couple of days there on business con

The theater is certainly most ap-

dicted splendid success for the ven
ture and were highly pleased over
the erection there of such a fine

west side of the river, where the
largest part of the population is To-
Gated.

BURGLAR STAYED FOR LUNCH

Sheriff Stewart went to Catawba
and elsewhere in search of the bur
glar Of the store of the Georges
Store Company, of Hawkins, the last
Of the week. Owing to the boldness
of the work, and the fact that Gil
bert King had SO shortly previous
escaped from the Ladysmith Jail,
there was some talk that the job had
been pulled off by him, but after in
vestigation, the sheriff is of the opin-
ion that there is no ground for the
suspicion.
The robber effected his entrance
by breaking a hole in the glass of
the front door large enough to ad-
nit his body. He found the safe door
open, and secured 500 in cash, by
cutting the tin back out of the cash
box, with the cheese knife. He also
helped himself to an $3.50 coat and
good square meal of crackers and
cheese, embroidered with canned
goods, etc.

Anton Racken Called

An impressive and largely attend
ed funeral was that of Anton Back
en- Monday, at the scandinavian LII
theran church, conducted by Rev.
John Ritland, interment being at the
Riverside cemetery. The services
which were in English, as we'll as
Norwegian, were beautifully appro-
pirate, the singing of the pastor and
Miss Anna Rockstad contributing
much to their touching character.
Manifestation of sympathy was gen.
eral, the casket was covered with
beautiful floral mementos, and in the
cortege were many of his fellow
members, of the w. o. w. and the
1. S. w. A, delegation of the lat
ter acting as his pallbearers.
Mr.. Backen was a fine, professional
cook, having served in that capacity
for several years, for the Owen Lum-
Der Co., of Drummond, before COM
ing to Ladysmith, some time ago.
Since his health began to fail, from
pulmonary trouble, four years ago,
he had lived with his brothers, Peter,
Martin and Ole, and his sister, Inga,
on their farm near the city, until in
November, going to the Sunny Rest
Sanitorium at Racine, where he died
Jan. 8th.
The death of Mr.. Backen-who was
not quite 80 years old, and who was
born in Hedenmarken, Norway, COM
ing to the u. S. in Sis the fourth
break in a family circle of IL chill
dren, four sisters, who survive him,
and his parents living in Norway.
A picture of the funeral cortege
was taken to be sent to the stricken
loved ones across the wide waters;
and with it will go the condolences
of many friends, that one of such
singularly Industrious habits, and
manly traits, should be called into
the Greater Mystery, ere yet his sun
of life had reached the hour of noon.

The community was startled to
| learn that Louis Stevens, who lives
on the farm of his fatherin-law, B.

At 9 o'clock that morning, he had

was found, the throat having been
cut in two places, it was supposed by
razor which was missing Mr..
Stevens, who was 20 years old, was
married last August to Miss Cleo
Brainerd On Dec. 21st, he under
went an operation for appendicitis,
and owing to dependency, has not
seemed to be himself since He was
a young man well known and thought
of by many, who will learn with gen
uine sorrow Of the unfortunate event.
Mr. Lewis Stevens came to Murry
from Brooks, Maine, two years ago
and since then worked on surround
ing farms.
The remains are being held for bur-
ial at the home of B. F. Brainerd,
awaiting the arrival Of his parents
from Maine, who are expected Fri
day. His brother, Clifford, arrived
from Chicago Wednesday.
Mrs. Lark Burpee, of Island Lake,

home on the day of the tragedy and
