DEATH OF PIONEER
Honored Member of Early from.
soc Colony at Lake Lillian
Gone 10 His Reward.

Fahlun, Oct. 8.-Last Saturday
morning, Oct. 5, at two o'clock, at
the home of his son Minus Nelson,
occurred the death of Sedevart
Nelson, an old and respected citizen
of the town of Fahlun. Death was
due to cerebral hemorrhage and old
age.
Sedevart Nelson was born in
Balsfjord, Troms0 Amt, Norway,
March %, 1888, thus being "a
years 6 months an 7 days of age at
the time Of his death. He emf
grated to America in 1862 and set
tied at St. Peter, MINI. Tv,
years later he came to Fahlun,
where he has lived ever since. He
was one of the earliest settlers of
this town.
He was united in marriage in
1866to Mrs. Sarah Hanson, who sur
wives him. Four children were
born to them, namely. Hemming
S., of Atwater; Minus E., of Fab.
lun; Mrs. Sena Frederickson of
Harrison, who died two years ago,
and Mrs. Swan Anderson of Hacken-
sack, MINI. Besides these, he
leaves five step-children and other
relatives.
Mr.. Nelson was man of Chris
tian principles, a kind neighbor,
and was respected by all who were
acquainted with him. The surviv-
ing members of the family have the
sympathy Of all in their bereave-
ment.
The funeral occurred on Monday

A FAKE ASSAULT
A False Accusation Leads to De,
tentiOn of Strangers al
Clara City.

Last Thursday afternoon about
4 80 o'clock Sheriff Bonde received
a telephone message from Raymond
stating that a certain resident of
that locality had been held up by
three strangers. The alleged hold
up was said to have taken place at
1870 in the forenoon, two miles
east of Raymond, about 20 rods
from the Day farm house. No
money, it is said, was secured by
the highwaymen. A description of
two of the men was given the sheriff
and he did not let the grass grow
under his feet in endeavoring to To-
cate the criminals. Two men an
swering the description were To-
Gated at Clara City, where they
were held by the local authorities.
When the hold-up victim learned
of the two mems arrest at Clara
City he began to ''back water and
begged the sheriff to drop the mat
ter. Putting this and that togther
the officers came to the conclusion
that the so-called hold-up took place
only in the bemuddled mind of the
man, who probably fell from the
wagon while under the influence of
some of Raymond's booze. He had
stated that one Of the hold-up mer
had approached him on the right
side and struck his arm, and Wher
asked to show the arm presented
his left. He also said that he hao
fred two shots after the men anC
when asked to show the pistol he
said that he had lost it.
It seems that the mans team hac
been picked up along the road later
by the mail carrier.
The men in custody at Clara City
were ordered released, and the
officers returned home, feeling that
the mans ''brain storm had made
them the victims of false alarm
or the objects Of practical joke.

HALBOM-GABRIELSON.

The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Halbom on the shores of beautiful
Diamond lake was the scene of a
double festivity last Monday, Mr..
and Mrs. Halbom celebrated the
25th anniversary of their marriage
and also gave their eldest daughter
Rose in marriage to Carl A. Gabri-
elson, oldest son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Gabrielson of Kandiyohi.
About two hundred relatives from
far and near had been invited to
help the old as we'll as the young
couple celebrate this important day
in the family history.
Shortly after noon the guests be-
gan to arrive and were received by
the host and hostess. At two
o'clock the bridal party descended
the stairs and entered the parlor to
the strains Of a wedding march
played by Mrs. A. G. Hall. They
were awaited by Rev. A. G. Hall,
who read the marriage service to
the young couple standing under
an arch of green from which was
suspended a wedding bell. They
were attended by Esther Gabriel
son, a sister Of the groom, and as
maid Of honor, and Fred Halbom,
a brtoher Of the bride, as best man
Ida Hall. daughter of Rev. and Mrs,
Hall, as bridesmaid, and Romie
Gabrielson, brother of the groom
as groomsman.
The modest young bride in he1
gown Of dotted net over white sill
with a veil held in place by ;
wreath of roses and smilax, an(
carrying a large bouquet of bride'
roses, was the ideal of all, and none
but felt that the happy groom wa
indeed fortunate in winning th'
affections of Rose, who is favorit,
among old and young.
The brides attendants wor'
white Persian lawn and the groom
and attendants wore the conven
tional black.
After the marriage ceremony tn
happy young couple received tn
congratulations and best wishes 0
all present, as did also the olde
couple who plighted their trot
twenty-five years ago. The after
noon was spent in a social way an
many old acquaintance were re
newed as relatives and friends fro1
far and near met there to celebrat
this happy event.
The home had been beautiful
decorated for the occasion and tn
parlor and dining room were fe'
: tooned in red and white with flow
lers and potted plants. At half pa

THE WAY THE WIND BLOWS

The city editor of the Willmar
Gazette makes a weekly trip to
Kandiyohi village to write up the
news Of that place. The following
item appeared in his last contribu-
tion, which is as near as he has
ever come to mentioning the beer
house invasion Of that village.
This is a straw which shows plainly
enough which way the wind blows
at the Gazette office:
indications at the present time
point to no serious struggle in viii
lage affairs in the next spring elec-
tion. Indeed. there are not the
slightest indications that the ques-
tion of license and saloon regula-
'ion will be voted upon. The viii
1age has no saloons and as tar ga is
known no effort has been made to
run blind pig and no trouble has
ever been experienced from such a
source since the town was incorpor-
ated. 1t is believed that ten votes
in favor Of saloons could not be
found in the village. Unless pres
ent sentiment changes locally the
election in Kandiyohi next year will
bring no change. All the alarm
that is manifest seems to be in
other towns from which Kandiyohi
draws business just now, and by
agitators who have never been
known to have made personal sue
cess Of their business in the past
but who are making frantic efforts
to butt into other peoples business.
Kandiyohi people will probably con-
duct their own business to suit
themselves even in municipal mat
ters. -
The significance of the above
item will be appreciated when the
reader understands that vote must
be taken to rid the village of the
wholesale beer house.

In Municipal Court.

Five young Willmar boys, caught
by Chief Of Police Gilbertson last
Sunday night for having broken an
electric street lamp on Sixth street,
were brought before Judge Muller
of the municipal court la It Monday.
The youngsters plead guilty and
were ordered by the court to ap-
pear at 10 o'clock next Tuesday,
when their sentence will be read
In the mean time, the judge state,
they will be expected to pay the
city for the damage done. Break
ing the city's lamps is a mean
prank, which some of the boys have
been indulging in on several occa-
sions in the past. The young cul-
prits should be made to respect
public property.

accident some time ago. He was

tree when he fell and broke his leg

gentleman's advanced age, the pro-

slow and at one time blood poison
was feared, but according to last
