Mr.. Larson was an uncle of Mrs. Joe
Wickstrom of Bigelow township, and
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Wickstrom,
shortly after the death of his brother,
William, received telephone call from
one of the Larson boys, who have been
untiring in their efforts to unravel the
mystery that the body had been found
but gave very meagre details. Last
night fuller information was receiv-
ed by @. Fl. Nystrom, to the effect that
the body was discovered in a cornfeld
at about the point spoken of in the
intercepted letter, securely bound and
gagged.
The Progressive attempted last eve
ming to get in touch with Slayton par
ties but was informed by the long dis
tance operator that the only line from
here to Slayton was out of order. 1t
is said that the intention of the MUIR
derers was not to kill the victim, but
to render him helpless.
At any rate hanging is too good for
the perpetrators of the foul ded.
Their victim was generous to a fault,
and met cruel death trying to accom-
modate a couple of turkey buzzards
too filthy to live. Worthington

come alarmed as to his safety, and
search had been instituted by B. /.
Weld of Slayton The first clew,
which practically confirmed the fear
that he had been foully dealt with,
was the report of the Minneapolis po-
lice, and this was soon followed by
discovery of the abandoned car in a
partially wrecked condition in South
Dakota.
Sheriff Sunde, of Renville county,
according to last weeks Murray coun-
ty Herald, was then given word from
Minneapolis to institute search for
the body in the vicinity of Olivia, it
being gathered from the Minneapolis
dispatch that the police were in pos
session of letter indicating that Mr..
Larson had been slain and his body
thrown into a ditch about six miles
west of Olivia. Searching parties
were Immediately sent out, but no
trace was found of the missing man,
though large crowds diligently secured
the entire territory between Olivia
and the next town west, Sacred Heart,
one Sunday afternoon.

fourteen or more miles from Chris
tiania, and learned that the price was
200 crowns per month. Even at that
figure he could get the room only for
two months. Rooms in common no
tells in Christiania cost "a crowns a
day; in the more fashionable hotels
the rates were much higher. Lunch
for Mr.. Alfstad and his wife IN q
common restaurant, cost him ten
crowns.
Ordinary service costs fabulous
sums. Mr.. Alfstad paid ten crowns
to have his trunk hauled few
blocks, and a friend of his paid eight
crowns to have a rope put around
his trunk, a job which took about ten
minutes of the workman's time. Auto
hire costs one crown per minute.
Land values have increased enor-
mously. The fifty per cent increase
in the price of Lac qui Parle county
lands seems conservative IN comparl-
son with the increase In land In Nor
way. Mr.. Alfstad tells of a place OF
three acres situated at the outskirts
of a little city of 5000 people, the
only Improvement on which was a
house almost too poor to live IN, the
price of which was $4,000 crowns.
Farms that were worth 10000 crowns
before the war are now quoted at
from 100000 crowns to 100000
crowns. Land spectators are wild
and real estate dealers are prosper
Gus.
Farm products are high. A little
pig, eight days old, is worth 90
crowns, and by the time it is SIX
months old it brings 700 crowns. Cows
sell for 1000 crowns and up. An old
horse worth 80 crowns under ordi-
nary conditions, would sell for 5000
crowns now.

BoLsHEyIKrs RULE NORWAY.

BOlShevism is rampant IN Norway
according to Chris Alfstad, who re-
turned to Dawson last week after 2
visit in his native land. The predic-
ton is freely made that in the near
future Bolshevism will capture tie
government. Nearly all the working
men gre bolsheviki. The eight-h0u1
day is universal all over the country
wages have reached an unheard Oh
level; but the workers are not salts
fed. They are now agitating for q
six-hour day, with the open threat
that when that aim has been cea-
lied, a campaign for four-hour day
will be started. With a four noun
day, everybody will have to work and
the millennium will have come, accord.
ing to the radicals. And the radi-
Gals embrace nearly all of the wage
earners of Norway. The farmers con
stitute almost the only conservative
element left.
Norway has been prosperous dur
| ing the war. Great wealth has been
accumulated from the profits of the
trade carried on with the Germans
The Norsemen of today are pacifsts
but they have shown no indisposition
to take the profits of other peoples
wars. So much copper and silver was
shipped to Germany that the govern
ment now has difficulty IN getting
enough of those metals for coinage,
Coins formerly made of copper are
now made of iron, and paper scrip
has taken the place of silver. There
is even q one-crown bill IN circula-
ton, worth 81 cents IN American
money. The paper money is popu-
larly called "bolsheviki."
Wages are high. Common laborers
get 100 crowns per week, and strike
for more. Bakers get from 200 to $50
crowns per week. Steved0res get 10
crowns a day. Carpenters are get
ting from % to 40 crowns per day.
The results is that building opera
tions have entirely ceased except pub
lie buildings. A house which former
" would have cost 1000 crowns could
not be build today for less than 10000
to 5000 crowns. AS q direct result
of the cessation OF building, there is
q great scarcity of houses. The gov
eminent has stepped IN to regulate
the number Of rooms man may have
for his personal use, and the remain
ing rooms must be let at rentals
fixed by the state. Mrs. Alfstadss

rooms. is allowed to use only four
rooms, although he has q large fam
ily. The rents are almost prohibit
tive. Mr.. Alfstad tried to rent one

BODY OF SLAIN MAN is
FOUND IN CORNFIELD

The body of j. G. Larson, infiuen-
tial Murray County farmer, who has
been missing for the past four weeks,
has been found in cornfield near Oil
via in Renvile county. Discovery of
the hiding place was made only after
one of the two criminals who did away
with the unfortunate man was appre-
hended by the Minneapolis police in
Montana, to which state the murderers
were traced after they abandoned Mr..
Larson's motor car in South Dakota.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Lar
son after visiting nephew in Min
neapolis left the city one afternoon in
a new Elgin Six, bound for his home
near Slayton. The last seen of him
alive was at Excelsior, the famous
Minneapolis lake resort, where man
answering to his description was seen
by police officers, driving car of that
make, and accompanied by two men.
This was after his failure to reach
