DYKMAN LAD DROWNED

Chester McArdle, the Ia year
old lad of Sandstone who skipped
down to the Twin Cities after
the disappearance Of. his play
mate, Hector Dykman, was To-
Gated after about a weeks search
and was brought home by his
older brother of Sandstone, Tues
day.
Chester, although very quiet.
has given the authorities this
much information that he. and
the Dykman boy were in a boat
on Kettle River which capsized,
the Dykman boy drowning. Ches-
ter has also pointed out the place
where it happened about mid
way between Sandstone and Ban
ming. There are rapids at this
place and in fact a dangerous
place on the river. Old timers
report that quite a number Of
lumber jacks, years back, have
lost their lives here.
Chester McArdle, realizing
the awful thing that had hap
pened and being only a young
lad thought that he might be
held responsible and looked up
on as a bad character. For this
reason he decided to skip away
thinking that he could avoid the
authorities.
Since Chester's return to Sand
stone renewed effort has been
made in trying to recover the
body of Hector Dykman from the
river bottom, but up till Thurs
day noon without success. Dy-
Mantle, hooks and poles are be-
ing used. The river bed at this
point is very rocky.

grocery store on Front Street
in Sandstone was greeted by a
rather rough customer in his
store about 8 o'clock yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Halvorson had just opened
his safe and was taking the
change out for the cash drawer
when someone came rushing in
and swung right uppercut on
the side of Mr.. Halvorson's face,
which knocked him unconscious.
Evidently Mr.. Halvorson fell
against the door Of the safe as
he had a cut on the other side
Of the face. About this time
the desperate character helped
himself to a little loose change,
about $50, and skipped out thru
the back door. The commotion
was heard in the barber shop
next door, but no attention was
paid to it and Mr.. Halvorson
layed there in an unconscious
state for several minutes, until
someone happened to drop in.
He was then given medical at
tention.
The thief has as yet not been
caught, but authorities have a
fair description of him as it is
thought he was in the store the
evening before. 1t is also be-
lieved that there are two impli-

that the parcel post communica-

suspended during the war, will
be resumed this week; this

A number of patriotic meetings
were held on Saturday in various
parts of the country, and the
keynote of them all was intense
Americanism.
Strike at Copenhagen.
Shipping activities in Copen-
hagen are at a standstill owing
to a harbor strike arising from
a demand of the workers for the
discharge of a number of strike
breakers who were employed as
long ago as 1914. Late dis
patches indicate that there is no
immediate prospects of settle
ment.
Norway Voices Demands.
Norwegian delegates at the
peace congress in Paris have pre-
sented their demands for a
certain amount of money to be
paid in compensation for the
loss of Norwegian shipping dur
ing the world war. The big
four nations apparently forgot
that the demands were pre-
sented on a former occasion, so
Norway's representatives have
reminded the congress that their
claim must be needed.

HINCklEy VOTES
WATER AND SEWER
At Special Election Tuesday the
Village Decided to Bond
for $iO.OOO.

The village of Hinckley made
a progressive move Tuesday in
that they voted to issue bonds
to the extent Of $4,000 for a
water system and $4,000 for q
sewer system. the vote being l18
for and 81 against on the first
proposition and 1l9 for and 80
against on the second PROPOSE
ton.
A water and sewer system is
something that Hinckley has
needed for many years and when
it is now established it will fill
a long felt need. A village the
size Of Hinckley with a popula-
tion Of between TOO and 800
ought to have water and sewer
system If for no other reasons
than to preserve health. and
this the big majority Of their
citizens realized when they went
to the polls Tuesday.
This is a progressive step on
the part Of Hinckley citizens and
marks the village as in keeping
with the times.
From reports it appears that
Hinckley will take on q boom
this year. A candy factory, mov-
ing picture show house. as well
as several other business estab-
lishments have been promised
there this year.
