DEATHS.
CHRISTEN SON-At s O'Clock a. m,
Sunday, April 18th, 1897, Miss
MARTHA CHRISTENSEN, an old
resident of Willmar, passed to her
eternal rest at age of over 70years.
Martha Christensen was born in
Hedemarken, Strangers Sogn, Norway,
October LIST, 1926. She arrived from
Norway in 1866, and settled in Texas.
In 1872 she came to Willmar in compa-
ny with the family OF Rev. Estrem.
Miss Christensen has been in the
millinery business all her life, and by
unusual ability has been very success
full. She is very we'll and favorably
known throughout the surrounding
country as she had in fact the first
and for a long time the only millinery
establishment of Willmar.
She has been a faithful and iniuen-
tial member Of the Norwegian Synod
Church, and has been an especial and
lifelong friend of Rev. Estrem's fami-
ly.
About ten years ago she retired
from business. She then made a trip
to Norway to visit her old home. On
her return she resided two years at
Crookston, MIMI, with a nephew, and
five years at Minneapolis with J. P.
Johnson's. About two years ago she
returned to Willmar. Last fall she
fell and injured her right hip. This
confined her to her bed and an old
stomach complaint developed into SER
ious sickness. The immediate cause
of death was due to complete obstruc-
thin of the bowels due to abdominal
disease. She naturally suffered con-
siderably in spite of everything done
to ease her. She passed away gently,
at peace with the world, beloved by
all and with her trust in God.
She leaves one brother, G.. Christen-
son of this village, and number of
nieces and nephews in Texas, Alaba-
ma and this state.
The remains are laid to rest this
afternoon. Services are held at , p.
m. at the residence and at 2:3O at the
Norwegian Synod Church. Rest in
peace.

If you want to know how the new
wolf bounty law works inpracticc, just
ask CO. Auditor Johnson. Said law
provides that the carcass of the dead
wolf be taken to the county auditor
and be destroyed by him. Last Thurs
day Andreas D. Johnson of Roseland
stalked into the office carrying a capa-
cious valise. When he proceeded to
open the same the pungent odor of de-
caying wolf filled the air. The audi
tor wanted to organize a funeral on
the spot to dispose Of the remains,
but Mr.. johnson refused to relinguish
his prize before he had stripped Off
the hide. An adjournment was taken
to the basement, where Mr.. Wolf lost
his fur. After some hesitation about
starting on a burial trip outside OF
the city limits, the remains of the
brute we're finally pitched into the fur
mace and there speedily cremated. But
it isn't at all seasons Of the year that
the furnace is doing business, and
therefore should: you some fine day
meet our dignitied Co. Auditor with a
spade strapped to his back and push
ing a barrow loaded with what looks
like carcass of veal, don't jump al
the conclusion that he has killed the
fatted calf, but remember that he is
executing the provisions of the new
wolf bounty law. =.
