Mrs. Johnson Meets
Death By Burning
Vesta Woman Terribly Burned BY
Explosion of Gasoline Fumes -
Thanksgiving Day
DIED LAST SATURDAY NOON
Husband Still In Critical Condition;
Believed He May Recover;
Family Frustrated
DIED LAST SATURDAY NOON

Mrs. S. A. Johnson of Vesta died
Saturday noon as the result of burns
received Thursday noon, and her hus-
band, S. A. Johnson is still in a
serious condition from burns received
at the same time.
Miss Alice Johnson, daughter, had
been cleaning in a back room with
gasoline and upon finishing her work
went into the front part of the house,
leaving the bowl of gasoline in the
room where she had been using it
and the door between that room and
the kitchen open.
When Mrs. Johnson went into the
kitchen from the dining room a short
time after she found the room seeth-
ing with flames, caused by the gasoline
fumes meeting the heated air from
the kitchen.
Mrs. Johnson's two grandchildren
were near the flames and fearing for
their safety she rushed into the fire,
calling Mr.. Johnson to her assistance.
They succeeded in rescuing both
children before they received serious
hurt but were both terribly burned
themselves, Mrs. Johnson's burns be-
ing confined to her body, while Mr..
Johnson's were chiefly about his face
and hands.
Besides Miss Alice, a married
daughter, Mrs. Ray Barber and a
daughter-in-law Mrs. Chas. Johnson
were in the house. Mrs. John VOL
verton, Mrs. Johnson's sister was
called and a physician was quickly
on the ground, every thing possible
being done TO alleviate the intense
suffering of the burned woman, and
every effort made to save her life
She suffered intensely until death re-
leased her Saturday at twelve o'clock.
Mr.. Johnson is still suffering great
ly from his burns and is much weak
ened by the shock and grief of his
wife's death. How ever hopes of his
recovery are still held by those in
attendance upon him.
The funeral of Mrs. johnson will
be held at the home tomorrow and
interment will be made in the ceme-
terry of New Avon township.
The whole community of Vesta is
in grief because of the tragedy at
the Johnson home, and the family and
close friends are Frustrated with
grief at Mrs. Johnson's suffering and
DEATH They have the sincere SYM
pathy of every one in their great be-
reavement.

So-Called Remedies Flooding Mar.

The almost unlimited number Of hog

partment of the agricultural college

remedies as can be secured and pub

Thousands have been spent in the
last year for so-called hog cholera pre-
ventives," said DR.. Hoskins. "Most
of the remedies are worthless, or near
ly so. Some are sold under names of
brands thatare recognized to be up to
standard. The people who used them
found that they were not getting re-
suits and they sent them here. We
found them to be worthless.
II none case reported to us a ped
dler Of hog cholera remedy was ar

a mixture of kerosene, saltpeter and
water and alittie dye"
Each remedy, DR.. Hoskins said, viii

its constituents, and each viii then be
given practical test to see what ef-
feet it has on hogs affected by cholera.
The cholera situation, according to
authorities at the agricultural college,
has improved to the extent that all the
orders for serum are filled promptly.

they have enjoyed during the year

HAYCRAFT A CANDIDATE
Madelia Senator Files for Republican
Nomination for Congress-; Tariff
an Issue

Senator Julius E. Haycraft of Ma
della filed for the Republican nominal
ton for Congress in the Second dis
trict yesterday. He said he expected
to be elected, and that the best evi-
dence of this was the fact that he had
filed. In his opinion Mr.. Hammond
will be the Democratic nominee.
The senator said farmers of the
Second district feel that they have
been Disseminated against in the
Underwood tariff bill, and that he
agrees with them. That this will be
an important issue in the campaign is
certain.
Senator Haycraft served three
terms as postmaster at Madelia. He
was elected to the state Senate in
1910 and served as chairman of the
committee of elections during both
regular sessions and the special ses-
sion. He was author of the state
wide primary bill passed at the spec
ial session in 1912 and of the nonpar-
tisan primary bill passed in 1913.
He was brought into prominence
early in his Legislative career by his
action as chairman of the elections
committee in handling the Stevens
Saugstad and the Farrington-Fro
aug contests. By reason of his COM
mittee chairmanships he has been
identified prominently with almost
every piece of progressive legislation
passed during his legislative career.

Sen. Frank CIdgue
May Get Into Race
Visits FairmOnt and Talks to Sentinel
of Possibility of Making
Campaign
BACKED BY STRONG RECORD
Thinks Lawler Too Strong for Pfaen-
der; Tariff Bill To Decide Demo-
cratic Fate
BACKED BY STRONG RECORD

Senator Clague slipped quietly out
of town last week and was utterly
lost until discovered by a willy re.
porter of the Fairmont Daily SentineI
who proved his Witness by persuad-
ing the Senator to talk for publica-
tion-something he was never known
to do before. The following interview
with the Senator was published in
the Sentinel of last Friday.
cam l going to run for congress ?
Well, to be frank with you, am con-
sidering the question but have not yet
definitely decided. am looking over
the field and if l decide the Repub-
lican voters are friendly to my candi-
dacy / will probably file."
Thus spoke Senator Frank Clague
of Redwood county who, in company
with ex-senator w. A. Hinton, was
calling on prominent citizens of Fair
mont. The Senator arrived at the
Billiard House Thanksgiving even
ing, and is evidently on a tour of the
district.
Will Make Strong Fight
Senator Clague has long been a
prominent figure in Minnesota poll
tics. He has served as speaker of
the house and eight years as senator.
He occupied influential positions on
committees and has been potent
factor in shaping legislation for a
dozen years back. He is a ready de-
batter, able lawyer and his name has
been prominently connected with
some of the best laws in our statutes.
Lack of acquaintance will handicap
him in race with Senator Haycraft
and Frank Ellsworth, but he is a
strong man and if he enters the race
the one who runs against him will
have his hands full.
Talks State Politics
Asked as to his opinion on state
politics, he predicted that there would
be three or four candidates in the
field for the republican nomination
for governor and such mixup that
no one could predict. the outcome.
On the democratic side he was Of the
opinion that Lind or eastman were
the only ones who would stand any
show against Dan. LAWYER in the pri-
maries. Albert Pfsender, he said, had
to get into the race, but
The four big cities would give Lawleri
> majority that Pfaender could not
overcome.
Good Word for Wilson
On national matters Senator Clague
was very Hberal-minded Wilson
