resumed his run on the Morris

pulling his train into the Valley he

When the time came for calling
the citizens mass meeting to order
at the Bonde Hall last Friday even
ing, there was a crowd in attend
ance that completely filled the hall
and entrances to the building.
Everybody was expecting some ex-
citement and warm discussion, but
in this they were disappointed.
Word had been passed around among
the transient railroad men to be on
hand and to assist in the nomina-
tion of ''Tallman for mayor. At a
later hour, however, the plans were
changed and for some reason his
name was not presented. Gov. Rice
sprung a surprise in the nomination
of Hans S. Peterson, the Second
ward alderman, who has made a
good record in the last council and
on the telephone committee. There
was no candidate named against
him and he was given the nomina-
tion for mayor by acclamation.
Mayor Carlson would no doubt have
been given the compliment of a
unanimous denomination had he not
positively refused to take the office
again.
The meeting was called to order
by C. A. Birch, who read the call.
On motion Of W. J. Pinney, S. B.
Qvale was elected chairman of the
meeting. Gov. Rice then moved
that the meeting proceed with the
nomination Of city officers. DR..
johnson moved as substitute that
a committee on resolutions be ap.
pointed. This was agreed to and
the chairman appointed DR.. John.
son, Russell Spicer and Erick Holt
as such committee. The meeting
then proceeded with the nomina
tions. Gov. Rice then nominated
Hans S. Peterson for mayor and he
was named by acclamation. L. O.

city treasurer and he was placed il
nomination by acclamation. Ham

MAMRE CITIZEN
CALLED AWAY
Death Claims Alfred Hollnqren
After q Brief Illness of
Only Ten Days

The sad news was received in
Willmar last Friday of the death
Of the prominent Mamre citizen,
Alfred H,lmgren. His death was
caused by pneumonia complicated

this country in company with his
parents, Joseph and Christine

The family settled on farm in Sec
tion II, town of Mamre, and after
the death of the father number of
years ago Alfred became the owner
of the home farm and has lived
there ever since. On May "a, 1895,
