hustlers at its head, which insures

One Of our original homeeteaders
and early farmers who has been all
ing for some time, Maurice Shell
auist. was taken to the Warren hos
Dital about two weeks ago to seek
medical. attention. When he arrived
there It was found that an operation
was necessary. Stomach trouble was
the cause OF his illness. After the op-
grafton he seemed: to rally. but later
complications. set in and ho wa CALI
ID Is the great beyond. His brother,
Victor" Of this place was with him
and rave every aid that human
hands could give; his vito being un-
able to be present owing to tho fam
Nv OF seven small children at home
to care for, the smallest being ionly
shout i've; or, six weeks old. It was
a severe blow to his fine family, and
a shock to his neighbors, as his death
was not expected. He also leaves
an aged mother and father in Swed-
en-, and brother, Gust, who left
last December for a visit with his
parents, and Victor of Clearbrook.
He has made Leon township his home
since the days rabbit trails were
the best roads to be found In this
section Of Minnesota, and developed
a fine farm, and built fine home.
At his death he was As years, s
months and days old. In 1907 he
was married to Miss Christine Crosby
Of Greenwood township, a daughter
Of Mr.. and, Mrs. Ole Crosby. Their
union, was blessed with seven chill
dren. He was laid, to. rest in the
Cunning cemetery In Leon, township
on Thursday Of last week. Rev. Chas.
w. Erickson Of Clearbrook conduct
ing the funeral services.
Attorney Emil T. Evenson return
ed from Rollette, N. D., Saturday
morning, where he spent the week
attending to business matters.
Two years ago Bro. Townley Of N.
D., ran a Swede for governor in the
June primaries, this year he will try
out a Norske, judging by the name.
He found out that the "Swedes" fall
ed to take his bait, now he will try
the Norwegians and see II they are
bigger success than their Scandina-
Wan brothers. Once more will Town
ley miss his guess, if we know the
'Northmen" rightly.

Johnson returned from Minneapolis
Saturday morning where they have
been students at the Dunwoody In
stitute the past winter. They intend
to take up their studies next fall in
order to complete their courses.
