SEVERN S0RDAL.

At St. Joseph's Hospital at St..
Paul last Friday evening at 6:15 o.
clock occurred the death Of SEVERN
Sordal, a young man who has been
working in this neighborhood for the
past four years, three Of which he
spent on the farm Of C. A. Thorpe of
Green Lake and the past year on the
farm OF Anton Thorson Of Kandiyohi
township. He was taken i'll sometime
ago, and lay at the Willmar hospital
for three weeks last fall. He was
taken to st. Joseph's hospital and
operated upon for ulcer of the stom-
ach Jan. l5. On Jan. 20 he was again
operated upon for twisting of bow
els. Last Thursday Messrs. Thorpe,
Urdahl and Thorson were to see him,
and he seemed then to be very bright
and on the road to recovery. Friday
hight he was taken with an internal
hemorrhage which resulted in his
death. Very sad indeed, was this
death Of a young man separated by
thousands Of miles and the Atlantic
ocean from his home, parents and
family. The funeral occurs today at
one o'clock from the Luth. Free
church of this city, Rev. M. B. Mich
aelson officiating. The interment
takes place in the Fairview ceme-
terry.
SEVERN S0rdal was born at S0rdal.
near Stavanger, Norway, twenty-five
years ago Dec. 21st last. His par
ents are Anton and Elisabet Hanson.
who survive to mourn the untimely
death Of their son, and a number of
brothers and sisters, all in Norway.
Two brothers, Lars and Hans, had
been working here for several wears
on the Edw. Bredeson and Lars Ur-
dahl farms, but returned to Norway
last fall. Lars L. Urdahl of Willmar
township is an uncle of the deceased
and Mrs. c. A. Thorpe of Green Lake
township is an aunt. Together with
Mr.: Thorson, on whose place the boy
vas working, his folks here have done
everything they could for him, spar
ing neither pains nor money to give
him the best of care and medical at
tention.

The Second Match.

The next match between Potts and
Samuelson which will occur at Bonde
Hall at Willmar Friday evening, Feb.
2, is believed by many sports to be
the best wrestling match ever seen
at Willmar. Samuelson lost the
match after hard struggle, but it
is pointed out that at that time he
was not in condition. Now he is in
the best of shape, having wrestled
daily with his trainer and adviser, J.
Root. He is in the pink of condition
and those who saw the first match
will not wish to miss this second one.
Samuelson is out to win, and has the
edge on Potts in strength and weight.
Potts is clever and is master of the
science, and is the best lightweight
ever seen in action in our city. When
they get together next Friday night
there will be something doing.

Will INSTALL
PIPE ORGAN
Synod Y. P. S. win Have In.
strument Installed for,
Synod meetinQ.

At the close Of a very pleasant pro-
gram last Monday night, the Young
Peoples Society of the Norwegian
Lutheran Synod church by unani-
nous vote decided that they would at
once purchase and install a new pipe
organ, the price Of which is $1,70O.
The make decided upon is the Kim
ball, and the resident salesman, Mr..
L. A. Tjosvold, who represents the
Kimball company in the State Of
Minnesota, was present at the meet
ing and was able to make a conces-
sion in price on his own account
which was greeted with enthusiasm
by the members Of the society. The
society has between $500 and 5000
in it's pipe organ fund, and with the
concession made by Mr.. Tjosvold, it
will be able to install the organ at
once and feel able that the difference
can be provided without great diff
Guilty. This action is subject to the
ratification Of the congregation which
meets in adjourned annual session
next Monday, but there is little doubt
but that the action Of the Y. P. S.
will have the hearty endorsement of
the church. The idea of buying the
organ now is to have it in place be-
fore the meeting Of the District Syn
cd which convenes at Willmar May
80. The plans are to place the or
gan in the front part of the church
to the left side Of the chancel, and
the necessary alterations are figured
at only $50, which amount will also
be provided by the young people. The
instrument that the society has in
view is very fine one, which will be
a credit tosthe church as we'll as to
the city. The good Offices of Mr..
Tjosvold in the purchase of this in
strument is not the full extent Of
his benefactions for this society, for
he has also presented it with new
1915 Kimball piano.
