it was found. Access to the boat

PROMINENT CITIZEN
X. F. Backlund, Stricken with Ap.
oplexy Wednesday, Dies the
Following Day.

The community of Kandiyohi
was thrown into state of anxiety
last Wednesday morning when it
was learned that K. F. Backlund
president Of the village of Kandi-
yohi and highly respected citizen,
had been stricken with apoplexy
and a gloom Of sorrow spread over
the whole community when on the
next day, Thursday, it was learned
that the illness had proven fatal
and that their honored townsman
had passed from the living. Mr..
Backlund arose Wednesday morning
the same as usual and was on his
way out to the barn when, without
a moments warning, he was bereft
of consciousness and control of his
limbs, falling backwards to the
ground. He was carried into the
house and medical aid was called.
Everything possible was done to
bring him back to life, but it
proved fruitless. Death had got
the stronger hold and he lay in an
unconscious state until he passed
away the next morning at four
o'clock.
