Pants CreaSer i'm Trouble.

A young man who worked for a
short while at the Ekander tailor
shop was given test of his honesty
Wednesday Of last week, and failed.
Andrew Nordloef had brought in a
pair Of pants to the shop to be
pressed, forgetting to take out a
fve-dollar bill which was lying
folded away in the watch pocket.
Later when he remembered his
money search was made and the
young man above mentioned, who
had done the job Of pressing, was
questioned, but claimed to have
seen nothing of the bill. Andrew
thought himself probably to have
been mistaken, but Mr.. Ekander
was not satisfied and a little detec-
tive work was instituted. A five
dollar bill which the suspect had
traded in at the cigar counter, Mr..
Nordloef was able to identify, ow-
ing to certain peculiarities in it, as
the one in question, and when the
pants presser was confronted by An
drew and Deputy Sheriff Crawford
just as he was about to take the
train for his home in Minneapolis,
he "caved in.' Andrew let him
off by the return of the amount,
five dollars.

An Alleged Hold-up.

Quite stir was created yester-
day among the railroad boys when
the sheriff of Swift county came
down from Benson and arrested
Frank Cleary, a well-known brake
man here, on a hold-up charge.
1t seems that a drunken man had
climbed into the caboose of the
freight train on which young Cleary
was working. and was put off by
the train crew at DeGraff. He
claimed that the brakeman had
taken his money, amounting to over
forty dollars, from him, and ac-
cordingly the sheriff was sent down
and young Cleary taken to Benson.
The train crew claims that the
charge against the brakeman is
groundless and are ready to exoner-
ate Mr.. Cleary. They claim that
the man was too intoxicated to
know whether he was the owner of
forty dollars or that many cents,
and lay the cause of the whole cpl
sode to too much whisky.

MUSTERED OUT
Early Norwegian Pioneer and
Civil War Veteran Answers
Deaths Budle Call.

Osmund Lunde, an old and high
ly respected citizen of the town of
Dovre, passed away on Friday of
last week from an attack of pneu-
monia. Deceased was born on the
seventh day Of May, 1927, at Vinje,
Telemarken, Norway, and was one
the earliest Norwegian emigrants
who came to colonize in America,
having come here with his father
in the early part of the forties
when but fourteen years Of
age. The parents first settled in
Wisconsin, and many are the stories
of hardships and experinces which
the old gentleman was wont to re-
late incident to those early days.
During these first years Mr.. Lunde
spent much of his time in the log
ging camps. He visited the Gulf
states and roved around considera-
bly, when the middle states were
yet the advance ground of civiliza-
tion. He used to tell about how
they used to have to haul their crop
40 miles with oxen to Milwaukee, the
nearest trading point; how at one
time they were unable to sell their
wheat and rather than haul the
grain back again so far, dumped
it in the river.
In the fifties he came to Dako-
ia county, this state. When the
rebellion broke out he enlisted in
Co. D, Eleventh Minnesota, and
served until he was mustered out
in 1865. In 1866 he came to Kandi-
yohi county, and took land in
Dovre township, where he has lived
ever since.
Mr.. Lunde was known as Zine
old man, Of an honest and upright
character of a genial disposition,
and of a very generous nature.
He had no children, but leaves a
wife.
The funeral took place yesterday
at 2::30 o'clock from the Eagle Lake
church, Rev. Gynild officiating.

been located at Delano, where the
officer went and fetched him.
