OkTONVILLE man HURT
IN PECULIAR ACCIDEN 7

Ortonville urnal:--Cyrus Long
n2cker lies at his home in this city,
suffering intensely, as the result OF
an accident incurred last Monday
while he was working in gravel pit
about two miles west of this city. In
ujries sustained include the pelvic
bone broken in two places, and the re-
r,ainedr of his body considerably
bruised.
The accident happened in q peculiar
manner. Mr.. I.ongnecker is employed
by the local contractor, Geo. L. Now
cry, and was assisting in the work of
grayeling the Yellowstone Trail be-
tween Big Stone City and Milbank.
His work vas in the gravel pit, where
he assisted several other men to load
the trucks as they came in for their
supply of oravel-he was working in
what IS known is pit No. !, located
near the Big Stone City brick yard.
The men had taken considerable
gravel fro1>, the pit and portion of
the ground (black dirt) just above
the place where they were loading,
was frozen and naturally did not give
way until considerable gravel he'd been
removed from underneath. 1t so hap
pened that large portion of frozen
ground oveihanging broke loose inst
as Mr.. Longnecker passed near it, and
in rolling struck him from behind,
throwing him to the ground and mir
ming him there face downward. He
was unable to move and although sew
! oral men wi.o were working near lir'
came to his q .si-tance>it was minutes
before the weight could be removed
from his bodv.
Immediately upon being released
he was removed to the cook shanty q
short distance away, where he wa.
made a comfortable as possihl" until

FIRE DESTROYS GARAGE
AN OLD LANDMARK

Fire which j. thot to have original
ed from defective wiring, totally des-
troyed the Brannon Auto Garage last
Tuesday night. The fire was discover
ed by VIM. Crowley, who sleeps in the
garage at night, about 1:10 o'clock,
when he was awakened by smoke He
turned in the alarm Immediately.
The start Of the fire seemed to be
in the southwest corner of the garage,
directly above Lloyd MELONS car. The
fire had dropped to the top of the car
and when the first men arrived, the
car was al; afire and looked as tho the
car had started the fire.
AS the building was sheated inside
and out with sheet iron, which made
it exceedingly difficult for the firemen
to make headNay in fighting the fire.
While it looked as tho there was only
2 small blaze in the south end oil the
building, it was only a few minutes
after that the entire roof was ablaze
and had collapsed.
1t was fortunate that the men were
able to remove all but one car from
the garage, that belonged to George
Schad which was totally destroyed.
The Brannon company had six cars in
the garage, four being new cars. There
| We're about dozen cars stored there
for the winter. all of which were saw
ed ard taken to the Geissinger and
Berkner garage Immediately.
+, The small addition on the west side
Of the building was saved. This room
was used as stock room for small
| parts and :'or the battery service sta
4, ton.
The office equipment was saved and
a show case containing about $5OO.O0
worth Of small accessories was car
riad out. Quite a number OF tires and
castings were saved, but large num-
ber also lost. The loss Of repair
] equipment tools, parts, accessories,
tires and tubes will probably amount
to nearly 5000. The loss of the build
ing is unestimated. Altho the old build
ing was built for perhaps few thou
sand dollars, a new building which
would serve the purposes which the
! old one did would cost at least $1,000
The building and stock is complete
loss, as NJ insurance was carried.
Lloyd Mellon carried $3.50 on his car
but George Schad carried none.
Mr.. Brannon built part Of this
building in about 1884, when he moved
from a location about where the Jur-
gems building now stands. For a good
many years he conducted livery
stable in the building. When the auto
displaced the horse, he built on more
and changed to garage. During the
past few years he. added good heat
ing plant, and covered the building
with sheet iron.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brannon are at pres
ent in the west, visiting at the home
Of their daughter, Mrs. Dwight Ballet
Mr.. Brannon, with his son, Roy. are
the proprietors Of the garage. Roy
stated that he could not say whether
or not the garage would be rebuilt.
