Minneapolis Man Run Over By a Loaded Lumber Wagon
Frank Andrews of Minneapolis was run over by a loaded lumber wagon at Napoleon Tuesday, and died from the injuries.
Andres, who is a son of Mrs. T. S. Andrews and a nephew of Mrs. J. S. Pillsbury, has a ranch at Napoleon, adjoining that of former United States Senator Gilfillan. He was out hunting with James Gilfillan, and was on his way home, when he fell off the lumber wagon on which they were riding and both wheels passed over his abdomen. His family was notified by telegraph and his brother, George C Andrews left immediately with Dr. Wilcox and a trained nurse for Napoleon, but he died a short time before they arrived.
He was married a year ago to Miss Catharine Gearheart. He was born 26 years ago and is survived by a wife, his mother and sister and a brother.

Miner Killed In Avalanche
Dickinson, N.D., Feb 14—Harry Mingle, a miner employed in the Julius Carson coal mine near Marshall, was instantly killed when the roof of the room in which he was working caved in and fell upon him. Failure of the dead man to properly brace the roof before blasting is held as the cause of the accident.
Mingle was well known in the Marshall neighborhood, having worked there for the past year. He was 38 and had been married twice, one wife being dead and the other separated. He was able to be married again to Miss Mary Pickle of Wheaton, Minn.
