"REMINISCENCES
Custaf Johnson's Experiences
in Early Days of County.

Four years ago, when the writer
was engaged in compiling the His
tory of Kandiyohi County, we had
the pleasure of having several in
terviews with Mr.. johnson, and the
following are some Of the reminis-
cences which he gave at that time:
In 1856 two acquaintance of Mr..
Johnson, Lund and Thelander, had
gone west and taken land at Swede
Grove in Meeker county. They
had written to their friends and
advised them to come out and take
land. In the summer of 1857 a
company consisting Of John and Da-
vid johnson, Gustaf johnson and
Sven Youngren started out to ex-
plore the western country. They
were not content to stop in Meeker
county, but pushed farther west,
arriving at the Kandiyohi lakes.
At the place where the townsite of
Kandiyohi had been surveyed the
previous year they found person
in charge, who had a shanty built
in the edge of the natural grove
upon the hill where John Wicklund
now lives. This person, who was
holding down the townsite, was
about thirty years of age and was
splendid shot with the rifle
Imagine the surprise of the settler:
when afterwards they learned that
this lone inhabitant of Kandiyoh
was woman in disguise!

SAFE CRACKSMEN
VISIT BELGRADE

As the people of our quiet village
were wrapt in peaceful slumbers in
the early hours of Wednesday morn
ing, bold burglars broke into the
post office and the hardware store
of Olson and Iverslie and succeeded
in wrecking two safes with nitro
glycerine and making off with fifty
dollars extracted from the post
office strong box. The first one to
discover the burglary was Henry
Christopherson, clerk at the hard
ware store. Upon opening the
store in the morning he found the
back door had been pried open and
the large safe shattered and one
door hanging by the hinges.
Nothing was taken from this safe
as the burglars did not succeed in
getting the other door open and
probably gave up their effort from
lack of time. The job in the post
office, however, was complete. The
door of the safe was blown COM
pletely off it's hinges and the ada
cent and opposite walls badly shat
tered by flying pieces of iron and
mortar. AS near as can be ascer-
tained at the present writing about
$50 in cash was taken from this
safe.
Two we'll dressed men who drove
in from Sauk Center shortly after
dinner Tuesday, interviewed sever
al merchants, passing themselves
off as agents, were doubtless the
men who did the work. At any
rate their description tallies very
closely to that of Moody and Burns,
for whose detection 800 reward is
now being offered, for burglaries
perpetrated at various places thru
out the state. No trace of the
men, so far, has been found. BEL
