GAS
Despondent Over Falling Off
of Business He Com
mits Suicide.

When Thomas Croft Wilkinson,
thirty-seven, 1915 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast, parted with his team
of horses at a bazaar last Saturday,
his interest in life ceased. Last
night his father, Thomas r. Will
kinson, found him dead from as
phyxiation.
AS he went by his sons room last
night the elder Wilkinson smelled
gas. The door leading into his
sons bedroom always unlocked, was
shut tightly. Forcing the door with
the aid Of others, Wilkinson found
his son lifeless in bed.
Coroner J. Ramsay hewitt issued
a certificate Of suicide.
Wilkinson was a huckster. In
recent weeks business had fallen off
and as a result, he grew respondent.
According to Francis Higgs, 1880

made two attempts to buy a re-
volver.
This is said to be the second
suicide in the family. A few years
ago a brother is said to have fired

Paving East Of Melrose
Is Not Open to the Public
Peter MacNamara and Emil Dahlem
Have Marrow Escape From In
jury Wednesday

Wednesday afternoon of this week
as Peter MacNamara and Emil Dab
lem were riding east out of Melrose
in the formers Oakland, it was de-
cided to try out the new piece of paw
ing on Babcock Highway No. 3,
which, they understood had been OPP
ened for travel. This information
proved to be erroneous but every
thing went well until they approached
the new bridge across Sank River
when they discovered a cable, strung
across the paving.
Mr.. MacNamara applied the
brakes at once but they did not work
properly and the cable caught the
radiator cap, for a moment, and
then swung back against the wind
shield, tearing it from the body of the
car, bending the steering column
and wrecking the steering wheel
Broken glass was scattered all about
the occupants of the car but fortu-
nately only Mr.. Dahlem was slightly
injured.
After blocking up the steering
column the car was cautiously and
slowly driven back to Sank Centre,
the short spokes of the steering
wheel being used to manipulate the
car.

ELROSA PIONEER DIES

The death of Albert Weisser, a
we'll known and prominent resident
of Elrosa, occurred Friday, November
18th, at o'clock p. m. He had been
ill for about a year and death was
due to cancer of the liver.
Albert Weisser was born in Schle-
sien, Germany, on May 10th, 1857,
being past 81 years of age at his
death. He came to Spring Hill from
Germany in 1878. On January 20,
1880, he was married there to Eliza
beth Hens. They lived on a farm
at Spring Hill for about ten years
and then bought a. farm 1 u miles
southwest of Elrosa and lived there
until five years ago when they sold
their farm and moved to Elrosa
The deceased is survived by his
wife and ten children, one child be-
ing dead. The children are: Fred
Weisser of Metre Grove; Mrs. Anton
Bolz of Melrose; Mrs. Hubert Zen
zen of Sank Centre; Mike and Tony
Weisser of Holdingford; Frank Weis-
ser of Spring Hill Mrs. John Schnei-
der and Casper, John and VIM. Weis-
ser of Elrosa. He is also survived
by sister, Mrs. Frank Teichert of
Eden Valley, and relatives in Ger
many.
The funeral was held at Elrosa

bodies were recovered in about Is or
20 minutes after the drowning just
north Of the Moser residence by
Ig. Lemm using duck boat and
rake.
The boys were about II years of
age. The funeral-a joint one-was
held from st. Bonifice Catholic
church at Melrose Monday morning
at 900 o'clock, the Solemn Requim
Mass being read. The remains of
young Winter were laid to rest in
st. .Bonifice cemetery and young
Rowe in St. Patrick's cemetery.
Another lad, young Klebler, who
was with the drowned boys at the time
had a very narrow escape. He
broke through the ice, but the water
was only to his waist line and he
extricated himself.
Skating is wonderful exercise and
fine sport, but Young America is
prone to take unnecessary chances.
Parents and friends had warned the
victims of last Friady's accident to
keep off the river as it was unsafe
Their lamentable fate should be a
serious warning to others.

There is strong probability that if
sufficient pressure is brought to bear,
that E. P. Stacy & Sons will open a

mission and Wholesale grocery bust
ness in this city.
Recently the company purchased
Right of Way, owned and operated by
the Minneapolis Brewing Company
prior to the enactment of the Vol
stead law.
The Herald understands that it is
not the purpose of the Stacy Com
pany to open branch in this city at
once, but have purchased the build
ings in order to be ready to step in
if some other concern should attempt
to take the field.
Stacy & Company are efficiently
served in this city by Lynn Whitson
of this city as travelling representa-
tive. Mr.. Whitson travels east on
the N. P. as far as Swanville and
west as far as Glenwood. He goes
east on the Great Northern main line
as far as Melrose, and west to Evans
willie. He travels northwest on the
tx" line to Eagle Bend. There are
wholesale grocery houses successful
ly operated at Little Falls, Wadena
and Alexandria and a new house has
recently opened at Glenwood.
If the Stacy Company opens in
Sank Centre they will not only carry
staple lines in groceries but fruit
would be shipped to this city in car
load lots.
They are reliable concern and
their coming would mean the addi-
ton of several families to this city.

RETIRES FROM HOME SCHOOL


DR.. H. J. Schopf who has been
the resident dentist at the Home
School for Girls for the past several
years, will sever his connection with
the institution December first. It has
been the policy of DIR. Schopf to
spend Tuesday and Wednesday of
each week in Sank Centre, but his
increasing practice at Clarissa makes
it imperative that he devote his entire
time to his home office. 1t was DR..
Schopf,'s wish to retire from the Home
School before and he is remaining un-
til the first of December at the ex-
pressed wish of the Minnesota Board
of Control. DIR. Schopf has many
friends in Sank Centre who regret
the necessity of his severing rela-
tions with the Home School and hope
that he will continue to prosper in
his practice at Clarissa.
