ton. Gustavus scored the first point,
free throw before being stopped
by the visitors. Hamline started
off by making three field goals and
a free throw before begging stopped
by the Gussie crew. For fourteen
minutes the visitors held the lead, af-
ter this the Gustavus quint started a

this period Hamline never regained
the lead although threatening to sew

AGED FARMER OF LAFAYETTE
BECOMES CONFUSED IN d.
RECTION AND WANDERS FROM
HOME.

Losing his way in the dark early
Friday evening. Henry Wrede, Sr., of
Lafayette wandered onte the railroad
track and was killet. by the S:36
O'Clock passenger train while rela-
tives were making frantic search.
The aged farmer had been troubled
with poor eyesight for some time and
it is the second time within six
months that he has wandered away
and was unable to return home.
According to the story told by rela-
tives, Mr.. Wrede went to the barn
with his sons to assist with the chores
that evening. He complained of a
pain in his head and the sons told him
he had better return to the house,
that they would do the milking. He
walked out, headed for the sheep yard
to close the gate. 1t was after clos
ing the gate that he must have lost
his bearings. The sons thought he
had gone to the house and his wife
and daughters believed him to be at
the barn, hence he was not missed
for some time. The family started q
search at once and continued to call
until a. m. without response. Not
until the following morning was Mr..
Wrede discovered, lying dead beside
the tracks about three miles south
of Lafayette. The engineer of the
train did not see the man on the track.
The New Ulm section crew came
across the body while making the
rounds Friday morning. 1t was hor-
ribly mangled. One arm and one leg
had been severed. The top of the
skull had been crushed and the fea-
lures were unrecognizable. The Sec
tion crew notified the Lafayette au-
