INJURIES PROVE FATAL.

T. 0. Anderson of Qennessee Is fatally Injured by a Qasollne Englae.

Lying unconscious by the side of his gasoline engine with his head la­cerated and bleeding, Mr. T. O. An­derson was found by the boy who was assisting him at feed-grinding last Wednesday afternoon on his j if arm in the township of Oennessee. Doctor Gibson of Atwater was called at once and later Dr. McLaughlin of Will-mar, but were unable to restore him to consciousness. He lay unconscious all the next day and Friday. At times some signs would indicate an improved condition, but at six o'clock on Fri­day, April 18, death claimed its victim without having given him a moment of consciousness. How the accident happened is not known. It is assumed that he slipped and fell onto the en­gine, his head striking the fly wheel. Indeed, hair was found on the spokes of the wheel. The boy reports that Mr. Anderson left the room where the feed mill stands and went into the en­gine room, but as he did not return the lad went to see what the trouble was and found the unfortunate man as stated. The sad accident is a crushing blow to the surviying widow, and the near relatives ot the deceased, who have the deepest sympathy of all their friends in tbeir sudden grief and sorrow.

T. Olof Anderson was born at Mors, Dalarne, Sweden, on April 16, 1853, and was accordingly forty-nine years old on the day of the accident. He arrived in this country with his fo'ks July 4, 1868, and came at once to Kan­diyohi county where they have resided continuously since that time. In 1869 the deceased became a member of the Swedish Lutheran church of Atwater and has remained so. On Jan. 8,1881, Mr. Anderson was united in marriage to Miss Betsy Quiat. They had no children. The old parents, Anders and Karin Olson, survive their ' son. The deceased also leaves two sisters, Mrs. R. Andrew Peterson of Gennes-see and Mrs. P. Peterson of Olivia, and one brother, Lewis, who resides in Gennessee.

The funeral occurred Monday, Apr. 21. Services were held at the church at Atwater. The pastor, Rev. G. O. Schoberg, preached the funeral ser­mon, U9ing as his subject James 4:14. A large concourse of people witnessed the last sad rites over the remains of their friend and neighbor, whose life had been so abruptly and unexpected­ly taken away.

United Foresters. Court Willmar No. 113 held an en­

thusiastic meeting last Thursday night, Bro. W. T. Jackson, D. H. R. for Minnesota being present repre­senting the High Court. A number of applications for membership were sub­mitted and a large class initiated. Officers for the ensuing term were elected as follows:

Chief Ranger, Bro. J. L. Lindner; Past Chief Ranger, Sis. Josephine Swilling; Vice Ranger, Sis. Tena Swilling; Treasurer, Bro. H. H. Brem; Secretary, Sis. Blanche Crawford; Chaplain, Sis. Carrie Furtney, Chief Archer, Bro. Ed. P. Furtney; Inner Woodward, Sis. M. G. Swilling; Outer Woodward, Bro. L. A. Patton; Representative, Bro. J. L. Lindner; Alternative, Bro. E. Christensen.

A communication was read show­ing that Sister M. A. Beam, who lives In Brainerd, who had become entitled to the total disability clause of her certificate through severe sickness, re­ceived the prompt payment of the check for 1500 and for which herself and family desire to express their thankfulness. The future meetings will be on first and third Thursdays.

Drugged sad Robbed. One family, among many, in Will­

mar will especially be pleased when the saloons close next Monday night to open no more it is hoped by per­mission of the voters of Willmar. Last Thursday was pay day, and the husband did not come home at night. Towards morning the wife became greatly alarmed and sent neighbors to search for the missing man but no trace could be found of him. On Fri­day the search was renewed but with no success until in the evening when he was found in the back room of a saloon still in a stupor, with most of his month's wages and a valuable watch stolen from him. His wife would not consent to make complaint against the saloonkeeper, fearful that her'husband might lose his job. She will, however, cordially enjoy to see the mask of respectability torn off from the nefarious business.

Rev. looth Resigns. Rev. D. T. Booth has resigned as

pastor of St. Luke's parish in this city. Rev. Booth has been the pastor of said parish ever since its organiza­tion in 1873, thus serving for nearly 29 years. Last fall he obtained leave

' of absence for six months and went to California to take charge of the mis­sion at San Jose, relieving his son Lawrence, who is suffering with lung trouble. As the latter is not yet in condition to resume work his father concluded to sever his connection with the Will mar parish in order to remain in California.

Ho for Asslniboia. A party of gentlemen from this

county made a trip to Estawan, As-siniboia, Canada, last week to look up the prospects of that country. The lands owned by the Willmar Realty Co. lie in a township located about eight miles north of the place named which in turn lies but a few miles north of the Canada line, being the next sta-* tion on the Soo Pacific railroad from Portal, N. Dak. The party, consisted of the following gentlemen, wellknown in the county: O. H. Thompson and Emil Ogren, of New London; Nels Mikkelson, A. G. Hedln and Rasmus Rasmusson of Willmar and C. J. Carlherg of Mamre. The gentlemen were well pleased with the land and each filed on a homestead and bought a half section of land besides. Thomas Thompson, father of O. H. Thompson, has also filed on land ad­joining to that filed on by his son. There are fine coal mines at Estawan and tralnloads of it is being shipped from there, so that the matter of fuel does not present the problem that it did formerly on the Dakota prairies. The gentlemen unite in saying that the demand for the land Is so great there that the Willmar Realty company could easily dispose of all their hold­ings there at a profit within three weeks.

A Curious Aooldont. Last Monday Express Messenger

Oilman had what might have been a fatal accident at Benson. In fact, it was a miracle that it wasnt. When he opened his iron safe to place a package therein in some manner he pushed it against his revolver in such a way that it went off, the bullet pas­sing through his upper lip and teeth and dropping in the mouth. It seems impossible that the force of the bullet could be stopped by the man's teeth enough so that after passing through them it would drop in the mouth. The only way it can be accounted for is that the bullet struck the iron side of the safe, thus spending its force, and then glanced off and hit Mr. Oilman with the above result Report has it that Mr. Oilman will .not be laid up more than a few days and be none the worse for the experience.

Last summer he was of­fered the principalshlp at Kensington, Minn., which he accepted with some misgivings, as his. health seemed to fail him. At Thanksgiving time he was obliged to resign his position. He went to Phoenix, Arizona, in the hope that a change of climate might benefit him. About four weeks before his death the signs *erc w» obvious that the disease could not be checked, and the poor boy came home to spend the last weeks with his folks. He died as above stated. Anthony was an up­right and conscientious young man and his death has cast a deep gloom over his many old associates and friends. His parents, a sister, Miss Jennie Anderson, and a brother, Aug­ust Anderson, who is cashier of a bank at Kensington, are the near rela­tives left to mourn. They command the sympathy of the community.

The funeral occurred last Monday afternoon at three o'clock. Services were held at the Swedish Mission church. Rev. J. J. Daniels delivered the sermon on the subject contained in 1 Cor. 15:26-27. Rev. Osterholm of Willmar made a few touching remarks in English based on Rev. 22:12-14. The choir sang Anthony's favorite hymn, 44Some Day the Silver Chord will Break." The remains were laid away for the long rest at the Oak Hill ceme­tery. The nail-bearers were Messrs. Henry Ltndgren, EbenlE. Lawson, J. Gust Peterson, Andrew Quam, Gust Walby and Carl Estrem.

DEATH AT DIAMOND LAKE.

Mrs. Agnes Swan Passes Away to Her Eternal Reward Monday.

It becomes our sad duty this week to record the death of Mrs. Agnes Swan, wife of Mr. John Swan of Dia­mond Lake. Deceased had for several months been suffering from lung trouble, and her life's strength slowly ebbed away, until the angel of death came to relieve her of all earthly suf­fering. The end came at two o'clock Monday morning, at her childhood home on the banks of Diamond Lake.

Agnes Tait was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Tait of Diamond Lake. She was born at that place March 10, 1860. At the age of 21 she was mar­ried to John Swan of town of Harri­son. She leaves to mourn her de­parture her husband, two daughters-Alice, aged 20, and Janet, aged 18 years; her aged parents; three sisters —Mrs. J. H.'Parsons of Irving, Mrs. Henry Johnson of Diamond Lake, and Miss Rose Tait; three brothers-James, John, Jr., and Thomas Tait. Besides these a large circle of other relatives and a host of friends join with the immediate family in their sorrow.

The funeral occurred Tuesday after­noon at the home of her parents. Ser­vices were conducted by Revs. Daven­port and White. The former preached an impressive funeral service, taking for his texts the following passages: •'If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed lime will I wait till my change come. Job 14:14. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that be-lieveth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. St. John 11:25. Gospel hymn No. 275 was sung, ac­cording to a request madeiby deceased during her final illness. The body was laid at rest in Oakside cemetery in Harrison.

She was followed to her final rest­ing place by the largest funeral pro­cession ever seen in that vicinity, there being eighty teams in the cor­tege. Messrs. Peter Henderson, Erick Engvall, And. Nelson, John Moord, John Dalziel and Prank Harris acted as pallbearers.

Thus ends as far as this world is concerned, the life story of a good woman, a kind and devoted wife and mother, an earnest and devout christ­ian. For such death has no terrors: it is only the door to the real life. Though her life's span fell short of the alloted time, it far outweighed in usefulness the longest life spent in selfish aims, and leaves an influence behind that will not die.

The family of Andrew Garwell left last Monday to join Mr. Garwell at Valley, Wash., where they expect to

and best low-priced bouse in the oity. make their future home.

Re-engagement of Passion Play. Owing to failure of the railroad

company to properly transfer the bag­gage of Prof. Bowden and wife, they were unable to appear Monday night with the production of the only real Oberammergau Passion Play of 1900 in America.

Unfortunate as was the disappoint­ment to everyone, it could not be avoided, and now inv order to give the Willmar people an opportunity of see­ing this greatest of all dramatic re­productions another date has been arranged. On this date the company will come from Litchfield. Those holding tickets for Monday night can have their money refunded or can keep the tickets which are good for date of Friday evening May 9.

It has been given 40 nights in the prin­cipal churches and colleges of Min­neapolis and St. Paul and comes highly and unanimously endorsed by clergy, press and public. Remember the day and date.

Increase in Insuranoo Rates. A Mr. King, representing W. I. Fish­

er, secretary of Minnesota and Dak­ota Fire Underwriters, was at Will­mar last week, revising the fire map and re-rating the insurance charges. There will be an increase in the rates all through. His diagrams of some of the back yards of the town will surely not tend to lower rates. He stated that the water main and hydrant sys­tem was entirely inadequate. If it were increased to the required capa­city, a lessening of rates would fol­low, -"*
