JUDGE QvALE GIVES
SOME SOUND ADVICE
To -Four Young G Men Before Sen
fencing them to a Term At
State Reformatory.

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 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-
fnement, 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 great deal of EN-
barassment, as quite a crowd had
gathered at the depot.

A Few Facts Gathered From the Rec
ords Of This County Office.
Thinking that perhaps the public
would be interested to learn a little
of the work which has gone on in the
Probate Office, the past year, the Trib-
une has gathered few facts that may
be of interest. 1t is true the books of
this Office are open to public inspec-
ton, but as rule very little is known
of the work accomplished in this i'm
portant Office.
The following is a. summary of q
part of the work done during the year
1915:
Number Of hearings held. d........ .215
New estates filed .................69 SO
Estates settled 1922
Wills admitted to probate. "a
Inheritance tax collected. .$201.56
Guardianship proceedings .22
Persons adjudged insane. .16
Inebriate hospital proceedings. ..S
Juvenile court proceedings. q
Marriage ceremonies performed. .18
Allowance of claims against
estates -. .$23, ,465.07
It will be seen from the above table
that sixteen persons were adjudged
insane. OF this number ten were resi-
dents of this county and six were not.
In inebriate proceedings, four were
residents of the county and four were
not.

W|LLMAR BOY WINS
FIRST H0NORS
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 a very inter
esting and spirited occasion. Post
master Forsberg presided over the
meeting, and Nordmendenes Singing
Society was present giving several
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: "Re-
solved, That the United States is JUS.
titled 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 a 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'
ke, 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
ler Of Appleton, Supt. M. H. Gullfck
son of Atwater and Miss Smith Of
Ntchf1eld compiled the Judges SCOT
ing sheets and found that Joseph
Chase Of Willmar had won first place
and Linmea Inner of Litchfield, sec
ond. These two will now have the
honor of representing this portion Of
the state at the State contest to take
place at Macalaster College on Feb
25th.
After the meeting a spread had beer
arranged at the high school to which
all the visiting speakers, judges and
school men were invited. = :. ..s.@s sa..@..s
The whole affair was decided sue
cess and the no little amount OF credit
is due those who had the drilling ant
other preparations in hand. The re
ceipts at the door were $39.45.

and plays, and thus truly reflects the
inner life of the characters she de
picts.
Gifted with a voice of wonderful
range and mellow. rich quality, and
with dramatic instinct which makes
her characters live before her aud
fences, Miss Davault gives an eve
ning's entertainment which critics
have been unanimous in pronouncing
unique among Lyceum events.
No greater proof of Miss Davault's
success can be found than the eager
demand for return engagements
wherever she appears. She has the
distinction of having appeared before
the Central Young Mems Christian
Association of St. Louis sixteen times
in the last six years.
Peg O. My Heart" and "Christmas
Morning." will be the main numbers
on the program, the remainder of
which will be miscellaneous selec-
tions.

y H. G.. WARD.


Mrs. Mary -dcKinnon 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 a number of years,
but through it all, she was q patient
sufferer.
Mrs. Ward has been a 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 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 helper
with the Children's Mission fund.
Mrs. Ward was always 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
