AN OPEN LETTER

An open letter to T. NJ Wal
drip, County Judge:
Sir-With due respect and
regard for your high official
position and political prestige,
as chief guardsman of the fin
ancial interests of Independ-
ence county, which are of so
paramount Importance to your
constituency, | beg to submit to
you, sir, a proposition for open
discussion, either through the
columns of the public press or
upon the public forum, some of
your acts as public servant in
the capacity of coutny clerk and
probate Judge.
Assuming that your public
record is an open book, will you
allow me, as one of the county,
tcitizens and taxpayers, to open
up those written pages of your
official record to other citizens,
that thereon may impress the
thumbmarks of public opinion?
Realizing the strong political
entrenchment of your position,
and knowing the falsity of your
criminal charges against me
while a deputy under you when
you We're county clerk, which in
doing you sacrificed the dignity
.of your official position, stopped
to qualification, took subterfuge
for base political intrigue and
sought to hide behind Judge,
jury and prosecuting attorney
to "clothe your ermine," | feel
1T my duty to demand of you a
fair, public discussion of the
matters suggested, and let the
citizens of independence coun-
ty be sole and exclusive Judge
of your official acts and stew
ardship.
Awaiting reply.

LITTLE EDGAR CHESSER

On Friday, November II,
1915, about 9 o'clock p. M,
God in his infinite wisdom and
mercy sent a band of his holy
angels to accompany little Ed
gar, son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. B.
Chesser, safely into his pres
ence.
Edgar was two years and fiji
teen days old. The very best
medical aid from several of the
hest physicians that could be
obtained attended him, and
while patient nurses and faith
.ful loved ones did all that low
ing hands could do. he gradual
lily grew weaker until the end
came.
The funeral services were
conducted by the writer on Sat
afternoon at 4 80. While
friends covered his casket and
grave with many beautiful
wreaths Of flowers, in token of
their love, he was laid to rest.
We expect to see him again in
the glorified body in Gods
house not made with hads,
where there are no more tears.
pains or sad goodbye
Twas bitter to commit his
little body to cold mother earth
and turn away and wait that
day when we can see him
again. Twas bittertofath and
mother to return home without
Edgar, but to these we can on
ly say, trust God for help, look
to Him who worketh al things
after the counsel of His own
will, Trust Him all the way, and
then some sweet day when Ed
gar is met again you will know
why you were left to struggle
and wait. Heaven is more pre-
cious since Edgar is there.
" A loved one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Gods angels called him home
to rest,
Because he loved him so.
Of course it was all forthe best,
But it was so hard to see him go
Edgar we know you can't come
back,
But we can go to YOU"

FAIR COMMITTEE is WORKING

Following is a copy of the letter
which the fair committee has been
sending out to farmers the past week:
Dear Sir:-For the purpose of CIV
ing every n an opportunity to ex-
press himself upon the question of
holding a Western Slope Agricul-
tural fair in this part Of the slope
county and believing that such a fair,
which will give to farmers, merchants
and all others of this section of the
state, an opportunity to exhibit their
products, will be of great benefit and
value to all, we have called a Mass
Meeting of the farmers, merchants
and others, to meet at the armory in
Dickinson, N. D., March 18th, 1916, at
100 p. M, to discuss the matter and
to perfect an organization.
It will also be necessary to consider
ways and means for obtaining suffi-
Gent ground on which to hold such a
fair, to erect sufficient and suitable
buildings, race track and fences; and
generally, the mean whereby we may
make such a fair Of the greatest bene-
fit to this western portion Of the
state.
We want you to talk this over with
your neighbors and to come to the
meeting, bringing your friends with
you.
Yours respectfully,

that it will be we'll for them to bring

here when the sun does not shine, and
evenings especially, all through the

So many people have an idea that
it is quite hot in Frisco in the sum-
mer, but the contrary is true, and it
will be we'll for all your readers to
bear this in mind when they pack their
trunks for the trip.
Very few pennants have arrived at

TO BISMARCK FOR TOURNAMENT

The district tournament for the
southwest section of the state is to
be held in Bismarck on Friday and
Saturday evenings of this week. It
will be a good rousing series of games
as two of the fastest teams of the
state will meet to decide the suprem-
acy of the district. The winner will
without doubt, land the high honor
in the state tournament in Grand
Forks in March. Although the Dick
inson team made a poor showing in
their game against Bismarck here a
few weeks ago, they are still in the
running, and will surely give a good
account of themselves when they meet
the Bismarckers in the series at the
week end. There will probably be
only four teams for the contests.
Beach lost here by a large score but
they have a plucky team and with a
little practice can make a much bet
ter showing than they did in Dickin-
son last Friday evening. Mott is the
dark horse, having played none Of
the teams which will be at the tour
nament, neither has she played any
of the teams which these teams have
met so that there are no scores to
compare.
Coach Carlson and his sturdy war
riors left Thursday afternoon for the
capital city. Kenneth Gardner, who
has been giving the boys instructions,
also accompanied the team. Several
of the supporters planned to make the
trip; some went down Thursday morn
ing while others were hoping to get
away for the last game Saturday
evening. The squad that will repre-
sent the Dickinson high school con-
sists of the following players: Erb,
Hartung, Richards, Rase, Morrison,
Brodie, Butler and McCutchan.

DEATH OF JOHN J. SORENSON

Belfield Times:-As we chronicled
in u last issue, John S. Sorenson
passed away at the Norwegian. Luth-
cram hospital in Minneapolis last Fri
day morning, cause of death being a
blood clot on the brain. The clot had
probably been incipient for some time,
becoming intensified as a result of an
operation for appendicitis and gall
stones.
Such a great and good man! How
can we of mortal intelligence portray
such a character as his, pregnated as
it was with spiritual courage. The
news of his death was so barred with
pain and sorrow, we find it almost
impossible to free ourselves from the
grief that holds u.s., to express in
words our inmost feelings. And
sometimes our grief and sorrow seems
unreal, it appearing incredible that all
that was mortal of our friend and
townsman lies peacefully at rest in a
Silent City.
John SOrenSon "a a man who
walked in the fear of God and obeyed
His commandments. And one of the
greatest, if not the greatest lessons
he left behind, was that an honest and
virtuous man could be successful in
the business world. At his death John
Sorenson was worth many thousands
of dollars, and what a comfort to his
bereaved wife and son to know that
every penny was obtained honestly.
Conscience guided his every act. He
was a model of mental industry in his
efforts to raise the moral standard of
our city and unite it's people in efforts
that would elicit the pleasure of the
Son of God. In short he was a
Christian, as also an honorable gentle
man in the highest that term
implies. To man, woman or child,
saint or sinner, he always extended a
cordial greeting, in a manner which
never failed to lend a ray of light
to- brighten their pathway in the
journey of life. He was an ardent
adherant to the Norwegian Lutheran
faith, but commanded the respect of
all sects and classes of people, as the
attendance at his memorial services
fully verified. It vas perfectly
natural for him to do right. Al
though highly esteemed in life, did
we fully appreciate the man until
after the thread of life was severed?
Belfeld could not afford to part with
= Mr.. Sorenson, yet we r comforted
in the knowledge that "He, who doeth
all things WELL" makes no mistake.
Memorial services were held for the
deceased in the opera house Monday

berger, had been close business asso-
ciates Of Mr.. Sorenson since his COM
ing to Belfeld some seven years ago.
The funeral services were held

the home of his parents. The serv-

DEATH OF JOHN LERFALD

Belfield Times:-After a lingering
illness covering the better part of
three years, death came to the relief
of John Lerfald, Thursday morning,
February Is, 1915, at the age of IS
years, 1 month and 2 days, having
been born December &c, 1879, at
Frazier, Wis.
At Frazier Mr.. Lerfald lived until
1883, when, with the family, he moved
to Fergus Fills, MINI. He made that
city his home until 1906, when mar
rled and moved to Belfield. Here, in
partnership with his brother, Julius,
ne started the Belfield Meat Market,
which was successfully conducted un-
til the fall of 1911, when it was sold
to the firm of johnson & Corbett.
Failing health on the part of both
himselt and his wife, was the prin-
cipa! reason for Mr.. Lerfald discon-
tinuing his business interests. At
that time his wife's health was con-
siderably impaired and in the follow
ing May the Angel of Death called
her spirit home.
After mat Mr.. Lerfald sank slowly,
but surely and although everything
was done known to the medical world,
nothing proved sufficiently potent to
stay the ravages of the malady which
had him in it's throes.
Besides two small children, Leola
Pauline, aged 8, and Hjalmer Olaf,
aged 5, deceased leaves to mourn his
loss an aged father, o. o. Lerfald,
three brothers and two sisters, viz:
Tony, of Anoka, Mimi; Julius and
Ludwig of Belfeld; Mrs. M. Brotten,
Fryburg and Mrs. William Braatz,
Sank Center, MINI.
The funeral services were held from
the opera house this morning, inter-
ment being made in the Lutheran
cemetery. Mr.. John Howard Park,
Scientist, and first reader in the
Church Of Christ, Billings, Mont, con-
Quoted the services, assisted by the
first reader of the local society.
