A fearful tragedy occurred in the
township Of Roseville last Saturday
afternoon when Mrs. Johanna Win
ther, wife of Mr.. Ole Winther, was
attacked in the dooryard by bull
and fatally injured.
Last Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o.
clock a terrible event took place
at at the Winther homestead, in the
Town of Roseville, four miles south
west from Paynesville. The cattle
broke out from the pasture and came
into the dooryard near the house.
Mrs. Whittier, who was about IS years
Of age, went out armed with a broom
to try to drive the cattle back. The
head of the herd, a large four-year-
old bull, became enraged and at
tackled Mrs. Winther, cruelty mang-
ling her body. Mr.. Whittier, the hus-
band, came to the rescue, and the
bull took after him. Mr.. Winther
was saved from injury by the daugh-
ter whc arrived on the scene and SCI
the dog on the bull, drawing his at
tention away from his victims.
Mrs. Winther passed away an hour
and half after sustaining the fear
full Injuries. The Winthers are among
the most highly respected families Of
Roseville and Irving townships. A.
mOng the children are DR.. Conrad
Winther, a dentist at Paynesville;

Reckless Hunters Should be Puni.he,

Reckless Hunters Should be Punished
Hunters who maliciously destroy
farm property not only brand them
selves most unfavorably but create
prejudice against those hunters who
act as gentlemen. We understand
that two young hunters were caught
shooting out the windows on Henry
Howell's new barn the other day. Mr..
Howell's dislike to make trouble for
a neighbor's family will probably give
these culprits chance to make set
tlement out Of court, but it seems a
pity if an example will not be made
OF them by giving them the limit of
the law. That would be the quickest
manner to put stop to the malicious
recklessness Of many Of these armed
depredators.

en- bag containing the sum Of $186.65
as a visible token of their feelings.
Rev. w. E. Pearson of the Bethel Lu.
theran church expressed the esteem
and respect Of neighboring congre-
cation, and Mayor E. C. Wellin voiced
the kindly feelings of the city as =
whole for the progressive interest the
pastor has evinced in civic matters.
Finally Rev. Michaelson was given
the floor and made a heartfelt res
ponse, extending his thanks to all.
Musical numbers were given by Miss.
es Berg and Holt. The rooms had
been tastily decorated in honor of
the event. Refreshments were serv.
ed to all present by the ladies of the
church. The remainder of the evening
was spent in social intercourse, and

in a happy frame Of mind over the
success Of the gathering.
