Bent II. Hegdahl
Burned to Death
Aged Man Of Belyiew Loses Life
While Fighting Fire Near
His Home

The whole community of Bel
view was greatly shocked Tues
day afternoon at 3 o'clock when
it was learned that Bent HI. Heg-
dahl had been burned to death
while attempting to put out a
fire in a corn field across the
road from his residence. Mr..
Hegdahl was somewhat feeble
and it is thought he had ex-
hausted himself and fallen in the
fire, though this is a mere sup
position as no one was present.
The burned man was found by
Berget Lyslo and Glen Marcyes.
His clothing was nearly all
burned from the body and life
was all but gone, so that no as
sistance could be rendered. Cor
oner Brey was notified and after
an investigation Of the facts pro-
nounced death due to accidental
burning.
Bent H. Hegdahl was born in
Norway about 1889, and came
to this community while still a
young man, settling on a farm
in Swedes Forest Township
which he owned at the time OF
his death. Mr.. Hegdahl could
have numbered as his friends all
who knew him, for if he ever
had an enemy no one knew it,
and by his death is caused the
passing to the Great Beyond OF
one of the early and sturdy Red.
wood County pioneers.
Mr.. Hegdahl leaves to mourn
his death his wife, 4 daughters
and l son, respectively, Mrs. A
Peterson, Mrs. And. Gimmestad
Mrs. Arnie Lyslo, Miss Josephine
and Henry, all of Belview.
Two daughters, Mrs. M. Foss-

{. F. Brown Dies
AT Rochester
Yields to Depression Caused by
Overw0rk; Is Found Dead
in Elevator Shaft r

c.. F. Brown died at Roches-
ter early Wednesday morning,
his life having presumably been
taken by his own hand while in
a fit of dependency due to over
work. Mr.. Brown had been put
in charge of the Gamble-Robin-
son branch business at Roches-
ter early last January and had
worked, with almost superhuman
energy during the last three
months. His efforts had met
with unusual success, but Mr..
Brown had often expressed
the fear that his services did
not merit the high estimation
in which he was held by his en-
ployers. His desire to make
good" led him to neglect his
health and to work unceasing-
ly, which finally resulted in
complete nervous breakdown.
Mr.. Browns personal business
and the affairs of his firm were
in excellent condition, and there
is nothing to justify any sus-
picion of financial trouble hav-
ing led him to sacrifice his life.
Clifton Francis Brown was
born at Waterloo, Iowa, in Oc-
tober, 1891. He graduated from
the Waterloo High School and
the Business College there, COM
ing to Minneapolis with his par
ents in 1909. He Immediately
entered into the employ of the
Gamble-Robinson firm, working
two years at Minneapolis, and
the rest of the time as travel
ing salesman, until January of
this year when he was made
manager of the Rochester house.
1t was during his work as sales
man that Mr.. Brown became
known to Redwood Falls resi-
dents and made friends of ali
who knew him.
Mr.. Brown is survived by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter E.
Brown, living at 1901 Tenth
Ave. South, and his brothers, DR..
w. Brown of Fairfax, and Karl
Brown of Minneapolis.
Private funeral services were
held at the home Saturday af-
ternoon and a public service, I'M
der the direction of the Masonic
order at Lakewood Chapel. In
terment was made in Lakewood.
Rev. Aldrich of the Church of
the Redeemer read the service
at the home. Four young men
who had attended school with
Mr.. Brown acted as pallbearers,
and friends showed their respect
and sympathy by profuse and
beautiful floral offerings. Mr..
Brown was held in the highest
esteem by all who knew him and
his friends and relatives are all
deeply grieved at the untimely
death which checked a life of
success and usefulness.

Juniors Hosts to
Mighty Seniors
Reception at ArmOry Most Elab-
crate and Enjoyable of These
Annual Events

The Junior-Senior banquet at
the Armory given in honor OF
this years graduating class by
the class of '16, was perhaps
the most original and the most
artistic as well as the most elab-
crate affair held for years on
this annual occasion.
The entrance, a little artistic
lattice work done in green and
with swinging gate, was pre-
sided over by two colored foot
men lately imported from Ala
bama. They also ushered the
guests in and guided them
through the great crowd OF
hosts and guests to some bench
or lawn swing, for the hall was
fitted with out-of- door furniture,
1, plants, lawn swings. porch chairs
and hammocks, and resembled a
beautiful lawn ready for a gar
den fete.
The plan of the Juniors, to
have a baby picture of every
Senior present some where
about the hall, was a very clever
way to turn formal affair in
! to what they desired-a genuine
good time together. The pic
lures certainly helped break the
ice and were talked over and
laughed about until time to be-
gin the program, which had been
arranged under the direction of
Arthur Reynolds. The program
was short but pleasing, consist
ing of a piano duet by Eva Hen
re and Robert Fuller; reading
by Miss Anderson; solo by Mr..
Jordan and a whistling solo by
Ellen Horn.
Shortly after the program the
butler announced that the
banquet was served and all soon
found themselves in a maze OF
Maize and Blue, the Junior class
colors. The tables were deco
rated in maize and blue, the walls
were decked in maize and blue,
and even some of the food car
ried out the same color scheme.
The place and menu cards were
in the form of tiny diplomas and
with these each guest was given
a Jouquil, the '16 class flower.
Max Stevens acting as toast
master, carried out the plan OF
the Literary Digest. A toast
was given by Arthur Corcorar

The present legislature is one
of unusual intelligence and with

be little doubt that these several

The next two bills mentioned

laws actually upon the statute

the expense of that work to the
taxpayers, and when it is remem-

rates are the most valuable assets
of any commonwealth, it will be
understood why the proposed in

the railroad companies is one of
the best they could make, and it
