Stranger Loses Life.

Watertown,- After suffering
terri Die agony until loss of blood
and pain let him sink into a coma
w. G Peck, believed to be a
transient farm laborcr, died in
the WatertoWn hospital Friday
morning from having his arm
run over by the wheels of the
freight ca" from which he fell,
four miles west of Clark Thurs
day night.
Although information of the
circumstances of the accident is
the rather vague and could not
be straightened out by any state
ment from the injured man him
self, it is believed that Peck fell
under the wheels of the moving
freight train as the car gave a
sudden lurch Companions with
whom he rode discovered that he
was uissing and when the train
reached Clark, the crew was in
formed of the accident and the
train backed up until Peck was
found.
He was brought to Clark and
there put on the Northwestern
passenger and hurried to this
city. His right arm was so bad
ly mangled that it was deemed
necessary to amputate it at The
shoulder Immediately. The in
jurcd man was so weak he could
not talk when he reached the
hospital and died few hours
later. His name was found on q
card i'm a pocket of his coat and
a Scribled address led to the be
lief that his mother is living
somewhere i'm Iowa. An attemp'
to locate her is being made.

by Clarence A. Munger, and were
intended to be sold to consumers

bic that the apples were in poor
condition at the time of shipment
for they were partially spoiled at
the time of arrival. Word was
sent to Commissioner Frary here
who immediately wired an inspect
tor to 90 to Bryant to look after the
case and take action lookiag to the
condemnation of the apples if con-
dtions warranted. Inspector Low
aid who was sent, found the apples
practically wholly unfit for food
and proceeded to Clark where the
State Attorney made out proper
papers for the condemnation and
seizure of the goods under the law.
Judge Sherwood held special
chambers Saturday evening and
after hearing the evidence ordered
the inspector to destroy the apples.
Inspector Lovald returned to Bry-
ant today to make suitable. dispos-
ition of them. This is the largest
consignment of food unfit for use
ever destroyed through the action
of the food and drugs department.
1t follows soon after the dispos-
ition in Aberdeen of 2SO0 pounds
of wormy raisins which were being
sold there after an attempt to con
ceal their filthy condition. The
inspectors have been on the job all
the time, however, and numerous
smaller lots of food have been con.
signed to the dump. Inspector

AUTO ACCIDENTS
AT DAY co. FAIR
Green Drivers Have Bunch
of Bad Mix-Ups.

Tuesday was the one good day
of the county fair and that end
ed disaStrously.
The real sporting feature of
the afternoon was the automobile
race between Frank Martens
driving Il Saxon, Clayton Dyke
driving a Ford, Truman Knott
with his racer and Frank Void
with his rebuilt car.
The race had been finished
with the Saxon in a long lead; it
had passed the wire, gone down
to the first turn and back to the
judges stand when Dyke came
down second, passed the wire
and then came to aquicll stop,
He didn't know thatknott was
close behind him and coming
down at full speed:
Before Dyke stopped the
crowd broke on all sides and be-
gan enroaching on the track, so
that when Knott came right be
hind Dyke he had one of two
things to do. either to pile up on
top of Dykes car or swing quick
ly to the left and strike an en-
bankment that must be three
feet high and nearly perpendicu-
lar. He chose the latter course
and swung out to the left for the
embanllment.
Unfortunate y this did not stop
the car. 1t plunged over the
embankment into the crowd,
which scattered in both direc-
tions, everybody getting out OF
the way except Fred Bloom S
boy, Carl and Miss Sigma Han
son, daughter of Andrew Han,
son of Lily.
| The young lady was knocked
down and run over and her left
limb was broken above the knee
while the boy sustained partial
fracture of the left leg below the
knee.

YOUNG FISH
FOR TRAVERSE
Traverse Lake Will Be Stock
ed With Young Fish.

The following article from the
Wheaton Gazette Reporter is in
teresting news to Sisseton ang
lers of the finny tribe: "A few
weeks ago Game Warden Lind
uuiSt and the editor of the Ga
zette- Reporter took up with Car
los Avery, state game and fish
commissioners, the proposition OF
stocking Traverse lake with fish
such as inhabited the waters of
Traverse in the early days.
When the writer first came to
Traverse county in 1882, fishing
was fully as good as in Big
Stone. Wall eyed pike, bass,
sunhsh and crappies were num-
erous and provided excellent
sport for the angler. The dry
years in the early nineties re-
suited in the water gradually
lowering until the upper lake
became entirely dry and the
water in the lower or open lake
extended no farther north than
the Spatford farm. Below that
point the water was very shallow
and in the winter the ice froze
to a depth that left but little
water for the fish to live in and
as a consequence they smother
ed by thousands. In the open
spots along the shore where
springs prevented ice efrom form-
ing, farmers armed With pitch
forks threw out tons of tine fish
and Salted them down for future
use, and in the spring the shores
were so lined with dead fish that
the stencil was almost unbear-
able. The only varities that
survived were the pickeral, perch
bullheads and suckers, the most
undesirable members of the
fnny tribe. Since that time the
lake has again attained the high
water stage and with the newly
constructed bitches constantly
adding a greatly increased sup
ply the year round there is little
probability that the water in the
lake will ever again fall to point
that will endanger the life OF
fish and there is no reason why
Traverse should not furnish the
same enjoyment to the people ot
this section that Big Stone does
to the people in that vicinity.
These facts were laid before
Commissioner Avery and in q
letter receivedthis week he states
that the work of restocking
Traverse will be undertaken. AT
the present time the state is en-.
gagged in obtaining its annual
supply of young fish from the
Mississippi river and Mr.. Avery
writes that if the quantity OBJ
tanned reaches the usual amount
he will send at least a car load tt
start the work here. A car loac
is many millions of young fish
and enough of them should sur
vive to soon place Traverse lake
on the map as one of the fine
fishing lakes of this section"
