TWO HURT At 5 SAWMll.l


Henry Sauer, who has been employ,
ed at the local sawmill since it's open.
ing this season was seriously injured
about 8 o'clock Tuesday morning while
repairing q broken chsfn. He had the
chain practically repaired and was IN
the act ofssetting it in place when the
accident occurred. He asked his partner
to start the machilery very slowly, not
thinking that this was impossible With
out shutting down the whole mill. The.
chain started ont at full speed and
caught his, arm, dragging it between
the cogs, with the result that his arm
was als6 torn open in several places. He
was rushed to the hospital where he re-.
ceived surgical attention. The attend
ing surgeon stated that everything
possible will be- done to save the arm
but that there is but little hope Of his
ever regaining the use of it.
= Another accident occurred at about
the same time in the lumber yards
when Adolph Fearing, who drives
team for the company, fell from the
wagon, sustaining broken collar
bone and an injured shoulder. He was
taken to his home, where surgical help
was called. His injuries, however, are
not Of serious nature and it is but q
question Of time when he will be able
to resume work.

LINDBERGH AGAINST BANKS
TN ALI, MONEY LEGISLATION

Washington, April "a resolution
was introduced by Representative
Lindbergh today to prevent the ap-
pointment of the banking and curren-
cy committee, Of members who are
bankers, or agents or attorneys OF
banks, or who are interested in the
profits of the banking business.
The preamble Of the resolution re-
cites that since the civil war, Con-
gress has allowed the bankers to con-
troll financial legislation by permitting
interested persons to serve on the
committees in charge of financial leg
islation. Financial interests, Mr.. Lind
bergh alleges have by their agents
practically controlled the appointment
Of members Of the banking and cur
rency committee, which, he declares,
is subversive of the best interest of
the people.

hall to take up the NJ. w. A.. head.
quarters, proposition. The attendance
at the meeting was very small.
J. W. Crossfeld appeared for the
Woodmen and gave considerable in.
formation regarding the future Of the
Minnesota order. The plans Of the
Minnesota Woodmen is to organize 9
state order and in event that this
would be done it would mean an OF.
flee force Of about fifty. This would
require large building and the An
tlera hotel has been suggested as a
very suitable place for headquarters.
There are in this state about 700
camps, which would mean about 50,.
900 members for the order. The reason
for the Minnesota Woodmen wishing
to withdraw from the. head camp is
that its members must pay high rates
foi insurance where it has the lowest
death rate Of any state in the union,
population considered. -
In order to get the new order start.
ed it would be necessary to raise at
least $4,000 and if the amount is raised
by this city it may mean the location Of
the headquarters here. J. w. Crossfeld
was authorized to notify the head Of
the insurgent Woodmen that this sum
would be raised and turned over ia
them if they would decide to locate
here permanently
Several of the citizens expressed
theif views regarding the possibility
Of getting the headquarters hare and
they stated that it would bc Of great
benefit to the city. =.

public concerts throughout the snm
mei, and will report at the next meet.
ing OF the Commercial club.
The proposition Of getting con.
nections with the 500 railroad in this
city. was also discussed but no definite
action waa taken in this matter.
The Commercial club met in special
session at the city hall last evening to
discuss the Woodmen proposition
which had been taken up by. the club
Tuesday evening. The meeting was
held after going to press and the exact
particulars could not be obtained.
A letter has been received from the
insurgent leaders in response to the
proposition submitted to them by the
club through J. w. Crossfeld. They
ask that the money be made available
sooner than was promised.
The main object Of the meeting
was to have committee appointed
which would confer with the officers
and get a guarantee that the prop
osition would mature and that they
would locate here permanently if the
bonus was raised.
