in Many Years.

When Judge Roeser convened the
December term of the Stearns Coun-

Of cases listed will have to be heard
by some other judge than Judge
Roeser as the litigation was started
before his advent to the bench, as

come up probably, before February.

Thrilling Experience Friday
Explosion Prevented. -.

Friday, shortly after noon the Sank
Centre Fire department was called
out to put out fire which threaten
ed, to completely destroy Louie Sitt-
kos Thomas Flyer automobile. This
car had been overhauled, srepainted
and generally fixed up last spring. At
that time a Stewart vacuum gasoline
feed was installed in place of the
pump system which had supplied the
gasoline to the carburetor formerly.
The old system was placed on the left
side of the dash under the hood and
when the vacuum system was Install
ed the old system was not removed and
the small tank holding about quart
Of gasoline and which is a part of the
Stewart system, was placed on the
right-hand side of the dash under the
hood. This brought the tank direct
ly over the terminals of the wires
leading from the magnetic, which were
covered by a leather boot. A pet
cock at the bottom of the tank Jared
open and the gasoline dripped onto
the boot. A loose terminal or poor
insulation furnished the spark which
ignited the gasoline.
A farmer who had passed Sittko
about four miles out of town noticed
the blaze and tried to call the latter's
attention to it but Louie knew nothing
of it until he stopped the-car at the

enjoyed his acquaintance for many
years speak in the highest terms of
his many fine traits of character.

RURAL TELEPHONE MEETING
Sank Valley Rural Telephone Com
pany Holds Annual Meeting in
Sank Centre Monday.

The Sank Valley Rural Telephone
Co., held their annual meeting at the
City Hall, Sank Centre Monday after
noon. A goodly number of stockhold-
ers were present when President John
Kortan called the meeting to order.
The report of Treasurer Hillerud
showed that the receipts for the year
amounted to $822.29, and disburse-
ments of $711.02, leaving balance of
$52.27 in the treasury. The company
still has outstanding live accounts
amounting to $243.16, and dead ones
amounting to $66.91. 1t cost $278.79
to keep the lines in order and pay the
taxes. The extensions during the year

lected for this purpose. The follow
ing officers were elected unanimously:
President-John Kortan.
Vice-president-Jo Gray.
Sec.-Treas.-E. K. Fcsberg.
Dirctors-District No. /, A. H. Hen
erickson; No. 2, K. o. Samuelson; No.
3, A. M. Birdsell; No. 4, ]. L. Gray;
No. S, M. Sanders.

of So per share on all stock for the
coming year. The regular fees pro-
vided by the bylaws are $500, max
ing the total charge for the coming
year of $500 per phone.
The difficulty IN collecting long
distance tolls made it advisable to
elect the same man secretary and
treasurer, and Rev. Fosberg was the
unanimous choice for this position.
A. H. Hendrickson served notice
that he would at the next annual
meeting move to amend the com
pany's bylaws relative to the yearly
charge for each phone. -
During the past year the company
has rebuilt their lines in many places
with the result that it is in better
shape than for years. The company
also closes the year with more money
in the treasury than for several years.

Justice Schaller, the lone Democrat
on the bench, do not want Mr.. Smith
to make the race for the supreme
court and this may have something to
do with the governorship talk. Gen.
eral Smith said some days ago that he
would undoubtedly announce what he
would do Immediately after the first
of the year.
Frank Eddy of Sank Centre was in
the Twin Cities recently and his pres
ence revived the talk that he may be
found shortly in the ranks of those
who have designs on Congressman
Lindbergh's job. Mr.. Eddy would not
say that he would make the race, but
he was more than anxious to hear the
latest news from the district. He
was interested. Friends figure that
Mr.. Eddy will enter the fight but that
the announcement of his candidacy
will not, be made for some months.
Frank is too. old hand at the game
to invite bricks at this early date Mr.
Eddy by the way, does not think much
of the new presidential preference
primary. He believes it would lose
out in a court test.
Congressman Miller of the Eighth
district Is hot on the trail of those
who, he says, have mismanaged the
Philippines, and his writings on the
subject have caused several to sit up
and take notice. One rural paper in
commenting On his charges was I'M
kind enough to hint that Mr.. Miller
has his eye on the governor general

Chairman.

and George Rosenberger, who knew
the car thoroughly and what danger
he would be in, raised the hood and
the chemical from the fire apparatus
quickly extinguished the blaze.
George had his eyebrows and hair
singed slightly. The top of the aux
iliary tank on the dash had been melt
ed off and thus prevented an explo-
sion. The fire damaged the machine
about $50.

BY Mrs. C. C. Tobey.

/ The funeral of Mrs Charlotte A.
Barto was held in the Congregational
church, Friday afternoon, December
8, 1915, at two o'clock. Rev. w. ].
Brown, pastor of the Congregational
church conducted the services, assist
ed by Rev. Robert Duel of the NJ. E.
church. The building was filled TO
utmost capacity, which, with the
wealth Of floral offerings, attested
the love and esteem in which Mrs.
Barto was held by her friends, and
the organizations of which she was a
member.
The public library was closed for
the afternoon in token of respect
and love for one of it's valued board.
Rev. Brown chose for his text the
words of the great apostle Paul: "For

me to live is Christ" He dwelt upon
the satisfaction felt by the individual
and the community and even the
whole world in well lived life, full
of usefulness and purpose. 1t was a
worthy tribute to such a full life as
the one just closed. There seemed to
be a sacred hush and reverence perme-
ating the large audience. Silent tears
were falling, but the grief of relatives
as we'll as friends ana neighbors was
too deep for any outward show. One
was reminded of the words of Tenny-
son, in Crossing the Bar" "Sunset
and evening star and one clear call
for me, and may there be no moaning
at the bar when put out to sea; But
such tide as moving seems asleep,
too full for sound or foam, When that
which drew from out the boundless
deep, turns again home" The choir
sang with feeling: Nearer My God
to Thee and "Asleeo in Jesus" Mrs.
Rudolph Hansen sang 'fI'm a Pilgrim
and I'm Stranger" The pallbear-
ers were chosen from the younger
married friends of Mrs. Barto. They
were Messrs. Strebel, Lamb Irish,
Fish, Richards, and Hansen.
Mrs.: Barto was laid to rest by the
side, of her husband who died in 1899,
and her grave was strewn with flow
ers. Family and friends quietly and
resignedly returned home to take up
their work in the world, without the
loved one who had ever been an in
spiration to them, feeling strong be-
cause of the influence exerted upon
them by such noble life.
Mrs. Charlotte Allen was born at
Ferrisburg, VT, Nov. 9th, 1845. She
was the eldest daughter in a family
of ID children, the last two being
children of second mother. Her
parents were William and Mary Ann
(Marble) Allen. At the age of nine
years the family moved to Illinois,
where they have since resided. AS a
girl Miss Allen was studious and
thoughtful, and early in life entered
the ranks of teachers, and as an index
of her work may be quoted the words
of one of her pupils: 81 like to go
to school to Miss Allen because she
makes us learn" Miss Allen was
married to Capt. Alphonso Barto
Oct. II, 1866, and moved from Cen
eva, ILL.,, to Sank Cntre in 1869. One
son was born to them, William Allen
Barto.
There are left to mourn the loss of
Mrs. Barto, this son and a step-son,
Lyman R. Barto, who was as dear to
her as her own son; a sister, Mrs. j.
R. Howard; two brothers, Eddy w.

Louie rushed into the depot, told the
men to send in the alarm and went

them. The fire truck arrived shortly

mother has been noble and true
mother to all the family, and is be-
loved by all. She has spent much
time in Sank Centre with Mrs. Barto,
and is we'll known here. The blow
of Mrs. Barto's death undoubtedly falls
heavier upon Mrs. Allen than upon
any of the other relatives. All the
others having their families to COM
fort them; Mrs. Allen being alone, and
only few days before Mrs. Barto's
departure from Sank Centre, had
passed through the loss of another
daughter who died very suddenly.
Mrs. Barto leaves five grandchildren
and one great-grandchild.
There were present at the funeral:
