CHARACTER SKETCH OF LATE
WELL-kn0WN ARcTANDER PIONEER

ing fur animals and occasionally an
elk or deer served desirable relief for
food and also on account of the pelts.
Furs were exchanged for food stuffs
and such wearing apparel as might
be obtaind. It was no uncommon &C.
curance that the pelt of muskrat was
sent along to the pOstott1ce to pay for
the postage on letter.
These pioneers were living z COM
paratively contented life. They were
steadily, making some improvements
and increasing their herds of cattle,
but in the late summer of 1862 a
change occurred due to the invasion
of their happy and peaceable settle
ment by band of Indians. Being in
formed that a band of red monsters
were in the neighborhood, the infor-
nation coming from one of the sur
viving Lundberg's, members of his
family having been butchered by the
Indians, Mr.. Knudson together with
other settlers in the Norway Lake
settlement sought refuge for few
days on an island in Norway Lake,
ever since known as the isle Of Ref
uge." From there they moved east
ward and went to Wisconsin,, return
ing in about two years to their former
homestead.
Mr.. Knutson was thrifty and indus
trious and developed one of the best
farms in this community. About z
years ago he sold his entire estate to
his only son Albert. His wife died a
number of years ago. The first Nor
| wegian Lutheran church, which was
built from logs, was erected on his
farm and continued to be the princi-
| pal place of worship in this region un-
| til a pastoral charge was formed and
organized and new Cor until the
present, churches had been erected.
The deceased was one of the leading
members of his church, man of con-
genial disposition and loved by all
who knew him. He is survived by
his only son Albert, three daughters,
Mrs. Mile Skare, Mrs. Maria Skinde-
lien and Mrs. Ragne Halvorson, a
brother, Mr.. Bjorn Knudson, % grand
children and 10 great grand children,
His funeral took place on Saturday
afternoon, October 4th from his Old
home where large number of friends
and relatives gathered to pay their
last respects to his memory. Rev
N. J. Mus delivered the funeral ser
mon at the East Norway Lake church
and the deceased remains were laid
at rest in the church cemetery. An
appropriate speech was also made by
Rev. Mons Sotendahl at the church
The honorary pallbearers were:
Peter Broberg, Jacob Ramstad, Lars
Nelson, Johannes Halvorson, Hans
Peterson and Eric Paulson. Those
acting as active pail bearers were his
grand sons, Oliver Skindelien, Ole
Skare, Casper Skindelien, Otis Halvor
son. Johnny Skare and Olaf Knudson
The floral offerings were beautiful.

placed by the supreme court in charge
of the institution after a receiver ap-
pointed contrary to law by LANCER and
Hall had been ousted.
The audit shove beyond question that
the bank was solvent at the time it was
closed, and therefore that it's closing
was a political move against the Non
partisan league, which, while not di-
rectly interested in the bank, was
heavy borrower of it.

LANCER and Hall, reported that the Scan
dinavian-American had bad debts" of
$46,503.65.

been closed $7,765,34 had been paid on
these bad debts" the audit company's
report shows, and directors of the bank
had taken up an additional $4,000. "Of
the amount taken up by the directors q
