ARTHUR MUM ALSO
HURT In ACCIDENT
AT SAME time
ONE MAN MEETS INSTANT
DEATH, OTHER SERIOUSLY
INJURED WHEN THEY
FALL 80 FEET.
JURY DECIDES HOIST
NOT PROPERLY SET
ARTHUR MUM IN HOSPITAL IN
SERIOUS CONDITION; L. STITZ
BURIAL SERVICE HELD
THURSDAY p. M.

Death came close and spoke sharp
ly to the people of Redwood Falls
Monday morning when one man was
killed and another seriously injured
in a scaffold accident at the Hotel
Ramsey. Leonard Stitz was killed in
stantly when he was thrown from the
scaffold at a height of thirty feet,
falling onto the cement paving. The
fall broke his neck and there were no
other injuries except a scalp wound
about two inches long on the back of
his head, he having fallen with his
full weight upon his head and shoul-
ders. Arthur Mum, the other victim
of the fall is in the Redwood Falls
hospital in very serious condition.
His leg and hip are badly crushed,
one arm is broken and he is suffering
probable internal injuries. Physicians
entertain grave doubts of his recov-
cry.
The accident happened about eight
o'clock Monday morning. The two
men were standing on the scaffold
and the wheel barrow was being
hoisted to them by the derrick at
tached to the scaffold. AS the wheel
barrow neared the scaffold the handle
of it caught in some way and both
men leaned over to extricate it. Then
the crash came, caused either by de-
fects in the derrick and other equip
ment or in some other way not wholly
understood by the several persons who
witnessed the accident. Both the der
rick and wheelbarrow fell with the
men, but the latter thrown about six
feet clear of the equipment falling on
the pavement. Stitz hit the pavement
first, Mum falling across him and
moving after he fell. The Coroner's
jury meeting Monday afternoon found
that the accident was caused thru the
hoist being insecurely and improper
ly fastened to the scaffolding.
The burial service for Leonard
Stitz will be held at the Christian
church at two-thirty o'clock Thursday
afternoon with Rev. E. P. Gabriel Of
ficiating and interment will be made
in the Redwood Falls cemetery. The
deceased was the eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Stitz. He was
twenty-nine years of age and is sur
vived by his wife and two young chill
dren, his parents and several brothers
and sisters, all residents of Redwood
Falls. He was an energetic and in
dustrious young man of good moral
qualities. For a long time he worked
as a plummer for the Jaehning Hard
ware Company. His untimely death
was great shock to the people Of the
community as well as a greats grief
to his family.

and resides with his parents in Red

the same, an indeterminate term of
from one to seven years in the State
Reformatory at St. Cloud. Two plead
ed guilty to the charge and two stood
trial-in each case the sentence was
the same. In pronouncing sentence
Judge Olsen made the following men,
orandum on the case:
"Some two years ago number OF
young men were brought before the
District Court of this county on the
same kind of charge as in this case.
1t is always hard and disagreeable
duty for the Court to send young men
to prison, and because of the youth OF
the defendants and other circum-
stances, the Court exercised leniency
and suspended the sentences.
"Last year, again, dozen or more
young men came before the Court in
this county on the same kind of a
charge. The Court again granted
leniency and prison sentences were
suspended. 1t was hoped and expect
ed that this cleared the situation and
that no further cases of this kind
would occur. But we find the same

Der. This committee has the say in
the expending of $4,000, 100000 an
nually. Mr.. Clague stated that the
postal department is an expensive or
ganization, not from a per capita
standpoint, but because it requires lots
of money with which to function, but

terment of conditions for postal en-
ployees was not begrudged by the

Red Cross Aids
Flood Sufferers

Earl Whiting, Treasurer for the
Redwood County Red Cross Chapter,
reports that thus far the County
Chapter has sent S517.16 to the flood
sufferers of the Lower Mississippi.
This report is not yet complete as sew
eral of the branches have made no
report and it is probable that this
sum will be augmented by at least
$500 more. The Tag Day sponsored
by the Redwood Falls branch last Sat-
urday raised $144.02. These tags were
sold by the girls of Miss Hewitt's Scout
troop who did splendid service. The
need is still urgent and the local

CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-The Chicago
Tribune said today it had learned
that Samuel insult, public utilities
magnate, and Daniel j. Schuyler
Jr., his attorney, have offered to
yield to the Reed Senate elections
investigating committee, which
cited them for contempt nearly a
year ago.
insult and Schuyler, the Tribune
said, have made written offer to
answer questions regarding a $4O,-
600 campaign donation by insult
in the State senatorial election of
1925.
The offer, 1t was said, may have
an important effect on the fight
over seating Smith when the Senate
conveneS next week.
Senator James A. Reed, Demo-
crat, Mo-, chairman of the in
vestigating committee, addressed the
Cook County Real Estate board
last night. He mentioned the Smith
case only incidentally, but de-
nounced Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, a power in Pennsylvania
politics, for his part in the fight
over seating William S. Ware, as
Senator from Pennsylvania.
After denouncing fraud, bribery,
and corruption" in the Ware cleo
ton, Reed said:
"It remained for the secretary of
the treasury, from his position in
the cabinet, to give to our picture
a final touch of sanctity, when,
with impious insolence, he declared
the gathering Of the slush fund to
have been as justifiable as the COL
lecting of moneys for the Church
of God Almighty"
