will be ready to do anything in the
plumbing line or any other line.
He has a host of friends in this city

serious illness.
CRUSHED UNDER
BIG SEPARATOR
Frank Jakonbek Has Back Bro
ken In a Threshing Machine
Accident in Roscland.
Frank Jakoubek, who has been
threshing in the vicinity of Svea
for some time, had his back broken
in an accident which occurred yes
terday morning about 9 o'clock,
three mites from the farm of Jo
seph Feifarek in the town of Rose
land. The machine was being
moved and Jakoubek was sitting on
the pole of the separator, directly
under the self feeder attachment,
when the king bolt of the front
axle broke, letting the entire
weight of the front part of the ma
chine down on the unfortunate
man. It caught him between the
shoulders and pinned him down so
fast that it was only with conisder
able difficulty that he was released.
He was at once taken to the farm
home of Mr. Feiafrek and a physi
cian summoned from here. The
doctor's examination revealed that
the man's back was broken a little
below the neck, rendering him
paralyzed from that place down.
At the present writing there is little
hope of his recovery, altho a tele
phone message this morning said
that he was resting a little easier.
A telegram was sent from here
yesterday afternoon to a Wm. Fin
ger at Oconto, Wis., announcing
his injuries and serious condition
Anotheu telegram was sent to the
same place this morning to his
wife, asking her to come.
Jakoubek came to this county
from the woods in the northern part
of this state and Wicsonsin, and he
intended to remain here until the
threshing season was over, then re
turn to the lumber camps. Besides
a wife, he is said to have four chil
dren, a fact which renders the sad
accident even sadder. It is also
said that he is a beneficiary in
some lodge in which he carries an
insurance of $1000.
Dislocated Neck*
While sharpening the knives of
the H«rty«tters in the self feedai of
a separator last Sunday evening,
Gust Anderson, an employe on the
Sonderson-Bratberg machine, lost
his balance and fell down,striking on
his neck and dislocating one of his
vertebrae. A physician was at
once summoned and he found the
poor man completely paralyzed
from the shoulders down. A tele
phone message this morning stated
that his condition is very critical
and that there is very little hope of
his recovery.
Anderson is a widower, about
56 years old, and has a son in an
orphans home. He is a brother of
Mrs. A. T. Holm, who lives near
Lake Florida.
Clothing Was Appreciated.
A letter has been received here
from Rev. C. P. Bates of Hibbing,
stating that the Relief Commission
had received the supply of clothing
sent from here to aid the unfortu
nate people who lost everything in
the fire which recently swept over
the ranges. The letter further
states that the recipients were very
much delighted with the supplies,
and that they wished to express
their heartfelt thanks to the donors.
The appeal made to the citizens
of Willmar for clothing was most
generously responded to and as a
result no less than 1500 pounds of
it was packed and boxed by the
Campbell Furniture Co. and sent to
the scene of the disastrous conflag
ration.
A Stranger In Trouble.
A stranger giving his name as
Frank Peterson caused quite an ex
citement at the Minneapolis lodg
ing house Monday evening. Every
body had gone to bed and all were
trying to forget all about their
troubles when suddenly they were
disturbed by some hair raising yells
and screams emitted from Peter
sons' quarters. It sounded as if
someone was being murdered, and
A. C. Crawford, the acting night
patrolman, was at once notified to
appear. He did so, and after look
ing around in the dark for some
time found Peterson apparently
suffering in great agony* A phy
sician was sent for and he diagnosed
the case as a severe attack of the
quinsy. The man was made as
comfortable as possible until yester
day, when he was given a ticket
and put aboard the train bound for
St. Cloud. Peterson said he came
here from North Dakota, where he
had been threshing during the past
three weeks. He gave Minneapolis
as his home and said that his par
ents lived at Akely.

Opens New Enterprise.
H. B. Lidstone, G. N. time keep
er, will open his Model Pantorium
next Monday morning in the quar
ters formerly occupied by the Wis
consin Grain company at 435 Paci
fic avenue. E. N. Ping of Des
Moines, Iowa, will manage the new
enterprise, and as he has conducted
similar enterprises in Des Moines
and Chicago he is in a position to
make the Model a success in every
way. Besides doing ordinary clean
ing and pressing, the new concern
solicits members whose wearing ap
parel they keep in first class condi
tion and whose shoes they shine
every day, all for two dollars per
month. Already no less than 43
members have been secured, and
with a hustler like Mr. Lidstone at
the head of it the membership will
no doubt soon be considerably in
creased.
Every first class city supports one
or more of these Pantoriums and
the establishment of the "Model"
here is only another proof that
Willmar is becoming more and
more cosmopolitan in its character.
The Tribune welcomes the new en
terprise and hopes that it will pros*

day night of last week. They
gained entrance into the first two
by smashing the window panes, but
when they came to the third they
changed their method of attack and
broke the lock. Once inside they
helped themsevles to everything in
sight, from coffee, sugar and bacon
to knives, forks and rubber coats.
Then they built a nice big bonfire
and roasted nice small game, after
which, like all good people, they
went to bed. When the environ
ment grew tedious they hitched up
a team which they had with them
and went away. They didn't say
they had enjoyed the visit, nor that
they were sorry they couldn't stay
longer they didn't even register,
so they could be invited to come
again. They didn't leave anything
either, except a number of ducks'
bones and wings scattered all
around the place where the bonfire
had been.

FEU FROM TOP
OFMOVINGTRAIN
Jack Carney Meets with AccMeat
While Returning Froma Pil
grimage to Raymond.
John Carney, familiarly known
as "Jack," came within an ace of
being killed last Saturday evening
about 9 o'clock. He was returning
from Raymond and feeling the need
of a little bracing air he settled on
top of a freight car. That is about
all Jack remembers for the sand
man gotiiim, and when he awoke
he wasn't in Willmar at all,
butRedwood
found himself lying beside the
tracks, with a severe pain in his
back. Or rather a tramp, who
proved to be a good Samaritan,
found him while verifying the
mileage between here and Ray
mond. That was about 9 o'clock
in the morning, 12 hours after Jack
had fallen from his elevated posi
tion. The tramp notified the sec
tion men, and a telephone message
was sent to "Red Cross" Sheriff
Bonde, who at once set out with an
automobile ambulance and took the
unfortunate man to his home on
Eighth street N. in this city. A
physician was summoned and he
found that Jack's back was strained
and his shoulders bruised. He had
evidently struck on the back of his
neck and shoulders. How he es
caped death no one knows, but he
did and at the present time he is
resting very comfortably. The
next time Jack goes to Raymond he
will stay at home or at any rate he
will try to get home on the noon
train.
