THE WEEKS DEATHS
Mrs. Ray Leach Passes Away at Her
Home In This Village Leaving
Family of Ten Children.
Peter johnson Dies at Hospital From
Complications Following Oper-
alton for Appendicitis.


evening, April 7, at 6 O'Clock as re-
suit of childbirth, aged IS years. The
case is one of particular sadness, as
by her death 10 childreA-ranging in
age from that of the baby born at the
time of her passing away to that of
the Oldest child, who is 18-are left
motherless.
Funeral services we're held at the
Congregational church on Sunday af-
ternoou at O'Clock and were con-
Quoted by Rev. J. O. Fisher. A
double quartet rendered several i'm
pressive vocal selections at the OBJ
sequies, which we're largely attended.
The interment was in Oak Knoll GEM
etery.
Mrs. Leach was born in Sweden and
came to this country with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Soldin. The family
settled in Spring Vale. She was mar
ried in 1892 and a husband and 10
children survive her. The children
are: Mrs. Lynn Whittemore, Lula,
Vernon, Roy, Milton, Raymond,
Irene, Elmer, Robert and the baby.
OF these Roy will live with his grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Soldin, at
Spring Vale and Milton will be cared
for by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Henschel,
by whom the boy has been employed,
while someone will probably be found
to adopt the baby.
Mrs. Leach was a good, Industrious
woman and worked early and late
that her large family might be cared
for. Even upon the morning of the
day when she died she had washed a
large quantity of clothes for one of
her patrons. Mrs. Leach is spoken
of in kindly words by her neighbors
and friends, all of whom sympathize
with the little children who are left
to combat the world without a moth
er's care and protection.

Peter johnson died at the North
western hospital on Saturday after
noon at 3 O'Clock, aged 81 years
months. He was operated upon the
previous Thursday for chronic ap-
pendicitis and the operation in itself
was success. Death was directly
due to an acute dilatation of the stom-
ach, which brought about uncontrol-
liable vomiting and caused exhaustion
within SO hours. This is fortunately
a rare complication following such
operations.
Rev. Fisher conducted the funeral
services at the Congregational church
on Tuesday afternoon at 1:3O O'Clock
and selections we're sung by members
of the choir. The remains we're in
TERED in Oak Knoll cemetery and
many people followed them to the
grave.
Peter Johnson was born in Sweden
on November l, 1879, and came to the
United States in April 1900. He was
married on March 80, 1908, to Miss
Hulda Olson, who survives him.
When he first came to this country he
found employment in the brick yards
at Brickton and later worked for Sjo-
blom & Olson. At the time of his
death he was in the employ of An
drew Sjoblom. Peter Johnson was a.
quiet, unassuming young man who
was we'll liked in the community, and
it is pity that so untimely death
overlook him.

was received by the saloons late Fri
day night, it is said and from that
time on wagons were moving through
the streets transporting liquors to the
freight sheds of the railroads and
steamer lines and much of the stock
on hand was shipped out of the State.
II is said that single consignment OF
four carloads of beer was sent back.
Police Chief Dresser is the man who
stopped the open sale of liquors. He
ordered the members of the police
force to close all places on their beats
and to keep them closed, and they
made effectual work of it late Friday
night and early Saturday morning.
Now the liquor dealers are waiting
for further developments.
Saturday afternoon as far as could
be judged by outward indications, all
the saloons were shut up tight and il
is not believed that there are any very
large stocks left in the city.
Chief Dresser is a Republican and
is not removable by the mayor. even
Il that official had expressed such a
desire. His order to close Was appaf-
entity that and nothing more. the
transportation of the stocks on hand
through the streets for shipment ont
of the state was not interfercd with
