r. N. Neelv Fatally Iniurad.

"A probably fatal accident befell
one Of Princeton's oldest and most
respected citizens last Sunday noon.
MI. IL. M. Nicely had, after the re-
gular morning services in the M. E..
church, attended meeting of the
brotherhood class, which was held
in the study of the church. Mr.. I.
p. Burgan of Minneapolis, who was
present and spoke at the class,
Thought he heard Mr.. Nicely fall im-
medlately after he had left the
study. Upon rushing to the door
Mr.. Burgan was Mortified to find Mr..
Nicely lying head downward at the
loot OF the cement steps leading to
the rear entrance of the study. Mr..
Neely's head and face we're covered
With blood and he presented a
shocking appearance. He was i'm
mediately conveyed to the North
western hospital, where DR.. Cooney
promptly attended to his injuries.
There was cash across the fore
head and the scalp was showed back
on the head for several inches. The
skull was not fractured but there
must have been severe conclusion
and internal hemorrhage of the
brain. Mr.. Nicely was unconscious
when discovered lying at the foot of
the steps and he is still in coma
tose condition. He continues to
grow weaker and the end can not be
far off. Owing to his advanced age,
50, there is small chance Of his re-
covery. The sad accident that has
befallen Mr.. Nicely has. caused a
feeling of gloom to pervade the
whole community.

Elk River-P rinceton Spelling Contest.

A couple of weeks ago Elk River
challenged the Princeton eighth
grades to a spelling contest, the
same to be held on Friday evening,
November 81. On the morning of
the 2lst Miss King, Miss Benda and
sixteen pupils from the eighth
grades took the train to Elk River.
The names of the Princeton pupils
who took part in this contest are as
follows: Lou Libby, Margaret
Hcf11ander, Florence Blocker, Ray
mond Nicely, Hazel Henschel,
Georgia feathers, John Berg,
Leonard Briggs, Jay Winsor, Ellen
Bulleigh, Erma Sleeves, Harriet
Mcmillan, Hjourdis Scheen, Earl
Branchaud, Adolph Lueck and Julia
Kaliher
The contest consisted of two parts,
written and oral. In the written
contest of $50 words the entire num-
Der of words missed by the Prince
ton contestants was IS, and the
number missed by the Elk River con-
testan was 176. Princeton wins in
the written contest. .. -. T.. .
In the oral contest Princeton had
eight standing when Elk River had
only three on the floor They we're
weeded out until Elk River had one
standing and Princeton two. The
word transient was pronounced and
misspelled by the Elk River girl.
Asked to spell it again she spelled it
correctly and was allowed to pass by
Prof. Quigley of the educational de-
partment of the state university.
The last Princeton speller on the
floor, Lou Libby, went down on the
word stationary, meaning fixed, and
Elk River won the oral contest.
The name of the winner was Odilie
LeFebvre. We of Princeton claim
that we have the best spoilers and
to settle this point definitely we
have challenged Elk River to return
contest, the same to be held in
Princeton during the early part of
January. During the day the
Princeton teachers, accompanied by
their pupils, visited all the grades
and the high school, The conduct of
our pupils as reported by their
teachers was above reproach.
Mr.. Arthur D. White, superintend-
ent of the Elk River schools writes
Miss Margaret I. King: "People
here in Elk River were delighted
with the contest and many teachers
spoke in high terms of the spelling
done by Princeton. I wish to thank
Mr.. Marshall and the teachers of
Princeton who made this match

Anderson favored the Union with a
call. He owns 160 acres of land in

improvements in Princeton and the
country tributary since his last
visit here two years ago. He says
that in Lyon county land prices
have advanced SIS an acre in the
last year, prices now ranging from
$50 to Sl20 an acre according to
quality. The 1913 corn crop there
was a big one, says he, but wheat
and other grain did not yield Sc
heavily. Mr.. Anderon is con
genial gentleman and farmer who
follows modern methods and has
made success of tilling the soil.
