VICTIM
is NEAR DEATH
FinlaySOn Young Man Drives Into
Moving Freight Train Late
Tuesday Night.

Ed Hautala, 26, living two miles
northeast of Finlayson, was seriously
and perhaps fatally injured Tuesday
night near 10 O'Clock when he drove
his car into moving freight train
on the Finlayson crossing near the
Petry garage.
Hautala had attended the Finlay-
son annual school meeting earlier in
the evening and had later visited at
the Ed Koski home. from which place
he was leaving for-his home when
the accident occurred AS reported,
Hautala had not seen the train across
the road and had driven his Chevrolet
touring car into it. No one was at
the scene of the accident at the time
nor for some time afterward, but
when Milton Teich drove to the ga
rage to store his car for the night, he
heard the continuous sound of an au-
tomobile horn coming from near the
crossing. He Investigated and found
the wrecked car with Hautala pinned
underneath with the sounding of the
horn being caused by an object
against it. He Immediately summoned
help and the injured man was taken
to the office of DR.. Pearson where a
diagnosis revealed the fact that the
victim had suffered a fractured skull,
four broken ribs and internal in
juries. Medical attention was given
him during the night and after
bleeding showed internal injuries, he
was rushed to hospital in the Twin
Cities Wednesday morning. At this
time it is not known whether or not
the victim will recover.

transformers.
Mrs Lars Christensen, who lives
near the scene of the accident and
who happened to be in the front of
her residence, heard a noise similar
to that of striking lightning and look
ed up just in time to see the two men
fall. Macmillan falling just to the
platform and Oliver falling to the
ground approximately 10 feet below.
Various men from nearby were i'm
mediately summoned and together
with DR.. H. E. Levin, gave first aid
to the victims but to no avail. the
charge of $500 volts was too much.
After the arrival of DR.. B. S. Boiling
of Sandstone, the victims were pro-
noupced dead and were then removed
to the village hall where they were
viewed by County Coroner Gottry, aft
er which the bodies were removed to
Sandstone where burial preparations
were rendered.
Macmillan Hit First.

just climbed to the platform, had lift
ed the metal cover from the dead
transformer and were carrying it to-
the side to lay it down. In so doing.
Macmillan backed into the 660O-volt
lead-in wire of another transformer

side approximately three inches in
diameter and carried on through the,
lid into divers body.
