of officers and other general business.
The following were elected: Presl-
dent, e. ]. Stoltenberg; vice-presi-
dent, H. A. KlotZ; scretary-treasurer,
A. H. Schmidt. After the business
meeting various forms of entertain
ment were INDUCED in. Chief among
these was wrestling. H. w. Schmidt
acted as referee in all matches and
gave universal satisfaction. In
match between Paul Jepsen and A. b..
Schultz the latter was victor. Harry
Lorenzen won from "Poody" Chris
Hansen. Hugo Wiegland and Arnold
Moeller tussled to draw. DR.. Schultz
and A. E. Schultz also wrestled to a
draw. A. E. Schultz won from John
Bruggen. Paul Jepsen won decision
over A. H. Schmidt. A. E. Schultz
and Harry Lorenzen, who appear to
be the stars of the mat, will contest
for hcnors at the next meeting of the
club. After the entertainment at the
club room was over the members
went to the brick hotel where they
were served with an excellent three
course supper.
The brick hotel changed hands on
Monday of this week when L. A. John
son sold out to L. L. Sawyer, of David
City, Neb., who bought the hotel
building and fixtures. Mr.. Johnson
came here about three months ago
and bought the hotel when it was in
a run down condition, but at the time
of disposing of the property had the
business on paying basis and was
giving the public service second to
none. Mr.. Sawyer understands the
hotel business and will keep the repu-
tation of the place up to the present
high standard. We join the people
in general in welcoming Mr.. Sawyer
and family to Schleswig and wish for
them the success that has been &C
corded the business in the past.
The local order of the l. O. O. F.
lodge held installation Monday night
of this week when the newly elected
officers entered into their work for
the coming year. After the work at
the lodge hall had been finished all
went to the Brick hotel, where they
enjoyed fine supper served by the
new management. The above lodge
has nice order here with member
ship of something like sixty devoted
workers and interest is always kept
up in the lodge because the member
ship is composed of boosters and not
knockers.
Hans Zaeth, who has served as a
member of the board of supervisors
of this county for the past six years,
gave up his place on January first
to Martin Nehls. Mr.. Baeth has
served the county well, always attend
ing to the work as supervisor as
though it was his own. Such men as
Baeth are hard to find. but we hope
to see his equal in Mr.. Nehls.
