Bergen, Norway, Aug. 81, 1899.
WMLMAR TRIBUNE, Wlllmar, MINI.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-Willy you please print
a few words from an old acquaintance
and an old settler of Kandiyohi coun-
ty. I am now in the old country, and
have been travelling for the last six
weeks through the country, and I
thought it might be of interest to some
of your readers to-. hear from me, al
though I know I am a poor writer.
I left New York the 18th of July with
the steamer Teutonic, of the White
Star Line, aud arrived here in Bergen
on the 23rd, and since then I have been
on the go all the time until I am be-
coming tired of seeing the mountains,
jerds, waterfalls and stones, and I am
now only looking for aichance to cross
the water again, to get back to Vir-
ginia. ~>s~'>s''.~
Ihave been ito see Mr.. Jersin, form
erly Of Willmar, twice and there met
Mr.. Jorgenson and two daughters, of
Willmar. Yesterday I met the Hon.
Knute Nelson down on the fish market.
I was so surprised: did not know
what to say. stood looking at him
for a while and made up my mind that
it was Knute and no. one, else, and
went UP to him and asked if it wasn't
our honorable senator from Mime
sofa, and he said: '.ves. - He asked
me howl knew him, and I replied that
I had seen and heard him q good
many times at Willmar, Minn. Then
he looked me over from top to toe and
made some remark about the fisher
men and that he had not had his
breakfast and went to his hotel. ss@
I have been wondering how Norway
can feed SO many people, and they
seem to live well, too, but / have
found that the producer and consumer
are close together, and they have not
so many mid dle-men TO feed as we
have. But am afraid that the time
is coming, here. too, that nobody can

rifle thrown carelessly across his sad
die and an ugly looking bowie knife
encased in sheath dangling from the
side of his buckskin trousers.
Jim Crawford was not q coward In
any sense of the word as he had ex-
perienced many thrilling and hair
breadth escapes during his ten year
reign as railroad telegrapher, ana his
learning taught him on occs sions
where danger or even presentiment
of impending trouble lurked about to
mainta an air of composure and not
give away to nervousness or rattle
headedDess.
Placing his right hand in his coat
pocket and grasping the handle of his
gun the operator stood in full view OF
the batch of Mexicans. One of the
men alighted from his horse and, APP
preaching the unmovable Crawford
said in his native tongue "Sir. do you
speak Mexican?"
The telegraph man replied in the
affirmative as Jim was in a position to
master the language, he having
picked up the accent from the Mex
lean section men along the road.
"Senor," broke forth the spokesman,
''we have been riding long all day and
would like to have water for ourselves
and animals. We will reimburse II
you can accommodate U.S." Crawford at
this stage of the proceedings was
thoroughly satisfied sin his mind that
the men were in no quest of trouble
and as he always had barrel of water
on tap at his place and could spare q
goodly amount, without stinting him
self, he cheerfully complied with their
request.
In reciprocat:on the men had given
him among other things five bottles of
that celebrated Mexican beverage
tequila. ''Seuor, drink of this and
you will be happy" said the leader,

they were six in number, aud were

"Guess I'd better be on the safe side
anyway; man doesn't want to take
any chances in this section OF the

After carefully looking the weapon
over and being satisfied the revolver
was in good shape for service Crawford
placed the shooting iron in side coat
pocket so that in the event'of using 1t
the thing could be reached in jif1y.

an awful grip. Wakefield swan out
and tried to assist Kimball, but was
forced to desist and had hard work to
get ashore.
kimball tried to get hold of Darling
and save him until he went down for
the last time, when, with difficulty. he
succeeded in getting ashore. Kimball
was greatly exhausted, and at one time
thought he would sink with Darling.
while the struggle in the water was
going on, Jerry Wakefield, Charlie Pet
ties, George Wakefield, with Arthur and
Richard Taft, who were on the bank,
ran for help. Irving Hey, e. A. Wheel
sock, A. W. Sigourney and Byron Clark
were among the first to respond. and
went out in boat, and Clark brought
the body to the surface.

Or, j. r. Woodward arrived soon and
took charge. Everything was in vain.
however, and at length the efforts were
given up, and the body was taken ia
Wheelock's undertaking rooms.
1t is exactly two weeks since the
STAFFORD tragedy, and is peculiarly sad
because Darling was so well known in
town, and had many friends Much
sympathy is expressed for his family.
Clarence L. Darling was born June
10, 1881, and was therefore IS years of
age at the time of his death. He was
one of the brightest and most intel
lgent scholars that ever attended the
high school here. He graduated from
that institution in 1897 For some
years he has acted as assistant post
master, and has performed the duties
of that office in a way very acceptable
to the public. He was esteemed and
loved by his companions and was al
ways ready to do them any service in
his power.
BY his death the town of Oxford has
lost one of it's most promising young
men, and among his friends of his own
age place is made vacant, which never
can be filled. He was a member of the
grange, the Maanexit Club and the O.
H. S. Alumni Association. His loss will
be deeply felt by all these organfza
lions as we'll as by his many friends
outside of them.
