Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Nov 1O-Probably the
largest crowd that has attended church
in Ellsworth in many day will be
present Sunday at the Lutheran church
1t is announced that at that time the
Rev. C. H. Hjortholm, pastor of tha
church, who, with several of the trus-
tees of his church, was refused admit
lance last week to Ellsworth's dance
hall, will have something to say that
will stir the whole village and country
side. The word has gone out that the
minister will read from his pulpit the
rames of the members of his church
who were present at the dance hall the
evening he and his trustees were re-
fusd admittance.
The dance row in Ellsworth has
reached an acute stage. 1T had its in
ception a month or so ago when Rev.
Mr.. Hjortholm, in the course of his
duty, as he saw the MATTER publicity
denounced the dance hall from his pull
pit In so d,ing he named by name =.
=. Anderson and Editor Satter, of the
EllsWo rth News, proprietors Of the hail.
He reached the climax of his denun-
citation of the dance evil when he threw
off his coat and asked that he be shot
thru the breast if such sacrifice would
stop dancing in Ellsworth. This attack
was followed by defense of Ellis
worth's dance hall BY Editor Satter ir,
his paper and since that time the dance
people eand the anti-dance people have
had it hot and heavy back and forth
thru the Ellsworth News.
The last dance at the hall was a pr
vate affair held last week. The Rev.
Mr.. Hjortholm had announced his in
tention of attending the next function in
person for the purpose of learning
which of his Pensioners were dancing
people. He was accompanied by sew
eral Of the church trustees and all We're
refused admitance by the dance hall
priprietors. This caused bitter clash
and it is reported profanity was di-
recteG against the pastor. No church
services We're held in Ellsworth the
| following Sunday, but next Sunday the
Rev. Mr.. Hjortholm will preach and a
sensation is promised. The pastor has
made a thorough investigation and re-
ports have it that he will read from the
pulpit the names of his parishioners
who attended the last dance in Ellis
worth. Interest In Sundays church
services Is at white heat and it Is
likely the church will not hold the
crowd which will clamor for admit.
