to come to America and took passage
on sailing vessel, the voyage requir-
ing Sc days. Upon arriving in New
York he found employment in a brick
yard near Kingston. His health be-
came impaired and he decided to come
west, locating in Chicago. In 1856
he came to Sank Rapids and secured
employment in a saw mill. Later he
was employed in the grocery store of
Proctor & Clark with whom he re-
manned until 1862. That year he was
elected register of deeds of Stearns

charge his duties that he was con-
tinuously reelected until he had COM
pleted an uninterrupted service of a
period of II years. During a portion
of that time he also served as city
clerk of St. Cloud. On January 1,
1889, he began business as a private
banker under the name of Zapp's
Loan Bank in small one-story brick
building. There he successfully car
ried on the banking business for rs
years until year ago when the bank
occupied handsome new quarters

and two brothers, survive. The, sons
are Edward Zapp, of st. Cloud, asso-
ciated with the Zapp State Bank; and
John A. Zapp, of Chicago. The only
daughter is Mrs. E. C. Scott, of St.
Cloud. The brothers are Michael
Zapp of Sank Centre and Joseph B.

SAUK CENTRE LADIES NEAR
DEATH IN AUTO ACCIDENT

in night attire, lying on the floor of
his room. Rushing to the side of her
brother, Miss Oresta shook him and
received faint recognition, when she
told him she was going for doctor.
He told her that he was all right
and insisted that she should not go to
the trouble. However, she threw a
cover over the stricken man, placed a
pillow under his head and then rushed
out to summon neighbors. DIR. Moyni-
han was called and Immediately pro-
nounced it a case of hemorage of the
brain. From the time that Wealand
spoke to his sister before she departed
to summon aid he did not regain con-
sciousness. Funeral services were
held this Thursday afternoon at Q
o'clock at the family home, Rev. Duel
officiating. Interment was in the
Odd Fellows Cemetery.
The deceased was born in Ohio, Jan.
s21, 1885. He came to Sank Centre
about 80 years ago and invested in
lands, for a number of years engaging
in active farming. OF recent years
he has retired from all active persuits
and has gradually disposed of his land
holdings. He was not affiliated with
any fraternities or church. Besides
his sister, Miss Oresta, who had made
her home with her brother for many
years, the deceased is survived by
three other sisters, all of whom live
in Ohio.

LONG PRAIRIE DEFEATED.

In what was looked upon as more
or less of a practise game for both
teams, the Sank Centre High School
boys last Saturday defeated Long
Prairie to the tune of $50, on the
Long Prairie grounds.
1t was Long Prairie's first game in
three years, and considering the fact
that they were greatly out-weighed,
they did surprisingly well against
their older and heavier opponents.
Especially in the first half did they
show up the Sank Centre line, and
several times during the game threat
ened to score. Once the ball was lost
by tumble within Sank Centres ten
yard line, and in another period the
visitors lost the ball on downs, one
foot from the Long Prairie goal.
Sank Centres SO points came from
five touchdowns, from which only
three goals were kicked, the rain
which fell during most of the contest,
making kicking and handling of for
ward passes difficult.
Reese, at fullback, starred for Long
Prairie.

DIED, AT THE ANOKA HOSPITAL
Newton F. Spear Called Tuesday, At
ter an Illness of Over a Years
Duration.

Newton F. Spear, a resident of
Sank Centre for number of years
and well known throughout the north
west as travelling salesman, died
Monday in the Anoka Sanitarium af-
ter an illness of several years, but
which became acute only few
months ago. He went to Anoka for
treatment short time since. The
funeral was held at Anoka Wednes-

plement and MACHINERY comp anies..
After seven years residence he moved
his family to Bowman, N. D., where
they remained five years, also in the
farm implement business. Last March
they returned to Sank Centre. It was
shortly later that Mr.. Spear began to
fail rapidly in health. He took treat
ment for his ailment but physicians
were unable to stem the inroads of
the disease, which resulted fatally in
the Anoka Institution, where he had
gone as last resort.
Mr.. Spear was born Feb. Ia, 1850.
in Webster, New York, where he re-
sided until his marriage to Miss Mary
Winslow. The young couple immed-

speciality was farm machinery and he
was associated with the largest ma
chinery houses of the country at diff
ferent times. He was a member of
the United Commercial Travellers, the
Western Travellers and also the Ma
sonic fraternity. Besides his widow
and daughter who reside here, the
deceased is survived by two sons, Ora

DEATH OF A PIONEER BANKER
John Zapp, of st. Cloud, Passes on
Sunday Morning-Was IS Years
.'s- of Age

John Zapp, pioneer banker of st.
Cloud and brother of Michael Zapp,
of Sank Centre, died at his st. Cloud
home last Sunday morning at II
O'clock. His illness was comparatively
brief, his decline being gradual during
the past month prior to which time
he had been a daily visitor to his
banking offices despite his advanced
age of 85 years. Funeral services

HANSEN CAR STRUCK BY AUTO
DRIVEN BY MELRoSE DEN
list THURSDAY
THE CARS ARERUINED
ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE
BRIDGE JUST EAST OF
- Il THE CITY.

Thursday evening of last week
lesdames R. E. Hansen, NJ, D.. Ay-
Rarn, VIM. Whipple and Miss Nell
Hansen had a very narrow escape
from death while driving the Hansen
Oldsmobile. They were just pulling
onto the bridge across Sank river
east of town when they discovered a
car coming at high rate of speed
from the east. Mrs. R. E. Hansen
was driving and she pulled her car
to the right as close to the bridge rail
as was possible, and shut off the pow
ef. The oncoming car was Ford
roadster driven by DIR. Fitzgerald, a
dentist from Melrose, accompanied by
the Melrose veterinary. The Ford
struck the Oldsmobile with such force
that it threw Miss Hansen out and
partially over the bridge rail; Mrs.
Whipple's little daughter, who was in
the back seat was hurled into the
front seat into Mrs. Aygarn's lap. All
of the ladies were badly shaken up
and more or less injured. That they
were not killed outright is miracle.
The impact of the Ford was so
strong that it badly demolished and
twisted the Oldsmobile which was a
new 1915 model. The roadster was al
so reduced to junk, but the young men
escaped injury.
The Herald understands that DIR.
Fitzgerald claims that he stepped on
the saccellerator instead of the brake.
An examination was made before the
Fsrd was removed from the bridge
and no accellerator was located.
Another auto came along in few
minutes and removed the Frod from
the bridge and brought the ladies to
tswn.
The Ottos were instructed to take
the damaged cars to the garage and
repair them. The Ford was loaded on
a road drag. AS they were crossing
the G. N. tracks near the fair grounds
it was discovered that through
freight was bearing down from the
east. About this time the drag was
stuck on the track. A couple of fell
lows hurried up the track several
hundred feet and attempted to flag
the freight, but the only recognition
they received was a slight toot as the
train rolled on. The engineer gave
a slight toot just before he reached
the crossing. When the train struck
the road drag the Ford landed on the
engine pilot and was carried several
hundred feet to the west before the
train was stopped. ''
The remains were picked up and
finally landed at the garage. The re-
sponsibility of the first accident must
rest entirely upon DIR. Fitzgerald, and
he is mighty lucky that he does not
face a charge of manslaughter, in
stead of having to supply Mr.. Hansen
with a new car. There will be more
or less litigation, probably before
full settlements are made.

LEG AMPUTATED.

Fred Deters, who for many months
past has been bed ridden with diabe-
ties, which in the last six months has
developed into decay of the bones of
the legs, yesterday morning submitted
to the amputation of the left leg just
below the knee. The operation was
performed by DIR. A. F. Moynihan, as
sisted by his brother, DIR. T. J. Moyni-
ham,, who came up from St. Paul for
that purpose. The operation was en-
tirely successful but it is too early
for the physicians to state if it will
be effective in permanently improving
Mr.. Deter's condition. The operation
was made necessary because the en-
tire system was absorbing poison
from the member removed.
