Gust Lind purchased a half interest
IN the blacksmith shop in which he
formerly owned an interest at

who came to Kiron Sunday afternoon
to attend the Selma Bloom funeral
we noted Col. A. S. Tessquist.
Clauson Bros. had one of their
white horses killed ON Friday night
by running into barbed wire fence
and cutting his throat. A jackass
roaming the street was the cause of
the trouble. There is heavy fine
for letting animals of this kind run at
large. but some people seem to think
they can disregard laws and rights of
others.
| The temperance lecture by Capt.
Brown at the Kiron hall was attended
by very large audience. He gave
strong anti saloon speech and one
that will surely count in favor of the
prohibition party on the day of
election.
Oliver Larson and Anna Tellgren
have filled the position as hello
girls at the telephone central in the
absence of the Bloom sisters. who
were called home to the bedside of
their sister Selma. The work has
been new and trying and the girls
have worked hard to do their level
best to master the complicated key
boards. All should have patience,
knowing the circumstances and we'll
guarantee that very few would have
been as successful in filling the duties
required as the girls have been.
The entire community has been
saddened by the untimely death of
Miss Selma Bloom which occurred at
her home north of Kiron on Friday
afternoon. For some time she has
been sufferer which developed into
serious nature and on Friday it was
found necessary to have an operation
performed, but being to weak to uD-
dergo the operation, she kept failing
until at the evening hour her spirit
was released from it's earthly home.
The death of this esteemed person has
brought deep sorrow and gloom into
her home; among her large circle of
| friends and acquaintance. For
long time she was the faithful and
obliglug hello girl at Kiron and at
which time she became acquainted
with large majority of Kiron pep
pie. Selma Josephine Bloom was
born in Ida county, April /. 1883. and
after three weeks illness died at the
age of 25 years.3 months and l6 days.
She leaves father. mother, four
brothers. two sisters and large
circle of friends to mourn her death.
The funeral which occurred on Sum
day afternoon was attended by very
large number. the number being es-
timated at over eight hundred A very
brief service was held at the home,
when the procession of nearly a mile
long formed. followed the remains to
the Lutheran church. where funeral
services were conducted. Long be-
fore the procession reached the church
the church was filled. The services
were conducted by Rev. j. A. Chris
tianson which was most solemn
and impressive. At the close of the
services GAS persons by actual count
filed by the white casket to take q
last look on the face of their depart
ed friend. The large floral offering
was very nice and bore testimony to
