WILLMAR MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY
Farm Sells at 500 per Acre,

The l.. P. Lindholm farm, better
known by it's former owner, Gilbert
Sampson, located three miles east Of
Willmar, was sold last Saturday ly
the Anderson Land Company to John
H. Luckstead of Iowa, for even 500
per acre. This is the first instance,
we believe, Of this price being paid
for farm land in this county any dis
tance from the city limits, and
proves that kandiyohi county lands
are enhancing in value in the eyes of
buyers Of real estate. Three or four
years ago, Mr.. Sampson sold this
farm for $67 per acre. Mr.. Luck
stead had been prospecting around
in many places in the Northwest but
said he could not find anything else
where as good for the money.

FIRST GAME here SATURDAY
Benson and Willmar High School
Football Teams to Open
Season Here.

The first foot ball game Of the
season will be played in this city
next Saturday afternoon when the
local high school team and the Ben
son high team meet. The game
should be a good one, as both teams
are practicing hard for the contest.
Little is known Of the strength Of the
Benson team, except that Dwight
Coy, weight 200 pounds, will play
the full back position. If the locals
can stop him they should win the
game as the rest Of the visitors will
be no better than the average. The
local team has been practicing hard
for the past few weeks, but so far
have had no scrimmage and this may
tell against them before the game is
over. On the contrary Benson has
played a game or two and will prob
ably be in better physical condition.
The material at the local school
this year is as good or better than
anything they have had in former
years. The line is fairly heavy and
fast, while the backfeld is the fast
est and shiftiest Of recent years.
The only missing link is at quarter
back, where a new man will have to
be tried out. For this position, AL
fred Aim, Myron Cramer and Frank
Sather are candidates. The chances
are that the first named will direct
the fortunes of the team in the op-
ening contest. He is fairly heavy,
fast on his feet and should be able
to pick his plays with precision.
Captain Paul Holt, and Ralph Yar-
row will occupy the half back posi-
tons, with Walter Erickson at full
back. Harold Styles and Cecil
Johnson, the latter a new man, will
hold down the extremities Of the
line, and Art Limperich and George
Mcdonald will be at the tackle po-
sitions. Fred Danielson and San
ford Osmundson, the two huskies of
the squad will be at the guards. Roy
Carlson, who subbed at the position
last year, will hold down center. 1t
can be seen that with this bunch and
proper coaching the local high school
should be we'll represented on the
gridiron this year. Games will prob
ably be arranged later with Monte
video High School and Window In
stitute, Litchfield and the last game
Of the season of course, will be with
the Alumni.
The game Saturday will be called
| at three o'clock and the price of ad-
mission will be Is cents.

Old SETTLER DIES
OF HEART FAILURE
Blaze from Overturned Kettle in
Rykken Home Causes Death
OF Father. - /:

John K. Rykken, one of the most
respected >. old citizens of ,Dovre
township died very suddenly last
Wednesday afternoon from heart
failure, brought on by the excite
ment caused by fire in the resi-
dence near Solomon Lake. i
The old folks lived upstairs in
the residence and the son, J. J. Ryk-
ken with family live downstairs.
The elderly Mrs. Rykken was cook
ing jelly in the upstairs kitchen and
when she was absent for a moment
the contents boiled over into the fire
causing big blaze which communi-
Gated itself to a store room nearby.
The elderly Mr.. Rykken became pan
ic-stricken and became convinced
that the house would burn. The son
was in the field when the alarm
came. He found that the father had
thrown some articles from an up
stairs window and had then sue
cumbed to the excitement, the son
finding him lying dead near the win
dow. After carrying down his faith
er, John managed to extinguish the
flames before any serious damage
was done to the house.
John K. Rykken was born Sept.
16, 1887, at Rykken, Vik0r parish,
Hardanger, Norway, where he spent
his youth and lived until 20 years of
age, his occupation being that of a
sailor. In 1866 he emigrated with
wife to America, first locating in
Fillmore county. The following year
he came to Dovre township, Kandi-
yohi county where he has lived ever
since.
He was married in 1864 to Miss
Martha Saelseth, who survives him.
Nine children were born to them, of
which four survive their father, viz.
Mrs. Ingeborg Sletten who resides
on farm six miles northwest from
Willmar; G.. J. i.ykken Of Danvers,
Mimi; J. J. Rykken, who lives on
the old homestead; and Ole J. Ryk-
ken, of Woburn,. n. D. The deceas-
Ell is also mourned by two brothers
l-Chas. Johnson Of Saskatchewan,
Canada, and Ole Rykken at Eau
Claire, Wis.
The funeral occurred at the Solo,
| mon Lake Vik0r church Monday.
Rev. j. N. Andersen preached a very
impressive funeral sermon to very
large concourse Of people who had
come from far and near to do honor
to the memory Of the old pioneer they
had known so we'll. All the children
were home for the funeral. The pail
bearers were K. K. Axness, P. P. Al
Wig, M. O. Thorpe, Ole Alvig, Gyert
Alvig and Erik Soldahl. The fam
lily have the sympathy Of a large cir
Gle Of friends in their bereavement.
