The Daughter Of Conductor Evans
Leaves Home in Z Mysterious
MannoP

Manner.
The city dailies during the past

The young lady Is Miss Inez Evans,
the l8-year-old adopted daughter of
Ephraim D. Evans, 800 Marshall
avenue. Mr.. Evans will be rememb-

conductor on the St. Cloud & Will

peared from her home last Wednes.
day morning, and after much inquiry
and diligent search by the police,
she finally returned to her home on
Saturday evening from Minneapolis,
where it seems she had taken employ
ment as housemaid. The case is a
mysterious one and the girls strange
action could not be accounted for by
her parents. Why she had gone away
she would not say, and according to
reports she could not recall the name
OF the family for whom she had
worked.
Miss Evans was member of the
junior class in the Central high school,
where she was we'll known and popu.

Lately she has worried a good deal
over her studies and the fear that she
would not be able to keep up with her

A YOUNG LADY's PITlFUL CASE.
olava Dengerud, Of DoyTs, Committed
to the Fergus Falls Hospital for
the Second Time.


the Second Time.
Last Monday morning considerable
excitement was aroused upon our
streets by the strange actions of a
girl, who was in the employ of the
Merchants Hotel. She wandered
about in an aimless manner, and il
soon became evident to those who saw
her that she was demented. The
finale was reached when she ran dowr
Pacific avenue towards the Wilma,
mill, screaming and otherwise alarm
ing passers by. She was taken into
custody and placed in the county jail
pending an investigation of her case
The girls name is Olava Dengerud
She is 18 years of age, and has beer
employed as scrub girl at the Mer
chants Her home is in Dovre, tht
parents names being Mr.. and Mrs
Aslak Dengerud. This is the second
time she has exhibited violent attacks
of insanity. It is said by those who
are we'll acquainted with affairs tha
she has not had the proper treatment
at home that daughter is entitled to-
and this is partly to blame for hel
condition. While in the employ o
the hotel, she acted very strangely a
times, on one occasion setting fire tt
e. bunch of papers insaaksgs ba sement
She was at one time ii the employ 6
Mrs. T. O. Fixen, who stated that sh'
appeared very rational while there
and was hard-working girl.
The unfortunate girl had received
little education at home, and it seem!
that the proper inducements for HON,
culture were sadly lacking.
The examination took place Monda!
afternoon at $3.50, in probate court
The examining board found her cas-
to be one requiring the attention O
the hospital at Fergus Falls, and sh<
was adjudged insane. She was take,
there that night. This is the second
commitment, the first one being las
August. She was discharged from
the institution in February.

games and amusements are not in any
sense becoming occupations on the
Sabbath day-for Christians. The
good Lord has given us six days in
the week for work, recreation and ex-
ercise, but in regard to the Sabbath
he says: Remember the Sabbath
Day to Keep it Holy" This ought to
be decisive for all who believe in the
Christian religion. "A very good
program is under preparation for the
midsummer festival in Mr.. Edward
Magnussen's grove on the lake, FIVE
miles south of Kandiyohi. A good
dinner is to be served at small price.
On midsummer day Nature celebrates
it's high feast of the year. It has then
put on it's garb of the richest beauty
of verdure and foliage and the sun
has reached his highest point on the
horizon and everything living rejoices
and sings. It is very becoming that
we gather among the beauties of Ma

chorus in praise and thanks to the

the splendid beauties and majestic

nothing unexpected happens, to be
present and address the people. His
mission is not, as Bishop Schieles
was, to visit only Swedish Lutherans.
His mission is national. He interests
himself in all Swedes of whatever
belief and opinion. He wants to know
how his countrymen are getting along
and how they have succeeded in build
ing up for themselves home and a
livelihood in this country. All friends
and neighbors from near and afar are
cordially invited to come and hear
him, and we trust nothing will inter-

northwestern ELEVATOR BURNS.
A Midnight Blaze Results in Much Dam.
age to BuiIding-l5oo Bushels
Of Grain Stored.

About 1880 O'Clock last Friday
morning an alarm of fire was turned
in, and the slumberipg citizens awoke
to find that the large grain elevator
OF the Northwestern Elevator Co. was
in flames. Fortunately there was very
little wind blowing at the time and no
alarm was felt for the safety of other
buildings. The firemen were quick in
their response, and it was not long
before three streams of water were
turned on the tall building. The fire
seemed to have originated in the in
terror and it was with the greatest
difficulty that the fremen worked in
order to stay the progress of the
flames, which soon burst out through
the cupola. The fire was extinguished
after leaving the building in a badly
damaged state, bu it is thought it can
be repaired in spite of it's badly burned
condition.. There were about 500
bushels of oats and 1000 bushels of
wheat stored at the time. The fire did
not reach the oats, but the wheat was
damaged, mostly by smoke and water
The Office books and other valuables
in the office were saved in a scorched
condition.
Mr.. O. K. Severinson, who is the
local agent here, says that the origin
OF the fire is a mystery, as there is no
way of accounting for it. He shut
down all the machinery atfour O'Clock
and shortly after six closed up the
building for the night. This is the
third time the company has suffered
loss by fire at this point. 1t is un-
derstood that the building was about
to be removed from it's present loca-
tion, by order of the Great Northern
D. M. Robbins, who is president OF
the company, was in Willmar this
week, and the Insurance adjusters
were expected to adjust the loss today.

Remarkable Fate of an

That is a strange story Of spontan-

graphic dispatch from San Francisco
in the Rochester Post-Express to the
effect that an inebriate, attempting to
light cigar at a gas jet, his breath
caught fire, the flames burning the in
terror of the chest to a crisp. This
story is paralleled, strangely enough,
in the very interesting memoirs of
Bianchini. 1t concerns the remark
able case of combustion of the body
of the Countess Bandi, of the city of
Cessna, Italy. One evening the coun-
tess felt an unusual drowsiness and
retired early, her maid remaining with
her until she had fallen asleep. Next
morning when the girl called to
awaken her mistress she found moth

countess lying in heap in the middle
of the floor; the unconsumed portions,

Dredee Up Old Coins
From Honolulu HdrbOr.

Tourists who have found pleasure in
tossing nickels, dimes and even coins
of larger denominations into the har-
Dor waters at Honolulu from the decks
of incoming passengers steamers for
the enjoyment of watching half;naked
Hawaiian boys dive for them, may be
surprised to learn that not tithe OF
them were caught By the deft little
water dogs, and that after many ye"~-
they formed a part of the new-ma -
lands near the railway wharf.
The harbor has yielded up much of
the money that has been sent to the
bottom in this manner, through the
medium of the big suction dredger
which is now at work. The mud and
silt on the harbor bottom is sucked up
through pipes into the dredger, and is
again forced through a long chain of
pipes to the tide-water lands near the
railway wharves, where it is spread
out over a large area. Natives dis
covered some time ago that this pipe
is depositing more than ordinary har-
Dor silt. Coins of all metals, except
gold, have poured out of the mouth of
the pipe line and many Hawaiians
have profited by their long vigil there.

The captain of the dredger says that
for some time past his men have
known of the treasure thus being
brought up from the harbor, and ef-
forts were made to stop the silver flow
upon the dredger before it had
chance to get into the outflow pipe. A
box was constructed, and into this the
majority of coins sucked up have
'ropped and are easily gotten out. 1t
) seldom that an opening of the box
has not yielded up handful of nick
els, dimes and dollars of several ma
tions.
Some coins are comparatively new,
while others are more than 200 years
old. A Spanish coin dated 1855 was
found. Another, picked up recently by
Capt. Barker, bears the inscription,
Libra por la Constitution, Bolivia Re-
publica, Boliviana, 1927"
A gentleman who has known of this
silver mine stated that it is probably
the deposit of coins began during the
whaling days, when no doubt many of
the old-time coins were dropped over
board by sailors merely for the enjoy
ment of watching natives dive after
them.-Columbus Dispatch.
