MAN SPORTS
WIFE STARVES
Frank Riblet, alias Frank Rogers,
Arrested for Non-Support
of Family in Illinois.

Winfield S. Swanson, deputy sher-
if Of Ford county, Illinois, came un
from Paxton last night to take
Frank Riblet who had been arrested
by Sheriff Bonde on a telegraphic
order several days before. Mr.. Rib
let, who is known in Willmar as
Frank Rogers, was wanted in his
home county on the charge of deser-
ton and non-support Of his family.
He has been working as assistant
foreman Of a crew on the State Hos
pital farm for the last three months.
He has been cutting quite dash
here as an unmarried young man and
had been assiduously courting a
young lady in spite of the fact that
basesahad q wife and four children de-
pendent upon him in Illinois. It was
last Thursday that Sheriff Bonde re-
ceived a telegram from Michael Bris-
tie, the sheriff Of Ford county, to i'm
mediately apprehend Mr.. Riblet and
since that time he has been board
er at Bonde's bastile. There was
some delay owing to the fact that
the requisition papers forwarded by
the Governor Of Illinois had gone
astray in the mails. Such occur
rences as these should prove warn
ing to young girls to not take up with
any strangers that come along be-
fore they fully know what kind of
people they are. Had the where
abouts Of Riblet not been discovered
there is no doubt that there would
soon have been domestic tragedy
caused by his dece1tful actions.
Deputy Sheriff Swanson was a
pleasant caller at the Tribune office
while at Willmar. Paxton is the ma
tive place of the editor and he had
a very pleasant visit talking of the
mutual acquaintance Of the young
er days.

3 IT U A r Y
JOHN OLSON.

John Olson, one of the early Swed-
ish pioneers of this country, closed
his eventful life at his home at Spic-
er, Mimi, on Tuesday, Jan. 2, as
briefly noted in our last issue. He
was taken with a severe attack of
pneumonia and before he had recov-
cred from same had apoplectic
stroke, which was the immediate
cause of his death.
John Oson was born at Enanger,
Halsingland, Sweden, Sept. 8, 1888,
and thus attained the age Of 73
years, month and "a days. His ex-
periences as one of the early Swed-
ish immigrants were the trying ones
incident to those early times. -
The family consisting of father,
mother, Peter and Martha Olson, and
six children, emigrated to America
in 1853. A two-year- old boy, Peter,
died in New York, and the mother
died in Chicago the same year. The
family now became scattered. Mar
tina and Olof, twins, about six years
old, and Mary, about four years old,
were taken to a children's home in
Chicago. Carrie, thirteen years old
(who later became Mrs. Louis Lar

sony, secured a place in a private
family, the father earned what. he
could at manual labor, and John, now
fifteen year old, was engaged to work
for a family in Geneva, ILL.,, until he
reached the age Of twenty one. This
arrangement did not please the faith
er, and after the boy had worked
there three weeks in the spring and
in Rockford one summer he joined
his father. In the fall of 1854 they
went to Marine Mills, Washington
county, Minn:, where they remained
about twelve years. During this time
John was employed in the lumber
woods and in rafting, and became
an expert "driver." He also work.
ed on farms occasionally in the sum-
mer months. In March, 1865, he en-
listed in the First Minnesota Batal-
lion, Co. D. His company reached
the seat Of war shortly after the sur
render Of Lee, so it did not see any
hard fighting. He was mustered out
later in the year. In 1868 Mr.. Olson
came to Kandiyohi county and took
homestead in Green Lake township
in 1868. He continued farming un-
til 1895, when he SOLD the farm and
retired to live at 'spicer.
In September, 1865, MIR. Olson was
married to Miss Alice Nelson at Ma
rine Mills. Five 'children were born
to them. Two of these have died.
Those surviving to mourn their faith
er's death are William P. Olson Of
Surrey, N. D., August L. Olson Of
Selona, Minn., and Mrs. Frank Har-
ris Of Irving township in this coun-
ty. The deceased was closely at
tached to his brother-in-law, the late
Louis Larson, at New London, and
he was prevented from attending the
funeral by reason Of his illness. He
then expressed the wish that he
might accompany his brother across
the dark river. Since his arrival
to Green Lake he was a faithful and
devout member Of tn e Lebanon
Swedish Lutheran, church at New
London until the Saron church was
organized at spicer. Since then he
has taken. a leading part in the
church work there. - .....r
The funeral was held Saturday
Services were held at the epice1
church at eleven o'clock am. Then
the cortege proceeded to New Lon
don where services were held in the
Lebanon church, and the interment
Itook place in the family lot in the
churchyard. Among the floral trib.
utes was fine harp given by the
members Of the saron congregation
Rev. Christian ewe1isen, the pastor
oaiciated and paid tribute to thu

departed. He will always be remem:
