The Emergency HOSPITAL.

The establishing of an emergen-
cy hospital in the commercial club
rooms has proved Of great service
in caring for the influenza victims,
nearly a dozen of whom have al
ready received attention and care
at this temporary hospital. Mayor
Saunders and the city authorities
have left nothing undone in pro-
viding conveniences for the COM
fort of those who are being looked
after in this emergency hospital.
Rev. and Mrs. Calfee are in attend
ance, and Miss Martens, the nurse,
is making it her headquarters, and
is in charge of the patients, with
Miss Schorman, also nurse, assist
ing, and Miss Anna Lockhart and
Miss Eta Ericksona az ttendants,
the sick ones are thus being
given the attention and care they
could not get if scattered around
in the different localities where
medical and nursing care would
have to be taken to each of them
separately.

Fatal Accident
Henry Christensen Killed on Rail.
road II Is Believed While Attempt
ina to Board Moving Train.

A very sad accident happened at
Marvin last Sunday afternoon. re-
sulting in the death of one of Mar
wins prominent business men.
Mr.. Henry Christensen. postmaster
and manager of the Charles Will
liams general store, bade good bye
to his family Immediately after the
noon meal, and said that he was 60
ing to run up to Summit on the
afternoon train. Ole Olson the Sec
tion boss, found his mangled body
on the west bound track, and about
200 feet west from the depot, less
than two hours later, the
appearances being that the body
had been dragged short distance.
The finding Of the body was reported
to Coroner Jacotel at Milbank. and
he with States Attorney Robt.
Jones and Sheriff Finley. immedi-
ately went up to Marvin and inves-
tigated the case. From an exam
ination Of the body and the appear
ance of the track where the acci-
dent happened it was concluded that
Mr.. Christensen had attempted to
board the west-bound passing
freight, by climbing the ladder on
the side of the car, and succeeded in
securing hold on the ladder, but
when the car had passed the depot
platform, a snowban!: on the side
of the track had struck his feet and
Knocked him from the Cal, ,and he
fell under the wheels. Mr.. Chris
tensen was former railroad man
and was accustomed to climbing on
moving cars, and he would have
succeeded in +his instance, un-
doubtedly, ha. ..ot the snow-bank
thrown him from his place.
The top of the unfortunate mans
head wat crushed, one arm torn off
Ind the other arm badly mangled,
besidesf other cuts ard bruises or
the body.
The facts in the case were so ap-
parently Aevident that the coroner
did not deem it necessary to hold
an inquest
The deceased man was 80 years
and 7 months old and was born in
the state of Wisconsin. He was
married to Miss Catherine Will
Jams about eight years ago, and his
wife ard two children survive him
- son about seven years OF age
and a little daughter Of about four
years Of age. Mr.. Christensen was
agent and telegraph operator in
Marvin about 10 years ago and in
1911 shortly after his marriage the
family moved to Canada where he
was employed as operator. Four
years ago when Mr.. C. B. Williams
and family moved to Excelsior,
Minn., Mr. Christensen was given
charge of the store and post Office
at Marvin.
The funeral service was held at
Marvin yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock.

Red Cross Notes

The allotment for the Grant
County Chapter for completion be-
fore February first:
Womens' chemise 200; Petit
coats so.
The cut garments are here and a
portion Of same will be sent to the
branches and auxiliaries. Owing
to the prevailing epidemic this
seems like a rather large allotment
as it is not wise for many to get
together. 1t has been suggested
that the garments be taken to the
different homes where there is no
sickness where they can be made up
as we'll as at the work rooms.
There is an urgent need for these
refugee garments so it is hoped
that the workers will respond with
their usual promptness.
There has been no call from head
quarters for surgical dressings for
this month. but the class has been
taking care of local needs in turn
ing out pneumonia jackets and
paper back pads. In these times
our people may feel very fortunate
to have members Of our Red Cross
who are capable and willing to
make these much needed articles.
The following knitted articles
and sewed garments were turned in
by the branches and auxiliaries for
which credit has not been given in
these notes:

The Grant County Chapter is
grateful to the persons who have sc
generously donated sheets, towels,
comforts and other articles for the
emergency hospital at the CONNER
cial Club Rooms in this city.
Those who have not had the op.
portunty Of giving and wish to do SC
can leave any Of these articles al
the work rooms. It's probable that
| this hospital will be in use fol
some time and the supply will not
be sufficient to meet the require
! ments. Every thing donated viii
be taken care and kept for future
use. The Red Cross is a perman-
ent institution and will minister to
the sick during the present emerg.
ency and in any emergeny that may
arise in the future.

other communities all over the

In the last year our Junior Red
Cross has had the opportunity not
only to serve our soldiers and sail
ors and the children across the
waters, but also have been able in
small way to help the people of
our own community.
The Junior Red Cross has met
all emergencies in a splendid fash
ion. We have made garments;
we have collected large sums Of
money by really working and earn
ing it; our boys have made articles
in their manual training shops for
convalescent homes and the army.
Our last and in some ways, our
best bit of service has been in the
supplying Of $500 Christmas boxes
and CANDY to the children in north

spirit. The letters enclosed will

Junior Red Cross Notes.

Due to the influenza and the
necessity of closing the schools it
has been and is impossible to carry
on the work of the Chapter School
Committee as planned, but notwith-
standing this handicap the school
auxiliaries have shown even a
greater interest in the work than
at any other time. During the
past few weeks the schools have
made and sent in forty-five pounds
of rags to be used in the making
of rag rugs for French hospitals
and convalescent homes. The rags
were sent to the Watertown Rag
Rug Company and one 9x9 #. rug
has already been received for ship
ment. And the chapter has enough
rags for the making Of another rug
of the same size and one small one
which will also be shipped for the
same use in France. Along with
this work the schools have been
knitting six inch squares to be
used in the making Of afghans.
These are being made up by the
ladies Of the Adult Chapter and
will be ready for shipment in q
short time. The Juniors have
shown . keen interest in this work
and have sent in very we'll knitted
squares. Schools having knitted
squares on hand are asked to for
ward them to the Chairman.
