California Fruit Man Here.
Rev. O. H. Mvhren, of Kingsburg,
California, is here with a carload of
dried fruit, which he is disposing of
in wholesale quantities. The dried
fruit he sells is in the condition as
it leaves the grower, dried as hard
as bone, and not steamed as some
jobbers are known to do in order to
increase the weight of dried fruit.
Mi. Myhren has been here with ship
ments in previous years which have
given the best of satisfaction. This
fruit is grown by the Swedish Col
ony at Kingsburg, many members of
which hail from Kandiyohi county.

Otos.is Recovering.
Harry Otos, whose serious accident
was mentioned in our last issue, has
withstood the shock of the accident
and operation and seems to be im
proving. It was only thru his own
presence of mind and stronsr will that
he was able to escape death in the
first place at the time of the accident
and then after it occurred.
The lever which operates the coup
ling pin was broken on the car and
he stepped in between the cars to
pull the pin. His foot caught be
tween the guard rail and the main
rail, the space between the two not
having been filled 'as required by the
law. By quickly throwing himself
backward he escaped instant death,
but the injury he received was a
frightful one. The victim never lost
his nerve, but directed his comrades
how to hurry him to the hospital.
Passing the superintendent's office,
he waved his hand to the boys there.
It was found necessary to amputate
the leg near the hip. It was a very
serious case and there was some
question whether he would pull thru,
but he rallied nicely and appears now
to be on the road to recovery.
