HUNTING ACCIDENT FATAL
TO STATELY. TOWN FARMER
William T. Elsberry Dies From
Loss of Blood When Charge
Enters His Arm

VIM. T. Elsberry was the victim of
fatal accident short distance from
his farm home last Thursday after
noon, according to the Springfield
Advanced Press. He had gone to Dot
son the same morning to buy groceries
and when he returned home told his
wife he would spend the rest of the
afternoon hurting. When he had
gone but short distance he met two
hunters who asked him to join them,
so he got into their buggy and rode
along.
Near the Tom Larson farm, where
the Elsberry family were making their
home, they came to rnud-hole- Mr..
Elsberry got out to tighten the load
and in pulling his gun out of the buggy,
the frearm was accidentally discharged
and the shot struck the unfortunate
man in the muscle of the left arm,
nearly severing the arm from the body.
His companions Immediately took
him to his home and called medical
aid. Later the patient was taken to
st. Johns hospital, where his arm was
amputated. But the loss of blood had
been too great, and at ten O'clock
Thursday evening, he passed away,
conscious of everything to the last.
Deceased was born near Boone, Ia,
in the year 1899. On December 10,
1919, he was united in marriage with
Miss Elsie Syling of this city. They
lived at Boone until last June, when
they moved to this city. On October
18 they moved onto the Tom Larson
farm about 6 miles southwest of here,
where they were living at the time Of
the fatal accident.
: Mr.. Elsberry is survived by his wife
and son and his parents. His body
was sent to Boone, Iowa, for burial
Monday afternoon.

!, CROWS {; /, i PEARS HERE. E:

William Pfaender, Jr., Of the Pioneer
Nurserysof this city, recently attended
the annual meeting of the State Horti-
cultural Society and took this occasion
to exhibit a pear, the tree upon which
it grew having been planted by him
as seed some II years ago. The fruit
Of this pear tree was pronounced by
the judges as being of the very best
quality which demonstrates the fact
that pears will mature in this section.
The fruit is fully as large as the Bart
lett variety and the tree is perfectly
hardy and. never blighted in leaf or
body. According to Mr.. Pfaender,
leaf blight is a drawback to pear
growing, but his. tree, so far, is immune
to this disease. There Were fine lot
of apples exhibited from all parts .ot
the state and the Minnesota Expert
ment Station displayed some Is tc
rd00 different apple seedlings.

COUNTY AGENT BANE.
HANDS IN RESIGNATION
Will Leave for . Illinois Next
& Month Ito accept A More
N Lucrative Position.

County Agent F. M. Bane handed
in his resignation to the Brown Coun-
ty Farm Bureau the latter part of
last week, to take effect as soon as
q Successor may be secured, but not
later than January Goth. says the
Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch. Mr..
Bane has been the county agent for
the past two years. and during that
time has handled the position inSs "a
very capable manner, rejecting credit
not only upon himself but upon the
organization as we'll.
When Mr.. Bane took up the work
in Brown county. the Farm Bureau
was but in its infancy and there was
a spirit Of animosity toward the or
ganization in the county in certain
quarters. AS the people have learned
the true value of this spelndid or
ganization and what it really stands
|for, this spirit of opposition has
gradually evaporated until the Farm
Bureau is more solidly planted in the
county than ever. OF course, there
are few, who, by putting in "a
|ismall membership fee, expect the
[county agent to spend 365 days a
year on their farm, but these cases
are not as numerous as some think.
The work Of the farm Bureau is
becoming more dominant figure in
the nation and carries weight with
/ it wherever it desires to use its in
lhuence. Brown county is fortunate
I'm having one Of its citizens, Senator
| L. E, Potter, as president of the
State Federation. In a sense the
Feyes Of the entire state is centered
on our county through the influence
Of Mr.. Potter and the excellent work
Mr.. Bane has done here the past two
years. His exchange list, which is
sent out every month, is considered
one Of the very best in the state and
is pointed to as an example. In
many other ways has he attracted
! favorable attention to our county.
The boys and girls of the county
have had a staunch friend in MI.
Bane and the seeds he has sown
promise to bear much credit. We
understand that Geo. Berkner, presi-
dent of the county bureau. has his
weather eye peeled for successor
to Mr.. Bane and it is to be hoped
that he will be able to carry on the
good work that is now being accom-
pished.
Mr.. Bane will go to Illinois where
he will receive very substantial in
crease in pay over what he received
here. His hosts Of friends are re-
luctant ito see him leave, but all
JOIN with the Hearld Dispatch in
wishing him and his estimable wife
well in their new location
Mr.. Bane called at the Review office,
Monday afternoon, and during our
conversation with him stated that he
would have accepted the position
preferred him n Illinois, regardless Of
whether the Brown County Farm
Bureau had voted him an increase in
salary or not, as he had been con
sidering making the change for several
months past. During his tenure as

WINTER is HERE!

Yesterday morning, for the first time
since early spring, we were awakened
from peaceful repose and pleasant
dreams by the gentle voice of our
better half, announcing that strong
arm work with the snow shovel was
necessary. The novelty ,of the thing
caused us to arise Immediately and go
on still hunt for our sidewalk-clear-
ing implement, which had become
rather obsolete. After oiling it up
carefully, so as to avoid its getting too
hot from over-use right at the begin
ming Of the season, we completed the
job of shoveling "the beautiful in
record time. Any displeasure we may
have experienced during our early
morning outdoor exercise was quickly
dispersed on our way down town to
work, when we met groups of children
going to school. They seemed un-
usually happy over the belated ar
ri Jal of winter and were discussing
S seighrides, snoW-balling, snow men
and other exhilarating winter sports.
Anyway, it looks more 'Christmacy''
with snow on the ground and Santa
need not worry about getting around
to see all of the good little girls and
boys with his reindeer team and sleigh.
He can pile the latter high with all
kinds of gifts and still make good
progress. II
