The funeral of Hans Olson, for
thirty two years a resident in this
city, was held from the Swedish
church Wednesday afternoon last week
and was attended by large concourse
of friends of the deceased and his
family. Rev. Olson conducted the
services and paid many kindly tributes
to the dead.
Most everybody in Morris knew
Hans Olson although he was a man
Of quiet and unassuming ways. For
thirty-tw years he had been in the
employ of the Great Northern as
section hand in Morris and had scarce
ly missed a day. Through rain or
storm or sunshine he had been at
his post and his pay had ranged from
80 cents to $1.5O. The company
looked upon him as one of it's most
trusted men and during the last seven
years he came and went as he pleased
but there was no diminishing pay
check. Last August he suffered
sunstroke and since that time his
health began failing rapidly. He was
born at Lund. Sweden, July %, 1841
where he received a good common
school education and grew to manhood
and was married to the good woman
who survives him. In 1880 they came
to America, settling at Hammonds-
vile, N. Y, and three years later
came to Morris. Five grown-up
children mourn his death. They are
Andrew Olson, of St. Paul; Mrs. P.
Mumbleau, Burtrum, Minn.; Mrs.
Chas. Trombley, Bantry, N. D.;
John Olson, Watertown, S. D., and
Mrs. Chas. Lunner, Of Mckenzie. N.
D. Andrew, John and Mrs. Lunner
came to attend the funeral.

BOARD OF CONTROL
WILL HELP DECIDE
Necessity for Modern Jail Ac-
commodations Takes County
Dads to St. Paul

The matter of new county Jail
for Stevens county will be taken be-
fore the state board of control by the
board of county commissioners next
week. Other business brings the
commissioners to St. Paul next Mon
day and while there plans and specifi-
cations recommended for county jails
will be looked into.
For several years the necessity of
better Jail accommodations has been
recognized in Stevens county and the
commissioners have discussed the mat
ter at various meetings. Changes at
the court house where the Jail is To-
Gated cannot be undertaken until the
state board gives it's approval. The
Jail in this county is in danger Of con-
demnation proceedings and in that
case new building would have to be
provided. The commissioners will
find out what should be done under
these circumstances.
In case new Jail is decided upon
at some early meeting the commits
sioners may decide upon plans for
converting the present Jail floor space
into rooms for the county superinten-
dent of schools, the county surveyor
and possibly the county agent. None
of these officials have offices of their
own at the court house. People of
the county who have business with
them are puzzled where to find them
when they have business to transact
at any of these offices.
Another matter that will be taken
up with the state board is that of a
poor farm, or poor house, in Stevens
county. A proposition is before the
county commissioners to establish a
place of this kind. The voters and tax
payers will be given full information
concerning these matters when the
commissioners return.

SIVERTS SR. WILL BE-
GLAD TO EXPLAIN
Prominent Morris Banker Tells
Young Men about Fine OPP
portunity to Get Homes

Considerable interest has been
created in Morris by the announcement
of the governments intention to open
the Fort Berthold Indian reservation
lands in North Dakota. There are
many who wish to register but are
at loss to know just how to proceed.
Registrations began at Minot, Plaza
and Bismarck last Monday and it is
estimated that over 5000 people
placed their names on the books the
first day. Registrations will close
Saturday night next week, and the
drawings will be made November a.
There are 110.OO acres to be thrown
open to homesteaders and the lucky
one will secure the lands at the ap-
praised value which ranges from So
to ST. The land is said to be worth
much more. Most of it has been
farmed for years.
Among those in Morris who have
been over the reservation lands is
Mr.. S. A. Siverts, Sr., who has son
now homesteader on the reservation.
Mr.. Siverts was there few weeks
ago and he describes the land as the
best in that section of North Dakota.
The land is located in Montrail and
Trail counties, north and east of the
Missouri river, and most of it is roll
ing prairie. Mr.. Siverts says he will
be glad to tell prospective homestead
ers all he knows about the land and
the best methods of locating claim.
He thinks it will be worth anyone's
time and money to register and to
prove up and hold the allotment in
case one wins a 160-acre tract in the
drawing.
Jeweler Grosland at the Lund
jewelry store has farm on the re-
servation ten miles south of Plaza and
he states the country is sure crop
producer. The country is we'll settled
in this vicinity and land is worth
from $50 to $50 per 7acre.s The re-
servation lands to be opened are only
few miles distant and he says all
of it is rich farm land. It has been
appraised by the government at 81 to
81 per acre and homesteaders will
be required to pay this amount
Fifteen percent of the amount must
be paid at time of entry and the bal
ance may run for a period of thirty
years at four percent.
Mr.. Siverts is in no way connected
with the sale of the land or in the
fortunes of any locator or other person
who may derive a benefit from home
steaders. He feels an interest in
the young men of the county and
wishes to do what he can to promote
their welfare. Any information he
possesses will be given cheerfully
and without charge.

Lid Goes on at Hibbing

Forty-six saloons in Hibbing and
Chisholm will close their doors Nov.
l by order of the government. Hib-
bing is the largest town on the iron
range and will be the largest town
in Minnesota without saloons after
Nov. /.
The order to close has been expect
ed for some time and the saloon men
have prepared for the evil day. Both
towns are located within the bound
aries of the Indian treaty and just
why they have been permitted to run
their saloons so long after the other
places closed has not been fully ex-
planned.

Many Saw Corn Show

All roads lead to Ortonville last
Thursday and many were the people
from Morris and vicinity who ira
veled on them. Only eighteen tickets
were sold at the Great Northern depot
for the excursion train but about as
many more got on without tickets be-
cause they were late in getting
around. Then there were about two
dozen who went over in automobiles.
Those who attended the show say it
was great but not quite so good as
the first one at Morris three years
ago. Traverse county had a dandy
corn exhibit and Traverse county ex-
hibitors cleaned up on the prizes.

VERDICT FOR MEYER
In ORTONYILLE SUIT
Famous Land Commission Case
From Morris Occupies Week
of Legal Sparring

One of the hardest fought legal
battles ever brought before Bigstone
county jury was finished in the district
court at Ortonville last Saturday
morning when Dan Meyer was award
ed a verdict of SIS, 100 with interest
at six per cent from September 1909,
against the Keating Land and Mort
gage Co., of this city. The trial
occupied whole week, and two night
sessions were necessary. Meyer is
a land man in Morris and his suit
against the Keating company was
brought to secure commissions on the
sale of 2, 400 acres of land disposed
of for the company in September 1909.
The case attracted wide interest be-
cause of the amount and the prom
inence of the men involved.
The case was started in 1911 and
the first trial came at Ortonville in
1913 which resulted in a verdict for
the Keating company. An appeal
was taken and the supreme court sent
it back for trial on all issues. Judge
Qvale, of Willmar, was the presiding
judge last week and Attorney Meyer,
of South Bend, Ind,. assisted by
Kaercher & Ferch, of Ortonville,
represented the plaintiff, and E. T.
Young and Cliff & Purcell, of Orion
vile, represented the defendant. The
total amount of the verdict given
Meyer last week amounts to $6,.
969.50 and the defendant will also
have to stand the cost of both trials,
which will be considerable.
1t is understood the Heating com
pany will prepare an appeal and the
end is not vet.

new LOCK TO FOIL
MONEYLESS SHARKS
Spook-hour Billiard Tournament
with Proprietor Absent Gets
in Bad with Mr.. Abrams

The Brunswick billiard and pool
hall has a new lock on it's doors today
and there will be no more pool play
ing during the supposed spook hours
between midnight and dawn. The
new proprietor, j. F. Abrams, prefers
to be about the place to check up on
the games whenever there is any
playing to be done on his tables.
Tuesday morning when Mr.. Abrams
arrived he found the lights burning
brightly, all the pool balls were scat
tered about on all five tables, and
cigar butts and cigarette stubs Uttered
the floors. All the doors were locked.
When he left the place Monday night
at II AS the floors were swept, the
cues and balls were in their racks, the
tables were covered and the lights ex-
tinguished. He closed the door behind
him, hooked them to make sure they
were locked and then departed in a
feeling of security. Who turned on
the lights, distributed the balls on the
tables and threw the cigars and Gig
arettes on the floor he does not know.
He says he has no particular objection
30 any of his friends playing pool
after hours but he does object to leav-
hg the lights on and the meter click
lhg off the feet for the light company
TO collect.
That his Monday night visitors were
friends in disguise is evidenced from
the fact that the change in the cash
register was left untouched. Not a
cigar was missing from the cases.
None of the visitors possessed a
"sweet TOOTH for every piece of
chocolate in the candy cases remained
exactly. as when Mr.. Abrams went
home.
Mr.. Abrams does not believe in
spooks or spirit manifestations,
Therefore he has arranged iron bolts
On the back door and a new locksfol
which he alone carries the key, has
been clapped on the front entrance.

ADVANCE IN COTTON
THE MARKET STEADY.
Placing Cotton on Contra
band List Creates no
Serious Situation

New York, August 25.-An early de-
cline in the cotton market today was
followed by an advance which carried
December contracts back to the e1s
cent level. with the close steady at a
net gain of from 1 to points.
Relatively steady Liverpool cables
were ignored at the start and the mar
ket opened barely steady at a decline
of to s points under scattering liaui-
dalton or local pressure The official
oontraband declaration which had been
expected for sometime past. appeared
to attract very little fresh attention.
and the break seemed chiefly the re-
suit of nervousness over international
politics Wall street and commission
houses were the heavier sellers on tho
decline which carried active months
about to 9 points net lower shortly
after the call, with October contracts
selling at 9.10c and January at 9.51c,
or at the lowest levels reached since
the publication OF the August bureau.
Reports of favorable weather in the
south probably contributed to bearish
sentiment. but at the decline Liverpool
was buyer here and the market soon
steadied on covering of shorts. mod
crate spot house demand for October
and a little support from local bulls.
The failure of southern selling orders
to appear here was probably a disap-
pointment to local sellers of late last
week and the rally was promoted by
bullish private crop adyices from Texas
claiming more damage from the storm
than previously realized. October rallied
to 9.23c and January to 962c In the
late trading, and closed at practically
the best point of the day. Washington
advices quoted prominent banking
interest to the effect that placing cot
ton on the list of contraband might be
setback to the early market, but
would create no serious situation, and
there were rumors that there might be
an early peace move in Europe.
