ried, living two miles east of Vernon
Center, was found dead In bed this

been III, as far as any of HIS friends
knew, and his sudden death was a
mystery. He was found dead In bed

worked on the farm for him, and
lived with him. Coroner A. @. Leid-

once to investigate the case. The
deceased was sixty-seven years old.
He is survived by brother, living
In Wisconsin.

Prompt investigation on the part
of Chief of Police Klugherz yester-
day afternoon led to the discovery
that the man who on Monday
afternoon ran down and seriously in.
jured the six-year-old son of Mrs
Henrietta Olson at Broad and Spring
streets with a motor cycle was Rev.
K. j. Nystrom, pastor OF the Swed.
ish Lutheran church at st. Peter.
The chief began his search for
information about the rider as soon
as he was notified of the accident.
He got as good description as he
could OF the man from those who
managed to get look at him before
he sped away. The chief surmised
that II was somebody at Ottawa, and
he rented an automobile and went
to that town, taking with him W..
l.. Bartell, a young man of the
agency department of the r. F. Neu-
bert company Mr.. Bartell is a
nephew OF Rev. A. +. Winter. pastor
Of the German Lutheran Church. He
was one Of those who had. a chance
to see the much-wanted motorcyclist.
Found Clue Was Wrong.
The chief found that his clue was
wrong and the one whom he sus-
pected was not the right party. How
ever, he had fairly good descrip-
ton OF the motorcycle and he began
at once to find out who had such
wheels in that neighborhood. He
learned that quite a number of such
motorcycles were owned by people
living i'm 81. Peter and he went to
that city, getting list of all who
owned such wheels, as far as he
could find them out.
At length the chief and Mr.. Bar
tell came to the home OF Rev. N.Y.
strom. The latter grew extremely
nervous as soon as he learned who
the chief was and on what errand
he had come. II was not long be-
fore he made the statement that he
was the one who ran down the boy.
Furthermore, ne was recognized by
the young man who accompanied the
chief.
Rev. Nystrom stated that he had
picked up the boy and placed him,
on the lawn. He gave no other
excuse for having sped away, than
that he was very nervous and scarce
ly knew what he was doing. He
said he was in a daze.
Talked With chiId's Mother.
Last evening Rev. Nystrom came
to Mankato, where he had a talk
with the child's mother. He told
her also that he was extremely nerv-
GUS at the time of the accident and
scarcely knew what he was doing.

In Brown county all OF the old
officers were reelected and Major
w. W. Smith of Sleepy Eye is prob
ably defeated for the state senate
by l.. Z. Potter of Springfield. This
senatorial district includes Brown
and Redwood counties. However, II
is believed that late reports may
change This result. Jean A. Flittie
carried Brown county by about 200
votes. Alfred w. Miller defeated
Albert Pfaender for representative,
and Albert Hauser probably will win
over Joseph r. Keefe as representa-

right eating and living among
those who are not SO well In
formed. "-Henrietta ID. Grauel.
A mother who is bringing up
family OF nine children in these
times ought to know a good deal
about how to manage, and her ex-
perience should be Of value to
others, even to those with much
smaller families. There is such a
family in a Minnesota city (there
are seven girls and two boys, rang
in age from four to twentyrtour).
The mother gives some facts about
her domestic arrangements which
are very interesting. They are
summarized as follows:
Food-Saving is considered to be
largely wise buying. So there is
no hand-to-mouth ordering in this
family. A cement-walled and floored
cold storage-room in the cellar makes
possible the purchase Of thirty
bushels Of potatoes when they are
cheapest. Proportionate quantities Of
cabbages, beats, turnips, carrots, eel
cry, etc, are also bought and stored
at the proper time. Flour and sugar
are bought by the hundred pounds
or barrel, vinegar and molasses by
the gallon. eggs by the crate.
A small vegetable garden contri-
butes somewhat to reduce the cost
of living in the summer, while ex-
tensiye canning operations carry the
war on into the winter. This fall
thirty-two cans of tomatoes were
put up" and many feet OF shelving
in the cellar groans under the weight
Of tier after tier of glass jars of
peaches, plums, pears, currants and
jellies. This family could withstand
a. siege OF several months, but good
food, cleanliness, early hours and
general care have prevented any
such necessity, for the. family has
never been quarantined by the
health authorities. -...--,....,.,.
Clothing-Buying in quantities Is
the rule here also. When IT'S, time to
buy shoes and rubbers, Paterfamilias
musters a squad of six or eight chill
dren and marches them to the shoe
dealer, who is glad to give liberal
discount on such sale. With, a
preponderance OF girls 1t is not
strange that most of the dresses
and hats are made at home,
especially since several of the girls
nave, perforce, become adopts with
the needle and scissors. They watch
the bargain sales and also the
fashion hints in the newspapers.
End-of-season remnants provide good
material cheap for next seasons
dresses. All cleaning and dyeing is
likewise done at home.
The home-There is a mixture of
Scotch, French and German in this
family's ancestry, so IL is not sur.
prising that the home is owned. They
rented part of a duplex" ut first.
Then bought II and made the rent
money from the other part help
pay for the property. Later the hus-
band and father, who is q building,
contractor built home In a part
Of the city more desirable for bring
Ing up children.
The bank-of course. the finances
Of this family are largely handled
through a checking account, while
most Of the children have their own
savings accounts or a little metal
bank at home, It goes without say
ing that they win be thrifty and sue
cessful. They could not be otherwise
with the wise example. pfecept and
