Gasoline Explosions Becoming Num-
erOus in Smaller Towns.

Many garage fires from the smaller
towns and villages Of Minnesota are
being. reported, says Robert w. Har-
gadine, state fire marshal.
-Four men were injured, one pro-
badly fatally, as result Of careless
placing Of barrel Of gasoline in
garage at Clinton last week.
Persons conducting garages are
evidently becoming careless and it
is important that the dangerous ele-
ment in gasoline should never be
overlooked for an instant. The alb
sent-minded man who places burn
ing cigar or cigarette stub near a
barrel Of gasoline, or who takes a
lighted lamp into garage is taking
his life in his hands and is also Grim
inally negligent in relation to the
destruction Of property.
Never take chances. Be sure the
gasoline tank even though it is out
side of the garage is perfectly tight,
and never, above all things, fail to
observe the common rule Of caution.

he harvested 2O,SOO bushels of po-

Saturday, Dec. %, was the day
when the remains of Frank Gustaf
johnson, an old settler of the Town
of Vega, was laid to rest in his last
resting place, the grave. It was a
very cold day, yet the sun was shin
ing bright and the snow glittered in
its rays. The glitter resembled sill
yer pearls, and the squeaking noise
under the feet sounded like music
from on high, as the funeral process
sion marched to the grave.
The little church on the plain was
draped in black and white, and
green fir Of the forest was strewed
over the floor. An able sermon was
preached by the Rev. F. N. Ander-
SON, the pastor Of the church, which
vas very much appreciated by the
audience.
g The pallbearers were Fred Swan
son, Chas.s Johnson, Louis Ranstrom,
Aug; Ranstrom, Olof Bystrom and
*Chas. Swenson. The organist, Miss
Mildred De Groessillier played the
funeral march, and Mr.. Olof
Bystrom and Miss Emma Bystrom
sang very appropriate duet.
A short biography Of the deceased
reads as follows: Mr.. Frank Gustaf
johnson was born April l, 1841, in
Algustboda, Kronoborgs, Ian,
Sweden, and died in the Town of
Vega, on the 21st day Of December,
1916, at the age Of rs years, 8
months and 81 days. He came to
Red Wing from Sweden in 1868,
and from there to Warren in 1882.
He has always been member of
the Swedish Lutheran church and
he has been a member of the church
in Vega since 1891. He was married
to Vendla Person in 1878 until May
8, 1915, when this happy marriage
wasI dissolved by her death.
There is good reason to say, that,
from the. time of her death, Mr..
Johnson's strength began to. decline.
He lived only about 10 months after
her. They have both gone to a
more happy land, and are now par
takers Of eternal bliss in heaven.
That we feel most assured of.
Their now living children are:
Mrs John Abrahamson, Mrs. Chas.
Anderson, Miss Ida, Miss Rosie and
Mr. Arthur Johnson. Three brothers,
a lssee "a pm and John Johnson,
besides Feat number Of other. rel
satives and friends, both here and in
the old country, mourn the deceased.
Mr.. johnson has been a peaceful
man and is deeply mourned by all
who know him. Especially will he
be missed in the church, where dur
ing his lifetime he, was regular
attendant and faithful and devout
sll Listener. 15@l1 '. =

FORMER WARREN BOY
DROWNED in OREGON
Oliver Lundgren, Son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Lundgren, Former
Warren Residents, Loses Life IN
River.-He was a Student at Ore
gon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, ..

Mary's river claimed a victim this
morning dec. 20) when Oliver
Lundgren and Troy Bogard, students
at O. A. C attempted to bring a
canoe down the river from the dam.
The canoe capsized about thirty
yards below the dam and Bogard
succeeded in grabbing the canoe and
saving his life, but the other occu-
pant went down and Bogard saw
him no more.
The young man who drowned is
the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Lundgren 444 S. Eleventh street,
and was a junior in agriculture at
the College. He would have been %
years old in January. His compan-
ion lives at Woodburn, rooms in the
neighborhood where the Lundgrens
live and the two young men were
classmates and chums. 80
The two young men had planned
to go hunting on Saturday and ac-
cording to the statement Lundgren
had made to his mother they plan
ned to ship the canoe to Monroe and
float down the Long Tom river and
shoot ducks. This morning Bogard
went to the Lundgren home and
asked if Oliver had morning class
and was informed his chum's first
class would be at eleven o'clock, the
first period after the Convocation.
Bogard. then suggested: sLet's go
getsthat= boat and bring it down the
river so we will be all ready for
Saturday."
They left, the Lundgren home at
about nine o'clock and went to the
boathouse, took the boat out and
lifted it. down around the dam.
They got in and had gone only a
few yards when the craft capsized
and the drowning resulted.
Bogard rushed to the house, near
the river there, and the accident was
phoned. The fire department was
-sastsii fed and the bell .rang: In less
than half an hour Chief Grahana
with a dozen helpers were at the
scene Of the accident dragging the
river for the unfortunate . mans
