Owing to the scarcity of operators,
the Hooking Valley road, 1t is report

of the night operators In the block

HAS GONE TO
HIS REWARD
B. F. Jenness Summoned by the
Angel OF Death Thursday.
Biographical Sketch.

B. F. Jenness, the old respected
citizen, died at his home at Will
mar last Thursday evening,
Aug e., at $40 o'clock. Mention
of his precarious condition from the
lingering illness was made in the

in the city of Dover, N. H., Aug.
80, 1888. He was the son Of Ma
thaniel and Lydia (Varney) Jenness.

ations, was of the old New England

the state of Maine and later en-
tered Dartmouth college, from
which he graduated at the age of
twenty-five. Like other young men
of his time, he went west. He first
taught two terms in the Baptist

Arrested for Drunkenness.

Peter Asp Of this city made an
appearance in the Willmar munich
pal court last Monday morning.
He was charged with drunkenness
and when arrested by night patrol
man Christensen he made vicious
blow at the officer and attempted
to make dash for liberty, but was
promptly floored by the officer.
However, in the scrimmage he
struck his face against the curb in
such a way as to give him a very
bad looking eye. He was brot be-
fore Judge Muller and was given
fine and costs amounting to
$3.50. The supply of liquor that
he had with him had been pur-
chased in the claw abiding" sa-
looms at Litchfield on Sunday,
which, if true, would indicate that
the lid is not as tight in our neigh
boring town as it might be.

Sunday. He has several calls to
other pastorates, but has not yet
fully decided which one he will ac-

made during all these years.
