MORTON MAN HURT
BY FALLING TREE
COMPANION HAD TO SAW
TREE TO FREE BADLY
INJURED MAN

Stumbling when he leaped out
of the path of falling tree, Har-
ry Crooks of near Morton was
crushed under a tree three and
one-half feet in diameter which
fell across his right thigh. For
two hours he was clamped under
the tree until his companion, Tom
Bluestone, could saw away the
tree to liberate him.
Brought to Redwood Falls for
first aid, Crooks was later trans
ferred to the Indian hospital at
Pipestone where he is now a pa
tent. Examination of his injur-
les disclosed II fractures of the
left foot and fracture of the
thigh.
Crooks and Bluestone were
cutting wood south of Morton.
AS the tree they were cutting be-
gan to fall, Crooks jumped to get
out of the path. He stumbled
and fell directly under the falling
tree.
Unable to extricate himself, it
was necessary for Bluestone to
cut the tree into sections before
his companion could be freed. It
required more than an hour to
accomplish this. Bluestone then
ran to nearby farm, secured
team of horses and wagon and
took the unfortunate man to the
highway from where he was TAX
en- to Redwood Falls by auto.

FOrsters Affiliate
With Buying Group

Announcement was made this
week by E. j. Stephany Of the
Forster Furniture company of the
affiliation of that firm with a
national buying organization dur
ing the recent visit made by
company officials to the semi
annual furniture market in Chi
cago. Membership is by invita-
ton and is limited to carefully
selected stores and Forsters were
greatly encouraged by this re-
cognition.
Furniture like all other COM
modities is being sold to dealers
at higher prices, Mr.. Stephany
said, and higher prices may be
expected when merchandise now
stored in warehouses or on order
is sold.
Modern styles of furniture
continue to be most popular. In
bedroom suites, modern predom-
mates by big margin. In liv-
ing room, eighteenth century is
showing some strength along with
modern and modified modern. In
dining rooms, modern leads with
conventional a close second. Rugs
have been brought out in the
greatest variety of styles with
the borderless types in room sizes
far in the lead. Patterns range
from Oriental through Persian,
Hooked and Colonial to Modern.
Fabrics for living room suites
were shown largely in figured
materials in tapestry, velvets and
mohairs. A new color is Dubon-
net which is a new wine shade

tending toward the purple. Del
phinium Blue, light shade re-
sembling Alice Blue, is predicted
as popular color for hangings,
trims and women's apparel.
One of the most interesting de-
velopmentS is a studio which tits
to permit the bottom unit to be
pulled out without showing any
lines or break in the trim. An
other new feature is the use of
bleached woods or blonde woods
for bedroom suites and small
living room pieces. These are
most attractive when used in
combination with maple or ma
hogany. It was found that prac-
tically every bedroom suite was
displayed with a round or rectan-
gular mirror hung over the bed
and the manufacturers stated
that this practice is now quite
prevalent throughout the east.
French Pouffs or hassocks have
become a welcome addition to
many living rooms in place of the
much used ottoman.

CARDS TOPPLE
NEW ULM 1914

Redwood played championship
ball the first half and then lapsed
into comparatively mediocre play
during the second, finally winning
from New Ulm, ID to Is here Fri
day night.
New Ulm's only points in the
first half were a field goal by D.
Kuske, center, in the final min
utes of the second quarter. Their
point drouth was no reflection on
their shooting but a compliment
to the guarding of the Cardinals
who practically smothered the
visitors offense throughout the
first half.
Thomson popped in the first
basket when the game was Sec
onds old, Russ Lauterbach scored
from the floor and Paffrath and
Starr each followed in for one
during the first quarter, Thomson
concluding the period with free
toss which placed the score at 8
to 0.
The second quarter was closer
with Thomson'S field goal and
Paffrath's free toss bringing Red
woods tally to IL at the half, to
two for the HarmaniteS.
Apparently the awarding of the
Little Ten trophy between halves
took the Cardinals mind off bas-
ketban for they were a far less
proficient team in the second half
as New Ulm begin to cut into the
lead
First it was free toss, a basket
and then another free toss and
basket during the quarter while
Redwood failed to count, reducing
the lead to II and 8.
Paffrath and Starr made up
their mind something should be
done, and boosted the advantage
back to 1873, only to see it pared
to five points with a basket and
free shot, most of New Ulm's
points coming from the sharp
shooting Kuske who stood we'll
out on the floor and dropped them
! in. Lauterbach slipped in a bas-
ket for a seven point lead and
New Ulm could produce but two
points in the remaining two min
uteS.
The Juniors game was even
more thrilling from the spectators
angle, Redwood taking IL to 4
lead the first half which New Ulm
had reduced to IA to 10 as the
third period ended. The game
continued nip and tuck with New
Ulm gaining steadily, finally los
ing out 81 to 20 to the future Car
dinalS.

DANUBE MAN TRIES
SUICIDE IN SALOON
CON REGAIN IN ST. PETER
AFTER TAKING POISON
AT MORTON

Presumably depressed, Con Re-
gan, a farmer living near Dam
ube, bought a bottle of Strychnlne
at the Morton drug store, emptied
the contents into glass or
charged water and drank it while
sitting in a booth in Charles
place there.
The poison took effect almost
at once, but a physician who was
summoned Immediately rushed
the man to the Redwood Falls
hospital where an antidote was
given. Regain recovered from the
heavy dose of poison only to be
committed by Renville county
authorities to the state hospital at
St. Peter where he will be con-
fined indefinitely.
1t was reported that Regain at
tempted to purchase a revolver
from Morton firm, but when he
could not get a weapon that
struck his fancy, he went to the
drug store and purchased bottle
of strychnine ''for rats he SAID.
Regain was unknown in Morton
and after signing for the poison
in the customary manner, he
looked around the streets for
someone he knew, presumably to
unburden his mind. At Charles
place. he sat down in booth but
placed no order because he
brought with him several bottles
of soft drinks. While in the
booth an acquaintance from Dan
ube entered the place. Regain
called to him and the two con-
Versed, but his acquaintance re-
peatedly left him, only to return
at the insistance of Regain.
The acquaintance finally went
to the bar and asked for glass
of charged water for Regain who
took the glass, emptied the stry-
Gimme into it and quickly drank
a portion of it before his compan-
ion could wrench the glass from
him.
He resisted when an attempt
was made to take him to the hos
pital, but was subdued by several
patrons.

ELYITES HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
Drum Corps Members Avoid
Collision With Ore Train
Monday Night.

Monday night the car in which Jos.
Gerzin, Jr., DR.. j. j. Call, Thomas j.
Carey, Albert McMahan and Peter
Moroni were returning from the State
Fair where they had appeared with the
Ely Drum and Bugle Corps, encountered
a dense fog after leaving Duluth.
With Mr.. Gerzin at the wheel they
were making good time Notwithstanding
the fog. Arriving near Eveleth, dark
object suddenly loomed before the
driver and he at once sensed that it was
a moving ore train.
Brakes were applied and the car was
swung sharply around and ran a short
distance alongside the track in the di-
rection the train was going before
being brought to a standStill.
It is needless to state that the pas
sengers were horror-stricken when the
train appeared about so feet ahead of
them across the road. The prompt ac-
ton of the driver and the distance,
with the brakes set, and a fair measure
of luck, is all that saved the party from
serious accident or perhaps instant
death.
The party is receiving the congratu-
lations of their numerous friends over
the miraculous escape.

ton Kuzma, 40, of this city narrowly
escaped death through prompt action of
fellow workers who reached the victim
after Is minutes of desperate digging.
A combination of circumstances, his
crouching position while working in the

Haze Returned From Visit
to Homeland in Finland.

Mike Somero and Nick Alfalfa, who
/ left with party of over 100 Duluth
people three months ago for visit in
Finland, have returned and report a
most enjoyable trip to the land of their
birth.
! Mr.. Somero said upon their return
that the larger part of the time was
spent in the city of Helsingfors, now
known as Helsinski, and that trips from
there were made into the interior. He
reports the economic situation in his
homeland as the best in years, with
employment at good wages, building OPP
erations booming and the agricultural
and timber business in full swing.
While at Kalajoki, Finland, Mr.. Som
ero and Mr.. Alfalfa were most agree
ably surprised when hailed as Mike and
Nick, in the English language on the
streets by the Misses Lempi Hippaka
and Llama Laitala also on a visit in
Finland.
While away Messrs. Somero and Ali
ala visited eight cities, spending con-
siderable time at Helsingfors where Mr.
Alfalfa has two sisters and two brothers
and at Kalajok where Mr. Somero has
| relatives. They sailed on the Cunard
White Star line from New York along
with nearly 1000 other passengers.
