WELL KNOWN old PIONEER
HAS GONE HOME TO REST

The passing of Joseph Webster,
who died Saturday at a Devils Lake
hospital, following an operation for
the removal of tumor from the
bowel, takes from the annals of Ca
Waller county's early history one of
its old pioneers. 1t is twenty odd
years ago, before his removal with
his family to the western part of
this county that "Joe" Webster first
found for himself a place among
those who went through the frontier
hardships of the pioneers. He has
a grown son and two daughters who
are located in the western part Of the
county and it is understood within
the past year has again established q
home for himself, the widow former
ly being Mrs. Joseph Ankers, of
Elkwood. Of late years the deceased
has by his active work as one of the
promoters of Cavalier County Fair
Association become widely known
by the people all over the county. all
of whom will deeply regret the pass.

FULL PARDON is GRANTED
MATT HOLUM OF MILTON

According to an account of meet
ing of the state board of pardons
held in Bismarck just prior to the
close of the old year a full pardon
was granted to Matt Holum, of Mil
ton, who was sent up from this
county with sentence of fifteen
years upon charge Of mauslaughter
in the first degree upon conviction
of having killed his wife. The
crime was committed on the Holum
farm northeast of Milton in 1914 and
the trial of the case transferred TO
Grand Forks county owing to the i'm
probability of securing an unbiased
jury in this county. Holum was a
man of advanced years and poor
health at the time of the homicide
and this fact no doubt together with
Holum's present condition had muc h
to do with the lienency shown by
the pardoning board. 1t is under
stood that he has teen on parole dur.
ing most of the summer.
