Oldest Woman in Martin County
Passed Away at Hundred
And One

Farimont, December 10.-Mrs. Sar-
all Sweet Alvord, Martin county's
Oldest resident, died Saturday at her
home in Lake Belt township. She
was 101 years, five months and TWEEN
ty-three days old, having been born
June IA, 1917 Her husband, Daniel
B. Alvord, died in 1890.
The passing Of Grandma" Alvord,
as she was lovingly called, will bring
widespread regret in the southern
part of the county, where she had
lived for so many years. Mrs. Alvord
was well and quite active until the
last year Or so, ard even took part
in Red Cross work.
Or. her Tooth birthday, in 1917, the
aged woman was given a reception at
which hundreds of persons were
guests. A postcard shower brought
her congratulatory greetings from
many parts of the state.
Mr.. and Mrs Alvord came to Mar
tin county in 1867 and took up a
homestead in Lake Belt township
upon which the widow resided until
a few years ago. At the time of her
death she was living with her late
son, William Clark Alvord, who, al :
though seventy nine years old, was
outlived by his mother. So far as
could be learned there are none of
her children now living. Several
grandchildren and great grandchil-
dren will mourn the loss of the fine
old pioneer.

Young Man Who Was Drafted
From Albert Lea Is
Accused

Albert Lea, December 10.-Carl
Hanson, better known locally as the
Millionaire Dane" and up to a short
time ago, bookkeeper at the Coleman
Lumber company, has been charged
with the embeZzlement OF the sum
Of $1,000 from the company. This is
the specific charge but it is said that
the real amount taken is several times
that amount.
Hanson was drafted and is now in
the army at Camp Forest The war
rant was forwarded there last week
by Sheriff Fosse, but owing to army
regulations it could not be served.
County Attorney Peterson then got
busy with authorities at Washington
and is trying to have the young man
brought back here Immediately to
face the charge.
Hanson has meteoric career here.
He has worked for the company about
a year. He claimed to have come to
this country from Denmark and that
his mother was the wealthy owner of
a steamship line. He further claims
that she sent to him monthly upwards
of five hundred dollars, and this ac-
counted for his lavish and foolish ex-
penditures. In fact he lived in the
height of style. Nothing was too
good for him. He entertained his
friends by taking them to Mime
apolis, paying all expenses and buy
ing expensive gifts.
1t is now said that this story was
all a bluff, and that the Coleman
Lumber company was supplying the
money. He is a Iikeable young man
and an efficient bookkeeper. The
outcome of the case is awaited with
interest

John Ehlinger, manager of the
local United States employment
office, was called into st. Paul
headquarters Saturday to confer with
Hugo V. Koch concerning the closing
of the office in Albert Lea Mr.. En-
linger has orders to go to Mankato to
take charge of the office there the
first of January, and it is with gen
uine regret that the people of this
county see him leave, says The Albert
Lea Tribune.
Mr.. Ehlinger tells us that since
the first of the year the Minnesota
Employment Bureau has placed a.
600 men in essential industries.
1t seems that the office in Mankato
has been doing a bigger business in
placing men than Albert Lea has, and
is therefore considered better office
site. This, however, is mainly be-
cause Mankato is wet, and is conse-
Quent]y all the time prolific in floaters
who have dropped their money in the
saloons and want new job to get
more.
In the Albert Lea district, Mr.. En-
hnger has not had such good chance
at these fellows, and consequently the
business is lighter.
SO on the whole, we do not know
whether to laugh or cry about Man
kato, coping this away from us.
But we may have a chance to enter
upon more fair competition in the
near future, when Mankato gets her
dry orders.
Consequently we will merely say
eau revoir" to Mr.. Ehlinger and his
wife. We do not really need to say
"goodby.'
The fact is Mr. Ehlinger is coming

London, December 10.-More than

by all the nations engaged. Casual
ties on the battlefields were more

are necessarily rough. They are also
disputed. One estimate places the
casualties by nations as follows.
