FALLS DEAD
FROM SLEIGH
l. P. 0wre, an Early Settler Of
Lake Lillian, Died While
DrivinQ 70 Creamery.

Lorentz P. Owre, one of the early
settlers of East Lake Lillian, met
with a sudden death on Tuesday of
last week. He started from his
home about 10 o'clock on a trip to
the store at Thorpe. He was never
to reach his destination. however,
but his team came rushing in to the
Thorpe creamery without a driver.
There was great deal Of excite
ment, as it was thought that some
accident had occurred in connection
with the runaway. The body of
Mr.. Owre was found not far from
the starting point and life was ex-
tinct. A doctor was summoned
from Bird Island in post haste, and
after examination, he found that
death had been caused by apoplexy.
He had, no doubt, been stricken
while driving. and, falling from the
wagon, had frightened the horses.
It was known that he had been a
sufferer from heart disease and a
couple of years ago had suffered a
light stroke.
The deceased was born at Troms0,
Norway, about 78 years ago. He
came to Lake Lillian in 1868. He
leaves wife and five daughters
Mrs. Stromme L. johnson and Mrs.
Mary Anderson, both of Lake
Lillian; Mrs. J. A. Giantvalley. St.
Paul; Mrs. j. P. Hegler of New
York City and Miss Clara Owre OF
Minneapolis. He is also mourned
by brother, Hans P. Owre, who
lives in western Canada. Mr.. Owre
took a leading part in public affairs
in his district, as the records from
the two Lake Lillian township!
amply testify. In 1871 he headed
the petition for the establishment
of a township organization for Lake
Lillian. He served as Justice Of
the Peace almost continuously since
the township was organized, ant
was the acting postmaster for man.

Boy Is Found.

Walter Sherman, the 13 year old
boy who disappeared from Big
Stone county last April and whom
the papers have been helping to
find, has been heard from in south
|ern Missouri, and is expected home
this week. He rode from Prior to
Clinton on his pony and then took
the train for Minneapolis, where
all trace of him was lost. His
escapade was prompted by reading
dime novels about boys who had
run away, and he resolved to try it.
He is no doubt as glad to get back
home as his parents are to get him.
