Chrisman of Nevada, Iowa, was an
over Sunday guest.
!, Mrs. r. E. Grice of Kerns and
Mrs. Wesley Vrooman and baby OF
! Hebron went to Princeton, Mimi,
Wednesday of last week to spend
few days with Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
| Whitcomb and family.
The farmers who were getting so
| discouraged last week on account of
the wet weather all wore the smile
4 that won't come off-when the
weather report came Thursday say
ing, fair. All threshing machines
in the neighborhood were running
on Sunday

A team belonging to c. E. Au-
ranger of West Mankato took lively
run up Broad street last evening at
/ about seven o'clock. Mr.. Auranger
I was driving the team, which was
/ hitched to wagon. AS he passed
! Vine street an auto swung around
the corner, the horses became fright
1 ened and dashed the wagon against
1 the curb and threw Mr.. Auranger
! out. The team then made des-
perate dash up Broad street, the
wagon banging on their heels at
every step, which frightened them all
/ the more. The wagon wheels pass
ed over Mr.. Aurcnger's hand and
/ cl, hnr n a4&rfii1 Cnna6
up Broad street until they came to
/ Warren street. There the pavement
was little slippery and one of the
horses slipped and fell The other
dragged down by the weight of the
fallen horse, soon stopped and this
ended the thrilling. affair.
The runaway was a thriller because
at each step it seemed as if the
wagon must be dashed into tele-
phone pole and smashed to splinters.
Nothing of the kind happened, how
| ever. John Macbeth made a thrill
ing pursuit after the flying team in
an automobile and he says that the
team "sure did go some."
4 Mr.. Auranger was picked up and
his injuries were dressed by DR..
Kemp. He was feeling all right this
morning, although his shoulder was
livery stiff and his hand little sore.

Emil Uppstrom, as administrator
of the estate of his brother, the late
! Frank o.. Uppstrom, has begun a
suit against the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad com,
pany for $500, claiming that this
amount is due on account of the
death of Mr.. Uppstrom. 1t will be
recalled. that Mr.. Uppstrom's knee
cap was broken while he was I'M
loading some ties for the Omaha road
near Savage last February, and af-
| ter several months of suffering in a
hospital here, his death resulted.
Both legs were amputated before
his death, but blood poison spread
throughout his system. The COM
l. plant alleges that negligence on the
part of the railroad company caused
the death of the young man. He was
employed as bridge carpenter. II
also alleges that too much haste was
necessary in unloading a load OF
, these ties, as there was no sidetrack
at this place, and the train which
was hauling the ties had to get back
! to sidetrack before a passenger
could go through. s. B. Wilson is
the attorney for Mr. Uppstrom, and
{, the case will probably be tried in
, the November term of >she district
court.
