O "a RY

MRS. ALFRED w. CLEVELAND.
DR.. j. NJ. Rains received the sad
news Thursday Of the death Of
youngest daughter, Ethel, wife Of Mr..
Alfred w. Cleveland. Of Duluth, which
occurred at Long Beach, California,
Wednesday, Jan. 26, caused by some
shock twenty hours after an opera
ton. Mrs. Cleveland was spending
the winter at Long Beach with her
sister, Mrs. H. l.. BeckjOrd of Manila,
P. l. She left Willmar with her chill
dren after visit with her father,
Nov. II, apparently in best of health
Mr.. Cleveland was in Grand Rapids,
Mich. on his annual buying trip for
his firm. when the sad news of his
sudden bereavement reached him. He
left Chicago for California over the
Santa Fe Thursday, and burial serv-
ices are being held today at Los An
geles. The remains will be taken to
Duluth for interment next spring. Mr.
Cleveland will bring the children to
Willmar, where tLey will remain with
their grandfather for the present.
Mrs. Ethel Cleveland was born at
Willmar. Jan. 4, 1881, and hence at
tanned the age of thirty-five years.
She graduated from the Willmar high
school in 1899. She was a member
of St. Luke's Episcopal church, and
was confirmed by Rev. D. c. Booth,
former rector. The deceased was
married in 1903 to Mr. Alfred w.
Cleveland, of the New England Fur
niture & Carpet Company Of Mime
apolis. In the fall Of 1911 they NOV
ed to Duluth, where Mr.. Cleveland
became vice president and general
manager of the firm of the French
Bassett Company. The departed
leaves to mourn her untimely death,
her husband; two children-Warner
R., age IL; and Georgianna, age $;
her father and sister. A large circle
of friends at Willmar deeply regret
to learn of her demise, and most sim
cerely sympathize with the bereaved
ones, especially with the father re-
siding here, who feels the crushing
blow of the death Of his devoted
daughter most keenly.

BAD WRECK At
WEST END SUNDAY
No. Ten Runs Into Engine at
~" and IS Derai|ed with
Two Cars.

A collision which might very easily
have been a serious affair, occurred
last Sunday morning at 9 O'Clock.
when east bound passenger train No.
10, crashed into engine 741 in the
west end of the yards.
The accident happened at the west
ern extremity of the "Y", to which
place TAI had gone for the purpose
of pushing AL engine with the SNOW
dozer, which was stalled there. The
dozer had been ordered out onto the
Sioux City Division, and had gone on
to the Y to turn around. They were
unable to get thru the snow, tho, and
the other engine was sent out to
shove them thru. TAI backed from the
main line onto the Y, and was near
ly in the clear, when she also got
stalled. At this time No. 10 came in
to sight around the curve beyond the
brick yard, running at a good rate of
speed. The crew on the TAI were IN
able to move the engine any, and the
pilot and one of the cylinders pro-
jected out onto the main line. The
engineer on No. 10 threw on the air
but was unable to stop his train. He
and the fireman jumped, thus saving
themselves. The force of the coils
ion tore the pilot off the TAI and de-
rallied that engine, as we'll as the
locomotive, the mail and baggage cars
of No. 10. The train came to a stop
when the end of the express car
struck the engine standing on the Y.
The express messenger was thrown
from one side of the car to the other,
and the mail clerks were more or
less shaken up and bruised, but no
one was seriously injured. Passen-
gers in the sleeper at the rear Of the
train scarcely felt the shock.
The engine and cars left the track
on the left hand side, and very for
tunately did not turn over or roll
down the embankment. A special
train was made up here, backed up
to the wreck and passengers, baggage
and express were transferred to this
train and sent on east.
The fast mail train was forced to
go around the other way on Sunday,
and freight service west of here was
tied up for awhile.
BY late Sunday afternoon the main
line was cleared away, but it was
not until Tuesday that 741 was picked
up and the Y cleared for service
again

NARROW ESCAPE OF
OLD FOLKS HOME
Fire is Discovered Over Boiler Room
at Eiqht O'clock This Mornino.

Fire is Discovered Over Boiler Room
at Eight O'clock This Morning.
Much excitement prevailed in the
city this morning when the telephone
reported that the Old Folks building
at the Bethesda Homes at Eagle Lake
was on fire. The terrible condition
of the roads owing to the heavy snow
fall made it impossible to run out
there from the city in time to be of
any assistance. The telephone wire
was kept busy with requests for in
formation. The fire was discovered
about eight o'clock, smoke coming
up through the floor above the boiler
room and up along the walls. Help
was summoned and neighboring farm
ers were on the scene in a few NOM
ents.
For time it looked as though the
building was doomed and the inmates,
some twenty-five in number were TAX
en- to the orphanage building, and the
furniture was taken out. The seat
Of the fire was finally reached and it
was quenched before any serious dam
age was done to the building. Most
damage was done by the water. The
home has a splendid waterworks, a
400-barrel tank on a tower, and each
floor in the building is equipped with
a hose and nozzle. This equipment
is what saved the building. The fire
caught between the steel ceiling Of
the boiler room and the floor above
the boiler.
The building cost $4,000. A new
addition costing $4,000 had just been
completed, and had the building burn
ed down, the loss would have been a
serious one, not to speak Of the en-
barrassment in finding quarters for
the old folks. There was only $4,000
insurance on the threatened building.
Hence it was not surprising that
there was much rejoicing among the
many friends of this charitable insti-
tuition when it finally became known
that the building was saved
