DEATHS CALL.
Mrs. P. X. Wiser Summoned to
Her Rest.
A Well Known and Highly Esteemed
Resident, Active 10 Social and
Charitable Circles.

1t is our sad duty to chronicle
the death of Mrs. Arabella Maxield
Wiser, which occurred at 10 o'clock this
forenoon atoher home on South Front
street. She was conscious to the last
and was surrounded during the
moments sof her dissolution by the
members. of her family and relatives
who had been unremitting in their care
and attention throughout her illness.
Mrs. Wiser had a fall on the ice two
years ago, and had suffered more OF
less ever since. but her serious illness
dated back only'to about eight weeks
ago. Her strong body and rugged con-
stitution enabled her to resist the eff
fects of the complication of diseases
that beset. her, and her life was pro.
longed on this account. Hope of
recovery was abandoned some days
ago, it beingsrealized that she was past
the power CT medical skill to re-
store her.
Mrs. Wiser was born in Norwich,
Muskingum county, Ohio, March 22nd,
1916. She.was united in marriage with
Mr.. P. K. Wiser Jan. 1st, 1865, at St,
Louis, Mo-, and they went to st. Paul
the same year. and landed from a
steamer in Mankato on March 1st, 1866,
Mrs. Wiser is survived by her husband
andEtwo sons, James Maxfield Wiser
and Louis Clark Wiser. She was the
last member living of her own family,
and was an aunt of Mrs. Geo. E. Brett
and of Mrs. d. W. Wiser, and sister
in-law of Mrs. Mary. Maxfeld.
The deceased was an active member
of the Presbyterian church and also of
the Ladies' Relief Society. She was
active in all social and charitable
matters, andswas possessed of unusual
sweetness of temperament and many
graces of character that made her be-
loved by all who enjoyed her acquaint-
ance. She was loving wife and de-
voted mother, and sincere in her friend
ships. The sympathy of all will go out
to the bereaveds husband and sons in
their hour of sorrow, but they have
that richest of inheritances, the bless
ing and fond memories of a pure and
devoted woman.
Mrs. Wiser enjoyed very wide &C.
quaintance in the state, and her death,
although'not sudden nor unexpected
will cause genuine regret among all
who knew her.

tin Sorenson.

Last Saturday moaning at 2 o'clock
the people of Willmar were reused
from their slumbers by the ominous
nowllng of the fire whistle, obedient
to call turned in by Nj ght Marshall
Stalland. The fire was in the back
OF Carlson Bros. & Frost's drug
store. How the fire started no one
seems to know. There are several
theories, but all that seems certain is
That the fire started in the Office of DR..
Frost, upstairs, and burned a hole in
the floor down into the store, and was
just commencing on the wall paper
and fixtures in the back part of the
building, when its progress was ar
rested by the fire department. The
work of the boys was somewhat ham,
pered on account of the absence of a
number who evidently had not heard
the call, but still good work was done.
The loss, estimated at about $1,000
on stock and fixtures, was partially
covered by insurance and on the
building there was only $1,000 insur-
ance. The loss to the building is es-
timated at $1,000. The loss on the
stock has bee adjusted for 81, 1926; the
insurance on the building is not yet
adjusted. DR.. Frost's Office was COM
pletely gutted and contents destroyed.
The affair came near becoming a.
tragedy. N. B. Carlson was asleep
in his room upstairs. He has no re-
collection of what happened, but it
appears that he had got up and tried
to find his way down; bewildered by
the smoke, he turned into a side hall
in front of DR.. Twitchell's office, and
fell face downwards. At first it was
reported that Nels had got out, but
as he could not be found Martin Sor-s
enson went up through the suffocating
smoke into the room. Not finding
Nels on his bed, he rushed ont to get,
some fresh air; he then returned and
crept on all-fours all over the room.
Then he happened to think of the side
hall, and crawling in there he found
the object of his search, apparently
dead, but fortunately only unconscious.
Martin, like little giant, picked him
up and carried him down the long
stairway He was taken to Central
HOTEL where the doctors succeeded III

writing he is doing nicely, but II was
