A Fast Through Train

A railroad accident occurred
at Rutledge last Thursday after
noon in which John Friedman, a
Is year old Minneapolis lad, who
was visiting in that community
was killed. The lad was sitting
alone on the depot platform and
had evidently fallen asleep when
a fast through freight struck
him, fracturing his skull and re.
sulting in his death a few hours
later.

went directly to the Marc home

70, Jr., in the afternoon. They
went to the depot. John said he
would wait there in the waiting
room as he was tired. while his
companion went out about q
half mile on an errand for his
parents. The boy afterwards sat
down on the edge of the depot
platform when an extra through
train struck him in the head
fracturing his skull. He was
alone at the depot and evidently
had fallen asleep or he would
have heard and seen the train as
there is a straight track for near

every warning-ringing the bel

train to an emergency stop, but
too late. The accident occurred
about 3:45 p. m.

ASKOV YOUTH
DIED MONDAY
Holger Mosbak Succumbs
to Appendicitis -Funer-
al Held Yesterday.

This week it becomes the sad
duty of the American to chroni-
Gle the death Of one of Askov's
promising young men-Holger
Mosb@k-which occurred at the
Sandstone hospital Monday MORN

sooner or later but it seems
doubly sad when it occurs to a
young man or woman, as in this
case. when the young man was
just % years old and blossoming
into manhood-at the threshold
of life's journey.
Holger took i'll less than three
weeks ago-on August 3-with
a violent attack of appendicitis.
The following day he was re.

but was not operated upon i'm.

condition. He remained in the
hospital and was gaining daily

was operated for an abscess that
had formed from the rupture OF
the appendix. His condition ap.
peared very favorable after the
operation and he remained SO
throughout Friday, Saturday and
until 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon
when he grew worse and his par.
ents, and brothers and sisters
available, were called to the bed
side. He did not rally from this
last attack and passed peacefully
to the Great Beyond at S:45 Mon.

conscious the last few hours.
Holger Mosbek was the young

Mosbak, being born at Chicago

Askov with his parents in the
spring of 1906, when a little boy
of 5, and had grown to manhood

he was known to everybody.
He attended grade and high
school here and last spring grad

Dear Patrons
As you already know, school
opens Monday. August q.
All the teachers plan to arrive
Saturday SO as TO get everything
ready for a good start Monday
morning. It is long since the
school has been so fortunate as to
open with a corps of experienced
teachers; the prospects for a sue
cessful and profitable term are
indeed promising. We welcome
the pupils back from their long
and we'll earned vacation.
The age entrance has been
slightly changed; children who
become six years before Dec. 1
will be admitted. May we sug-
gest, that il you do not intend
to send. the entire year, your
child, who is beginning school
this fall, you keep the child at
home till next year. Very little.
il anything, is accomplished by
part-year attendance for begin
ners. We like to have visitors at
any and all times, but we prefer
not to have visitors under school
age unless accompanied by the
parent.
A few changes, which concern
only a few, have been made in
the routes. A new one is added,
beginning at Theodore Jensen's
and travelling west past L. p.
Jensen's place; this route will
carry the children north of town
between one and two miles from
school during the four winter
months. Route No. 3 has also
been changed so it turns west at
Mrs. A. Jensen's corner and goes
around that section to pick up
Christian Hansen's and Carl Sor-
ensen's children; this route will
also accommodate those between
one and two miles during the
winter. The others remain the
same and the driving schedule
will remain the same for the first
weeks at least.
With the advent of the long
telephone we hope the
transportation will be better
than in earlier years. With a
telephone in the school office and
one in most of the homes most

New York Will End in Deadlock

New York, Aug. 15.-Resumption
Of wage negotiations was undertaken
In New York today by officials of the
United Mine Workers of America and
the anthracite operators committee,
at the invitation of the United States
coal commission with the view of
averting a hard coal strike on Sep
TENDER /. ..
Before entering into the conference
presided over by John Hays Ham
mond, chairman of the federal coal
commission the mine workers leaders
apparently had set their minds to
clear-cut issue-a strike, or the check
of, by which the operators are asked
to deduct union dues from the wages
Of union miners. The union leaders
agreed to enter into resumption of
negotiations with the understanding
that in so doing they waived none OF
their demands.
The operators contend that accept
ance of the check-off would mean
binding the operators to collection of
a war fund" for the unions which
might be used in later strikes and to
aid in bringing about CLOSED shop"
conditions.
The miners delegates are led by
John l.. Lewis, president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America. Lead
ing the mine owners representatives
is Samuel D. Warmer, chairman OF
the anthracite coal operators.
