JUDGE QVALE GIVES
SOME SOUND ADVICE
To -Four Young Men Before Sem
fencing them to a Term At
State Retormatory.

The four young men who were ar
rested last week in connection with
the hold-up Of Charles Dalien, last
week Tuesday, were sent to the State
Reformatory at st. Cloud to serve an
indeterminate sentence.
George Galliford and Emil Feleen
were the boys directly concerned N
the holdup, while Martin Fixen and
VIM. Johnson were convicted of Sec
ond degree grand larceny.
The preliminary hearing was held
last Wednesday evening before Judge
Muller; the two former were charged
with grand larceny in the first degree,
and the two latter in the second de-
gree.
They all waived examination, and
on the following morning were bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury which meets next month. The
boys, however. decided to enter a plea
before Judge Qvale. which was done
Monday morning, at the court house.
In his talk to the boys, Judge Qvale
gave them some very good advice,
which if taken and followed by them,
will augur we'll for their future.
He urged them to live down the
past, which has gone, and is beyond
recall; the crime committed cannot
be reversed, but by living the right
kind of lives after leaving their con-
finement, it will be possible to live
down the past. He said in part: EN-
deavor to live down the past, and
emerge from your confinement as good
citizens and useful members of soci-
ety. in the community in which you
reside. No one, no matter who he is,
can keep a good man down, and you
have it in you to make good in the
years to come"
Sheriff Bonde took them TO St..
Cloud Tuesday afternoon. They were
driven by team. to the roundhouse,
where they boarded the train, thereby
relieving them of a great deal of en-
barassment, as quite crowd had
gathered at the depot.

FIRST H0N0RS
JosephChase Of this CtyAxarded
First Place In Discussion
Last Friday.

Six high schools of this district were
represented at the discussion on the
preparedness" question which was
held at Willmar last Friday evening.
The discussion took place at the
court house and proved very inter
esting and spirited occasion. Post
master Forsberg presided over the

selections thruout the evening. The
local high school students were pres
ent in body and filled in with their
yells when opportunity presented.
The subject as stated was: ere
solved, That the United States is JUS
tilted in materially increasing its ar
my and navy" Each contestant was
at liberty to take which side of the
subject he or she might want to
choose. Each was given eight min
utes for argument and three minutes
for rebuttal. It was significant fact,
however, and it created an amusing
situation as we'll, that when all the
contestants had been heard from and
time came for rebuttal, it was found
not one had taken he affirmative side
Of the question.
ALEXANDRIA was represented by Ross
Campbell, Appleton by Arthur Lemb-
Ike, Litchfield by Linnea Inner, At
water by Alice Clough, Willmar by
Joseph Chase, Elbow Lake by Hell
mer Huseth. Everyone of the speak
ers acquitted themselves with credit,
giving evidence Of considerable study
and training.
The judges were Supt E. B. For
ney of Cokato, Supt. F. A. Andert of
Paynesville and Prof. Miller of the
Morris Agricultural School. A com
mittee consisting of Supt. P. J. But
Ter Of Appleton, Supt. M. H. Gullick.

~ II. c.. WARD.

-
Mrs. Mary IcKinnon Ward, wife Of
Herbert c. Ward, passed away on Fri
day, Feb. II. 1916, at her home on
Sixth street S., this city. Mrs. Ward
had been i'll for number of years,
but through it all, she was a patient
sufferer.
Mrs. Ward has been resident Of
Willmar since 1872, coming here from
Mankato. Mr.. Ward came here in
1871, and was joined by Mrs. Ward
the following year.
Mrs. Ward was one of the oldest
members of the First Presbyterian
church Of this city, and for many
years she was one Of it's most active
members. She was not one of the
charter members of the church, but
was among it's first members, and her
work as one of the pioneer members
will always be remembered. The
church in those days was small and
struggling one, and had to be sup.
ported by suppers and socials. Mrs.
Ward was always ready to help. She
also taught a Sunday school class for
many years. She was one Of the
charter members Of the WOman'S
Christian Temperance Union Of Will
mar. Mrs. Ward also gave valuable
assistance with Mission class in the
days when there was no such society
for women. She was also a helper
with the Childrens Mission fund.
Mrs. Ward was always a faithful at
tendant at the midweek prayer serv-
ice Of the church. Her activities in
these various spheres were cut off
only by her inability to perform them
on account Of her illness.
Mrs. Ward was loyal to every home
tie. Faithful, kind and patient as a
mother.
She is survived by her husband,
Mr.. Herbert c.. Ward. Three child
rem, Harry Leroy Ward of Tacoma,
WASH. Bessie Ward Hanscom Of St.
Paul; Lewis H. Ward Of st. Paul; one
brother, Harry McKinnon of Grand
Forks, N. D., and the following grand
children: Mary Carol Ward, Donna
Elizabeth Ward of St. Paul.
The funeral services we're held at
the home on Wednesday afternoon,
and were conducted by her pastor,
the Rev. w. Bryn Jones. 1nterment
will be made in the cemetery at Man.

No greater proof Of Miss Davault's
