MRS. SHERNEY HANSON.

The Grim Reaper called at the home
of Sherney Hanson, brakeman in the
service of the Great Northern in this
city last Saturday and ruthlessly
plucked the young wife and mother
from a devoted husband and baby boy.
Mrs. Hanson has been ill for five
weeks with pneumonia and her death
cast a deep gloom over large circle
of friends, whose profound sympathy
goes out to the mourning family.
Mrs. Clara Otilda (Otos) Hanson
was born at Willmar May 10, 1888, and
was the first born child of Mr. and
Mrs. X. T. Otos. She grew 70 wom-
anhood in this city. For a time she
was employed in the telephone cen
trail. She was married to Mr.. Hanson
Dec. 21, 1912. Besides the stricken
husband and baby boy, Richard-16

realize his great loss, the deceased

Rev. B. E. Walters at Tripolis was
the pleased victim of the designs OF

inkling of what was in store for him
Attorney Charles Johnson was the
spokesman of the parishioners and

Lecture on Palestine.

Lecture on FaIe8LIne.
Rev. Karl Won Lehnburg, of Stock
holm, Sweden, a former missionary to
Palestine, gave talk at the Swedish
Methodist church last Monday eve
ming, which was of absorbing interest.
He appeared in the costume of the
natives Of the Holy Land and gave
his hearers a picture of the life of
the East such as it is among the peo.
pie away from the cities and by-ways
frequented by the ordinary tourists,
who are usually grossly deceived by
the local guides who always are pre-.
pared to show them anything they
wish to see If the necessary "back-
eesh" is forthcoming. The inhabitants
Of Palestine in the country districts
are not Arabs, although they use the
Arabic language, but direct descend.
ants of the old Kanaanites who still
worship Baal although they profess
to be Mohammedans.
We hope Won Lehnburg will make
q return date to Willmar.

GIRLS WIN, BOYS LOSE
High School Basketball at Howard
Lake Results in One Sided
Victories.

The high school boys and girls
teams journeyed to Howard Lake last
Friday afternoon and played the
teams of that place in the evening.
The girls celebrated the trip with q
nice little victory, the score being
24-1O. AS this is their first victory
of the season, the girls were very
much pleased with themselves and
their work. They were forced to play
one half under boys rules, as that is
the style of play that the Howard
Lake girls had been used to. During
this period the girls scored but four
points, but when they got back to the
old style, they showed themselves to
be some great little basket tossers.
All the local girls put up good game.
and deserve lots of credit for winning
from Howard Lake on their own floor.
The boys were not as successful as
the girls, in their quest for new
worlds to conquer. The final score of
this game was 1921, with the locals
on the short end. Between thirty and
forty fouls were called on the Will
mar bunch, and of these sixteen were
shot. The score at the end of the
first half was 1913 in favor of How
ard Lake, and it was in the last half
that the deadly foul shooting got in
it's work
Rev. Crawford Grays, formerly of
this city, refereed the game, and with
all due respect to the Reverend, he
was anything but a success. The opin-
ion of those from here who watched
the game is, that the girls game was
the rougher of the two. Nothing could
be done however, as the home crowd
was behind all the decisions of their
Official. Holt, Erickson and Norling
dMtha scoring for Willmaf: Hoglund
played center, and Aim relieved Var
row at forward in the last half
