NEWCOMB Returns
FROM lecture TRIP
SPENT TWO WEEKS CAMPAIGN.
ING IN NORTHWESTERN
PART OF STATE.
Royalty Received at Crosby and Other
Towns, Where Message Was Lis.
tened to With Interest.

After strenuous campaigning for
nearly two weeks in the northwestern
portion of the state in the emducation-
al interests Of the Society for the
Friendaess, Rev. Newcomb returned
on train No. 3, Wednesday, and will
be with his family over the holidays.
This last trip of the year and of the
society's first year In North Dakota,
the Tribune man learned, was not
without interest as the reader will
note. Five towns were reached in
which were given seven addresses be-
fore the public schools, eight lectures
before general gatherings of people,
and one Sunday school talk, q total
of Is i'm ten days.
Mr.. Newcomb declared to Tribune
man, that in some respects, Crosby,
where he was over Sunday, December
II, topnotched all the places visited
during the year when considering size.
This place was visited early in the
autumn and at that time some public
spirited citizens invited Mr.. New
comb to RETURN and spend a Sunday
in the place, which was accepted. The
largest assembly hall was engaged
and Hon. George P. Homes, late as
semblyman, as chairman, introduced
Superintendent Newcomb to a capac-
ity house. The people were told of
the aims and objects of the society
and before Rev. Newcomb left for his
next engagement the business inter
ests had generously contributed an
amount greater than any received
thus far from any one place (size con-
s1dered) toward promoting the 50
ciety's work in the state.
When asked as to business, the gu
perintendent said: Its lively"
1t will he recalled that Crosby is
the new county seat of Divide county
and that Mr.. Homes, a Croabite,
stood second in the race for speaker
ship of the house in the late aegisla-
tive assembly.
Another fresh experience i'm the
trip WAS THAT at Kenmare, where
Superintendent Newcomb delivered
his lecture in the theater, the manage.
ment courteously withholding the reg
ular event till a later hour in order
to give the business men an opportu.
nifty to hear the lecture.

MINISTER'S Death
Was ACCIDENTAL

GRAFTON, Dec. 22.-Last October
it was generally reported that Rev. j.
A. Ofstedahl, pastor of a Lutheran
church here, had committed suicide by
throwing himself in we'll. 1nvestiga-
tons by the authorities and relatives
have established the fact that the
dispatches were in error in that Mr..
Ofstedahl was not a suicide, but met
his death accidentally.
Rev. Mr.. Ofsteda(hl had been "a pas

duties extended into the country for
many miles around. He had a wide

With advancing years the strain OF
constant work depleted his system
until his nervous strength and energy
failed. For weeks before Qhis death
he had suffered from nervous prostra-
tion and insomnia. On the night of
his death he was unable to sleep and
left his home to walk in the neighbor-
hood The night was intensely cold,
about 20 degrees below zero, and be-
sides being sick he became thoroughly
chilled. He wandered into q field

suspecting man stumbled and was

When morning dawned his absence

In q few hours the body was found.
The coroner's jury investigated the
case from all angles and found that
death was accidental. Rev Mr.. or
stedahl had been associated with
church and educational leaders In the
northwest, and his death caused genu-
inc sorrow in many homes. In justice
to his memory it is felt the press of
the northwest ought to make It clear
that his death was purely accidental
