Stole an overcoat.

/ A man named Carl Jensen was in
the city last Thursday en- route for
Bowbells, N. D. After awakening
from a drowsy spell in the waiting
room of the depot, he found that
his overcoat that had been lying on
the seat was missing. He prompt
ly notified the sheriff. The fast
time freight for Sioux Falls was
just pulling out and the same was
tagged at Priam by Chris Birke-
land. No coat was found, but two
suspicious characters got off and
walked to Raymond. Here they
were held until the sheriff arrived
on the passenger. Bonde's earnest
talk soon convinced one of the gents
that it was no fooling matter, and
he confessed that he had taken the
coat, but had hidden it at Willmar.
He accompanied the sheriff back to
Willmar and found the coat where
he had hidden it in a coal car.
Jensen was mighty glad to secure
the return of the coat. The arrest
ed man said his name was Jim Muir.

come out into the sunlight with the

CALLED TO
THEIR REWARD
Rev. ]. A. Johnson and Mrs. J0hl
Wicklund Both Pass AyNay
Saturday Evening.

Rev. J. A. johnson, a retired M.
E. minister, who lived at 625 Sixth
street south, died last Saturday
evening at seven o'clock.
John A. johnson was born April
13, 1886, in Stora Aby parish. Os-
terg0tland, Sweden. While yet a
youth he moved to Stockholm,
where he was converted and joined
the newly organized Methodist con-
gregation, of which he became the
first local preacher. Dec. 26, 1858.
he was married to Miss Augusta
Lindberg, the faithful wife who
now survives him. The union was
blessed with four children, all of
whom are dead.
Rev. johnson came to this coun-
try in 1869. He labored for a time
in the eastern states until in 1874,
when he was called to become the
pastor of the young Methodist con-
gregation Of Minneapolis. Since
that time he has served the congre-
cations of Vasa, Atwater, 1877 to
1880, Murdock, Kandiyohi 1885,
1887, and Ortonville. He was or
dained as deacon by Bishop Ames
in St. Paul in 1874 and ordained as
elder by Bishop Peck in Galesburg
in 1877. A few years ago he was
obliged to retire from the ministry
and settled on farm near Orton-
vile. Three years ago he moved
to Willmar and has lived here since
that time, occasionally assisting in
the local M. E. church.
The funeral occurs today. Ser
vices will be held at the local M. E..
church at 10:30 O'Clock. Rev. A.

CLUB MEETS
Interesting Discussion Of Tele-
phone Question Precipita-
ted Last Niqh qht.
At the monthly meeting of the
Commercial Club held last evening
five new members were elected,
viz, Elias Rachie, Peter Bonde,
C. A. Nelson, John Lundquist and
A. c. Skoog. President Wellin re-
ported an action taken in regard to
invitation to the congressional con-
vention to be held at Willmar April
Is. There was some discussion as
to advertising matter to be pre-
pared by the club for the city Of
Willmar. An interesting discus
sion on the telephone question was
precipitated when motion was made
to have a committee appointed to
interview the Northwestern Tele-
phone Co. to ascertain the facts"
regarding the telephone controversy
and to see if some compromise
could not be effected. This motion
was opposed by Editor Lawson,
who thought that an interference
in the matter in this wav by the
Commercial Club was not wise, and
offered to substitute a resolution
endorsing the spirit shown in the
council and pledging the co-opera-
tion of the club in the organization
of a new company. The members
of the council present Aldermen
Holt and Tallman-expressed them
selves in favor Of the movement
and thought that it would not inter-
fere with the plans of the council.
The latter gentleman made some re-
markable statements, along which
was that he believed that Ordinance
No. 60 guaranteed to the Northwest
ern Co. the use of the streets of
Willmar because he, himself, had
paid a lawyer 500 in order to make
sure that it would be good. At
the same time he stated that there
had been no intention at the time
of operating the local exchange un-
der the ordinance. He also stated
that he did not believe it was the
intention of the local exchange to
raise rates. Senator Thorpe, as
usual, was on hand to plead for the
telephone interests and he stated
that he thought it would be wrong
in principle to destroy the value of
the present telephone system by or
ganizing a competing company.
He believed the matter should be
left entirely to the courts. Mayor
Carlson made the most practical
suggestion of the evening in the
matter. He expressed himself in
favor of the city condemning the
present plant and operating the sys-
tenn. This would obviate the diff
Guilty of two exchanges. The Trib-
une editor said amen to this
suggestion. Alderman Tallman
promptly tried to discourage this
idea, his motive being solicitude
for the tax payers of the city. He
incidentally made some disparaging
remarks about the present munich.
pal plant and said he believed that
it might be better if it were in pri.
vate hands. This was a significant
statement, as it is quite generally
known that the plant during the
last two or three years has not only
taken care of itself, but has saved
the situation in the general city
finances. When the vote was TAX
en-, Lawson's substitute was lost
and the motion to appoint a com
promise committee was passed
The president appointed to act with
him upon the committee T. O. Gil
bert, L. o. Thorpe, A. E. Rice anG
C. w. Odell. The two latter gen
tlemen were not present.
