scenes at the Patterson Wreck

The firemen arrived in force, also
several of the police department
but it was not deemed advisable to
attempt to rescue the man who was
entombed until the danger of the
falling brick was removed.
Some Delay Followed.
A great deal of delay was caused
because everyone seemed to have a
different idea OF how to get the pill
lar to break off and fall out of the
way Some thought a rope ought
to be used to pull it over, but the
problem was finally settled by H.
Glenn Allyn and several others,
who with pike poles, scaled the tot
tering walls, and pushed the upright
pile of bricks over Until the i'm
prisoned man was removed, Mr.. Al
Ign and his loyal force from the
garage worked like Trojans with the
firemen to get the debris removed.
A large part of the west end of the
building fell upon the roof of a par
TALLY loaded box car, smashing it
apart AS soon as the immediate dan
ger of falling bricks was removed,
everybody wanted to help to dig
young Skoog out of the mass of
bricks, mortar, beams, boards and
merchandise. He called to those
outside, that he was all right, but
urged them to hurry and get him
out. His head was free, and he ex-
perienced little difficulty in breath
ing. He had fallen underneath a
rack used to repair bicycles, and
his head and shoulders were protect
ed by the, rack. His legs and the
lower part of his body were held
tight under the pile of debris. A
bicycle frame also helped to hold
him down, weighted from above with
tons and tons of the mass of wreck
age. All the firemen exerted super

Near the southern city limits
Stillwater's Company K of the Third

cort headed the procession. Weston
changed his hat again and put on
his coat. He came down Main street
of Saltwater behind the militia and
before a long line of autos.
Flags were hung along the line of
march to welcome him. The side
walks were thronged with people from
the whole city and countryside who
shouted and cheered him. Every
factory, and workshop and loocmo-
/ tive in Saltwater let go it's whistle.
Church bells rang and in every pos
sible way the Minnesotans showed
their appreciation of the pedestrians

Everyone Wanted to Hell

Everyone wanted to help, or to
see the others work, and the result
was that the scene of the rescue
was mob of excited, noisy people,
and it was with difficulty that the
workers could hear the directions
given them by Chief Leas of the
Fire Department and others. Judge
w. l.. Comstock mounted the pile
of wreckage, and worked with a
| long pike pole in his hand, pushing
like a crusader of old in a tilt with
a bloody Mohammedan. J. B. Mel
sen was also a valuable man in
the hour of disaster, and doing all
that man of his Drawn and mus
Gle could do. 1t was a task where
the highest premium went to those of
the greatest physical strength, and
the heroic struggles against the tons
of wood and bricks was amazing.
The sun beat down mercilessly, and
the perspiration poured off the men
in streams Chris Burmeister, Dan
T. Bowen, Frank Stobbin and Jacob
Schauss, men of powerful frames,
fought for all that was in them to
get the wreck cleared. Thomas Nc
Govern climbed the poles and cut
which lead into the building, thus
cutting out the danger of fire.
George Laven, with remarkable pres
ence of mind removed an insulated
live wire, before its frayed end could
do any damage.
| Skoog Encouraged Men.
After an hours battle, the firemen
and the others had removed enough
of the wreck to see young Skoog's
face, and he smiled up at them
bravely and urged them to increase
their efforts. His GOODNESS and
nerve in lying helpless under the
ponderous mass gave the men re-
newed vigor and they worked all
the more frantically at the pile of
debris. 1t was at this time practic-
ally certain that the imprisoned man
was not suffering intensely on account
of the fact that his legs were
numbed by the great weight, and all
knew that if he could be gotten
out he would recover. His sisters,
Mrs. F. w. Druckenbrod and Mrs
/ John Peterson of North Mankato
who were anxiously waiting news
| from their brother were greatly re.
assured. The frantic crowd cheered
wildly. ]. C. Dewey was sent to
telephone to the boys mother that
she need not worry. Water was
brought to the scene in bottles,
pals and pitchers, and Mr.. Skoog
succeeded in drinking a few drops
/ through a rubber hose let down to
him through the boards and planks
Planks were used to pry off some
of the other beams and timbers, and
automobile jacks were used for the
same purpose. A rope was attached
