when Mrs. Esther Carlson, charged
with poisoning her wealthy lumber

Mrs. Carlson's lips when she was
asked If she had poisoned Carl
August Lindstrom, retired Chicago
lumberman She died Wednesday
night from tuberculosis in the
county hospital.
Link to Belle Guinness
The other mystery that went I'M
answered was whether Mrs. Carlson
s bore q resemblance to the notorious
Belle Guinness, who disappeared
after being accused as the poisoner
of fourteen persons many years ago
on her farm near La Porte, Ind.
Mrs. Anna Erickson, a neighbor,
had gone to trial on the Lindstrom
poisoning charge when Ray Stahl-
man, deputy district attorney, was
informed Mrs. Carlson would not
live another hour.
With Peter and Charles Lind

Mrs. Carlson was semi conscious
and her answers we're so vague
~ Stahlman refused to accept them as
evidence.
Same Sigh Is Answer
Did you poison MIR. Lindstrom?"
- Stahlman asked
a muffled sigh which sounded like
"Yes" was the only response.
You admit you gave him ar

sigh was given in answer.
Joseph Marchetti, defense sttor-

Mrs Carlson, you mean you did
not kill Mr.. Lindstrom, don't you?"

Blowout Causes Accident

A tire blowout was the cause Of
an automobile accident on the pave
ment short distance east Of West
Union Monday morning. A man
from Fargo, who was on his way
to Pennsylvania, accompanied by
nine folks, a man, woman and chill
dren, was driving along at a So
mile pace when the rear right tire
blew out. The sudden drop caused
the car, which was an Essex, to
swerve from the pavement into
loose sand. The wheel broke and
the car tipped over. No one was
seriously hurt, the only person in
jured at all being little boy, whose
head hit one Of the top bows. After
considerable delay while getting
their car repaired they resumed
their journey eastward.

Serious Loss Due
To Brooder Fire
Sank Centre Department Responds
Pr0mptly-Granary and Ma
chine Shed Also DESTROYED

Sunday evening at HOO the
Sank Centre Fire Department an
swered a cal to the farm home Of
Henry Kruse, five miles southeast
of Sank Centre, just off of Highway
No. 8.
The fire started in the brooder
house which was located near the
granary. When the department ar
rived the brooder house was de-
stroyed and the nearby granary
and machine shed was a mass Of
flames. Both buildings were COM
pletely destroyed. Because Of the
scarcity of water it was only pos
sible for the department to save
the other farm buildings. Several
hundred bushels of grain were
burned. It Is understood that Mr..
Kruse was able to remove most of
his machinery to a place Of safety.
Fortunately the wind was blow
ing from the south and the farm:
home was not placed in serious
jeopardy.
Mr.. Kruse was partially insured
in the Metre Grove Farmers Nut

the Long Hospital in the old Cas-
sius Sprague home on Elm street,
has completed negotiations for the
purchase Of the Markson home cor
ner of Third and Elm street and

hospital opened more than 200 pat
tents have been treated with a loss
of less than three per cent.
Mrs. Long stated to the Herald

Water, Light & Power Commission
Considers Giving Council $1,000.
Action to Be Taken Soon

With state taxes on the in
crease following the rampage
of the 1881 legislature, kindly
note looms up in our city, one
that will make the taxpayer
smile or shout with glee, as the
case may be.
George O'Gara, chairman Of
the Water, Light & Power
Commission, in an interview to
the Herald reporter early this
week, stated that that august
body, which Is responsible for
light and darkness. wet or dry
ness has a plan to reduce the
city tax rate.
For the past eight months the
commission has been consider
ing a plan whereby they would
present the city council with
about 100000, solely and only
for the purpose Of tightening the
burden Of our citizens, who
have assessable worldly goods.
and who always foot the I bills.
This plan was advanced owing
to the condition Of times and
was thought by the commission
as being timely in this unstable
period. Action on this matter
will probably be taken in the
very near future.
