Fairmont, Mimi, August 27.-H. H.
Allison, sixty five years old, who re-
tired three months ago as secretary
and manager of the Fairmont Can
ming company, hanged himself in a
barn at the factory early yesterday

could ascrfbe no reason for his act.
Allison came here three years ago
from Norfolk Neb., and established

canning factories at Norfolk and
Sioux City, Iowa.
A widow and two stepdaughters
survive him. They live in Fairmont.
Allison spent Thursday evening at
the home of one of his daughters,
Mrs. Ivar Haraldson, who said today
that he seemed in the best spirits.
Allison was an inventor. An in

placing on the market a device to
prevent daylight bank robberies. This
device which had been demonstrated,
automatically prevented vault doors
from being closed when push but

WANTS BRIDGE BUILT
John D. Little Asks for Road Better.
ment in Decoria


From Fridays Daily
in statement to the Free Press, says
that the construction of bridge
across the Big Cobb river at point in
Section 80, Decoria township, near
the residences of Leo Boehlke and
Augusta Prang, would be the means of
giving one fourth of the population OF
Decoria township permanent and di-
rect outlet to Mankato to connect with
the poor farm road.
AS during the greater part of the
year, the river can be forded st the
point Mr.. Little suggests that a bridge
be built, but in the early spring and
Immediately after heavy rains detour
of at least eight miles must be made
to make connections with the trunk
line between Mankato and Mapleton
Mr.. Little says that he has been pet
itioning the county board for several
years to construct bridge at the
point mentioned, so that this large de-
tour would not have to be made at Ger
tain times of the year but nothing
; has been done.
N. c. Christensen. Mr.. Little stated,
has the contract for the graveling OF
the trunk line road between Mankato
and Mapleton. Luck is with the con-
tractor this year, in that water in the
Big Cobb is very low and the river can
be forded, but should heavy rains come
, on this fall, the detour of eight miles
would have to be made in order to
reach the Mapleton road with mater
ial. AT the present time the truck SER
vice from Mankato to Mapleton via
the poor farm road and the -dapleton
road can be made in record time.
But the "trip from the Camp Chris
tenson to Mankato is 'try" daily
proposition to use the words of Mr..
Little, but should be "tri" daily
service. He would like to see tine
bridge he suggests built.

was sitting upright in the car, wiping
his head. DR.. L. A. Fritsche who
lives in the neighborhood heard the
