Day, and many thousand visitors
from this section of the country
visited one or the other of these
towns, and for that day the coun-

on in the county, the program for
the day being most excellent in
every way. AT Ellinwood there
was a fast ball game, a good con-

of entertainment, and all who Wis

themselves well repaid for the

DEATH OF j. D LAxDAL.

Daniel j. Laxdal died at Grand Forks
at st. Mlchael's hospital last Saturday.
He Was Al years of age and born in Ice
land. He came with his parents to this
county i'm 1870. Poor but ambitious he
worked his way through college and
studied law with Hon. w. j. Kneeshaw.
From ear y manhood he took great IN
terest IN politics and in later years has
been leading man in the repu blican
party of the county and of prominence
in the state He has occupied many
local offices and was for one term state
land commissioner, and at the time of
his death was mayor of the city of Cava-
lier. He leaves il widow, "a son and
daughter.
This brief sketch is but an outline of
life that is already well known to al
/ most al our readers for Mr. Laxdal was
perhaps the best known person in this
and adjoining counties. While his life
was brief 1t has been one of great influ-
ence. Personally he was of genial dis
position and all his acquaintance were
his friends. He will be particularly
missed in his home city where for
many years he has been one of the lead
ing citizens He will also be missed in
tie. councils of the county committee
of the republican party of which organi.
zation he has been chairman for several
years.
Born in comparative poverty, coming
as boy stranger in strange land by
industry and ability he raised himself to
high position among men who had far
greater advantages. When he died
very large circle of friends. some of
whom had opposed him in political
battles, felt that they had lost friend.
The funeral was held at Cavalier on
Tuesday and was attended by large
number of friends, many persons from
Grand Forks and other towns being
present. He was buried in the cemetery
at Mountain, his boyhood home.
