New Uln Man
IS EleCtrOCuted
ACCIDENT AT EAGLE ROLLER
MILL RESULTS IN INSTANT
DEATH.

A very distressing accident occurred
at the cereal mill of the Eagle Roller
Mill Co. at New Ulm Thursday fore
noon at about 10:45 o'clock, when John
Theel, an employe, aged SO years, was
instantly killed as the result of 440
volts of electricity passing through
his body. VIM. Carries, fellow-work-
man, found the dead body of the un-
fortunate man a few moments after
ward. Everything possible was done
to resuscitate the stricken man, but
life was extinct.
There was no eyewitness to the
tragedy, but from appearances it
seems that Mr.. Theel, who was bail
ing water from the motor room in
the basement of the cereal mill at the
time, slipped on the wet cement floor
and fell against the starter box of
the large main electric motor. His
right hand got caught behind the lever
and came in contact with live wire.
His fingers, hand and arm were burn
ed, and the place where the heavy
charge left his body, on the left
chest, just above the heart, is mark
ed by two deep flesh burns. A scalp
wound, which bled profusely, was
evidently caused by the back of his
head striking some sharp edge.

Bureau Will Appoint
State Tax Committee

In line with its plans to set up To-
cal committees for the purpose of
investigating and studying all phases
of the tax problem as previously an
nounced, the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation has recently sent to its
county and township leaders a PAM
phlets outlining the points tosbe COW
cred in this study.
"We are asking the county and
township units of the Farm Bureau
to start these Investigations at once
if they have not already done so,"
said j. F. Reed, President of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation. "In
the near future a state tax committee
will be appointed for the purpose of
keeping in touch with and coordinat-
ing the efforts of the local and coun-
ty committees.
eve have been careful not to make
any recommendations with regard to
tax reductions. Rather we have sug-
gested some of the things which a
tax study should include with the
idea that those who make the study
would be aroused to the necessity of
action of some sort through these
studies. We have been especially
careful to emphasize the fact that
unwise reductions or economics might
do more harm than good by striking
at the things most needed by the COM
munities."

Luce Line Stock
Holders Confer

M. o. Lokensgaard of Lake Prairie,
Oscar A. Swenson of New Sweden,
H. N. Benson of St. Peter, and C. H.
Mackenzie of Gaylord, representing
Luce line interests in these communi-
ties, attended a special conference
called at Mankato recently, so says
the St. Peter Herald.
1t is understood that matters of
general interest to the stockholders
were discussed and considered. From
what can be learned, the stockholders
are on the alert to protect them
selves against any further liability in
the matter.
The Luce line, in which several
Redwood County citizens are interest
ed, was sold at auction several months
ago for $275,000, to satisfy the bond
holders despite the objection raised.
The road was bonded for $1,300,000
and had other liabilities aggregating
100000, it is understood. It has
been bought up by the bondholders
through reorganization committee.
The stockholders are strongly organ
lied to protect their interests and are
pursuing policy Of watchful wait
ing. Quite number of stockholders
in Brown county invested their hard
earned money in this venture

BANDITS CUT WIRES AND HOLD
WHOLE VILLAGE AT

Six armed bandits who cut off all
wires leading into the village of
Prinsburg, IL miles north of Renville
in Kandiyohi County, held the village
at bay at the point of their sawed off

The six men drove into town about

Threatening death to anyone who
should interfere with them, the men
drove to the bank, where they un-
loaded their paraphernalia, and pro-
ceeded to break into the building.
While several citizens looked on,
the bandits exploded four charges of
nitro-glycerine, virtually wrecking
the interior of the bank, and tearing
off the large bank door.
They scooped up the available cash,
but did not make any attempt to open
the safety boxes or disturb securities

Funds Raised Here

While, for reasons elsewhere ex--
planned, Redwood Falls did not take
part in the benefit program given at
Tracy last Thursday and Friday,
funds amounting to S20S.00 were rails
ed here last Thursday morning and
draft for that amount was sent to
DR.. Hoidale at Tracy for use with
the other funds raised by the two-day
program. This money was the result
of direct canvas made by President
Chris Schultz of the Commercial Club
and his committee Of assistants.
These men found the response to a
request for money very liberal under
the present conditions. In addition
to this amount number of citizens
responded earlier in the season to a
call for funds from the Governors
office. The men assisting Mr.. Schultz
were M. A. Ebright, C. A. Lauterbach
and Paul Weis. Monday afternoon
Mr.. Schultz received a very cordial
letter from Mr.. Hoidale announcing
the receipt Of this check.

Farm Bureau Wins
in Four Year Fight

The decision of the Federal Trade
commission directing the U. S. Steel
Corporation and it's subsidiaries to
abandon the practice under which they
charge freight from Pittsburgh to
destination" on all steel shipments,
no matter where the steel is produced
or shipped from, comes as victory
to the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, which in common with the
American Farm Bureau Federation
has waged constant fight against
this practice.
According to figures complied by
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion, the average farmer uses over a
ton of steel. Under the present prac-
tice of the Steel Corporation, an Ill
inois farmer buying farm implements
made in Chicago or Moline from steel
made at Chicago or Gary, Indiana,
had to pay on the cost of these impla-
ments a price which would have been
charged had the steel used in. them
actually been made and shipped from
Pittsburgh.
This difference or "phantom
freight" charge amounted on the av-
erage to over Is percent of the cost
OF the steel. On the testimony of an
implement manufacturer this charge
ranged from S1.23 to $3.50 each on
various implements.

Study on Butter
Tariff to Start

John Brandt, president of the Min
nesota Cooperative Creameries asso-
citation, reports that largely as a re-
suit Of the agitation of his organiza-
ton the Tariff commission will begin
at once an investigation of the prob
lem of an adequate tariff on butter.
This investigation will take prece-
dence over others recently started or
contemplated.
An appropriation of $4,000 has
been set aside by the commission for
the purpose Of this study, which will
concern itself with a comparison of
the cost of production of butter in the
United States and other countries,
notably Denmark, Holland and Can
ada. A careful study will be made
by the commission of the butter in
dustry in Minnesota.
The present duty on butter is 8
cents a pound. Under the recent tar
iff law, the president has the power
to increase this amount so per cent,
which would raise the tariff to IL
cents pound.
The agitation for an increase in the
butter tariff was prompted largely by
the drop in the price of butter in this
country in March, occasioned by large
importations from New Zealand and
Denmark.

County Has Big
"Small GRAIN Crop
EARLY THRESHING INDICATES
TREMENDOUS YIELD OF
OATS AND WHEAT,

Threshing has been started in a
few places in Redwood County. and
early reports indicate that the small
grain crop is in very truth record
breaker. A report from near Morgan
states that one farmer reaped fifty
and one-half bushels per acre Of
wheat. This is a phenomenal yield of
this grain and has raised a little
question in the minds of several hear
ing the report. The Gazette has not
been able to absolutely verify this
but the report as made at this Of
flee was well founded and gives small
reason for doubt. The Mankato Free
Press of Monday claims that Edward
Tarjeson, living eight miles south of
Mankato, had threshed eight acres of
winter wheat and and got nearly six
hundred bushels, which would be prac-
tically seventy-five bushels to the
acre. The Gazette is not vouching
for that report-it is merely repeat
ing it!
From the Byron Whittet farm west
of Redwood Falls comes a report of
seventy-seven bushels of oats from
each acre threshed and a slightly
