DRAGGED TO
HIS DEATH
Victor Aim is Killed Last Friday
on the Oslie Farm in Town
of Edwards.
The John Aim home at 722 Sixth
street in this city is in a deep gloom
of sorrow caused by the sudden
death of the bright son Victor, 18
years old, which occurred in an ac
cident on the Ole P. Oslie farm in
Edwards township last Friday noon.
Victor had just finished a two
months' term of service on the farm,
but had remained for a few days to
help out during the threshing. When
the machine closed down for dinner
Victor unhitched a team of horses
and mounted one of the horses to
ride to the home. The horse sud
denly shied and threw the boy. Un
luckily the lad's foot caught in the
harness and he was dragged a dis
tance of 200 feet through a grove and
up against a pile of lumber, where
the limp body was found by the hor
rified witnesses to the accident." The
neck was broken. There were signs
of life which continued for an hour
and a half, but Dr. McMahon, who
had been summoned from Raymond
could do nothing but certify to the
death of the boy. The body was
taken in an auto to the home in this
city by Ole P. and Oscar Oslie.
Victor Aim was born at Willmar
Oct. 16, 1895. He was a good boy,
and the especial pride of his parents.
He had finished the eighth grade, had
taken the farmers' short course of
the Willmar schools and had plan
ned on entering the high school this
fall. Ole P. Oslie was an old friend
of the family and had given the boys
employment on the farm during their
vacations. The Oslies are as grief
?trieken over the terrible event as if
the victim had been one of their own
family. The deceased is bitterly
mourned by his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Aim, and three brothers,
Ben Aim of Hudson, Wis. Emil Aim
of Brown's Valley and Alfred Aim
of DeGraff. AH the brothers, were at
home for the funeral*which occurred
Sunday afternoon. Brief services
were held at the home at two o'clock.
At 2:30 the sad procession filed its
way to the Swedish Methodist
church where words of spiritual
comfort were spoken by the pastor,
Rev. Theo. Livingstone. Mr. Erick
Glad sang "One Sweet Solemn
Thought." The pall bearers were
Einar and George Brogren, Enock
Hoglund and Frank Sather. Pro
fuse floral offerings covered the
casket diffusing with their perfumes
the sympathy* of many friends. The
interment took place at the Fairview
cemetery.
Mission Festival at Assembly Park.
The Norwegian Lutheran Synod
churches of Willmar and Solomon
Lake will celebrate their annual
mission festival at the Park Assem
bly auditorium next Sunday. Rev.
S. J. N. Ylvisaker will speak in Nor

CENTRAL LIFE AGENTS
ENJOY GREEN LAKE
State Insurance Commissioner Preus
Made an Address Before Them
Last Week.
The annual outing of the Central
Life Agents' Association was held
Thursday and Friday of last week
and proved, as last year, a most en
joyable occasion for those who par
took. Most of the Minnesota agen
cy's, men were in attendance. After
a reception at Superintendent Bran
ton's office at 2 o'clock Thursday,
the party was taken by auto to
Crescent Beach where they enjoyed
a short stay and a treat at the Bran
ton cottage. At Mr. J. M. Spicer's
invitation they visited the Medayto
Farm and were given the freedom of
the place, which liberty they all en
joyed, and not least in the big berry
patches. The Spicers have made
many new additions and alterations
to their home including the entire re
modeling of the house, which is now
built on the English order, has stuc
co walls and is very artistic and in
teresting, both within and without.
A pagoda has been built on the shore
of the lake and when all is ready AVIII
be a beautiful place indeed.
The party next boarded their au
tomobiles for Hotel Teepeetonka,
where they enjoyed a dinner. A
short address was given by Mr. Ev
erett of Des Moines, la., secretary of
the Company, and remarks were
made by several of the agents, Supt.
Branton acting as toastmaster.
The following day the agents as

a business session was held Offi

Returns from Norway.
Mr. Charles Olson, who lately pur
chased the farm belonging to Mrs.
Carl Nelson east of Eagle Lake,
coming with his family from Selby,
S. D., and locating there last March,
returned from his trip to Norway
last Monday. Mr. Olson left in com
pany with Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Ras
muson of this city on May 20,. sail
ing on the "Olympic" for their old
home in Norway. Mr. .Olson reports
a most delightful trip. At Aalesund
he visited his childhood home, where
his mother still resides, and who has
reached the age of 78 years. He
also visited at Bergen and other
points. This was Mr. Olson's first
trip to the old country, after an ab
sence of 27 years. On his return he
sailed on the "Franeonia." Mr. Ol
son reports that Mr. Rasmusson has
made no definite plans as to when
he will return home.
Fans Were Disappointed..
The Willmar base ball team and
company of fans, about 175 in all,
boarded the special train to Benson
last Sunday afternoon. More peo
ple joined the excursion at each sta
tion so there were 343 passengers
on board when the train reached
Benson. There was no game on ac
count of the rain which began at
three and continued during the en
tire afternoon. The lightning struck
a church and the courthouse, and
the fire at the former furnished some
little excitement to the disappointed
fans, some of whom took a hand in
the fighting of the flames.
Church Struck by Lightning.
The spire of the Swedish Lutheran
church at Benson was struck by
lightning last Sunday afternoon, and
a fire was started. Before the fire
department could put out the flames
the steeple was consumed and the
front part of the church was badly
damaged. The loss has been esti
mated to exceed a thousand dollars.
The Swift County courthouse tower
was also struck, demolishing some
windows and doing minor damage.

FARM BUILDINGS
AREJURNED
Matin Place North of Atwaler
Visited by Mysterious
The farm place owned by Mrs.
Caroline Mahn in Sec. 36, Town of
Harrison, (the old Geo. Feig home
stead), about one mile north of At
water, was visited by a fire Saturday
night and the barn, a machine shed
filled with machinery, corn crib and
other buildings were burned down,
causing a loss of at least $2^500.
The house was in the line of the fire,
but a dense growth of trees in front
of same seemed to have protected it.
Reports vary as to when the fire
occurred. Parties at Atwater claim
that they saw it at midnight, but
thought that it was a straw-stack
that was burning. Others saw the
blaze at four in the morning. No one
was at home on the place on that
night. The family was at another
farm owned by them at the time, and
did not know of the fire until about
seven o'clock in the morning.. In
the road to Atwater the tracks of
two men led to the place and hack,
the rain the evening before making
it easy to notice same. It is thought
that a couple of tramps might have
gone out and slept there and been
careless with matches. There was
no lightning during the late night,
so it is unlikely that the fire came
from that source.
The burned barn was a structure
40x60" and contained about twenty
tons of hay and a quantity of old
oats. The shed contained' a large
corn shredder, a grain binder, corn
binder, drill, etc.
Secretary Swan Nelson of the
Willmar Mutual Farmers Insurance
Company visited the scene of the
fire Monday and adjusted the loss.
The company pays $1,514:40, the
full amount carried on the consumed
property.
Gives Entire Estate to One.
Although she left a family of a
husban^d and ^ine^^hlldren scattered
throughout five states, Mrs. Almeda
A. Watkins, who. died Dec. 24, 1912,

ington, forgot to mention any of
them in her will except one, Harvey
Watkins of Virginia, Minn., accord
ing to a news item in the Duluth
Herald. She left him her entire es
tate, according to the purported will
which he filed with the clerk of the
probate court.
The estate consists of property in
St. Louis county, Minn. Marion
county, Fla. and in Washington.
Among the children forgotten is
Clara Spaeth of Raymond. The pur
ported will was executed on the day
before Mrs. Watkins' death.

THE
FARMER'S
BANK BALANCE
The farmer's bank
balance is money await
ing^his use in the bank
instead of in a wallet.
He can do morewith
his bank balance than
with wallet-money. He
can pay out money
miles away without
leaving the farm, by
sending a check. He
can have safety for his
money while wallet
money is always in dan
ger. His bank balance
is creating an obliga
tion on the part of the
bank to help him when
he needs help. If he
isn't going to need his
balance right away, it
can earn more for him
until he wants it. -**.
