Jersey school
master and not little of the glory
of the big progressive victory be-
longs to the Wisconsin man.
Superior admirers of Mr.. Walsh
already are booming him as the party's
congressional candidate in this dis
trict. Before the convention his
name was often mentioned in this
connection and during the democra-
tic conferences when W.. j. Bryan
was here recently Mr.. Walsh was
urged to be candidate. Following
his prominence at Baltimore it is pro-
bable that the requests will be vigor-
ously renewed.
When seen by Times reporter
Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Walsh stated
that he would not be candidate for
the democratic nomination as con-
gressman from the 18th district, say
ing that he was not looking for any
political office at this time. When
asked as to the political situation Mr..
Walsh said that the Democrats would
carry the country this fall, and that
it was his belief that the State of
Wisconsin would go Democratic.
Progressive state papers are also
boosting Mr.. Walsh for Governor on
the Democratic State ticket.

Business Has Grown to
Large Proportions.
Fruit Has Been Bringing
Good Prices on the Mar
ket. Rain Needed.

That the strawberry business in
the Washbun-Bayfeld district has
been growing by leaps and bounds
was demonstrated during the past
week when shipments from the two
points were made by the trainload.
On Sunday evening an entire train
loaded with the luscious fruit left for
the Twin Cities and other points, and
the shipments have continued during
the week. The heaviest shipments
have come from the Bayfield, district
where they have gone into the busi-
ness extensively but the Washburn
district has not been far behind, pull
ing out with .one or two cars daily
since the beginning of the season.
Hundreds of people have been en-
ployed during the season picking and
marketing the crop which it is estim-
ated will run up into thousands of
dollars. The Stevens ware house in
this city has been one of the busiest
places in the city since the opening
OF the season. Teams have been
lined up continually during the day,
either unloading berries or getting
crates, and the crew at the ware
house have been kept on the Jump
packing the berries in cars ready for
shipment.
Growers are satisfied with their
crop and the returns that they will
get for the fruit marketed. Had
there been rain during the forepart
of the picking season one ofthe heavi-
est crops that had ever been grown
in this region would have been mar
keted. As it was all report good
yield.
Next season there will be, double
the acreage which will mean double
the work in marketing the crop,
with double the returns to the grow
er.
