BRIDGE BUILDER
MANNED FOR LIFE
Frank 0. Berglund, Bridge Car
penter. has Leg Crushed
Under Falling Timber.

Frank O. Berglund. foreman of
the bridge-building crew on the
Great Northern, wellknown citizen
of Willmar and resident in Sperry's
Addition, liked and respected by all
who know him, sustained a fearful
injury at Campbell last Monday
morning, his right leg being
|crushed under a falling timber
necessitating amputation below the
knee.
Mr.. Berglund was experimenting
the unloading of two immense
bridge timbers. 9xl2 and 81 feet
long from two flat cars. Besides
crew Of six men. Master Carpenter
Beese of Willmar was present. The
timbers had been raised on skids.
preparatory to unloading, and Mr..
Berglund was hurrying to get out
of the way before giving the signal
to start the timbers. when the Mas
ter Carpenter took hold of one of
the timbers with a cant-hook and
on his own responsibility pulled
one of the logs loose. not realizing
Mr.. Berglund's hazardous position.
He was caught between the timber
and the No. 2 passenger track. and
how he escaped with only one
crushed leg is a mystery. The &C.
cident happened at $3.50 a. m. DR..
Bjornber9 of Campbell was sum-
moned and succeeded in stopping the
flow of blood and tied up the in
jured limb in such manner as to
steady it. Frank insisted on COM
ing home, but suffered excruciat-
ing pain in the baggage car which
bumped along everytime the brakes
were set, and on a cot with very
poor springs. After arriving at
Willmar on No. IA at 1:30 p. m,
Mr.. Berglund was taken to Bethesda
Hospital where he was operated
upon an hour later.
He is doing as we'll as can be ex-
pected, and no complications are
looked for. He has wife and four
children dependent upon him. He
has the sincere sympathy of the
people of Willmar in his misfor-
tune.

There will be no money raising
for old debts, as they will all be
settled. The public is cordially
invited to attend these services.
On account of the peculiar condi-
tions of the past, and that all may
understand for the future, through
the kindness ofthe press, the follow
ing statement is made:
At the beginning of the present
pastorate (Oct. 1909 there were
three members. and the church was
badly involved in debt. lover a
thousand dollars) being all past due
with interest etc. The misfortunes
of the past led many to think that
the field of this church was lost
and it would be foolish to try to
reorganize. but the Dist. Supt.
believed it could be done and the
result seems to have justified his
faith.
The old debts have been paid
ISL, ,110), the property improved,
and the church is we'll organized in
all departments, on small scale
it's true, but on a working basis.
Over 60 full members, a Sunday
School of IS enrolled. Junior
League so members. Epworth
League Is members. Mems Club,
Girls Club, Boys Win One Club.
Ladies Aid Society, 80 members,
good choir, Sunday School Orches.
ira. etc. etc. These details are given
to the public as our first announce.
ment that we are in business, and
expect to stay.
The Methodist Church has always
been the church of the common
people every where, and it is hopec
that its work in Willmar will sus
tain that character.
AS part of the community thi.
church. it is believed. has demon
strated its right to live, and in al
the future will stand ready to bea1
its share of the burdens, as vel
as to enjoy the privileges of thi'
beautiful little city.
Heartfelt thanks are hereby ex
tended to all those who have b,
kindness and liberality made success
possible thus far.
Much credit is due DR.. Nicholson
who is primarily responsible fo
what has been accomplished. Th'
church is to give him an informa
reception Saturday evening, May 27
at which a brief program ant
mortgage burning will be part o
the evening enjoyment. Ligh

MUSICAL DEBUT OF.
THREE YOUNG LADIES

The musicale to be given in Sem
mary Hall on evening of May 29th
by Miss Reeds pupils, Misses Hog
lund, Wolberg and Osmundson, as
sisted by Miss Sherman and Miss
Ackerlnnd of St. Paul. is to an
nounce to the people of Willmar
that the above young ladies have
completed the two years. teachers
course from Miss Reed and are pre-
pared to take beginners. While
the young ladies are not posing as
concert artists all will agree when
they hear the program that their
work is above the average amateur
and while they demonstrate that
their knowledge musically is more
than sufficient to teach beginners;
there is also a foundation laid
for a brilliant future for any one
of the three as concert players. The
young ladies will still continue their
studies with Miss Reed. also figure
as assistant teachers in the Ethel
Reed School of Music. <.7
Miss Georgia Sherman comes
highly recommended as an artist
vocally. Miss Sherman has excel
lent press notices dating back to
her twelfth birthday. and is we'll
known in st. Paul, both musically
and socially. She is a pupil of
prominent St. Paul and New York
teachers. Miss Sherman will locate
here permanently and take charge
Of the vocal department in the
school.
Miss Ackerlund 8 work as violin
ist is always enjoyable. and she is
also known in St. Paul. having ap-
peared very often in public as a
successful performer. Miss Acker-
lund has charge of the violin depart
ment and already has many pupils.
We are sure the citizens of Will
mar will appreciate a school so well
equipped with competent teachers
and will be only too glad to take
advantage Of the opportunities
offered. /.

HELEN ALVIG.

The death of Helen Alvig, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Alvig, of
Solomon Lake, was wholly unex-
peted and sad shock to her family
and friends. She died suddenly on
Saturday morning. Her death was
caused by heart failure the result
of rheumatic fever. Nothing indi-
Gated that death was near and all
who knew her are grief stricken at
her sudden passing away. ~
Helen Alvig was only % years of
age. lovely young woman whose
future was bright with promise.
Everyone who knew her loved her
and why she should be called so
young is one Of the questions for
which there is no answer here.
There is vacancy in the home
which cannot be filled and loneliness
and sorrow in the hearts Of her par
ents, brothers and sisters and many
expressions Of loving sympathy for
them are heard.
* Rev. N Anderson will con-
duct the. funeral services at the
home at IL o'clock today and at the
