WILL REMODEL M. W. HALL
On Saturday of last week the contract to remodel the M. W. A. Hall was
let to Henry Schindel by the officers of the Hinton Opera House Company.
The building will be lengthened thirty feet and given an increased width
of twenty feet. A modern stage will be put in and the building will be
refitted in side. This will give Hinton a first class public hall and
the promoters are to be commended for the progressive spirit shown.

Workmen began Monday to clear away the rubbish where the old Bank of
Hinton stood and work on the new building will start at once. The new
structure will be 24x67 feet, one story high with nine foot ceilings.
Forty feet of the west end will be used by P. S. Tronsrue for his drug
store and the balance will be occupied by the Bank of Hinton. The
building will be fire proof and modern throughout and will have plate
glass windows in the east and south fronts. Shuenk and Barnholtz have

BURNIGHT ELEVATOR BURNS
T. L. Burnight's grain elevator, just north of the stock yards, was
entirely destroyed by fire between the hours of 12:30 and 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning. The fire was first discovered by Night watchman, C.
P. Vargason, and a few others who were watching the rise in the river
near the mill. They at once gave the alarm and the fire whistle was
blown and the bell rung. The fire department and a large crowd were
soon on the scene. The flames seemed to have started in the driveway or
in the pit beneath and it had gained good headway. The firemen did good
service, but with the single line of hose at their disposal could do
nothing more than keep things wet down around the edges. From 1:15 to
1:30 o'clock the blaze was at its height and it took some strenuous work
to prevent the Ed. Lamoureux residence on the west from igniting from
the intense heat. The firemen prevented destruction of the Akron Lumber
Co.'s coal sheds at the south of the elevator. When the main portion of
the elevator collapsed it fell toward the east, onto the side track. It
happened that no cars were on track nearby. The origin of the fire was
probably from combustion in the pit or "boot" of the elevator.
Mr. Burnight states that the elevator contained something over 2000
bushels of corn, valued at $1200, which was fully insured. The loss on
the building is about $4,500, covered by $3,000 insurance. The south
flathouse contained a quantity of baled hay.
Mr. Burnight built the first part of the elevator in 1890 and added to
it later. He expects to build another storage elevator.
This is the fourth grain elevator to burn in Akron within five years,
and it is a singular as well as fortunate fact that there has been an
absence of wind upon each occasion, permitting the fire to be confined
to the one structure.

YOUNG MEN DROWNED
ARTHUR ERICKSEN AND COLIN BRODIE DIE TOGETHER
ONE TRIED TO SAVE THE OTHER
Fatality Occurred in Mink Creek on Sunday Afternoon When They Were Engaged
In
Stretching a Seine Across the Stream.
Two families are plunged in grief over a tragedy which occurred on Sunday
afternoon when Arthur Ericksen and Colin Brodie, two well known young men in
this community, lost their lives by drowning.
Just how the fatality occurred will never be precisely known as there were
no
eye witnesses and just what happened is largely a matter of conjecture. In
the
afternoon Colin Brodie was visiting his brother-in-law, Arthur Ericksen, at
the latter’s home near Brunsville and in company with the hired man,
Bernard Goedert, they went down to the Mink Creek, which flows through the
Ericksen farm to fish. The had seine with them and started to put it across
the creek which at the point they were at is widened by a large pool. They
found the rope was too short and Goodert went back to the house to get a
rope.
When some time later Goedert returned to the creek he could see no trace of
his companions, although he saw some clothing on the bank. He thought the
other two were playing a prank on him and had gone to some other part of the
creek. He waited around for sometime and at length becoming alarmed he
commenced a search and finding no trace of them went to the Ihnke Harms
house
and with Fred Dirks and young Harms began to make further search.
Dirks went into the water and repeatedly dived at the spot where the
clothing
was on the bank. He had made several attempts and had nearly concluded to
desist from his efforts when his foot caught in the net. As he came up he
grabbed the net with one hand and as he did so the head of Arthur Ericksen
bobbed up above the water before the eyes of the horrified spectators.
The body of Colin Brodie was found lying in shallower water a little
distance
from the place where that of Arthur was dragged to the surface. Ericksen had
on his clothes while young Brodie was stripped off. It is assumed that one
or
the other got tangled up in the net and that his companion went to his
assistance and both met death. Both were good swimmers.
The bodies were taken in a handcar along the railroad track to Brunsville.
Physicians were hurriedly on the spot but their services were of no avail as
it is supposed the youths had been dead for more than two hours. The first
body
was pulled out of the stream at half past six and the other half an hour
later. Hundreds of people flocked to the scene of the accident from Le Mars
and surrounding points.
The grief of the relatives at the sudden disaster is deep and consolation
and
sympathy are offered by many friends who in their words of condolence feel
that only the gentle and healing hand of time can assuage the grief of the
heart-stricken widow, the parents, brothers, and sisters in their terrible
loss.
Both of the unfortunate young men who met death while attempting to save
each
other were born and reared in this county.
Colin Douglas Brodie was the fifth son of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Brodie, of
this
city, and was born in Le Mars on December 17, 1896, being seventeen years
and
six months old. His early years were spent on the Brodie farm a mile south
of
town and when his parents moved to town some time ago he attended the city
schools. He was in his third year in the high school and was in
exceptionally
bright and clever, fine appearing, strong and athletic and a general
favorite
with his associates.
Besides his bereaved parents he leaves one sister and six brothers to mourn
his early death. They are Mrs. Arthur Ericksen, Chas. John, Stuart, Ronald,
William and Robert.
Colin was well liked by all with whom he came in contact and his sad fate,
cut
off in the first flush of dawning young manhood, is a source of sorrow to
many
friends who extend deepest sympathy to the afflicted ones.
Funeral services for the young men will be held, as is fitting, conjointly
on
the same day and their bodies will be laid to rest in the quiet country
church
cemetery at Crathorne, near the church in which in their early years they
attended Sunday school and heard the teachings of a divine love and a future
inheritance.
A brief service will be conducted at the Brodie home, south of Crathorne,
today at one o’clock, followed by a brief service at the Ericksen home and
services will be held at the Crathorne church at half past two o’clock.

TWO LIVES LOST NEAR LEMARS
Last Sunday morning, June 14th, Arthur Erickson aged 30 and his brother-in-law, Colin Brodie, aged 17 were drowned while seining in Mink creek seven miles west of LeMars with a companion. They started to put a net across the stream and found the rope too short. The hired man went to get a rope and when he came back could find no trace of either Erickson or Brodie. He gave an alarm and after diving several times Fred Dirks, of Brunsville, succeeded in bringing the net to the surface and others assisted him in hauling it to the bank. The bodies were tangled up in the net. Erickson leaves a wife and baby. From the appearances it is judged that Erickson got tangled up and the young man went to his assistance.

Lee J. Loveless and two daughters, his mother and sister from Waterloo,
Iowa, stopped off here the first of the week to visit the J. A. Sayer
family. Their way of travel is a new 40 h. p. auto fully equipped with
a big “tent” that can be pitched over the machine, thus having electric
lights and other comforts, all in a nutshell. Mr. Loveless recently
sold a farm and is intending to take a year in rest and travel. From
here they went to Marcus, Iowa, then on to Tripp county, S. D., and on
through Minnesota and North Dakota, and expects to travel to the coast
before returning home. That the visit was enjoyed is putting it mildly,
for they hadn't met for twenty years when they were working together on
an eastern Iowa farm. Mr. Loveless said he had an uncle who in the
early drove to California with an ox team, so he little questions his
making Yellowstone Park in his auto.

DEATH WAS A GREAT SHOCK
Ten-Year Old Boy Succumbs to Brief Illness
Fred, the ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weber, residing in
Washington township, died yesterday morning of diabetes. The boy had
been complaining of not feeling well for a week or two, but was up and
around and had a good appetite. On Saturday his father brought him to
LeMars and consulted a physician. The doctor found that the lad was
seriously ill and recommended he be taken to a hospital or home at once.
On Sunday morning the boy was apparently a little better, but on Sunday
night he complained of great pain in his knees and stomach. He sank
rapidly throughout the night and passed away on Monday morning.
Frederick Weber was born in this county on September 2, 1903. He was a
bright boy, well liked by his playmates. His sudden death is a great
blow to his parents and brothers and sisters, and they have the sympathy
of their neighbors in their loss.
The funeral will be held this afternoon at the Johnson Township Lutheran
Church.

Mrs. E.P. Heizer, and was to them as a son. He was 42 years of age.
