!, BOY KILLED WHILE
HANDLING SHOTGUN
Elmer Espellnd Found Dead IN
6fanaIy By Mother After
Shot IS Heard.

A fearful accident occurred last
Friday morning at ten o'clock at the
Halvor Espelind place, two and one
half miles southwest of Willmar,
when the twelve-year-old son, Elmer,
went to the granary, took down his
fathers loaded shotgun, which hung
under the rafters and in some way
discharged the load in such a way
that it struck him in the body and
passed through his heart, causing in
stantaneous death. The mother heard
the shot and rushed out to the gran
ary to find her son dead, and the body
in a sitting posture on the crossbeams
above. No one witnessed the acci-
dent but it was clear to all how the
sad accident had occurred.
Elmer Espelind was born at WILL
mar Nov. II, 1910, and thus attained
the age of II years, months and 10
days. He had reached seventh grade
in the local schools, and was bright
boy and apt pupil. His untimely
death was a great shock to all the
friends of the family and schoolmates
of the deceased. He is mourned by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Halvor Es-
pelind and five sisters and one broth
er-Mrs. Peter Asp, Minnie, Myrtle,
Tillie, Eunice and Anthony. The
family has the profound sympathy of
all in their af1iction.
The funeral occurred yesterday,
Tuesday, at one o'clock at the Baptist
church, Rev. c. E. Oberg officiating.
The pail bearers were comrades of
the deceased.

MAKE SOME MONEY
FOR YOURSELF
Plan For Boys and Girls to Do
Something g For Themselves.
Co. Fair Will Encourage.

Why should half grown boys and
girls run to their parents every time
they need little spending money?
Such a course is responsible for a lot
of dependent backboneless loafers:
They can earn pocket money in many
ways and at he same time receive
the best possible business training
and develop the traits of thrift, self
confidence and industriousness that
will be invaluable later in life.
Why not give the boys and girls a
chance? Poultry keeping offers very
pleasant and profitable work for the
responsible boy or girl and we be-
lieve parents should encourage and
assist those who would enter the 1914
Poultry Contest. At a recent meet
Ing of the Board of Managers of the
County Fair Association the sum OF
$500 was appropriated to be offered
as special prizes for the best poultry
to be exhibited at the county fair by
boys or girls under 18 years of age.
The money will probably be divided
as follows:
Best pair of Plymouth Rock chicks
any variety, 1st, $500; End, $3.50; 3rd
$1.00; 4th, soc.
Best pair Rhode Island Red chicks
any variety, list, $500; End, $3.50;
3rd, $1.00; 4th, SOC.
Best pair Wyandotte chicks, any
variety, 1st, $500; End, $3.50; 3rd
$1.00; 4th, soc.
Best pair Orpington chicks, any
variety, list, $500; End, $3.50; 3rd
$1.00; 4th, SOC.
Best pair Leghorn chicks, any var
iety, 1st, $500; End, $3.50; 3rd, $1.00
4th, SOC.
Let's make this contest a success.
