TRAGIC Death OF
MICHAEL FRANK
MONDAY MORNING
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN KILLED
WHILE MOVING AN OUT
BUILDING.
ALAN Wesley died TUESDAY
LANDMARK OF CITY CALLED TO
HIS MAKER AFTER A LONG
AND ACTIVE LIFE.

Michael Frank, for many years a
resident Of Sanuk Centre had his life
crushed out in the twinkling of an eye
Monday shortly before the noon hour.
He recently purchased a small out
house from the Sank Lake Co-opera-S
tive Creamery Association and Mon
day morning he had arrangements
made to remove it to his home. Some
boys had tipped the building down an
embankment as Halloween prank
and Mike and Chris Miller had placed
chain about the structure and hitch
ed team to it. Mr.. Frank was walk
ing short ways in the rear. The chain
worked down and allowed building to
fall backwards. 1t all happened so
quickly that it was impossible for Mr..
Frank to get out of the way. One of
the caves struck him just below the
chin, crushing hi INTO the ground,
breaking his neck and causing instant
death.
DR.. Moynihan was hurriedly sum-
moned. He ordered the body taken to
Halverson's undertaking parlors, and
later they were removed to the grief
stricken home.
Mr.. Frank was good citizen, hard
working, honest and frugal. He had
many friends. He was born in
limit, Wiessenburg, Hungary, Jan.
81, 1879. He grew to manhood in his
native land and served three years in
the army before coming to America in
1901. He came to Sank Centre
shortly after. The deceased was unit
ed in marriage to Anna Kleinschmidt
at Metre Grove, Sept. IL, 1906. Five
children were born to this union.
They are: Anna E., Anton Bernard,
deceased; Joseph j., Norbert S..
Michael. None of the immediate
family Of the deceased ever came to
America; an uncle resides at St.
Cloud.
Mr.. Frank was consistent member
of ST. Paul's Catholic church. He was
member of st. Cecelia's choir, the
Catholic Foresters and had been ell
ected to membership in st. Joseph's
society. He had also been an active
member of the local fire department
for number of years.
The funeral was held from st.
Pauls church Wednesday morning at
o'clock, Rev. A. Art, the pastor,
conducting requiem High Mass, speak
ing both in English and German. The
large auditorium was completely fill
ed. The volunteer fire department
headed the funeral procession carry
ing large United States flag, then
followed the Foresters and St. Joseph
societies with their church banners
draped in mourning. st. Cecelia's
choir sang at the grave.
Among those from outside of town
attending the funeral were: Mr.. and
Mrs. A. ]. Arneson, (brother-in-law)
Elbow Lake; Mr.. and Mrs. G. Hartung,
Mrs. Elizabeth Howarth, and the
Misses Hattie and Mary Frank, ST.
Clour, and Mrs. Henry Kleinschmidt,
of Elrosa.

NEXT WINTER MEETING AT WA.
DENA-sUMMER OUTING AT
GLENWOOD.

When the members of the Northern
Minnesota Editorial Association ac-
cepted the. invitation to hold their
1918 winter meeting in Fergus Falls
but few of them realized that they had
selected one Of the most beautiful,
substantial and progressive little
cities of 5000 in the entire northwest.
The boys began to arrive Wednes-
day afternoon and evening and a
steering committee headed by Harry
Wheelock and Elmer Adams extend
ed the right hand of welcome, cordial
ity and goodfellowship in whole
hearted manner. The association
were headquartered at the Kaddatz,
which the genial mayor of Black
Duck" insists is the biggest little
hotei. in the world. And he is not far
wrong in this claim. The spacious and
.holney1- Eiks roomsJMere turned over
to the bunch fora meeting place.
The program started off with a
bang shortly after 10 o'clock Thurs
cay morning when President Will
Wilke called the assemblage to order.
The first number was little skit per-
formed by Erickson and Ericsson, the
former as mayor of the city extending
most cordial welcome to the editors
during which he modestly extolled
some of the civic and business virtues
of Fergus Falls. Investigation proved
that Mayor Erickson had been very
modest in outlining his city's great
ness. George Ericsson comes from the
very edge of things as seen from the
viewpoint of an American, ling at
Spooner just across the Rainy river
from Ontario. George thanked Mayor
Erickson for the hospitality rendered
and graciously admitted that all of the
things said about the greatness of the
members of the press were true, leav-
ing the impression that even then "the
half had not been told"
There have been meetings of the as
ISOLATION where the attendance was
larger but none, where the papers were
of more Importance nor more ably
presented than at the Fergus Falls
meeting. Herbert Hotaling, of Maple
ton, president of the National Editor

Hon. Frank M. Eddy
Lies Seriously Hin Hos
pital at DesMoines, la,

Ex-Congressman Frank M. Eddy,
Sank Centres beloved citizen, lies
seriously ill with pneumonia in hos
pital at DesMoines, Iowa. Mr.. Eddy
was on a lecturing tour in the inter-
ests of the Minnesota Bureau of I'M
migration.
1t is presumed that he contracted
his cold while stopping at poorly
heated hotels. His itinerary called for
his spending Sunday at DesMoines.
He very likely was suffering from the
disease upon his arrival there.
= Mayor DuBeau received telephone
message from DesMoines early Mon
day evening stating that Mr.. Eddy
was very i'll in a sanitarium in that
city. The mayor Immediately got in
touch with the Herald editor and he in
turn called up Mr.. Eddy's son-in-law
H. D. Blanding at Detroit. Capt. c.
w. Blanding is located at Camp Dodge
and on receiving wire from his bro
Their Immediately communicated with
the hospital authorities.
Miss Frances left Alexandria fol-
DesMoines Tuesday. Miss Joyce met
her in Minneapolis and the two daugh-
tiers arrived at their fathers bedside
Wednesday morning.
Wednesday evenings Minneapolis
Journal says that word received at the
capitol by Secretary of State Schmahl
indicated that Mr.. Eddy could not get
well.
The Herald was in telephone COM
munication with Mr.. Blanding at De-
troit this Thursday morning and he
stated that Wednesday they received
a message from the girls and that
their father was resting easily, the
doctors stating that he was in no i'm
mediate danger.
Of course pneumonia is very SER
ious at any time, much more so for a
person of Mr.. Eddy's years. The peo-
pie of Sank Centre are greatly inter.
ested in the case and there is a uni
versal hope that this splendid Ameri.
can can be spared for many years to
come.

When Co. E, (Sauk Centre) 10th
Battalion of the Minnesota Home
Guards was mustered into service
Thursday evening of last week at the
Junior High School auditorium sew
eral hundred of the citizens were on
hand to witness the ceremonies.
The command to "fall in" was Civ
en- at $3.50. Captain Parker announc-
er that there was a vacancy existing
in the rank of second lieutenant. D..
B. Caughren was elected to this post
by unanimous vote Of the company.
After being commissioned Lieut..
Caughren extended the company a
vote of thanks for their confidence.
Shortly before 9 o'clock Capt. Parker
took the first squad of eight men
and marched to the o'clock train to
meet Maj. Rowland. Not man in
the bunch was under six feet. Maj.
Rowland himself is real sizable sort
of chap; as he marched through this
guard of honor and looked up at a
sample of Sank Centres finest he was
heard to remark: eff I had a few
regiments like these guys, I could
clean the Kaiser up on short notice"
During the absence of Capt. Parker
LIST Lieut.. Cardinal took the company
in hand and gave them some intensifi-
ed drilling, The so-called "setting-up"
exercises in which the men are put
through rigorous gymnastic exercise
is trifle hard on joints at present
but the boys are all anxious for this
branch of the work as they realize it
is for their physical well being. Lieut.

In the preceding sales of Liberty
Loan bonds the country press donated
the advertising space for the sale of
the bonds. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that the rural press of the ma
ton gave at least five million dollars
worth of space to the government in
various ways in 1917. In the large
centers of population the pages and
columns of display space used to slim
ulate the bond sale was paid for by the
business men of those communities.
At Mondays meeting Mr.. Strebel
stated that the government felt it was
unfair to ask or expect the country
press to continue to donate freely
display space to promote these sales.
He explained that much more space
would be needed in 1918 than in 1917,
because of the war stamp sales cam
paign would last through the entire
year, and there would also be several
Liberty Loan drives during the year.
He stated that the local committee
had gone over the situation and esti-
mated that it would take minimum
of 5000 inches of display space in the
Herald to put the government propo-
-sitions across in the proper manner.
He explained that the move was not
instigated by the publisher of the
Herald, and urged the business men to
buy a stipulated number of advertis-
ing inches to be used throughout. the
year as the publicity committee might
deem best. Something over 1,4OO
inches of space was subscribed for at
the meeting and a committee consist
ing of Mayor DuBeau, E. A. Richards
and DR.. A. F. Moynihan were appoint
ed to solicit advertising from the bust
ness and professional men on Tues
day. The citizens responded nobly,
only two of the entire number inter-
viewed refused to take space, with
the result that a total of over 5000
inches were sold at the regular rate
of Is cents per inch. Naturally the
Herald feels gratifed at this express
sion of confidence upon behalf of the
people of Sank Centre.
The subscriptions ranged from a
full page-120 inches, down to col
umn or less.
The question has been raised as
how this money shall be paid in. The
Herald wishes to explain that the adj
vertising will be billed from this Of
fee at the end of each month as used
There is no necessity of the business
men having their funds tied up until
the space is used and certainly we can
not expect it until we have earned it.
The Herald will continue as in the
past to donate literally of its news
and editorial columns to assist in
promoting the sale of Liberty Loans
War Savings Stamps, the Red Cross
the Y. M. G. A., the K. C.'s or any
other move that will tend to make oul
boys more comfortable or assist in
raising the necessary sinews of war
