Exciting Runaway
Yesterday (Wednesday) morning,
as Judge Wall and his farm hand,
Frank Januelwicz. were starting from
tiie residence for the farm with the
manure spreader to which was at
tached three of the judge’s horses,
they became frightened at the noise
of the cogs of the spreader and ran
away. They headed for Jenner’s
Park and from there swung around
through town down to the residence
of Mrs. O. Odendahl, thence west
around the J. T. Hale place and back
to the E. G. Taylor residence, where
they were stopped, witli no damage
save the breaking of a few cogs in the
spreader. From the start, Frank
held to the lines like grim death to a
dead nigger, so to speak, and was there
with the goods at the finish. It was
one of the most exciting runaways
occurring for many moons.

The joke is rather on Postoffice Can

he said McNulty was circulating a pe

remonstrance against the appoint
ment of Beushausen and liberally
signed by democrats, Mr. Zimmerman
having no part in it, nor even men
tioned therein.
Dr. D. A. Deeper received on Mon
day of this week a neat little 4 cylin

fortunate in the possession of it and
can now enjoy life anew.

Don’t forget the Farmers’ Insti
tute to be iiolden in Loup City on

tute coming under the auspices of
the extension department of the
University of Nebraska and the
local farmers’ institute organization.
We last week published the program
in full, with the prizes offered for
best products of the farm, and should
appeal to every one interested in the
upbuilding of the farming and busi
ness of our county. L. W. Leonard
of Pawnee City, who is thorouhly in
toudh with the best interests of the
farmers, will be here and deliver
lectures along different lines of in
terest. Miss Louise Sabin will have
charge of the ladies’ department of
the institute, and she is a woman
who has heart and soul engaged in
her work, and withal is a talented,
energetic worker, with addition of
eloquence to command undivided at
tention on her subjects. We trust
our people of all classes will advertise
these sessions of the farmers meet
ings, not only by word of mouth, but
by attendance on the same. The
Commer iai Club is also behind the
farmers and is doing what it can to
build up interest and carry the ses
sions forward to success.
IIapp?nipg into the up-to-date I
iarness emporium of James Bartunek
ast evening to see iiow Friend Bar
junck sucked up as a bran new
grandpa. We were surprised to see
bliat lie was not only a happy grand
lad, but also had the finest and most
up-to-date line of leather goods ever
in the city. In fact Jim’s reputation
along these lines is so eitensive that
by his books we see that he has had
orders from so far away as Minnesota.
Idaho and other states, while his
books show orders from Ord, Broken
Bow and all surrounding towns. Jim
makes his own harnesses, and makes
first class ones, too, and when one
buys his make and needs more he is
sure to go to him again. By the way,
when Jim will oil a harness up in
good shape for $1, it is shere waste of
time and getting your hands and
clothes all over oil in doing it your
self.

Charley Sundstrom
Killed by Explosion
of Locomotive
Former Rockville Boy Killed at
Edgemont, S. D., Last Sat
urday Morning
Funeral at Rockville Yesterday,
Last, Saturday, Mrs. Ida M. Ogle of
Austin received a telegram with the
fearful news of the death of her
sister's husband, Charles Sundstrom,
while brakeman on a Burlington
freight train, near Edgemont, S. I).,
about noon that day. The accident
was caused by the explosion of the
engine of the freight train on which
he was brakeing, and also caused the
death of the engineer and fireman of
the same train. Charles Sundstrom
was formerly a Rockville boy, and at
the time of his death was living at
Alliance and working for the Burling
ton. Mrs. Sundstrom is a sister of
Mrs. Ida M. Ogle of Austin and Mrs.
Della Keeler, now of Big Creek,
Cherry county, while Mr. Sundstrom
was a brother of Mrs. Homer Ilultzof
this city and has a number of rela
tives now living at Rockville. The
Daily Bee of Sunday morning con
tained the following account of the
horrible accident under date of Feb.
loth, from Edgemont:
Three Burlington trainmen whose
homes are at Alliance, Neb., were
instantly killed at noon today, when
the boiler of a freight engine exploded
near Provo, the first siding east of
here. The train was westbound and
running less than fifteen miles an
hour when the accident happened.
The dead:
Engineer S. t. Johnson.
Fireman George Wheeler.
Brakeman Charles Sundsthom.
Tlie body of the engineer was blown
into an adjoining field, the fireman
was caught in the coal tender and the
brakeman’s body was unrecognizable.
All have been brought here awaiting
action of the coroner.
Tne train carried sixty-five loads
and was within thirteen miles of the
end of the division when the accident
occurred. The engine was of the com
pound mallet type and one of the
most powerful now in use. No dam
age was done to the train and the
engine trucks did not leave the rails,
but the force of the explosion sent
the mammoth boiler entirely beyond
the right-of-way.
Superintendent WeidenhMmer and
motive power experts from Alliance
are on the scene and the wreckage is
left scattered over the ground with
out being touched until a careful
search for the cause is concluded.
Later—The cause of the accident
was low water in the boiler, as shown
by inspection immediately after the
explosion.
The body was brought to Rockville
Monday from Alliance, accompanied
by three trainmen and the funeral
was had at 3 o’clock Wednesday after
noon at tiie Rockville schoolheuse,
Rev. J. C. Tourtellot of Loup City
officiating, interment being made in
the Boelus cemetery.
Deceased, Lewis Charles Sundstrom,
was born in Howard county, this
state, Feb. 23, 1885, and at time of
death was 27 years, 11 months and 23
days old. He was married Oct. 17,
1905, to Miss Eva Blanche Carpenter
of Austin, Neb., and to this union
were born two sons, Vernon, aged 5
years, and Floyd, aged 3 years, who
with the wife, are left to mourn the
loss of a kind husband and indulgent
father.
Above are the few facts gleaned in
regard to deceased at this time, but
f-»11 obituary will be given later, if
furnished us for publication. The
Northwestern, with the many friends
of deceased and family, will deeply
sympathize with the bereaved wife
and iittle ones over the awful
calamity which has so suddenly come
upon them.
