were recovered during the next
two days and the boat towed into
the Ortonville dock yesterday.
The two persons who were on
the boat and escaped drowning
were Ole Tranberg, engineer, and
David Manvoll, twelve year old
boy. Tranberg says:
1T all happened in flash, -
The rain just started to fal. and
we had begun putting up the cur
tains on the boat. No one thought
there was any danger. Suddenly a
heavy gust Of wind struck US and
the boat went over.
II hardly realized what had hap
pened until | was in the water.
The boy was near me. seized
him and got hold Of the boat. Then
| told the boy to hang on and
dived underneath and got two life
preservers. | came back up and
fastened them on to us. Then We
clung on until the boat went on to
the reef. Two Of the others came
up just after the boat overturned,
and | shouted to them to grab on,
but | guess they didn't hear. OF
else were too excited to get griI

miles up the lake from Ortonville
near Manhattan Island.

For Frdnce...Our AlIy

Dispatches from Paris tell how the
French added to the enthusiasm
W ith which the American contin-
gent celebrated the Fourth Of July.
Opportunity will be given for all
Americans to reciprocate soon, for
next Sunday is the French Fourth
of July July ID, the anniversary
of the taking of the bastile by the
revolutionary forces in 1889.
This great building, erected first
as fortified gate and afterward
made the place of imprisonment
for political offenders and for all
those who had fallen under the dis
pleasure Of the king or his favor
ties. It's thrilling story as told in
Dickens masterpiece, The Tale
Of Two Cities and more historic
ally by Carlye. 1t was thought
impregnable, but the partisan mob
took it practically with their bare
hands. As Carlyle says, it fell like
Jericho, by The noise of the shout
ing of it's besiegers.
The anniversary will be comment
Grated Sunday eve. at the Metho-
dist church. The Marseillaise will
be sung and due honor paid to our
chivalrous ally, the liberty loving
French people.

Prof. E. ]. HOpfner
Milbank'S Wcll.knOWn Music Master
Passes AWAY

On Tuesday, about the noon hour
the sad news was spread over the
town that Prof. E. J. Hopfner had
passed away. While the news was
not surprise to his friends, who
had for sometime noticed his fail
ing condition from Bright disease,
nevertheless it came as shock to
realize that we should see him no
more in the active duties Of lif..
Edward Joseph Hopfner was
born in Schonsee, Bavaria, Ger
many, on January 20, 1874. At the
age Of six he exhibited an aptitude
for the violin, and commenced its
study, and his proficiency secured
for him place as student in the
Royal Conservatory, of Munich,
where he studied harmony and com
position with Horrach and Rhein-
burger, two celebrated artists, and
for some time was a member Of the
great Kahn orchestra Of Munich,
and later studied with Ch. Lauder
bach.
Prof. Hopfner came to the United
States in 1898, and settled at Luv-
ern, MINI. He came to Milbank
to make his home some nine years
ago, and has since resided here.
In April 1914 he was married
to Miss Harriet Puder, his sur
viving wife, their honeymoon hav-
ing been spent in trip to Ger
many.
An artist, in love with his work
as musician, and a violinist of
more than ordinary ability, Prof.
Hopfner has successfully labored in
Milbank to educate the public taste
for the better class of music, and
in this line has been a public ben
efactor and has been rendering
the community valuable service.
The funeral, in charge of the
Masonic brotherhood, was held at
o'clock Thursday afternoon. short
service being held at the house by
Rev. A. E. Buriff, and the Masonic
burial service being read at the
grave. The pail bearers were com.
posed of young men who were for.
mer musical students Of the profes'
s5Or.
Besides the members Of the fra
ternity there were a large number
of friends of the deceased who at
tended the obsequies.

Dedicated to Public Uses with Ap.
prOpriate Exercises.
A Building Grant County People MAY
Well Feel Proud Of.

A fine day helped to make the ded.
ication Of the new court house last
Tuesday successful affair, and
there was a good crowd of people
in to enjoy it. The building was
thrown open for inspection in all
parts, and exercise where held in
front of the building, a temporary
platform having been erected for
the speakers and singers, the plat
form being draped with bunting
of the national colors.

several speakers. The Handel choir
Of singers, who were in the city
for chuatauuua work, kindly con-
sented to assist in the exercises, ,and
gave a rendition of the Star Span
gled Banner, to open the exercises,
and later rendered several other
selections that were greatly appre-
ciated by the audience. Rev. A. +
Buriff led the assemblage in invok-
ing the divine blessing, and the
chairman of the county commits
sioners, George Mitchell, in short
talk spoke of the work which the
board had tried to conscientiously
perform in the erection of the
building. 1t was a fitting thing
that the presiding judge of this
circuit should also be a resident
of Milbank and Grant county,
Thos. L. Bouck. and it was also fit
ting that he should be called upon
! to make the principal dedicatory
address. In doing this Judge
Bouck called to mind the ros-
ter of judges that had occupied the
bench for the past twenty-five years
and the attorneys who had been
members of the bar, in this county.
and paid tribute to the faithfulness
and general excellency of the bar

ing out justice in all the past years
j. w. Bell, of Minneapolis, the
architect Of the building, who was
also the architect Of the state house
at Pierre, made a short address, in
which he stated that the complete
confidence which the commissioners
had at all times reposed in him
had stimulated him in his efforts
to do his best in all the plans and
specifications for the building and
in seeing that honest work and ma
terial was put in its construction.
He renumerated the several de-
partments of work and the expense
items involved. stating that the
total would reach S125, 900. but
he wished to 60 on record as saying
that at present prices Of material
and labor the same building could
not now be put up for less than
$3.50, 900. and stated that the citi-
zens and taxpayers Of Grant county
had gotten more than a dollars
worth for every dollar that had
been put in the building.
