Farmers from the vicinity of Red
wood Falls attended the sessions of
the institute now being held at the

SHADOW SCARES THE
GROUND HOG INTO LONG SLUh1BER

Sunday, was the day for the annual
debut of the "arctomys monax" or in
other words it was ground hog day.
Judging from the weather as it pre-
vailed here Sunday, it's safe bet that
the old boy saw his shadow. The
ground hogs in the vicinity of Red
wood Falls have the reputation of liv-
ing up to the strictly American festi-
val that originated no one knows
where, and so far have resisted all eff
forts to shunt it into the discard.
On this day the ground hog species
of the woodchuck family is supposed
to wander out of his underground resi-
dence, where he has been alternating
and view the adjacent scenery.
If by chance the sun is wandering
around the heavens and the animal
gets sight of his emaciated shadow, he

Route for the New
Electric Railway
Two Entrances to Redwood Falls Are
Carefully Examined by Represen-
tatives of Luse Co.
WILCOX REFUSES TO TALK
Chief Engineer Has Nothing to Say
About the Plans of the Concern
Employing Him
STATION NEAR BALL PARK
That is One PrOposal-AnOther Would
Bring Road Into Town From
| The East

Redwood Falls is soon to be in dir
ect connection with Minneapolis by
means Of an electric line now being
built.
Engineers, headed by Chief Wilcox,
were in Redwood Sunday and yester-
day making thorough and extensive
examinations of the grades and trying
to select site for the new station.
Local Men Helped 'em
Representative business men includ-
ing H. A. Baldwin, F. R. Lobdell and
j. P. Cooper cooperated with the engi-
neers and endeavored to point out the
most desirable routes into the city.
May Build Station Out West
Two temporary surveys were made.
One brings the road into Redwood
from the west and would locate the
station across the river near the ball
park. Of course there is objection to
this because of the long freight haul
and the difficulty of reaching the sta
ton on foot, especially in the winter.
The engineers seem to favor this To-
cation.
May Follow Crow Creek
The other would bring the road into
Redwood from the east giving the
engineers an opportunity of taking adj
vantage of the long grade up the
Crow Creek.
May Use Old Grade
In any event it is expected that the
Luse company will make use of part
of the grading done by the long since
defunct Gulf of Mexico company
which had wild dreams and little cash.
This will lessen the expense and make
more accessible the rather serious
grades of the Minnesota river valley.
Road Sure to Come
At any event it seems certain that
the road is coming to Redwood Falls
and will be SO located as to give the
residents of this long suffering city a
real comfortable feeling when they
decide that the exigencies of the case
compel them to go to Minneapolis.
From here the engineers went west
it being at present planned to make
Marshall the western terminus of this
branch

Serious Accident at
LdmbertOn Station
John Schwengler and William Hall
Killed By Passenger Train at
Railroad Crossing
THIRD MAN SLIGHTLY HURT
Company Had Been Notified By A. H.
Emerson That Grade Was
Dangerous

Two men were killed and one was
injured when a Northwestern passen-
ger train struck wagon on cross
ing at Lamberton about 5:25 Thursday
afternoon.
The dead are John Schwengler,
farmer, who lives north of Lamberton,
and William Hall, who resides in the
state of Washington.
Ben Briske, who was visiting Mr..
Hall, was injured about the hips and
was stunned, SO that he does not re-
member what happened to him. He
il Ill Ii to be about today.
Riding In Wagon
The three men were going home
from Lamberton in the wagon, and
they were all standing up when the
accident happened.
The crossing is about four blocks
from the Lamberton depot and the
track is partially shut off from view
by an elevator. 1t was showing hard
at the time of the accident so that the
men did not see or hear the train, so it
is thought by some people. The wag-
on was struck squarely by the pilot of
the engine and smashed into bits.
Body Found on Pilot
Mr.. Schwengler's dead body was
found on the pilot Of the locomotive
and Mr.. Hall was thrown from the
wagon. His body was found a short
distance from the track. Mr.. Schwen-
gler was dead when he was found and
Mr.. Hall died within a few minutes.
He lived until taken into the depot.
Briske Helped
Mr.. Briske was able to assist in
placing the two men on the train
which carried them to the depot, but
he has no recollection of the accident.
Conductor Thomas Hughes was in
charge of the train and Engineer S.
w. Schooley was in the cab.
Skulls Were Crushed
The two dead men were taken into
the depot and hasty examination
showed that their skulls were crushed,
faces badly cut and lacerated, but
there were comparatively few marks
on their bodies.
John Schwengler was forty-five
years old and leaves wife and five
children. The team which they were
driving was owned by him and he
was taking Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Briske

returns to the bosom of his family for
another nap of six weeks, and the
weather sharks strain their vocabu-
larry in predicting six weeks of cold,
bitter, winter weather.
But if the sun fails to shine on Can
dlemas day, then the grounding is
supposed to remain out and devote his
attention to acquiring a. few square
meals.
There has been considerable discus
sion as to the veracity of this alleged
weather sign, and almost everybody in
the United States has been inter
viewed at some time or other about it,
with the exception of the ground hog
himself. Some day a genius will
evolve the idea of asking the ground
hog about it, and then the mystery
viii be cleared up.

That distinguished air that broods
like an aureole around the manly brow
of w. B. Clement is due to his lurid
and happy experience while sojourning
in Mexico.
Shorty went south with land train
two weeks ago and incidentally set
stakes in Texas for future sales. But
going to Texas wasn't half the fun.
The energetic leader of the party
took advantage of the opportunity and
escorted the entire bunch of free, low
ing Americans over into Mexico where
a real bull fight was on.
The party of eighteen entered and
prepared to be thrilled. They were.
Mr.. Clements description of the
scene is graphic but punctuated as to
make it hardly printable. He saw the
