HARRY ADOLF NORDSTEDT

London township, died at the Bethesda
Hospital in this city at 1O:4O o'clock
last night. The cause of death was
obstruction of the bowels. He was
working on the farm Of G. w. Bengt-
son in Lake Andrew and a week ago
was taken with pain in his side. DR..
Hanson of New London concluded
that an operation was necessary and
he was taken to Willmar and an oper-
alton was performed Sunday. It
proved very unusual case. A pin
was found in the appendix, the point
of which had penetrated the walls of
the appendix. The condition of the
pin leads the doctors to believe that
it was swallowed in the childhood of
the deceased, and has been lodged in
the abdomen since that time.
The death of this bright boy is a
crushing blow to the family. Mr..
Nordstedt will take the remains to the
stricken home today, and it is expect
ed that the funeral will be held Sun
day afternoon, at the home farm at
