age, especially Mr.. Syverson who is
going on his ninetieth year. Mrs.
Syverson is 6 years younger and are
living on their pioneer homestead
under the care of their sons Albert

With their sons S. A. and C. A.
Syverson and families in the imme-
date vicinity they are enjoying good
care. 1t also leaked out that the
birthday of Mrs. Martin Syverson
came on the same day, so the ladies
managed to remind her of the
occasion and hit two flies in one
blow. The day was very pleasantly
spent.
It came to the observation of the
people in this neighborhood that
the mind and actions of James
Skaalerud for the period Of the last
few months had been somewhat
changed and constrained. He wa:
escorted to Willmar last week anc

court where upon he was taker
back to New London. Here de-
putation was awaiting him tt
bring him to his parental home
that. of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Skaal
erud where a crowd Of young folks
relatives and friends, somewhat en-
thusiastic, were awaiting his appear
ance and had their charges agains
him duly administered and withou
the least sign of resistance he pleat
guilty to their charges and proud,
showed he was not alone but frank
ly introduced a blushing young
maiden as taking his side of tn
case. The ordeal of the trial 500,
came to close, sentence was given
That said James Skaalerud shall b.
tied to a woman for the balance O.
his natural life. He took the sen
tence without shedding tear. Tn,
act was all over and the affai
turned into the jolliest crowd ives
of the Mississippi and no one OBJ
served the flight Of the time till tn,
ROSTERS in chicken coop gave thei
proclamation of broad daylight
Now under these circumstances j
is not necessary to say that we joil
in hoping for the newly married
couple a happy and long loving
journey. Mr.. and Mrs. Jane
