From The Chicaso Dem Pres-
We have heard doubts expressed whether the facts
so often stated in reference 10 the death of this little
Norwegian boy were really true. \ paragraph in one
Of our city papers has called out the following from the
Rev Paul Anderson Pastor Of the Evangelical Luthe-
ran Church which we think will satisfy the public il
any there be who have doubts in reference 10 this
whole matter The particulars which he gives are I'M
,s. IN several respects and the whole character of
The boy was in keeping wiia his tfagical and noble
death.
MEssis EDITORS. hOpe it may not be deemed i'm,
proper in me 10 present few facts the public in regard
10 the unfortunate KIND Ivercn II seems from certain
statements in Of the city papers OF yesterday persons
in doubt a. 10 whether the boy really suHered Tor
righteousness sake Wa not at home when the affair
took place ard have not been until the sd Iust aal 81
course speak from observation in regard TO any
thing else than the character OF the boy.
As to the fact of his being murdered by boys,
refer the doubling the evidence ELECTED before the
Coroner jury. Ofthe circumstances OF his death have
learned the following: .
Knud was sent after the cows and another boy with
him When up by the tolgate or between the toll gate
ard the river they Knud and the other bow mot
larger boys who talked TO them about getting apples out
Of Mr. Elsons garden bot to their being frightened
of by Mr. Elsion stated in paper Yesterday think
is mistake knud refused 10 90 and steal, a. requested
by the boys They then entccd him with them to the
fver swim but the other boy went OIL and Mud they
got with them And from the evidence Of German boy
no saw them and the bank of the river at short
distance of when the murderers had "ducked him. it
seems that they renewed their request that ne should 20
and steal apples for them as be was an entire stranger
having never been the premises and on his positively
refusing they took and "ducked him until he was dead
hen those BOYS came shore, the German boy asked
what they had done with Knud if they had killed him
&c They told him that he was dead and thai he should
not tell his father of IT, they then oil in the greatest
fright. This boy having took knuds clothes, carried
them TO his lknud s. father and told him These are
Knuds clothes, and some boys drowned hun up in the
river"
1his, understand is the statement made by the Ger
boy who there and saw them This same Ger
boy says he knows those boys By sight they ell at
tended the public school together last winter but he doe.
not know their names. lie further state that he has never
been able to get his eye but of them since and al
oh hqs bet ms he A been
since the German boy discovered house where he
went in.
Thi- il brief statement ofthe circumstances have
learned them since my return home on last Friday.
But my main object in prcsentng any facts to the pub
lie touching this mGtter 10 say something about the
boys character have known him since have been in
the whole Of that time been members of my church. and
being pOus Ie0le they trained their children in the fear
God-knud has not only been faithful member of the
Sunday Schooin church but as II l. universal prac
tce in the Lutheran Church 10 catecse ALL the children
Knud also instructed in the principles AMI doctrines
OF Christianity there For several years did MT mis-
Linn when the children came 10 my house every Wetnes
day through the whole winter and we shall commence
those exercises again next week. but alas knud viii not
be among He had learned that thief shall enter
1.-The kingdom of heaven.
From the knowledge have Of his character 1t utterly
impossible that he would yield to threats promises in
DONG willfuy wrong act. Nav, whenever anything
happened 10 him and his surviving brother which their
parents would not approve Of knud always went from
coIsciousuoss If duty and conf sscd the whole But
need not enlarge this Is by no means the only crcum
stance that tesifes of his character lie known by
bis uiis long before he fell martyr to honesty anu
doubt whether be- or any one would have stood the test
without thoroughly established character before; anu
his previous conduct the most conclusive evidence to US
Ills the place for to speak Of the effect which
the interest manifested by fellow citizens in this mat
ter has had upon us in a land Of strangers.
May the Lord override this sad occurrence for
the furherance of His glory, for what was our loss was
"his gain Respectfully, &c IL ANDERSON.
