FRIGHTENED HORSES
PLUNGE OFF TRESSLE
T. j. Wedel Killed i'm Fall From Beet
Dump Near Aberdeen

AS the north bound train was about
to pull out from stop at the beet
dump north of Aberdeen, Tuesday,
about noon, team of horses at the
top of the tressle where T. ]. Wedel
was unloading beets became suddenly
frightened and started at a gallop
down the runway. The wagon swung
to one side and stripped off the rail-
ing almost all of the way to the bot
tom. About half way down the wagon
box jumped from the carriage and
plunged over the side to the ground
taking Mr.. Wedel with it. Then the
rest of the wagon and horses fell off.
Mr.. Wedel suffered severe injuries
from his fall and only lived till 7
IN the evening, althO everything was
done for him that could be done.
His left leg was broken below the
knee and the right hip badly frac-
tured, which bled profusely. The
height of the fall and the wreckage
in which he was entangled caused
such shock and internal injuries that
he was unable to survive the night.
Mr.. Wedel is the eldest son of
IT. J. Wedel, one of the old settlers of
the Aberdeen section, and proprietor
of the Valley Supply store. He leaves
a widow, no children, and number
of relatives living in the Aberdeen
vicinity. Arrangements for burial
have not yet been made.

j. e. KELLEY'S ANNOUNCEMENT I

am the Democratic nominee for
county commissioner for the first
district, and desire to inform the pub
lie that if elected / shall give my
best efforts to this part of the public
service.
l am a farmer and have been a
resident of this county Is years. Six
years ago | was elected chairman of
the board of directors for the Snake
River Valley Irrigation district, and
at the end of my term was re-elect-
ed without opposition and am still
serving.
l think the greatest problem be-
fore the county commissioners is the
roads and bridges, and l am in favor
of pushing road work vigorously
when the material is moist enough
to pack, and stopping work when it
has passed that stage. l think road
and bridge work should be done so
it will be more lasting, even tho the
initial cost is more. / favor making
culverts longer, so that the width
of the road bed will not be broken
by them, and l am emphatically op-
posed to handling such work in a
way to center the employment among
a few individuals when there are
other taxpayers able and desiring to
share the work and give good service.

ROSSI, ACQUITTED OF
MURDER, CRIES WHEN
JURY BRINGS VERDICT

WALLACE, Idaho.-Herman J.
Rossi, former mayor of Wallace was
declared not guilty of murder by a
jury Saturday, after it had deliberat-
ed one hour and 10 minutes. Rossi
shot and instantly killed Clarence
Dahlquist in hotel here june 80.
Rossi broke down when the verdict
was read and cried like baby. He
soon recovered enough to thank each
juror for his decision and within a
few minutes the court room was
empty and the jurors had gone to
their homes.
The case was put into the hands of
the jury at 1920 and the verdict was
read at 1.30.
According to the testimony, Rossi
shot and killed Dahlquist after he
had been told that Dalhquist had >iAe
vaded his home while Rossi was alb
sent.
The state in the closing argument
asked the jury for fair verdict.
The defense contended that Rossi was
temporarily insane when he killed
Dahlquist.
