eron MONDAYS DAILY
Another beautiful unselfsh life
came to close when Mrs. Rachel
Councilman passed to her reward
from the home of her daughter, Mrs :.
Charles Kelley on February 10 at
Vernon Center. Had she lived until
June she would have been eighty
years old. Her death was not un-
expected, as she had been i'll for five
months, having been taken with q
stroke of paralysis. She also had
serious stomach complications, and
her sufferings had been acute most Of
the time. Her maiden name was
Rachel Conrad She was born June
80, 1885, near Binghamton, New York,
and there she grew up. October Z,
1855, she was married to William
Henry Councilman and later they
moved to Illinois. From there ,they
came to Southeastern Minnesota, liv-
ing at both High Forest and Plain
view. October 20, 1875, Mr.. Council
man suddenly died, leaving his wife
and five children, three sons and two
daughters. When the oldest son was
of age he and his mother went to
Pipestonel county, where they took
claims. Afterward they came to Blue
Earth county and lived for ten or
twelve years on the Grannis farm east

children, her final sickness overtaking
her at the home of her youngest

employees OF EXPRESS
COMPANY NEAR DEATH
Delivery Wagon Was Struck By
Locomotive On Milwaukee
Train
ON MONDAYS Dallv.

From Mondays Daily
Two employees of the American Ex-
press company had narrow escape
from death or serious injury, when
the express wagon, on which they
were seated, was struck by a passen-
ger train from Wells at the Milwau-
kee crossing on Jackson street this
morning at 1925.
AS it was the horse was somewhat
scratched, the harness was badly
broken, the top of the wagon was
smashed and the shafts were broken.
Roy FLAG, who drove the horse,
saved himself by jumping. Henry J.
Steiner, his companion, fell from the
wagon, and was thrown against the
drive wheels of the locomotive, be-
tween the locomotive and the wagon.
The wagon was forced forward on
top of the horse. The fact that the
locomotive was brought to sudden
halt by the engineer prevented SER
ious consequences.
Mr.. FLAG relates how he was driv-
ing across the track, when he saw
the engine coming. He was on his
way to the Omaha passenger depot.
He saw the locomotive approaching
and, not having time to get off the
track, he turned the horse away from
the engine. The engine struck the
shafts just back Of the horse.
Engineer Wells had charge of the
locomotive The quickness with which
he stopped the train and prevented
serious conquences is the subject of
much adniring comment
