been shot thru the breast and had
stuffed grass in the wound under
his shirt in the hope of staying the
blood. He had hung his coat on
the bushes which led to the discov-
cry of his body. 1t is thought that
he had gone to the lake to ease his
terrible wound in the lake, but had
expired and fallen into the water.
The trail led then as now the road
runs now, between the two lakes,
and the grave is marked close to
the shore of the lake near the we'll
known duck pass. Peter Anderson,
who lives nearby, assisted in get
ting the exact location of the grave.
The party mentioned also placed a
marker on the grave Of Carl P. Jo-
mason, the father of Carl J. Carl
son, who was killed about halfway
between Eagle Lake and Stewart S
cabin. Old Jonason refused to stay
in the cabin with the refugees on
the eventful evening of Aug. 20,
1862, but went down to his own
cabin on the old .Fullerville town.
site to spend the night. In the
morning when on his way to rejoin
his folks he encountered the Indi-
ans and met his fate. This grave
was landmark for a long time
and it's location was pointed out
definitely by Mr.. Osmund Lunde,
who joined the marking party at
this point. Two markers remain
to be placed-namely one to COM
memorate the graves of Bergeret
and Friedrich Olson Hagen at O: R.

son at Crook lake.

and other early pioneer expert
ences.

was in accordance with the motion
adopted at the forenoon session,
filed with the secretary.
Hon. L. O. Thorpe, who was to
speak on 1.-The Curl Endreson Mem
orial," announced that in order to
give Senator Gunderson more time
he would reserve his address to be
given at the dedication of the
monument a couple Of months later.
Senator c.. J. Gunderson of Alex
andria, the orator of the day, was
then introduced and for nearly an
hour held the close attention of the
audience while reviewing the early
pioneer days. He spoke from actual
experience of frontier life, having
come to Douglas county, Minn., in
1866, and been thru the privations
and struggles of Of those who blazed
the way for civilization and pros
perity. Gunderson is a born ora
tor, and his powerful voice is es-
pecially adapted for outdoor speak

joyed by all. The association owes
special thanks to Sen. Gunderson,
as he gave his services free of

The placing Of the historical
markers that had been provided by

remarkable features Of the dedica-
tion of this tablet was the presence
of two of the principals of the fight
which had occurred on the spot
forty-five years before, namely Os-
car Erickson and wife. The former
is in his eighty-sixth year, but is
very spry and active in spite of his
age and in spite of the serious
wound which laid him low more
than four decades ago. He was a
very interested participant in the
dedicatory visit and told his story
and pointed out the interesting
spots to those present. The old
cabin site is about fifty yards west
of the Eagle lake road on the hill
north Of the Eagle lake creek.
The grave of Carl J. Carlson was
located in the edge of the road east
from the site Of the cabin. Be-

scription is simply carl J. Carl

closed the exercises for the day, as
it was thought impracticable to visit

besides a number of business and
professional men of the city who
had received special invitation
from the club. In all, the CONNER
cial Club paid for 204 dinners.
The afternoon session was held at
the city park, which was appropri-
ately decorated for the occasion,
with flags and bunting. At the
southeast entrance of the park an
arch had been erected, bearing the
inscription, welcome, Old Set
TIERS" The club deserves special
thanks for providing plank seats
for the audience, as they were
thereby enabled to remain still dur
ing the exercises and could listen
to the speeches with comfort. It
has been the experience on all
former public gatherings at the
park that the audience soon tired of
standing still and there was a con-
tinual shifting about and a confu-
sion that prevented a large major
ity of the audience from hearing
more than brief snatches of the
speeches.
The program opened with a
couple of selections by the Willmar
Band and an invocation by Rev.
Theo. J. Paulson of the Swedish
Mission church. The president
then introduced C. B. Carlson,
mayor Of Willmar. Mr.. Carlson
has never posed as a public speaker,
and he surprised even those who
knew him best by making a very
neat and appropriate speech Of well
