William Westley Jenkins died at the hospital at Sibley, Tuesday afternoon, following an operation performed Sunday afternoon for bowel obstruction. Although he had been in comparatively good health right along, he lacked vitality to rally and peacefully passed to his reward. He was one of the pioneers in the settlement of Little Rock township, well known and very highly respected. Wealth rewarded his farming efforts in most abundant degree and his fine farm is a testimonial to his perseverence, industry and executive ability. In 1872 this farm, the northwest quarter of Sec. 32, Little Rock township, was homesteaded and has been the family home ever since. --Ellsworth News.

Last Sunday evening Jas. Brown, of Minneota township, drove to one of his neighbors, Hans Christensen, and after remaining there a short time started for home. He was caught in a storm and a flash of lightning killed him and the team he was driving. The tragedy must have occurred when the storm was at its worst, or about 8:30, but no one knew anything about it until the next day. Not having returned during the night, Mrs. Brown became worried about her husband and a brother of Mr. Brown also became uneasy and started out in the morning to look for him. He had gone but a short distance from the house when he saw his team lying in the road on a hill about half a mile from the house. Upon arriving there he found both horses dead still hitched to the buggy. The victim of the tragedy was sitting on the buggy seat, but so burned and badly charred that beyond recognizing the remains as that of a human being was impossible.

The clothes Mr. Brown wore were burned so that they were black as coal. The buggy box was also consumed by the flash of lightning. --Lakefield Standard.

FORMER RESIDENT DROWNED
Nels Hawkinson Resided for a Number of Years Near Worthington.

"Nels Hawkinson, a resident of East Mellen, and an employee of the tannery for a number of years, met an unfortunate and mysterious death Sunday night by drowning in Bad river near the bridge on River street. While he must have fallen in the river some time Sunday evening, his body was not discovered until Wednesday forenoon, after the Mellen Water & Light Co. closed their dam, which lowered the water in the river to such an extent that the searchers were able to locate the body.

"Mr. Hawkinson was last seen alive about 9 o'clock Sunday night by C.W. Macomber, Ed, Henderson and Henry Albright. The gentlemen had been fishing and had the tannery team with them, and after putting the team up met Mr. Hawkinson on River street, and he told them he would go and feed the team before he went home. Mr. Hawkinson was the tannery teamster and always insisted on taking care of the team himself.

"It was very stormy Sunday night and rained hard, but how he happened to fall in the river and drown will never be known. His body was found near the little building on the bank once used for a blacksmith shop by the leather company. A large number of men worked hard to locate the body, but their efforts were not successful until Wednesday morning, when Con Clemens and John Henry found the remains. His cap had been found in that vicinity Monday morning.

"The deceased had been in the employ of the leather company upwards of fifteen years during which time he has made his residence in this city. He leaves a wife and five children. He was a member of the Modern Woodman and carried $1,000 insurance.

The funeral was held yesterday afternoon and was largely attended. --Mellen, (Wis.) Weekly.

Mr. Hawkinson was well known by a number of the older residents of this community, having resided on a farm four miles south of this city for a number of years. He left here about eighteen years ago and moved to Wisconsin, where he has since resided until the day of his untimely death. He is a brother of Peter Hawkinson, who lives about three miles south of this city, on the banks of Lake Ocheydan.

HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE

Living within a distance of one mile of North Redwood, and in a humble hut that is surrounded on all sides by thick timber for a period of 27 years without having left the premises, is the unusual record of Mrs. Peter Yantz, a pioneer settler who is fully 80 years of age.

Mrs. Yantz has never seen an automobile, electric light, telephone, or has she ever seen a moving picture show or heard a phonograph. She lives in complete ignorance of all the wonderful developments that have taken place during the past half century, and is as innocent of what the world is doing as a new-born babe. She neither remembers the date of her birth nor that of her wedding, but in accordance with the information gleaned from neighboring farmers this remarkable woman is fully 80 years of age, and has been wedded for at least 60 years.

Mrs. Yantz came to Redwood Co. in the early seventies in an immigrant wagon with her husband, who served three years in the Twenty-Second Wisconsin Regt. during the Civil War. He was captured at Springhill, Tenn., on March 4, 1863, and held as a prisoner by the Confederate forces for nearly three months. He nearly died from starvation and exposure. The old people live in perfect harmony in their hut that is surrounded by forest and thicket. Mr. Yantz spends all his time to fishing and maintains his home on the pension he receives from the United State government.

Both the old settlers have used tobacco for a great number of years and Mrs. Yantz especially thoroughly enjoys her well seasoned clay pipe. --Redwood Falls Sun.
