dollars then remarking them at one-half the inflated value we simply take all the odds and ends and small lots
and make an honest reduction of one-half the regular selling prict, regardless of the cost and defy any one to

' Boy Meet Horrible Death.
HUMBOLDT. Neb,, Jan, 18. (Speclal.)
Jultua Lutholts, a well known German
farmer residing near the Kansas state
line, twelve miles south of this city, and
his son, were killed yesterday by an ex
plosion of dynamite.
The farmer and his two sons, with a
nephew, were engaged In ditching across
the yard and were using dynamite to
loosen up the frozen surface of the ground.
The elder Lutsholts was carrying- several
sticks of the explosive In a basket and
placing a charge, when In some manner a
terrlilo explosion occurred, resulting in
the death of the father and one son, stand
ing near at hand. The elder Lutholts was
frightfully mangled, the force of the ex
plosion tearing off both les and one arm.
while the other arm was torn off at the
elbow. He ' retained consciousness for
nearly two hours after the accident, but
could not communicate with his folks the
exact facts concerning the origin of the
trouble, it Is supposed that in attempting
to light the fuse attached to the charge
In the ground some sparks might have
communicated to thg sticks of the fuse In
the - basket, but none of the participants
have been able to tell how It really hap-
perwd. . - .
The son. 17 years of age, who was stand
ing nearest his father when the accident
occurred, received the full force of the ex
plosion In his side and was also struck by
several pieces of -frosen soil In the head.
His wounds resulted In his death this
morning.
Ths other son and nephew also sustained
a number of dangerous wounds nd suffered
severely from the force of the shock. Some
doubt exists as to whether they will both
survive their Injuries.
All the victims belong to the Mennontte
settlement, which 1 quite strong In that
region. The double funeral took place at
the church of that organization today and
an Immense crowd from sll over the south
part of the county attended.
Farmers living six and seven miles distant
