sition as stenographer in the State
Bank at said place.
A number OF Warren people at
tended the picnic at E. Bystrom's
farm in Vega yesterday, and report
a very good time. There was an in
teresting musical and literary pro-
gram in the forenoon, including an
address by Rev. Mattson. An auc-
tion was held in the afternoon,
john M. Halvorson returned
from Iowa yesterday, but he left his
family to make a longer visit. He
says that the largest gathering Of
Norwegians that he has ever seenin
this country was at DEBORAH during
the recent jubilee meeting of the
synod.
The Swedish Lutheran Sunday
School will have their Children's
Day exercises and picnic in Peter
Swanson's groveat Snake onSunday
next, if the weather is fair. Teams
will be on hand at the church at 8
o'clock a.m., to take out the children
and others who may want to go.
W. D. Tripp met with an acci-
dent at the close Of the ball game
Tuesday. At the beginning Of the
rush to get away from the grounds
he rode on Mr.. Wees's dray, from
which when the wheel entered a
depression he was thrown forcibly to
the ground and stunned. One. hand
was also injured, but not seriously.
Tom Keefe, who went away from
here about five years ago to seek re-
lief from rheumatism, returned yes
terday. He spent some time at first
at the Mt. Clemens, Mich, famous
springs, and in other health resorts,
obtaining much relief. He is we'll
now, with the exception of one arm
that is still affected. He has stayed
mostly while away at Durand, Wis.
While driving home from the
picnic at Bystrom's yesterday, the
horses Of Aug. Lundgren became a
little unruly. Fearing a runaway
Mrs. Lundgren jumped out Of the
carriage with the baby and was
slightly bruised by falling on the
hard ground. Mrs. Aug. Ostlund
jumped also, but was not seriously
hurt.
The main ditch of the Judicial
Ditch has been let to John
McKinnon at IL cents per cubic
yard, and H. J. Beardmore has con-
tracted to build 5 miles branch ditch
at 103cts per cubic yard. The con
tractors have until 1904 to complete
the work, but we understand that it is
the purpose of Mr.. McKinnon to
open up this season small channel
the entire length of the ditch, so as
to give the water a clear passage
through to Red River. There re-
mains yet about 81 miles of branch
bitches to let and for which bids
are desired. " .s
Rev. A. Mattson, who has la.
bored faithfully and successfully as
the pastor of the Swedish Lutheran
congregations at Warren, Vega and
Lower Snake during the past six
years, announced his resignation at
the services held last Sunday, the
resignation to take effect three
months from date. The relation be-
tween the pastor and his congrega-
tions has always been pleasant, and
the reason he takes this step is that
falling health makes it difficult for
him to attend to the work Of: this
field. He has received a call from a
congregation at Brainerd, Mimi,
which call he will probably accept.
