*\, 3 CAUGHT BETWEEN THE BUMPERS J- Thomas Dougherty Meets With Serious Accident at Cokato Last Monday. Tom Dougherty, a conductor on the Great Northern met with a serious ac cident Monday morning at Cokato. While doing some switching Mr. Dougherty stepped in between two cars and pulled a pin, the train pulled up and thinking that it was going to pull up further he stepped in between the couplings, intending to go thru and at the same moment the train stopped and when the air was applied the slack in the cars went back and caught him about the hips. Mr. Dougherty's condition is very serious Today's issue of the Litchfield Inde pendent gives the following partic ulars of this sad accident: Last Mon day afternoon Tom Dougherty, a great Northern freight brakeman, was badly hurt at Cokato while on his run from Willmar to the cities. He is a son-in-law of Mr and Mrs Weis of this city, having married a daughter recently. It seems that the victim was un coupling cars, and had drawn the pin and the engineer had pulled ahead enough to separate the cars Dough erty stepped to the center of the track at the same moment the cars came together, catching him between the bumpers He was badly crushed over the hip and lower part of his body He was taken to the hospital at Montrose, where he was still alive yesterday, but not much hope was held out that he would recover. Rev Fr. Boland was called from this city shortly after the accident and went down on the afternoon train to minis ter to him He returned yesterday noon, but thought the young man's chance for recovery was slim. —Mr and Mrs. J.

OLD SETTLERS IN**i&*w* ANNUAUIE-UNION A Pleasant Time Was Had By Pioneers at Willmar The Seventeenth Annual re-union of the Kandiyohi County Old Settlers' Association at Willmar yesterday proved an enjoyable event. Beauti ful weather blessed the occasion, but wet roads from the continuous rains prevented many from coming from outlying parts of the county. The forenoon business session was held at the court house. President J. G. Freeberg presiding. Reports of officers were read. The following of ficers were elected for the ensuing year: E. M. Stanford, president Ole R. Sletten, first vice president Zakarias Jones, second vice presi dent A. O. Forsberg, secretary C. W. Odell, treasurer. The committee on memorial report ed a recommendation that a popular subscription be taken in every pre- J. G. FREEBERG President of Kandiyohi County Old Settlers' Association, Who Pre sided at Yesterday's Sessions. cinct of the county beginning next November for the purpose of raising necessary funds for erecting a mem orial commemorating the pioneers of the county in the courthouse yard. This project has been talked of two years with no definite results The old settlers are a unit, however, in favor of the proposition. It was brot out in the discussion that the school children of the county might be in duced to assist in the work. At the close of the session the members were taken to Assembly Park by autos, where dinner was served. The dinner was very credit able under the direction of Mrs. Jas. Sanderson and Sheriff Peter Bonde, and the guests did ample justice to' the repast. The afternoon's program began with instrumental music by a boy's orchestra. The invocation was pro nounced by Rev. Ostling. The old settlers were bid welcome by Judge T. O. Gilbert, President of the Will mar Commercial Club in a neat little speech. President Freeberg respond ed in behalf of the association. He said: Fellow Citizens and Friends: In be half of the Old Settler's Association of Kandiyohi County, I most heartily thank the good citizens of Willmar for again giving us an invitation to come here, that we might hold this Seventeenth Annual Meeting at the beautiful Chautauqua park and audi torium. I assure you, fellow citizens, that as long as any of the members of this Association are living, they will have a warm spot in their hearts for the kind people of this city for the good will and hospitality they have shown and for the comfort given the old set tlers on this day I am not able to speak of the very early pioneers of this county, not having been a resident here at that time. I arrived at Castle Garden, New York, 1868, on the 5th of July. On the 15th of the same month I landed in Boone county, Iowa. The grasshoppers had consumed nearly all the crops on the Des Moines river valley for two years. People from northern Europe, mostly Swedes, had made their home in the valley, some for fifteen years. There was no new style in dress or living, and no one had heard of the speed limit. From what I learn the grass hopper ravages there compared with the destruction of the crops in this county ni 1875 and 1876, 1878. When I came to the county, marks could be seen on the small Cottonwood trees from the work of the grasshopper. Now a few words to the younger people, born and raised within the border of their county. When you pass judgment on the early farmers and men in business go slow. Take a good hold of your think ing cap and consider at what cost these people came here from highly civilized countries of Europe. Many came here with their families, some had large and some smaller fortunes, with them but by far the larger num ber had only the cash value they pos- sessed In their strong arms and will ing hands and these people have done things. These people came here for the purpose of making a home for them selves and their families in this coun try, then a wilderness, and stayed here, worked up farms, building school houses and churches. Roads were also given some attention. I think at least, some of you will agree with me, that we live in as beautiful and good a county as there is in the great state of Minnesota. You tell us old fellows some times, that we are too slow to catch up with the modern condition of life and do not even keep speed with the latest time table on the modern education and its branches. Maybe we are a little slow. All of us have come to this county and state to better our conditions for ourselves and families, wherever we came. The land was new and the language was new to some of us. When you leave the home of your mother, to get away and see this great world, you will most likely make a promise to write her at the earliest date. Do not forget this. Write often. Can you ever think of all she has done for you? How she loves you, how she with tears, in her eyes, waits and waits to hear from you, her dear son or daughter? Again I say, write to your mother and do not forget the language of your mother. The Mission choir under direction of Rev. A. J. Ostling then sang "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Just Be fore the Battle Mother." The singing of old familiar songs by this fine choir was one of the great features of the convention and was thoroly ap preciated by the old settlers. Secretary Forsberg read the mem orial address, giving brief biographies of members who have departed this life during the year. More music by the boy's orchestra was followed by the reading of a pa per by the editor. The Mission choir sang "Marching Through Georgia" and "America." the audience rising and joining in the lat ter. The orator of the day, Hon. M. J. Dowling of Olivia, then appeared and gave a splendid address which brot back to the pioneers, especially the prairie pioneer, the incidents of early life very vividly. He spoke with feel ing and in his own inimitable 'hum orous way for a time which seemed short to his hearers but really was long. "Mike" had warmed up to his subject and had his audience with him and he held the audience to the last. The closing number was "Auld Lang Syne," sung by the audience, Mrs. A. N. Lewis playing the accom paniment on the piano. The crowd had been augmented by fresh arrivals during the program so that there was more people there than at the close of dinner. The an nual picture was taken by M. Simons, the photographer, with his swinging camera and will prove one of the best taken. The annual group pictures of the association will no doubt prove a most valuable part of the archives of the association. The members dispersed to their various homes apparently well pleas ed with the day.

Brewery Agent Caught Recently a wholesale brewery ag ency located in a shack on wheels was brought over the Meeker county line and located in a grove rented from Fred Upheber in Harrison. The place was run by Peter O. Hawkin son, who had given considerable trou ble to various Meeker county town ships. He believed he could oper ate such a place in any town where no express vote has been taken. His appearance in Harrison where he placed a stock of one carload of Hamn's beer in a dugout was the cause of much consternation in the neighborhood. The old records were examined and it was found that the town voted no-license in 1874.* Sher iff Bonde went out and after securing a number of proofs of sale, arrested the man, and brought him in to Will mar. On arraignment he waived ex amination and was bound over to the grand jury. He furnished a $200 cash bond, and promised to remove all liquor and empties from Kandiyohi county at once. The authorities hold a large number of cases over his head in case he should attempt to remain in the county. Flygare-Engvall.
