Sheriff R. S. Robson.

The news that Sheriff r. S. Roll
son had passed away came to very
many Of the citizens of this county
as a thunder clap in clear sky.
Thought to be man of unusually
vigorous physical powers, his sud-
den death, after brief illness, was
so unexpected that many could not
at first credit the report. There
was a general feeling of sorrow at
the announcement and hence at the
funeral ceremonies held on Monday
last very large concourse of
friends were present.
The services were held at eleven
o'clock a. m. at the Presbyterian
church. Rev. Mr.. West preaching
the funeral sermon. The church
was not nearly large enough to con-
tain the people who were present,
but many fingered on the outside to
hear what they could.
Mr.. Robson being member of the
Commandery, delegation Of
Knights Templars and Masons
came from Hudson and River Falls
to aid in rendering the last tokens
of respect to the memory of their
departed brother. More than fit
teen Masons went from this city and

Old Settlers Day in Baldwin.

The annual meeting of the Old
Settlers was held this year at Bald
win on Thursday Of last week. The
day was a fine one and a great
many people living in the vicinity
of that village took the occasion for
a gala day. A few went from River
Falls and more from Hudson, but
most of the people came from the
farms and villages nearer by.
The people of Baldwin evidently
intended to give a generous greet
ing 10 their visitors and they sue
ceeded. A liberal sum was con-
tributed by the business men and
elaborate program prepared.
The morning was given over
more particularly to the Society Of
the Old Settlers, the first feature of
the program being an overture by
the Baldwin band to call the people
together. Following this a pro-
cession was formed, intended to
typify the old and the new. The
procession was led by goat har-
messed to a small wagon and led by
his owner. Following this came an
OK team with some of the older resi-
dents for passengers, after which
followed old style reapers and now
ers, float with men using fails,
another with cradles, after which
came the most modern kinds of ag-
ricultural machinery, automobiles
bringing up the rear. After the pa
rade Ethe crowd gathered in the
beautiful little park near the station
and listened to brief but pithy ad-
dress by Hon. ]. E. Glover, himself
one of the real Old Settlers. His
"reminiscences Of typical scenes Of
pioneer days was we'll received.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
Church Society provided at very
reasonable rate fine dinner for
those who came unprovided, while
around the lawns, in every direc-
ton, could be seen the picnickers
taking their noon lunch with evil
dent enjoyment.
At two p. m. the business meeting
of the association was held, at
which were chosen the following Of
ficers for the ensuing year:
John E. Glover, Pres; S. Sven
umsen, Geo. w. Chinook and Ezra
Healy, Vice Presidents; John o.
Chinook, Secretary; Oril- Lord,
Treasurer.
The fun commenced Immediately
after the close of the business
meeting, including fat mans race,
sack races, wheelbarrow race, etc.,
after which came lively base ball
game between Martell and Baldwin,
The people of Baldwin evidently
determined upon at least two things:
first, to give all good time, and
they did, and second, to get a
crowd and they got it, for the streets
were filled with people, all evidently
