Biting Stable Fly Causes Stock Loss

Biting Stable Fly Causes STOCK Loss
Have you ever been shown that the
house fly bites? Maybe not; but there
is in Minnesota g. fly of the same size
and general appearance as the house
fly that does bite. 1t is the biting stable
fly. You may distinguish it from the
house fly, which sucks blood, by a
needle-like proboscis from the front Of
the head and by the gray and black
polka dots instead OF the metallic
brown color on it's abdomen.
The biting stable flies may become
numerous enough to be severe pest
to horses and cattle. They hang
about the stable and are rarely found
in the house. The annoyance that
they cause may bring a. considerable
reduction in the milk flow and In the
animals flesh-
The biting stable flies breed In ma
nure and filth, as do the house flies,
and they may breed also In such places
as rotting straw stacks. They live
over a period of month, instead OF
two weeks az is the case with the
house fly.
Drawing out the stable manure
daily in summer and spreading 1t out
thinly on the field or placing it In bins
or closets where the flies cannot have
access to it will control the biting
stable fly, as we'll as the house fly.
Such measures, therefore, will remove
two pests from the farm, ono which 1s
dangerous to the family and another
which causes large though not easily
recognized loss to the ivestOck-C.

MINNEAPOLIS MAN
RUN OVER AND KILLED
Gravel Train Ran Over Man 40 he
Lay Sleeping on Railroad Track.


Lay Sleeping on Railroad Track.
Last Sunday morning a fatal acci-
dent occurred on the railroad track
about one mile south Of Grue station.
The victim was Mr.. Engen of Mime
apolis, who had reached Willmar the
evening previous and was walking out
to Spicer to visit with his wife at the
home of her brother, Anton West, who
lives near Woodcock Lake. Mrs. En-
gen has been visiting her brother for
about two weeks.
The exact nature of the accident is
unknown. He was subject to heart
failure and it is thought he probably
had suffered such an attack while
walking and then was run over by a
gravel train as his body was terribly
mangled, which made Identification al.
most impossible.
His bereaved wife has the sympathy
Of the community in her SORROW
Green Lake Breeze.
The name Of the killed man was Au-
gust C. Engen. He lived at Minneap-
oils and was brother of Alderman
Engen of that city.
He had evidently laid down to sleep
on the track when the train came
along. The engineer first thought it
was a piece of tar paper lying on the
track and saw his m1stske too late to
stop the train.
The latives have been making an
investigation Of the case, with the idea
that he had met with foul play and
had BEEN thrown on track. A sum of
money was sewed into his clothes.

Another Fire at Crow River.

The feed mill and another building
used as a warehouse and soft drink
parlor, at Crow River, Union Grove
town, owned and occupied by P. O.
Hawkinson, who formerly also ran a
wholesale liquor establishment, was
burned shortly after midnight be-
tween Friday and Saturday last. The
origin of the fire is a mystery. The
owner carried $4,000 insurance on the
property, in companies represented by
A. P. Nelson of Grove City and Dart
& Helgeson of this city. The latter
had a $1,000 policy on the property.
The buildings burned had been on fire
twice before within few weeks.
When the creamery burned the feed
mill took fire from the other blaze,
but was saved. A week later it again
got on fire, said to have been caused
by lightning, but was discovered and
put out before any great damage had
been done. We are told that Hawkin-
SON valued the burned property at
$4,000. He contemplates rebuilding
the feed mill, we understand.-Ldtch-

The farmers of North Dakota have
dictated the nominations on the Re-
publican ticket by their Non-Partisan
League. They had become tired OF
electing men who used their influence
against them in their battle for econ

and handling Of grain. Each member
of the League contributed from six to
nine dollars to a campaign fund. Why

o slTUAR nv
MRS. G.. e. GERRETSON.

MTS. Agnes GefTetsOn, beloved wife
OF DR.. c. e. Gerretson, passed from
this life last Thursday night at about
ten o'clock, after q lingering illness.
While death had been expected for
some time the news spread gloom in q
large circle of friends, among whom
she ranked always as q woman of cul.
ture, refinement, sympathy, a. kind
neighbor, devoted mother and g. true
friend, and withal a woman of heroic
mould in bravely meeting the stern
requirements Of life.
Mrs. Agnes Hart Gerretson was
born in Iowa June %, 1873. She came
to Wtllmar in 1900 and became a
teacher in the public schools. She
married DR.. Gerretson, who survives
her with five children-Rosamond
Donald, Douglas, William and Mary.
None but those who have sat in the
shadow Of great bereavement can
justly weigh such a sorrow as this,
that has befallen this family. Those
who have gone down into the valley
of suffering and stood for months by
the side of a loved one, as hope after
hope dropped away as the petals fall
from a fading flower, know that such
anguish cannot find solace in the ten
derest words.
The obsequies took place last Sat-
urday. At the services at the resi-
dence q quartet composed of Misses
Lille N0ren, Barbara Williams, Ethel
Smith and Esther Larsen sang, '"Abide
With Me-" and Mrs. Bibb sang
ASLEEP in Jesus" Rev. Horatio Gates
spoke and Rev. Todd offered prayer.
Rev. E RI. Todd conducted the serv-
ices at st. Luke's church. The quar-
tet Sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul, -
and Nearer My God, to Thee," and
Mrs. Bibb sang, "The Lord is NY shep-
herd" The interment took place at
Fairview.
DR.. and Mrs. c. E. Guthrie were call.
ed East by the serious illness of the
departed about six weeks ago. Dr..
Guthrie was obliged to return to Se-
attic few days before the death oc-
Cured, but Mrs. Guthrie, sister was
with the deceased continuously until
the last. A brother, J. A. Hart, Of
Minneapolis, could not be present on
account of illness. Mrs. G. TeLinde,
sister of DR.. Gerretson was present at
the funeral. She has taken care of
the children at the lake home during
the last four weeks. Mrs. DR.. G. J.
Gerretson Of Kasson, Mimi, is also
here and is at present with the child
ren at Crescent Beach. Miss M.
Byrnes Of Minneapolis has been at
tending nurse for fourteen weeks.
One who knew her we'll payed the
following tribute to the memory of
the departed: I'm her busy life she
always found time to assist in caring
for some sick friend, or assisting with
her sunny disposition to relieve and
make happy some suffering mortal.
She was great reader and student,
but was ha2pdest when in her own
home surrounded by her family. She
was Of an exceptionally happy disposi-
ton, even thru her illness, and died
happy in the faith for better life to
come"

President Wilson has lost nothing
in the storm Of partisan abuse hurled
at him by politicians, adventurers and
swash bucklers. He may have made
mistakes, but in the main he has re-
assured the people Of the country that
his ideas of what constitute national
honor are sound.
