John Parker Mrs. Morrison Column 3 Lesucur, Minn., Feb. 9 – Chris Hahn, of this County, whose postoffice address is Lesucur, had a great stroke of luck recently, resulting from a serious accident. He was driving home and to shorten the journey, turned from the highway and took a short cut across Peanut Lake. Just before he reached the opposite shore however the ice broke and the team and sled were precipitated into the water, which fortunately, was only about five foot deep where the sled went down and still shallower where the team was. The horses were quiet and did not plunge about, but were unable to climb out over the ice with the sled attached to them. Hahn promptly dove down into the water back of the horses, pulled out the pin that held the doubletree to the tongue, dove in to the sleigh box and got an ax with which he cut out some of the ice in front of the horses, the team then was able to climb out and were driven by Hahn to a neighbor’s barn and well blanked. After Hahn had changed his cloths and had taken a few drinks of hot home made wine at his neighbors, he borrowed a team, and going back to the lake, cut a path through the ice to the shore, fastened a long chain to the end of the sled tongue and hauled the sled out on land. When he did so a great and happy surprise was vouchsafed him for the high double sleigh box weighted down as it fortunately had been with a couple of bundles of fence wire had not floated off the runners, but had remained submerged beneath the water, and while in that position, had been filled almost completely full of fine pickerel, pike and black bass that had swarmed in from deeper portions of the lake to get a breath of fresh air at the opening made when the team broke through. The weight of the load of fish exceeded a ton and Hahn made a fine profit out of the accident the next day, which was Friday for he brought the load into town and sold it all in a short time at 5 cents a pound netting a profit to himself of over $100, after paying Paul F. Black and Herman Weckworth for their services as auctioneer and clerk, respectively. 1. T.
