FATAL ACCIDENT
ON STREET
Run-Away Team Causes Death
of John Johnson of
Thorpe.
John Johnson, wellknown as but
ter maker at Thorpe creamery in
East Lake Lillian, was killed by a
run-away team at Willmar yester
day evening (Tuesday) at 5:30 o'
clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson came in by
auto yesterday noon, 25 miles
from Thorpe. Peder S. Aspaas and
son, David, of West Lake Lillian,
had a ride with them to town. Af
ter transacting their business they
were starting for home. When pas
sing Swillens hotel on Pacific Avenue
near the corner of Eighth Street,
they stopped to talk with a daugh
ter of Mr. Aspaas who was passing
on the sidewalk. The power ran low
and the engine stopped. Mr. John
son stepped off to crank the machine
and was just about to re-enter the
auto when a run-away team came
down Eighth Street and turned into
Pacific Avenue apparently headed
straight for the auto. Mr. Johnson
attemped to stop them, grabbing
the bits of both horses and holding
on tight. He was struck a fearful
blow by the end of the wagon tongue
and was thrown over to the other
end of the street. Accounts differ
as to whether or not the horses
stepped on him or the wagon touched
him. One eyewitness said he was
thrown to the side after being
struck. The injured man tottered
to his feet, picked up his hat and
crossed the street when he fell dead.
Dr. Frost was available and was on
the scene within a few minutes, and
Dr. Foshager, deputy coroner, was
on the scene in a very short time,
but neither could do anything but
certify to the death of Mr. Johnson.
The body was taken to Andrew Pe
terson's undertaking parlors.
The run-away team was owned by
Ehas Kallevig, who lives north of
the lake. They were standing at the
creamery on the west side, while the
driver was loading butter milk, when
they became frightened and started
to run. Mr. Johnson's auto was not
damaged when the team swerved by
except one fender. After striking
Mr. Johnson, the team ran up Pacific
Avenue. The tongue of the wagon
dropped out of the neck-yoke and
the end was broken off The horses
were stopped near the Merchants
Hotel in the railroad park. Both had
sustained cuts on their feet, but were
not disabled.
Mrs. Emil Linn of this city is a
sister of Mrs. Johnson, the stricken
wife, and accompanied her to her
home at Thorpe last night. The re
mains will be taken to the home to
day, but at this writing the time for
the funeral has not been arranged.
Mr. Johnson was a man in the
prime of life and was a native of
Gagnef parish, Dalarne, Sweden. He
was highly thought of by all who
knew him, and he is well known in
the southeast portion of the county.
His sudden death was a great shock
to the community and the bereaved
ones have the profound sympathy of
all in their sorrow.

WILLMAB, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1913
The rains which drenched the
roads last week until Thursday
morning materially cut down the at
tendance at the State Convantioa
of Elks at Willmar. Out of fourteen
cars which left the Twin Citias for
Willmar by way of St. Cloud, where
the cornerstone for a new home for
the St. Cloud Elks was laid on Wed
nesday, nine returned and only five
continued on to Willmar in the face
of the threatening weather aspects
at that time. The same is true of
many visitors who were expected by
auto from Rochester, Brainerd and
other places. The local committees
had done their best to prepare for
the convention and were in shape to
have accomodated more than double
the number that came.
At the business session which oc
curred at 7:30 Wednesday evening,
J. J. Hillbe, of St. Cloud, was elec
ter president R. F. Eldridge, St.
Paul, (re-elected) and Henry M.
Lawrence, Minneapolis, treasurer
Little Falls was chosen for the
1914 meeting, to be held in June in
stead of August, at a date to be de
termined by the president and the
convention city lodge.
It was resolved to held a two
days' convention next year instead
of three. A committee, consisting
of J. C. Nathaway, Stillwater, W.
W. Koons, St. Paul and R. J. An
gus, Fergus Falls, was appointed to
revise the by-laws and constitution
and report to next convention.

The sum of $100 was appropria
ted as a contingent fund to be used
by the officers in endeavoring to get
all state lodges to join the associa
ation. A proposition to select a per
manent place for the state conven
tions was presented and will be con
sidered at the next session.
The retiring president, Dr. H. P.
Rawson of Minneapolis suggested
several changes, in his annual ad
dress, recommending a more uniform
per capita tax on all lodges and an
earlier date for the state convention.
His recommendations were referred
to a committee.
On Thursday morning the dele
gates were given a ride over the
State road to Green Lake and back.
The auto train made the trip without
accident, and the visitors were taken
to Assembly Park for a picnic lunch.
Thursday afternoon the baseball
tournament for the State champion
ship oij Elks Clubs began with a
game between Minneapolis and St.
Paul. It was easily won by Saint
Paul by\a score of 4 to 14. The fol
lowing sjore by innings tells the tale:
St. PaulV- 2 3 0 0 0 4 2 4 x—14
Mpls.— 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 2 0 4
In the aeld meet a tug of war be
tween Montevideo and St. Paul re
sulted in tue victory of the former.
The relaV race around bases was
won by thelWillmar team against St.
Paul. The Willmar line up was Ar
chie Carlsoif, Adams, Bob Johnson
and McGr^w. St. Paul Elks' run
ners were'Geer, Waltersdorf, Pearl
man and LaBossiere.
Throwing baseball for distance
was wtfn by Geer of St. Paul, first
Bob J6hnson of Willmar, second.
On the first throw these two were
even./ In throwing off the tie, Geer
won Jby three feet.
Tjie Elks barbecue was attended
by ja, large crowd at the Assembly
Pa*k, Thursday night, by both men
anil women. The pressure against
making it an exclusive stag affair
Was too great and the convention
decided everybody might join the
feast. The roasted ox lay on a table
ui center of eating pavilion "and four
[men carved the meat which was ser
ved on plates. Owing to a mishap
thru which the ox fell into the fire,
there was a strong odor of burned
meat, but that only added to the nov

Monday for a visit with friends in
Minneapolis and Marine Mills. She,
will also attend ,,the Luther Leagues m^ai mat only added to the nov
state contention held at Cannon] elty of the occasion. The eating
Falls this week, _„-* u..T... •%£. Uqase is built on the foundations of
a former brewery, and the refresh
ments served with the roast ox were
rather more in keeping with the an
eient traditions of the grounds than
of the present. The feast continued
for three hours.
The party then repaired to the
park auditorium where dancing was
indulged in. The magician, Mr. C.
F. Way, of the Minneapolis lodge,
pulled off a lot of funny stunts such
$s pulverizing Hugh Ruddy's watch
^nd returning same unharmed, caus
ing S. L. Rathophel to blush by
fransforming his handkerchief into
In article of wearing apparel, etc.
The Elks toast was given at eleven
o'clock by Dr. Roberts of Minneap
olis. Musical numbers were given
by the ladies' quartet—Misses San
derson, Hicks, Larson and Sather.
Dick Angus of Fergus Falls started
to sing a Scotch song when the lights
went out. After an electrician had
been located and he in turn located
the wire trouble the crowd had thin
ned out materially. Dancing was
continued at the headquarters in the
Bonde Hall down town.
Friday was a big day for the base
ball fans. In the forenoon the St.
Cloud and St. Paul Elks teams
fought for the state championship,
which was won by St. Cloud team
by a score of 3 to 5. In the after
noon the winners (St. Cloud) play
ed the local Willmar nine for a div
ision of the gate receipts. On Wed
nesday the Willmar club had defeat
ed St. Cloud by a score of 2 to 0, and
a good contest was expected at this
ROASTING THE OX FOR THE ELKS BARBECUE
finish game. The fans were not dis
appointed. The St. Cloud team won
out by a score of 4 to 2.
The local committee did them
selves proud in the entertainment of
the visitors, and their efforts were
appreciated. The musical numbers
furnished by the ladies of Willmar
were splendid, and caused much fav
orable comment.
The daily concerts by the Willmar
Military band added much to the
festivity of the occasion. The boys
are in good form and were liberal
with their selections. Willmar
should take pride in its band, and
the way that the people of the city
thronged the streets during the eve
ning concerts indicated that they en
joyed the music.
The Elks convention gave Willmar
a lot of good advertising. The city
dailies used considerable space in
reporting the same. Edwin C. Tor
ry, northwest editor of the Minneap
olis Journal was here and furnished
staff correspondence which contain
ed many good words for Willmar.
The badges provided will make
handsome souvenirs of the gathering
for all participants. A, reproduction
of Willmar's booster design, "Will
mar Will Win," appeared in raised
lines on the bronze portion of the
badge.

NOTES ABOUT
COMING FAIR
Features Being Provided for
Kandiyohi County Fair.
Sept. 17-20.
The Willmar Military band has
been secured for giving music after
noons and evenings at the County
Fair. The boys are in good shape
and fine fettle and will give stirring
music.
The Great Western Carnival com
pany will furnish the ferris wheel,
merry-go-round and carnival attrac
tions. These are features that some
people object to, but which a far
larger number insist upon. The con
stant motion, music and noise fur
nishes an element that seems insep
arable from a successful fair, and
until a more acceptable substitute
is provided the carnival company
will hold its place at these gather
ings.
A display of Pain's fireworks will
be given every evening of the fair in
connection with a grand illumination
and water carnival led by a repro
duction of Perry's flagship, the
"Niagara." Among the fireworks
will be a number of new aquatic
novelties, designed by the Pain peo
ple to be fired in the water.
It is planned that every afternoon
some scene from local Indian history
will be enacted on the flat below the
auditorium. Nobody is going to sleep
at the 1913 Kandiyohi County Fair.
The free vaudeville features of the
fair* will include two first-class
troupes from the Orpheum circuit—
The Kronemann Bros., comedy acro
bats, and the Two Engfords, said to
be the most skillful of all equili
brists on the road. These acts will
take place on a high platform in
the park.
Two horse-racing programs will be
given on Thursday and Friday af
ternoons on the race track j&n^the
old fairgrounds west of the city.
There will be three events each day,
Four races are for county horses,
and two are free-for-all. An admis
sion fee of 25c will be charged to
see the races each day.
The eating pavilion will be under
the management of the Willmar An
ti-Tuberculosis Society or Red
Cross, and will be run in first class
shape by Committees of members of
this society. Many fair patrons will
appreciate the chance to get meals
on the grounds and especially when
by so doing they will help support
worthy cause. Further announce
ments will be made before the fair
opens.
The Chamberlain Company has
the contract for decorating the fair
buildings and streets leading to the
fair grounds and the public squares
down town. They will also decorate
any business block or store desiring
their services. This will insure that
our town will have a festive appear
ance, equalled at no previous fair
here. This company furnishes the
flags and decorations at the State
Tallakson-Midthun.
Rev. Selmer Tallakson, a former
Kandiyohi resident, and Miss Clara
Midthun of Twin Valley were united
in marriage on Sunday, Aug. 24, at
the bride's home. Rev. and Mrs. Tal
lakson will make their home at Ro
seau, Minn., where the groom is the
pastor of the Synod Luth. church.
Mrs. Tallakson and son Norman of

THE
FARMER'S
BANK BALANCE
The farmer's bank
balance is money await
ing his use in the bank
instead of in a wallet
Hecan 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.v
Farmers, keep your
balance at the
