LARS WILLIAMSON.


Lars Christian Williamson died this
morning at three o'clock at the home
Of his son-in-law, J. M. Olson, 709
Second St. E., with whom he has iv-
ed for seventeen years. Death was
caused by pneumonia and a weak
heart from which he has been ill for
three weeks.
Mr.. Williamson was born March s,
1929 at Christiania, Norway, and had
thus attained the age of sc years,
months and 10 days. He came to this
country in the early days locating
first at Chicago where he worked for
two years as a carpenter, after which
he returned to his fatherland. He
spent two years in Norway but re-
turned to America once more, coming
to Willmar to make his home with the
J. M. Olson family, who resided on a
farm north of the city at that time.
He was married January 8th, 1856,
to Marie Martha Gulbrandson of Nor
way. She died seventeen years ago.
Two daughters, Mrs. Hanna Hanson
and Mrs. J. M. Olson have also gone
before their father. The son, John
Williamson of Chicago is the only
child who is left to mourn his father
besides eight grand children and four
great grand children and other rela-
tives and fri nds.
The funeral will be held Monday
forenoon at 1870 from the house and
at one-thirty from the Solomon Lake

succession, every one taking effect,
two in the arm near the shoulder, one
through the cheek, one in the thigh
and one over the heart. Then La
Marche jumped from the wagon and
started on a run toward a coulee on
the south. The team ran into the farm
yard and were caught by Johnschuk,
who secured them, helped Morine in
to the house and then took rife and
started in pursuit of the would-be
murderer. H, was Joined in the chase
by a posse of .neighbors who had as
sembled quickly after the shooting.
Phone messages were sent to the
North Portal and Estevan depots OF
the R. N. w. M. P. and, within a very
few minutes the man hunt began in
earnest. Constable Wassen, of the
Estevan depot, was driven down in a
car by Hugh Robinson and was early
on the scene. He came up to La
Marche, who had been hunted out oil
the coulee, and had turned north to
ward Estevan At sight Of the con
stable, LaMarche opened fire on him
and a rapid exchange of shots follow
ed, the constable endeavoring to gel
his man without killing him. One sho'
hit LaMarche's gun, breaking piece
from the muzzle and passing along
the side, cut the outlaws hand. Thu

and among the stacks of hay ant

Marche again got away, for he was a
swift runner:
A mad chase through the valley
and in the direction of the Morine
farm, soon brought the party to the
scene of action, only to find the trag'
edy ended. LaMarche lay face down
on the ground, with bullet through
his head. In the running gunfight be-
tween the fugitive and the constable
the latters supply Of cartridges was
spent. In this situation they approach
ed an auto and LaMarche opened fire
on the occupants. Constable Wassen
then called to them to shoot, at which
Johnschuk fired the fatal bullet and
LaMarche fell to the ground, dying
about ten minutes later. A few min
utes after, the detachment from North
Portal arrived on the scene, and later
came many others who had gathered
from the neighboring towns in answer
to the alarm sent out.

ALASKA PLACER
MINER At W|LLMAR
Jens Ki|and, Former Wi|Imarite,
Visits Brothers and
Cousins Here.

Jens Kiland, prospector and mine
owner Of Fairbanks, Alaska, spent last
week at Willmar visiting with his bro
Their, Bertinus Kiland, and his second
cousins in the other families that bear
the same name, as we'll as the Gran
gard, Boyd and Tallackson families.
Mr.. Jens Kiland left Thursday for
Minneapolis and on Monday started
for Seattle where he will spend the
winter preparing for his next season
in that far-away land of fabulous un-
developed riches.
Jens kiland left for Alaska in 1899
and has visited every part of the ter
ritory. He first went to British Col
umbia but soon drifted over the line.
He has travelled the whole length of
the Yukon and he has visited the far
north water courses thru which Am
undsen found the northwest passage.
The first two years he was absolutely
alone in his prospecting. 1t is safe to
say that he has found and exhausted
many fortunes in placer mines dur
ing the years he has spent in Alaska.
The enormous prices charged for lab
or and necessities of life would break
a mine which would pay enormously
in the States. Early this year Mr..
Kiland bought 10 pound dressed
pig for $6S, and other provisions are
charged for in proportion. He has a
mine in operation now near Fairbanks,
being conducted by hired labor Mr..
Kiland las acquired some wealth, but
still is not satisfied. He says he will
yet strike the bonanza that will give
him what he wants.
Mr. Kiland is walking encyclo-
pedia of Alaskan information, and is
we'll posted on the Alaskan develop
ment questions. He said that a new
map Of the territory will be published
in about six months. The name Kill
and will be perpetuated as the name
of river in that new country. His
visit at Willmar was a great treat to
his relatives and the friends whom
he met.

Faulk had the distinction of having
been guest at the original wedding
when Lars Moline and Anna Halvors-
dotter were married at Haga in Mas
parish, Kopparberg's Ian, Sweden, on
Nov. 10, 1865.
Many friends of city and county
