Hegewisch and Burnham, which for

city OF Chicago, noticed only to be
ridiculed, representing nothing but so
much human activity have asserted
themselves.
Like Hammond they had a name TO

successfully is shown by the fact that
the development OF local civic pride is
attracting the attention of their
neighbors and even the city of Chi

These towns have absorbed the Chi
cago spirit as well the spirit of the
Calumet region. Not only is their in :
dustrial development amazing but new
ideals of city building have possessed
them and condition of chaos is
rapidly being replaced by perfect order
with the result that they are becoming
attractive as residential districts.

the progress of the entire Calumet
district are potent ones In Hegewisch

Grand Old Pioneer Gone.

Another of Lincoln County's grand
old men has passed into that land OF
eternal rest where he will receive
lust rewards for his noble kindness on
this earth.
Ole Hvattum was born in Norway
in June 1886, died Saturday November
2. He came to Clayton county, Iowa,
In 1866, from there to Beloit In 1868.
He settled on homestead three
miles east of Canton where he remain
ed up to last Fall when he came to
Canton to make his home with his
son Henry who had charge OF the
old home for the las ten years.
Mr.. Hvattum was married in 1866
to Miss Kjersty Evenson and to this
union I children were born, two boys
and two girls alive.
The funeral services were held at
the Lutheran church "Wednesday
afternoon with Rev. Tettlie officiat
ing. Joseph Anderson being the
funeral director.
The body was laid to rest beside
that of his beloved wife who hac

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1912-11-08

Several years ago a Missourian
moved out to eastern Colorado and
took a homestead. Things looked
pretty good out In that country when
he located but the next season turn
ed off dry and windy. He hung on,
hoping for change, but the second
second year was worse than the first.
He had notion to leave, but finally
decided to stick one more year. The
third year. which was the last season
was the worst of the three. He hitch
ed up team of poor mules he still
had left, got his family into an old

WHEN PRAISE WASN'T WELCOME.
Capt. Libeneau was consulted about
the new and unexpected discovery.
He had praised cur work before, but
now he was uproariously jubilant over
our surprising success. "But how are
you going to handle this system OF
traffic in the future?" he asked with
smile.
| confessed that it was mighty deli
cate business for a youth like me to
tackle such job
"Oh, you are good for it; search
em all, the suspicious ones l mean, "
and away he went to tell Gen. Viele
how women carried liquor into the
city.
Sergeant Allen said he would 60 to
the guard house before he would
search woman, and well, It's no
matter what l said.
There was lots OF trouble in the
provost marshal's office that night, as
another steamer was due from Balti-
more in the morning.
Allen said he was an ass for doing
what he did on the gang plank, and
we were inclined to believe he had
exceeded his authority, but we had
uncovered whisky and trouble and
must face the consequences.
Capt. Libeneau sent for me early In
the morning and directed that l take
charge OF the provost guard and use
due caution in my effort to detect
smugglers when the boat arrived.
The boat came as usual and carried
the usual crowd of men and women,
but didn't see the sign OF a suspi-
cious bustle--in fact, l didn't want
to. In few days ] was given per-
mission to hire a woman to do the
work and got out Of the hustle bust
ness with no regrets.
These are only few of the various
schemes which we're employed to get
whisky inside the lines. AT Christ
mas time in 1861 some of the cunning
youths at Fortress Monroe had oyster
cans filled with whisky and placed in
side baked turkey and, OF course,
escaped detection. Vessels loaded
with supplies for McClellan's army
did land office business in smuggling
liquor to the troops before the siege
of Yorktown began. Still the volun-
teers, as a rule. were not drinking
men, but the desire to get forbidden
fruit" in spite of orders and provost
guards was the chief incentive that
made them risk so much for fun.
We have known E1au to run the camp
pickets with chalsee of being shot
just to secure a canteen of liquor
when they didn IT drink. They would
not take dare and liked the excite
ment.
AS the war progressed suffers sup
piled most of the stimulant permitted
and sometimes suffers barrel would
be tapped during the night, and so it
went to the end.
