ly Killed When His Car
Crashes Hay Rack
MILITARY FUNERAL
HELD HERE TODAY
Jury Gives Verdict of Accident
al Death Caused From Board

An automobile crashing into rack
loaded with straw caused the instant
death of Herman L. Joern of Redwood
Falls last Saturday night. The ac-
cident occurred on the Morton hill
east Of Redwood Falls at approx
mately 700 o'clock. Joern, who had
been in Morton on business, started
to Redwood Falls. Part way up the
Morton hill Hugo Wederath, a farm
er of Morton, was driving to the
east with a load of straw.
Mr.. Joern, evidentally not seeing
the team or load of straw, crashed
into the left horse killing it instantly.
The left corner of the straw rack hit
the car nearly center, turning the car
completely around so that it was fac
ing east.
Another car came along and stop
ped. Mr.. Wederath called for help
and stated that the driver should look
into the wrecked car. Here Joern
was found unconscious, although he
was thought to have been breathing.
DR.. B. P. Finn and Sheriff L. j. Kise
were called but before they could ar
rive Mr.. Joern was dead.
A coroners jury declared that death
was caused by part of the rack hit
ting the victim in the head, causing
a fractured skull.
The services of Mr.. Joern were held
at the Armory in Redwood Falls to-
day at 1880 P. M. in charge of the
American Legion of Redwood Falls.
The body was placed in state in the
armory at noon today. Military SER
vices were held and were officiated
by DR.. j. P. Linn of the First Pres
byterian church.
Herman L. Joern was born in Red
wood county on May 20, 1896. He
was the son of Mrs. Bertha Joern of
Redwood Falls. On April 5, 1918 Mr..

discharged from the service and came
to Redwood Falls, where he was en-
ployed by Redwood county in build
ing roads for several years, the last
few years being employed as sales

in Second Item.

! Two items of supplemental estimate of
appropriation for the fiscal year 1881,
totaling $112,500, were submitted to
the House yesterday by President
Hoover. One of these items is for
S87,500 to continue the operation of
Center Market under the Department
of Agriculture from July to December

of the market was not included in the

at the time the budget was trans

on which the market is located would
be needed in the Federal building pro-

LOUIS c. SCRIBNER IS
 RETURNED TO WRANGELL

Louis Scribner was returned to Wrangell on the Alaska from Ket- chikan where he was taken for X-ray following his injury last week. After studying the X-ray pictures Dr. Edwards expressed the opinion that operating procedures are not indicated at the present time.
 The many friends of MT. Scrib- ner are more hopeful now than when he was first hurt. The con- sensus of opinion seems to be that considering the serious nature of his injury his condition at the pres ent time is as good as could be ex- pected although his convalesence will probably be very slow.
 E. A. Lindman, who accompanied MT. Scribner to Ketchikan states that too much cannot be said in praise of the American Legion of Ketchikan for the interest they took in MT. Scribner and the help they rendered while he was in their city.

IN MEMORY OF CLAUDE BLACKINGTON

Claude is gone, he has left us now, He has crossed the great divide, No better than he will you ever see, if you search this world so wide. An honest man, with a kindly heart, and always a cheery smile. To help a friend, his way he would wend for many a weary mile. He may have had his faults, and who has not? You, as we'll as me But his good points outweighed them all, which might not hap pened to us, you see.
 So goodbye, Claude, we will all miss you, the friends you have left behind.
 There will be no one to take your place, one like you is hard to find.
