Abner Coles

SETTLED AT LAST
How Old Abner Coles Died Without Even Getting Justice
"I never knew when the accident happened. It was on the books of the railroad company when I first went to work for the attorney of the road.
Year after year every six months the old fellow used to come down to the city to see if we were ready to settle. He had lost his leg in a smash-up"
"We are not liable; but we will do something for you." would be his greeting from the astute railroad attorney. You must be patient, there are so many ahead of you."
One day he hobbled into the general offices and declared that he would not leave unless he was attended to.
"Your claim in for $20,000?" asked the lawyer, kindly
"That's it; every decision of the courts has been agin you; it is now nine years since you told me you would settle. My wife has died, Poor soul, I thought some of the money would do her good, The boys had grown up; Lightnin' struck the barn. Fire swept away all I had. Jim my favorite son went down with liquor.
"We will settle," said the lawyer, kindly, "but you must be patient."
And years swept by, and the lawyer himself went to his reward. The road changed hands, was sold under a mortgage, and was reorganized. New officers, filled the places of the old ones.
A newer life and a newer generation held sway.
They said the claim was to be settled; '
Yes.
Well, that funeral you just saw passing the door from the county poor farm was the last of earth for old Abner Coles, who lived and died without justice between man and a soul-less corporation.

The following obituary was received too late for last week:
Died – At her home in Hixton on Friday, March 7th, Mrs. Matie Poling, aged 25 years, of pneumonia.
The telegram announcing Matie Poling’s death to her family here came as a thunderbolt from a clear sky and was a shock to the entire community.
Mrs. Poling was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Oleson Sr. and was born in Unity, Jan. 2. 1888 and spent all her girlhood in this village. Here she attended school and formed those warm school day friendships which endure through all time, for as a girl and woman she possessed a most likable disposition, temperament and character which endeared her to her friends. She was married on Dec. 9, 1907, to George Flower, who after a short wedded life of six months passed over the river. A few years after her bereavement she went to Cloquet where she took up the millinery work as a life’s vocation. Here she met Mr. Poling and on Nov. 15, 1910, she was married to him at Duluth, Minn., and for sometime continued her home at Cloquet. Last fall she spent several weeks here, going to Black River Falls where her husband was employed. Just about a week previous to her death they went to Hixton where Mr. Poling had contracted to work for the coming year. In going to Hixton, she contracted a severe cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia and on Monday a severe hemorrhage so reduced her strength that she was not able to revive and she passed away.
She leaves to mourn her death her husband, mother, four brothers and two sisters. She was a member of the order of Rebekahs and E.F.U. of this village and was an honored member of both societies.
The remains were brought to this village, Saturday, the funeral being held at the M. E. church on Monday afternoon under the auspices of the Order of Rebekahs who with the members of the E.F.U. attended in a body, Rev. Amy of Stanley officiating. Internment in the Lutheran cemetery. The sympathy of the entire village is with the husband, mother, brothers *** The rest of the article was cut off and not available at the time of transcription.

Rivers Released. His Daughter Found to Have Died from Natural Causes
Mattie Rivers, father of Mrs. Starks the woman found dying at 242 St. Croix avenue on Tuesday morning and who died soon after, was yesterday released from custody as the doctors that examined the body could not find anything that would warrant suspecting the man of crime.
The doctors found that the woman probably died from blood poisoning caused by the decayed state of her kidneys. Beside this, the woman had pneumonia so bad that one of her lungs was entirely clogged up, and the also suffered from water on the brain, any one of which diseases was enough to kill her. She was a wreck caused by lack of care and too much exposure. No traces of poison were found In the stomach. Rivers was very much overcome when he came to realize that his daughter is dead.

CHISHOLM, Sept. 10. – George Weed, an employe of the Shannon livery stable, committed suicide about 3:30 this morning in the alley, immediately behind the Shannon barn by shooting himself in the head with a 38 Iver Johnson revolver. Only one shot was fired and it took instantaneous effect as the position of his body proved. The shot entered the head immediately below the right ear. The body was found by Eli Vudodenovich, another employe of the stable at about 5 o’clock when he came on duty.
Weed had been across the street at the Shannon garage talking to the boys there, and after a slight argument with them left and walked straight across the street and committed the act. They thought nothing of hearing the gun shot, as it is not an uncommon occurrence to hear a gun report here at night.
Coroner A. B. Kirk was called and after viewing the remains ordered them taken to the undertaker. Weed was in the saloon of Peterson & Haagbloom at midnight, where he was quietly talking to a friend and showed no signs of uneasiness. He had a confidential talk with his brother-in-law, Mr. Shannon, several days ago, and stated to him that he was going to the woods and would leave soon for Virginia. He has a sister here, Mrs. C. J. Shannon. His father died about a year ago. The remains are at the Phillips undertaking parlors and are being prepared for shipment to Ashland, Wis., where they will be sent tomorrow. Weed was single and about 30 years old.
