Q BITUA RY
ROSE HALBOM GABRIELSON

ROSE HALBOM GABRIELSON
Mrs. Rose Gabrielson, beloved wife
of Carl A. Gabrielson, passed away last
Monday morning, death being caused
by complications following childbirth,
leaving husband and five children, the
oldest of which is seven years of age
and the youngest, the babe for whom
she gave her life.
The deceased was the eldest daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Halbom of
Diamond Lake. She was born in Will.
mar township, south of the city, Nov
7, 1888. In 1902, the family moved to
Diamond Lake. On Oct. Z, 1907, Miss
Rose was married to Carl A. Gabriel
son. They made their home on the old
Kirby place in Sec. "a, Town of Green
Lake. The husband stands dumb with
grief with the motherless children
Little Irene, Lille, Harlan, Alice and
the new born. The entire family, in
cluding parents, brothers and sisters,
have the profound sympathy of the
community.
Vainly cropping after the infinite
meanings we cry: Why should so
precious, so necessary a life be taken?
The old, old question which will nev-
er be answered till the veil of our NOR
tai vision be rent by immortality, and
we see, not as now, darkly, but face
to face. Then also may we behold the
Heavenly mansion which perhaps she
was called thither, thus early, to help
prepare for her loved ones.
'For none return from those Spirit
shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and
pale.
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch CLEAN of the snowy sail.
We only know that their barques no
more
May sail with us DER lfes stormy
sea-"
The funeral takes place today (Wed.
| nesday). The cortege leaves the
home at ten o'clock and is expected to
arrive at the Swedish Baptist church
at Willmar at about one o'clock, where
services will be conducted by Rev
Hallin. The interment takes place al
Fairview.

BANDITS ATTEMPTED
ESCAPE WAS F0|LED
Discouraged by Failure Men
Plead Guilty and We're
Sentenced.

An unsuccessful attempt to "break
jail was made last week by Patrick
Murphy and Joseph Schweikert, the
two holdup artists who were in the
county Jail, awaiting action Of the
grand jury, which meets next week.
1t will be remembered that Murphy
and Schweikert were arrested in this
city the 29th of August last, after
robbing about twelve men, bound for
the North Dakota harvest fields. The
hold up occurred in box cars, on
Sioux freight between this city and
Raymond, about 1880 the night of the
2Sth. Showing plenty Of nerve, the
men came to this city and took a
room for the night, thinking they were
safe from pursuit. They reckoned
without the night porter, however, and
due to some good work on his part,
the men were arrested. Their hear
ing was held the following afternoon,
and they were bound over.
OF the two men, Murphy was the
bad actor. Schweikert seemed to serve
more as a tool for his companion,
than otherwise.
Seeing his chance, Murphy slipped
large sized pocket knife up his
sleeve, before he was put into his
cell, and this was unnOticed when a
final search was made. That he was
ION to his job" and was no novice at
the game, was also shown when he
smuggled a small saw, about six inch
es long, into the cell. having it hidden
in his suspenders. AS a general rule,
prisoners are given the liberty of pac-
ing up and down the cage, just outside
the cell. This was denied these pris-
oners, however, for some time after
their removal to the county Jail. Moth
ing daunted, Murphy set about think
ing how to get out. The result was that
he whitfield out block Of wood, about
an inch square and four or five inches
long. He then broke the saw into
three parts and fitted one of them
into the block Of wood, making tool
his opportunities, he took every
chance he could get to saw at the steel
bars on the cell. He made small head
way at that, however, as the bars are
of the best steel.
A short time later, the men were
given the privilege of using the cage,
to exercise in. The floor of the cage
is made of steel, about one-fourth of
an inch thick, and at the west end,
small hole had been drilled with the
intention of running a pipe thru. This
evidently gave Murphy another idea.
Anyway, he set about studying the

HARDANGER BANQUET
AN ELABORATE AFFAIR
''Ihe Wedding Procession" Was
Enacted on Foot Lake
And in Park.

Brudeferden Hardanger (The we'd
ding procession in Hardanger) was en-
acted on Foot lake and at the county
park previous to the annual banquet
of Hardanger-laget last Thursday eve
ming, to the delight of the hundreds of
visitors. Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Rasmus-
sen impersonated the groom and bride.
They had attended three real Hard
anger weddings on their trip to Nor
way last year and were thought to
know just how the custom prevails at
the present time. The bride wore the
latest style of "crown" that is used in
Hardanger today. There were eight
cen or twenty girls dressed in the pref
ty Hardanger costume, which added
much to the pretty effect Of bridal par
ty. Five boats carried the party from
John Skoolheim's residence around the
point to Thorpe's landing. Two old
country fiddlers stood in the boats and
played their wedding music. One of
them, K. H. Skaar, of Stoughton, Wis,
was much affected. 1t is thirty years
ago since he played at real Hardan-
ger wedding in Norway, and the trip
across the still waters brought back
memories from many festive occasions
in his youth. AS the bridal procession
boats appeared around the point sal
vos of gunshots were given by Gud-
mund Karwand and assistants on the
lake road. All the visitors greeted the
party as it landed and fell in after
the wedding procession as it passed
up thru the park with Mr.. Skaar in
the lead playing his old country vio-
lin. The procession passed into the
auditorium and the impersonators
were given seats of honor at the head
table in front Of the stage. No we'd
ding ceremony was attempted.
Nearly five hundred people sat down
to the banquet of appetizing old coun-
try dishes, to which full justice was
done, while the Citizens Band of Will
mar gave a concert from the stage.
S. S. Tveit, president of Hardanger-
laget, was the tOastmaster and later
kept things moving very entertaining
ly with responses to toasts, vocal Sc
lections from Normaendenes glee
club and violin music. The occasion
was happy one to all who attended.
The reunion of Hardanger-laget at
Willmar was a success. The visitors
expressed themselves as very much
pleased with the entertainment pro-
vided for them here, and carried home
with them memories of again meeting
with old country neighbors and friends
with whom they lived in the Valley
OF Hardanger in the auld lang syne.

2eo ACRES AT 500
Bergquist Brothers Sell kandiyohi
Farm at Top-notch Price So Far
For Large Farm In County.

6er0qu1st Brothers Sell kandtyoht
Farm at Top-notch Price So Far
For Large Farm In County.
Victor and Thelander Bergquist have
sold their farm near Kandiyohi Sta
ton to Mr.. J. A. Dolbeck of Spencer,
Iowa, at $1O9 per acre. The farm con-
sists of 280 acres. One quarter Sec
tion the boys purchased a year or two
ago from Mrs. Mold at $S5 per acre.
Another tract of 120 acres they pur-
chased from c. w. Lonn at $74 per
acre. Since purchasing the proper
ties the boys have built a handsome
basement barn, the largest Playford
cement stave silo in the neighborhood,
16x42h feet with capacity of nearly
200 tons of ensilage, and made other
improvements. The silo was a good
investment, and Victor thinks it's pres
ence helped the sale of the property.
The Bergquist boys are not decided
on what they will do next, but will
no doubt purchase another farm when
they find something that looks good
to them. Otherwise they will dispose
of their stock and personal property
next spring.
This real estate deal was made by
A. H. Brown of Willmar. Mr.. Dol
beck will take possession next March.
A Mr.. Lundgren, a brother-in-law of
Mr.. Dolbeck, will run the farm next
season.

.Cn. IS OF the sheriff, when he came
ansc2/ It, and, when he was certain
no on> 81 >home but the women folks
he Went Co., "ork saving, getting his
start fromp 5 hole which had been
drilled. Here Schweikert came in
handy, as Murphy had him pace up
and down the cage, pretending to get
his exercise, while all the time his
footballs were drowning the sound Of
the scraping of the saw. At one time
Mrs. Bonde heard the sound, and
thinking something was wrong,
an investigation was made, but moth
ing was discovered. After saving a
little, Murphy took one of the bed
posts from his cot in the cell and used
that to bend and break off pieces with.
When the opening assumed definite
shape, he used the big floor mop to
cover it with. No one would ever
think floor mop would be used for
such purpose, he figured.
After the opening in the floor was
large enough for him to crawl thru,
Murphy went under the cell to dig
his way out. There is space of about
two feet from the floor to the earth
beneath. This gave him plenty of
room to crawl, and at the same time
to work his way to the south wall of
the foundation. That a man of his
size and build ever managed to crawl
thru the jagged hole in the floor is
almost beyond belief. There was no
way for him to smooth off the rough
edges Of the steel, and there were
many sharp points sticking out Ac-
cording to Jim, the Italian, who shot
his cousin in a box car scrape some
months ago and who is awaiting ac-
tion by the grand jury, said it took
Murphy at least ten minutes to work
his way thru the hole. Then it was
necessary for his accomplice to help
him. Jim was forced to keep his
mouth shut, as they threatened to
finish him if he gave warning of what
was going on.
The sheriff noticed the blisters on
Murphy's light hand, caused by the in
cossant saving, but the latter vouch-
safed no information as to their cause.
1t is hard to tell what would have hap
pened, had not the men overdone
themselves last Friday when they at
tempted to "hold out" table knife,
when their dinner was served to them.
This aroused the suspicious of the
sheriff and he went down to investi-
gate. 1t didn't take him very long to
find out what had been going on, and
then the men knew that the jig was
up.
Murphy said, that given another two
days, and they would have made a
safe getaway. 1t seems that when he
found his progress hindered by the
foundation on the south side, he had
sawed off an old brace, from under
meath the cells, and had fashioned that
into sort Of crowbar figuring he
could loosen the stones in the founda-
ton with it. Failing in that he said
he would have tunnelled down under
meath the wall and then up, beyond
Jail. While Murphy was busy under
the building, Schweikert put in his
time working at the hole in the floor,
making it larger.
That Murphy must have suffered ex-
