Horrible Accident
BefaIls Young Man
Son of CORTLAND Farmer Caught in
Feed Mill, Crushed and
Mangled
CHANGE FOR WORSE IN SISTER
Death Was Instantaneous; Father i'm
New Ulm When News of Tragedy
Reaches Him

A terrible accident which resulted
fatally occurred at the village of
CORTLAND, Saturday afternoon about
three o'clock. William V. Vomhof in
company with Fritz Arndt had been
operating feed mill run by gasoline
engine at CORTLAND during the winter.
They were just about through and
ready to quit on the Hateful day when
young Vomhof was caught in the fly
wheel of the engine. Before his part
ner knew what was happening and
could stop the engine the unfortunate
young man had been whirled around
about dozen times, his head striking
against various projections on the ma
chinery. When he was released life
was extinct. His clothes were wound
so tightly in the wheel that it was
hard work to extricate him, but it was
finally accomplished by Mr.. Arndt and
others who had rushed in when they
heard of the accident. It was found
upon examination that the top of the
young mans skull had been literally
torn off and his brains spattered all
about. Death must have been instant
aneous. 1t was also found that the
bones of one arm were broken at sew
eral places, the flesh being lacerated
and torn loose
The deceased is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel w. Vomhof At the
time of the accident the father was in
New Ulm making arrangements to
have his daughter who had been a
patient at the ST. Alexander's Hospi-
tai for three weeks, taken home DR..
L. A. Fritsche who is attending her
thought it advisable to have her taken
home by auto and the father had
started for the depot to take the
afternoon train for home. When he
passed Engelbert's hardware store he
was called in by Mr.. Engelbert and
told of the fatal accident that had
befallen his son. The. family is pros
trated with grief. A celebration had
been planned for the evening in honor
of the home coming of the sister and
this added much to the pitiful aspect
of the case. The sick girl suffered
severely in her weakened condition
from the shock of her brothers awful
death and for time fears were enter
tanned lest she should not recover.

NATIONAL ROAD TO BE BUILT
State and Nation Will Both Aid in
Constructing This MuchNeeded
Road

The prospects for an early conStruc-
ton of the National Road are grow
ing brighter An effort is being made
to get National aid, and this together
with the help of the State ought to in
sure success. 1t had been hoped that
the proposed highway would be fully
mapped and published in the A. a. A.
Blue Book for 1913. This may not be
impossible as it appears that Renville
County has been slow in moving in
the matter. 1t appears that both the
Villages of Morton and Franklin are
little interested which will probably
necessitate a change of route The
road west of Redwood Falls is being
gravelled. The road east between
Redwood and Morton is not being
gravelled, and may not be. 1t is now
proposed to go a mile south past the
Indian Agency, then continuing east
ward over five miles of the best road
in Redwood County. Judge Laudon
who is acquainted with every foot of
the Wabasha Greek country says that
long easy grade can be procured
leading into the Minnesota Valley, and
that it is entirely unnecessary to
cross the Wabasha Greek, and will al
so shorten the present road consider
ably. The Minnesota river can be
crossed at Franklin, and either the
Franklin hill used, or better still the
road can be continued short distance
down the picturesque Minnesota Val
ley. Fairfax people inform us that an
easy grade can be procured out of the
Minnesota, and we will then strike the
main road as first proposed again at
Fairfax. When the matter of econ
omy is taken into consideration, this
will probably prove the most feasible
route and will probably be the one to
be constructed.

HIGH SCHOOL TO HELP FARMER
Prof. p. V. Finley Expresses Readi-
ness of Class to Help in Seed Dis
tribution or Testing

There are a good many farmers in
this county who will have good seed
corn, small grain, or grass seed for
sale this spring, and probably just as
many others who will wish to pur-
chase good seed. A means for bring
ing these two groups together would
be beneficial to both. Home grown.
acclimated seed is the best and cheap
est.
This department is willing to act
as your representative in this matter
and If there are farmers in the coun-
ty who have such seed for sale we
would be glad to receive a card very
soon, giving your name and address,
amount and variety of seed, price
asked, and if possible a small sample
Of the seed. We will then print a
seed-list in the near future, catalog-
ing these offerings.
Seed corn testing is also in our line,
and we are ready to begin at once. If
you have such needs come in and visit,
or write and let them be known. and
remember this service is yours for the
asking.

Adams Draws Plans
For a New Bridge
Money Can Be Raised il County Com
missiOners See Fit to
Do So
$4,000 COST TO REPAIR BRIDGE
Present Condition is Unsafe and
Something Should be Accom-
plished at Once

Engineer Adams was in the city
last Saturday in consultation with the
city council concerning the bridge over
the Redwood in this city.
While nothing definite was accom-
plished, Mr.. Adams was instructed to
draw plans for bridge so that a
clearer view of what could be done in
the way of building a new bridge in
stead of repairing the old one, might
be obtained.
The cost of repairing the old bridge
will be about $4,000 This would be
only temporary and the danger of the
curves would still exist.
For about two-thirds more than the
cost of repairing the old bridge, a
steel and cement bridge, several feet
wider, with strong steel ratings, could
be placed in the same location and
Strengthened SO as to avert all danger
at the approaches.
1t is up to the commissioners to de-
eide whether sufficient money can be
allotted for this work.
The expenditure of this work is d.
vided SO that the state and county
share with the city. The state appro-
priation can be obtained and if the
commissioners see fit to make an ap-
preparation Redwood will have a new
bridge ere long.
The traffic over this bridge is pro-
badly the heaviest of any in the coun-
ty and it should therefore be the SAT-
est. The present need of repair is
very evident, but it seems waste of
money to spend the amount necessary
for that purpose and then do the same
thing over few years from now and
still maintain the danger of the abrupt
turns at each approach.
We predict that the commissioners
will see the need of new bridge rath-
er than repair the old.

Remain and Practice Law
in New York.

WASHINGTON, March William
F. McCombs, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic committee, today told Presiden;
Wilson he did not care to go to Paris
as American ambassador at that post.
He informed the executive he preferred
to continue his law practice in New
York and conduct the affairs of tho
national committee.
President Wilson asked him to -e-
consider and he agreed to take the
matter under Amusement The presi-
dent gave him until the opening of the
special session to reach a decision.
President Wilson was closeted with
Mr.. McCombs for about one hour dur
ing which various matters Of patron
age and policy were discussed, particu-
larly the sensational situation in I'LL
nois and New Hampshire. McCombs
will return to New York tonight and
probably go to New Hampshire in the
next few days to try to break the dead
loci, there.
Mr.. McCombs bears the unique dis
tinctioin Of being the only man IN
America who can not be induced to eat
at the political pie counter. 1t is an
open secret that he was offered a cab
met position, and refused. Now he has
declined what is in many respects the
most desirable Of the diplomatic posts.
His refusal Of the post is due mainly
to the fact that he is not a rich man.

its diplomatic service makes it nccos-
sary for those who accept amba ssador-
ships to spend several times as much
as their salaries
