Death stalked into varsity circles
last night and claimed the life of
Chauneey |. Lyman, a university stu
dent, in his second year The unfort-
unate affair cast a gloom on the uni
versity campus. In football scrim.
mage on the varsity field at ) O'Clock
last evening, Lyman was knocked un
conscious when colliding with Cap
tain Stanley Brown, and though phys
icians worked over him for an hour
and a half, he passed away at 6:3G
without having regained conscious
ness.
Was Enthusiastic Player
The young man was among the most
enthusiastic football men at the col
lege, and though only given guard
position in the second team, coached
this year by Assistant Coach Beghold,
he was eager at all times to take an
active part in the game. Following
classes yesterday afternoon he rushed
to the field but after the first 10 min
utes of play he was placed on the
side lines by Beghold who informed
him that he was in no condition to
play. Mr.. Beghold observed that the
young man was winded and felt he
should not be in the game which was
a scrimmage with the first team. The |
game continued with 10 men on the I
second team and twice during its pro-
gress Lyman begged to be permitted
to take his position, being refused
both times.
Went ilh Unnoticed
Subsequently Lyman is said to have
crossed to the opposite side of the
field and unnoticed slipped into the
inc among his team mates. He had
been in for two downs. He was seen
to make dash for Captain
Brown, of the first team, who was ma
ng an end run with the ball. With
lead down he crashed full into Brown
rhe latter believes his knee struck
lyman on the head. Lyman was pick
d up from the field unconscious and (
emoyed to the varsity gym. There
irst aid was given and Coach Rade-
nacher at once summoned DR.. Garth

Falls for interment. Short services
were held at the Grice parlors, Rev.
Fowler officiating. The body was ac-
companied by Assistant Coach Beg
hold and a fellow student, Cornell
Buffham of Idaho Falls.
Native OF Iowa
The deceased was a native of Iowa
and was born February 20, 1894. He
had spent most Of his life in Kansas,
where his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. H.
Lyman has resided. For the past
seven years the family had resided at
Idaho Falls and the young man had
been a bright star in football on the
Idaho Falls high school team. Last
year he came to the university and at
once was given place on the second
team. He was given a second team
place this year and was enthusiastic
in the sport.
Well Liked by All
The deceased was a young man Of
correct habits and was we'll liked by
his fellow students. 1t is related to-
day that his address yesterday at the
zoology class was a pleasure to those
in attendance. So eager was he to
get to the football game that he moved
an adjournment of the class himself
so he could rush to the field.
Coach beplOres Accident
1.-The affair is one of the most un
fortunate that has ever come under
my notice." said Coach Rademacher
.oday. "The accident is deplorable
noreso because Mr.. Beghold had
cautioned him to refrain from playing |
Idaho's prospects for a |
good football team were never better. |
Faculty and students alike are heart
oroken by Lyman's death and we feel
for his family"
That the death of Lyman will dea.
severe blow to football activities in
daho this year is admitted.

Diplomats Quit Sofia

ATHENS, Oct with the allied
diplomats reported by Athens already
withdrawn from Sofia, the maelstrom
of war rapidly tended toward an en-
gulf of the Balkans. Following the
unsatisfactory reply by Bulgaria to
Russia's warlike ultimatum and the
dispatch of another ultimatum by
Bulgaria to Serbia, hostilities are ex-
pected soon along the Serbo-H -Hungar-
ian border simultaneously with the
attack on Serbia's nor
thern frontier. The first French
forces landed at Salonika are reported
to have reached the Serbian frontier
near Gieveli Other forces continue
to land at Salonika while British
forces are said to be debarking for
that vicinity.

The Tribune has in a couple of the
previous issues mentioned the Estrem
family reunion at Eagle Lake, which
lasted from the 1st to the 18th of
July.
It is quite remarkable that during
at least a part of this time 40 of the
so members of the widely scattered
family could be present and that ev-
cry member is in good health.
During the reunion many friends
called upon the family at the J. o. Esr
trem cottage. =
Monday evening, July 5th, Mrs. L..
o. Thorpe served dinner to the entire
gathering, and Tuesday afternoon the
Synod Ladies' Aid society entertain
ed all at the church basement, where
a large part of the congregation also
was assembled. The tables were ar
ranged in horseshoe form along three
sides of the spacious room, the guests
being seated on the outside of the
horseshoe and the hosts inside.
Rev. ]. N. Andersen bid all well
come and explained that the purpose
OF the festival was primarily to honor
Mrs. 0. Estrem and to commemorate
the long, faithful service which Rev.

ESTREM FAMILY REUNION

O. Estrem and wife had rendered the
congregation in the past. It will be
remembered that Rev. O. Estrem serv.
ed the local Synod congregation from
1877 to 1902. Tx
On behalf of the Ladies' Aid Rev.
Andersen presented Mrs. Estrem with
a beautiful brooch. It was also an in
teresting feature Of this festival that
the three remaining charter members
of the Ladies' Aid society were pres
ent. They are Mrs: o. Estrem, Mrs.
L. O. Thorpe and, Mrs. T. X. Stalland
Of St. Paul. &
Mrs L. o. Thorpe had noted down
a number of interesting memories
from the early history of the society.
This paper was read by Rev. C. S.
Thorpe Of Minneapolis, who concluded
with warm tribute to the guest of
honor.
In conclusion Rev. H. w. Estrem Of
Texas thanked all on behalf of Mrs. o.
Estrem and the family.
AS we go to press we learn that
nearly all of the visiting members of
the reunion party have left for their
respective homes, and we feel certain
that the memories of those days of
reunion will long be cherished.

SCHOOL: Meeting SATURDAY
Practically: Controlling Contingent
Of Board Of Education is to
Be Selected.

The anppe'al school meeting takes
place at the High School fDuilline next
Saturday evening at eight o'clock, as
per official notice published else
where in this issue. One-half of the
Board of Education (three members)
is to be elected, and that ought to
cause everyone who is interested in
our schools to come out and have a
voice in the selection of these men,
bers. The editor believes that too lit
tie attention is paid to selection Of
members of the Board of Education,
as a rule. Their selection should not
be left to chance or the snap judg-
ment of handful of citizens. Not
even the advantage of the old-time
caucus system is given the people,
for very few know who are to be the
candidates before the meeting opens.
This fact makes it all the more neces-
sary that the patrons come out to the
meeting. The polls are open one hour
after nominations have been made.

fuI in Spite Of Untavor-

The 1915 Willmar Chautauqua came
to close Saturday evening with a
splendid concert by Signor Victor's
Florentine Band of twenty-six music
ians. 1t is freely admitted that bet.
ter band has not been heard on the
chautauqua circuit, and the crowd was
enthusiastic and appreciative The af-
ternoon's program included standard
overtures and marches and closed
with medley of Southern plantation
melodies. The evening concert in
cluded among others the overture to
William Tell, hunting scene, parts
of the bohemian Girl and I'll Trova-
tore" and a fantasia of My Old Ken
tucky Home, which included several
solos, one a trombone solo by the di-
rector of the band, Signor Guarini.
The band played with perfect ensem-
Bile and dashing spirit.
Saturdays afternoon concert was
preceded by lecture by Paul S. Deit-
rick, Sunday school expert, on the
subject of 1.-THE Better Way 1t
dealt broadly with the problems of
how best to deal with boys and girls
and their activities.

most delightful of the season. Bow

TIC oI0U OF INC OdI 1SaI.
c. A. Bangtson, of Whitefield called
at the Tribune Office Monday and
sprung a new discovery upon us. Re-
Gently he received a letter from
friends at Princeton, ILL.,, stating that
every oat leaf grown in that vicinity
this year has the letter "b" plainly
outlined on the same. Mr.. Bangtson
investigated his oatfield and found
that the same was true here. He did
not bring any samples with him to
show the editor so all we know is
what Mr.. Bangtson told us about
it. He also said that there was much
speculation as to what this sign might
mean. His Illinois friends claim that
before the Civil war the sign on the
oat was "w." It is probable that
whatever marking is found on the oat
leaves have been there every year,
but has not been noticed.

DROWNING CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
Grove City Young Nan Meets
Death While Fishing n
Diamond Lake.

Richard Lindblad, age % years, eld-
est son Of Mrs. A. Lindblad of Grove
City was drowned in Diamond Lake
last week Thursday. On that day
Lindb'ad and Raymond Ormberg, also
of Grove City, went on a fishing trip
to Diamond Lake. They were trolling
along the north shore of the lake,
Ormberg rowing and Lindblad sitting
in the stern of the boat. They at
tempted to exchange seats, but In SO
doing the boat capsized and both
young men were thrown into the
water. =
Lindblad was unable to swim, and
was told to hang onto the boat, while
Ormberg swan ashore for help. How
ever, when the latter reached the
shore and turned to look for his COM
panion, he was nowhere to be seen.
A boat with party to drag for the
body set out at once, and the news
was telephoned to the village and sew
eral auto loads left for the scene of
the accident. The lake was exceeding
ly rough and despite the strenuous ef-
forts Of the rescuers, the watery
grave refused to give up its victim.
Friday morning the search was con-
tinued, and at O'Clock the body was
found by A. C. Berg and Hiding
Schmidt. "
Richard E. Lindblad was born on
February 7th, 1890 on the Lindblad
farm just east Of the village of Grove
City. Here he lived all the years of
his life, and for the past few years he
was in charge Of the farm.
He was young man of splendid
Christian character, was a very active
member of the Baptist church. Just
the day before the drowning he was

On the whole the gate receipts were
less than last year, which may be
largely attributed to the weather. It
rained nearly every day or night, max
ing most country roads rather bad for
autos. Unsettled weather has a very

at a chautauqua. Then the circus on
the opening day and week of carnival
no doubt took much money that might
otherwise have been spent at the chau-
tauqua gate.
The Willmar chautauqua is an up
lifting influence that must and will be
continued. The programs will be
made stronger and better as the dis
eliminating demands of the people
grow. Think of all the talent and emf
nent men with vital messages which
the chautauqua has brought to this
county during the seven years it has
been conducted. Willm.ar has the
chautauqua movement to thank orig.
inally for the park and auditorium
which is proving one of the finest pub
lie assets of the community. The
chautauqua should have the united
support of all the people.
Since three years ago the chautau-
qua committee is an organization en-
tirely apart and independent of the
ownership Of the park, the latter be,
ing now rented for the occasion as for
other gatherings. The signers for
each years program meet and elect

plans for conducting the ticket sale.
