A report reaches this Office to the
effect that q young farmer near Olivia
was found early on q Sunday morn
ing during the intense cod spell, so
badly frozen that he lost both legs
and also . hand. The report says

started for home quite late without his
team. He was picked up not far from

The team which the young man had
used was found by the village marshal
on one OF the streets, where it had
stood nearly all night in the bitter
cold, and shelter was at once provided
for the beasts. Our informant is un-
able to give US the name OF the un-
fortunate victim who through his
strong desire for drink Jared so bad
ly, but he understands that he Is q
young man Of about % years OF age.
We understand that the affair termin-

chronicled another sad ending as the
result of drink.

To Her Final Resting Place.

The following obituary on the death
OF Miss Hunter is taken from the
North1eld News of last Saturday:
Just 40 the light OF the beautiful
morning OF January q, 1904, dawned
upon this earth, the dawn of eternity
broke upon the vision of Maggie Hun
ter, and after months OF patient suffer.
ing she was at rest in the home for
which she had lonxed.
Maggie May Hunter was the younger
daughter Of Mr.. and Mre. w. N. Hun.
tor sndswas born April 81: 1873, sor
the farm which she dearly loved and
where she died.
In June 1897, Miss Hunter was grad.
uated from the Northdeld high school
and after teaching two years In q dis
tr1ct school near her home, she attend.
ed the Mankato Normal school from
which she graduated in 1900. The fol.
lowing year she taught at Arlington,
going from there to Willmar, where
she served as teacher in the, graded
school for two years. She was en-
gagged for third year but God had
planned higher work for her. When
she came home for her vacation last
June she was not we'll and consump.
tion developed during the summer.
All that human skill and love could
prompt was done, but of no avail.
Quietly but surely the disease did its
work until God said, "It is enough;
{ ONE hOme.'
Though life had stretched out bright.
ly before her, a. to all the young,
she was resigned to Gods will and
trustfully believed that his way was
best, and not only willingly but glad.
ly bade farewell to the things Of earth
and went forth to be forever with the
Savior who had been her strength and
comfort. Only q few hours before her
death she sang In sweet clear voice,
"We'u wait and watch and wonder,
till Jesus cOmes.'
As q teacher Miss Hunter was very
successful and was dearly loved by
her pupils wherever she taught.
For twelve years she was faithful
member of the Methodist church and
q cheerful worker in the Sabbath
School and Epworth League.
The funeral, which occurred on Sat-
urday was largely attended. Rev. F.
A. Cone officiated and interment tool
place In Oaklawn cemetery, North.
fleld.
Besides q host of friends and q large
number of relatives there remain he,
father, mother, one sister and four
brothers to mourn the loss of the
bright young life.

limited. His talk was both instructive
and interesting and was delivered in

audience showed their appreciation
by lively applause when the gentle
man had finished.
