Don't ask the editor to, write up or
rebuke all evils In the town or com:
munity, but when you are convinced
that such thing needs attention, just
sit down and write an article for
publication and sign your name to it.
The man who is afraid to express an
opinion on any evil, whether i'm
imaginary or real has no right to ex-
pect the editor to look for trouble.
HIS troubles come to him without
looking for them. Eek.

FOUND FROZEN ON
LAKE YERMILION
Continued on Page Three.

Tower. Minn., Jan. THE first ia
tality of the present winter, due to the
cold. has just occurred here. Charles
Anderson aged about 2T, who has
been working around lum- er camps

years. was frozen to death some tima
Monday night on Lake Vermilion
while trying to deliver load OF pro-
visions at the Vermilion Lumber Co. i
camp on Mud creek, with a team OF
oxen. He left here about noon Mon
day for his destination. He was
scantily dressed. When he leeft here
heavy damp snow was falling, bur
the weather was very mild. He stated
to his employers that be knew the way
but during the storm must have be-
come lost on the treacherous lake and
wandered around all the afternoon.
When found Tuesday, by a home
steader coming down the lake. the
oxen were unhitch0d from the load
and tied, about two miles from this
place. and Anderson's frozen body
was found short distance away. APP
tpearances show that he lost his way
for he had the load headed for Tower
and had driven up into a bay like
part of the lake, where the wind had
fun sweep. During the latter part
OF the afternoon Monday and all that
night the weather crew much colder,
making hig progress very difficult and
glow with the oxen.
