Ihe many friends Of Anna Err
landson were saddened last Satur-
day when they received the intelli-
gence that she had passed away in
death Friday evening at half past
six, at the residence in the First
ward of the city of Willmar.
Miss Erlandson was taken i'll last
fall with rheumatic fever. Her
heart became affected, which led to
the fatal result above noted.
Anna Mathilda Erlandson was
born in the Township of Mamre,
Feb. 5, 1880. Her parents, who
both survive her, are Mr.. and Mrs.
J. A. Erlandson. The deceased
grew up to womanhood in the par

1896 by Rev. A. F. Nelson, being a
member of the Swedish Lutheran
Church. For number of years
she was engaged as cashier at the
store of Peterson & Wellin. She
was an accomplished young lady,
with many lovable traits. Besides
the mourning parents she leaves
three brothers, Erick, Albert and
David, and three sisters, Marie,
Lydia and Mrs. Emma Ostlund.
They have the heartfelt sympathy
of large circle of friends in their
bereavement. Since coming to
Willmar the deceased has been an
active member of the Young Peo-
ple's society of the Bethel church.
The funeral occurs next Friday.
Today the residence in First ward

FLlMFIAMNllNG GYP-
SIZES MUST DlSGORGE

A band OF Gypsies numbering
about so were in Willmar last
Wednesday on their way to Fargo,
N. D., from thence to continue to
Winnipeg, Manitoba. While here,
two of the women f1eeced three par
ties of sums of money aggregating
about $50. Under the guise of for
tune tellers, they induced the par
ties concerned to hand over some
money which it was necessary for
them to hold in their hands before
they could come into communion
with the spirits. Only a part of
the money handed them was re-
turned, and by threatening black
mail they succeeded in getting
away unmolested. But the next
day Sheriff Bonde was notified, and
he at once hit the Gypsy trail, 10.
eating part of the band between
Pennock and Kerkhoven. Finding
no one there answering the given
descriptions, he drove to DeGraff
where a second squad had squatted.
Neither could he find the ones he
wanted there, whereupon, thinking
that possibly the first group had
hidden the guilty parties, he re.
turned thither. His surmise
proved correct. The two guilty
ones had been secreted during the
first visit of the sheriff, but as they
had no time to put them away
again, the officer of the law had nc
trouble in searching them out upon
his second call. At first they swore
absolute innocence, and even threat.
ened him with "black spirits," but
the wicked sheriff cared a whit fol
neither, being concerned only about
the cash. And he got it. After .
little explanation as to what woulC
happen in case they didn't produces
the money, they decided to comply
with the sheriff's request, and fol-
lowing little Hunting bee" th<
amount specified was handed over
The next time that band goes thru
here-if they can't find any othel
route-they will not stop even Ions
enough to find out the name of tht
town, to say nothing of indulginl
in any "sleight-of-hand" fortune
telling.
