friends in Kiron this week.

A most pleasant surprise was tend
cred Selma Carlson at her home on
Thursday afternoon by number Of
members of the Mission church and
other friends. Rev. Frank Levine in
q few words explained why the COM
pany so unceremoniously invaded her
home and at the close presented her
with sum of money as token of
appreciation of her service as organ
ist at the Mission Church. A pleasant
social afternoon was spent.
Another pleasant surprise took
place on Thursday evening, when a
large company of friends marched in
to the c. A. Dolk's home and took
Mrs. Dolk completely by surprise.
who was the subject of the occasion.
she having passed her Goth birthday
and her guests came to celebrate the
event. Rev. F. A. Laune. Mayor G.
A. Norelius and John Cedargren
made short speeches, after which a
lunch was served. The evening most
pleasantly rolled by. and the guests
left fine clock to help Mrs. C. A.
Dolk remember their visit and her
thirtieth birthday.
Mrs. John Bjork who has been
staying at the home her brother
Peter Miller in town SO as to be un-
der the Doctors care slipped out Of
the house unnoticed on Sunday even
ing. A search was made for her
but she was not found. She being
thlnly clad and feeble from her pro-
longed siege of sickness it was feared
that if not found she would fall ex-.
hausted and freeze to death. The fire
bell was rung and a crowd soon gath
cred and securing lanterns a search
was made when she was found none
the worse for the time being, out in
the cold air. On Monday she was
taken to her home and is glad to be
back with her family again.
Kiron received her holiday treat
last Wednesday evening in the form
of concert given by Miss Garrett
Norman of Denison. assisted by Mil
dred Larson and Edna Winans from
the Denison college and Miss Edna
Hoaglund and local male quartette
consisting of Messrs. Nathan Sthran,
P. c. Lawrence. E. H. Mauritz
and Chas. j. Larson. The hall was
filled with an audience that showed its
appreciation of the various numbers
by storm of handclapping which on
two or three occasions would not cease
until the performer reappeared and
gave them some of the same kind.
All Miss Normans numbers were fine
but the hooking Bird seemed to
bring the house down. But her rem
dition of 'tThe Sweet Girl Graduate"
and Patsy showed that she could
not only whistle wonderfully but i'm
personate most perfectly. Misses
Larson and Wlnans played three very
fine duets on the piano. The quartette
sang two numbers and when encored
came back and sang one of their own
composition which seemed to touch
most everybody's funny bone. This
was the best entertainment that has
been given in the hall since the APP
pearance of the Oak Quartette. and
many expressed the opinion that as
an impersonator. Miss Norman excell-
ed the Oaks reader. Her whistling
ability is something wonderful and it
is treat to have the opportunity of
listening to the same. Should she see
fit to honor Kiron with future en-
gagement. she can come assured of
full and appreciative house. And
finally we expect to hear from Miss
Norman in the future in way that
will show the world the falsity of
that old couplet, about ga whistling
girl and Growing hem.
Ed. Miller came to Kiron in the
afternoon on New Years day and UNI
der the influence of liquor proceeded
to have things his own way. He
was kindly urged to go home but re-
fused to do SO and in very ugly way,
tried to do up the peace officers who
finally landed him in the cooler where
an opportunity was afforded him to
sober up. His aroused spirit was not
at rest while in behind the bars. but
proceeded to demolish the bed and
with piece of the same he managed
to reach the stove and got the piece
on fire and soon had one of the walls
of the room on fir. Lucky it was for
him that Marshal Dolk happened to
look into see how he was getting along
and discovered the fire which was
quickly put out. Had the fire got a
better Roadway both Miller and the
cooler would have faxed the worst.
The next morning he was taken be-
fore the mayor and held for disturb
ing the peace and bound over to the
grand jury on the charge of arson.
