  - Last Thursday night about quarter after ten Chief police Chas. A. Rose found a team at the
bottom of the embankment leading to the bridge. Upon closer investigation Fred Gruenwald was
found under the bobsled with his neck broken; a front runner of the sled being across the man's
neck. Coroner Alois Hirsher took charge of the body and decided that it was not necessary to
hold an inquest. Gruenwald was a resident of Eden Prairie town living near Riley's Lake,
Thursday afternoon he sold some wood here and then filled up with liquor. About nine o'clock in
the evening he started for home. The tracks in the snow showed that he had been across the
bridge and had returned to this side and then beyond the fencing, which is at either side of the
approach to the bridge, the team had turned to the right, going over the embankment where the
grade is at an angle of about forty degrees and the distance to the bottom only about eight feet.
There were no witnesses to the accident, but it is presumed that as the sled went down the grade
Gruenwald rolled off the front of the wood rack and the sled ran across his neck, breaking it. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Lutheran church.

  Mr. Fred Greenwald would like to sell or give to some reasonable party two or three hundred
turtles that devour his ducks every time they go to the lake for a bath.
