MRS. KRAUSE SUES LODGE
Muscatine, Ia, Feb. 24 -- Mrs. Tomka Krause, defendant in a
Worthington, Minn. murder trial for the murder of her husband, August Krause, in
January, 1904, has sued the Modern Woodmen lodge for the death benefit of her
husband. Payment was refused owing to the peculiar death of her husband.
H.W. DOOLITTLES' ETHELYN WINS
Stillwater Special, Feb. 17. -- The matinee on the ice for
trotting and pacing horses, was witnessed by a large crowd of enthusiasts
notwithstanding the cold wind. The horses ran with the wind down the St. Croix.
There were three regular heats and a dead one. Ethlyn, owned by H.W. Doolittle,
took three straight heats and first prize.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT
Dr. P.T. Geyerman is confined to his home and is suffering a
great deal of pain from some bad burns which he received yesterday afternoon.
Immediately after dinner he lighted an oil stove in the bathroom at the Geyerman
residence and then went into his bed room for a moment. While he was gone the
stove exploded and in a moment the room was filled with flames and smoke. The
doctor hurried to the room and seizing the stove started to carry it down stairs
and out of doors. This he succeeded in doing, tho his hands were frightfully
burned. The flames scorched his face, neck and chest in terrible shape, but the
fire was put out and the house saved. F.R. Geyerman, who came to the doctor's
assistance, was also badly scorched, but his injuries are not serious. The
damage to the house and furniture is damaged to the extent of $100. The accident
is a most distressing one under any circumstances but coming at a time when so
many people are ill and need the doctor's assistance, makes it doubly bad. It
certainly requires a superior quality of nerve for a man to go into a mass of
flames and carry a red hot stove from the building, while every moment is one of
agony; and we believe that the doctor is richly entitled to a prize from the
Carnegie Hero Fund. --Brewster Tribune.

KILLED UNDER THE CARS
Cyrus D. Wilbern Met Instant Death
Cyrus D. Wilbern one of the most substantial and highly
respected citizens of Sibley met instant death yesterday afternoon at two
o'clock under the wheels of a Rock Island freight car. He had left the office of
the Harris Elevator Co. and started up the side track toward the Rock Island
depot. About the time he reached the wagon crossing an engine and freight train
came up behind him. Hearing the noise from behind he stepped out of the way of
this train and got over on the main track just as a second train headed west was
backing up. The train on the main track had "kicked" a car to run it in side
track and as he stepped inside the rails the loose car struck him from behind,
two wheels passing over him just below the groin. He was shoved along a distance
of thirty of forty feet and both legs were frightfully mangled. The accident was
witnessed by Will Redmond and a brakeman, who pulled him from under the car
after it had stopped. He made two or three inarticulate cries, gasped and died.
Just how he came to be caught in such a terrible manner is
difficult to explain, but it is presumed that he was not aware of a second train
being close and the noise of the engine on the side track covered the stealthy
approach of the loose car on the main line. Mr. Wilbern was the last person one
would suspect of being the victim of such an accident. Of a careful, methodical
disposition, and extreme alertness of body, the only conclusion is that he was
caught in a veritable trap, formed by a most unfortunate combination of
circumstances.
Funeral services will be held this afternoon at two o'clock at
the house, and the remains will be interred in the Sibley cemetery. All business
houses will be closed from 1:30 to 3:00 o'clock.
Mrs. F.M. Hickman and Mrs. Ira P. Fox, daughters of the
deceased, arrived here yesterday afternoon from Worthington. -Sibley Gazette.
