NEWS OF BLUE EARTH CITY
New Norwegian Church To Be Built,
Costing $25, 900.

tractors are figuring on the fine new
Norwegian Lutheran church which
that denomination will erect this
year at a cost of about $4,000.
One of the county commissioners
of this county has passed away at
his home in Minnesota Lake after but
short illness. 1t seems that Joseph
Migelis must have felt his sickness
coming on for at the last session of
the commissioners he remarked that
he did not think he would live long.
His successor has not been elected.
While moving a barn in this place
yesterday the sweep flew back injur-
ing Fred Spencer seriously. His side
is badly bruised and it is feared he
is injured internally. 1t was but a
short time ago that his son Roy, who
assists him in the business of moving
buildings had his leg broken.
Mrs. F. w. Drake, formerly of this
place came last week to Faribault
with the body Of her husband who
had died q few weeks before while
they were spending the winter IN
Florida. She was unable to make the
trip at the time of his death so had
the body embalmed, and buying a
coffin which cost 1915, had him plac-
ed in vault until she was ready to
make the northern trip. When she
started with the body the undertaken
told her that the body was not in a
very good state of preservation and
gave her orders that under no cir
cumstances should the rough box
even be opened. She became sus-
picious and upon arriving at her des-
tination she had an undertaken open
the box and then she discovered so
she claims, that instead of the cost
ly coffin which she had purchased,
the remains were in what she con-
sidered a cheaper coffin. She called
three ,undertakers in consultation and
they pronounced 1t a very poor job
of caring for the body as well and
estimated that at the very most the
whole job, coffin and all could not
have come to more than $500. The
Masonic lodge, of which Mr.. Drake
was a member, have employed an at
torney who will take up the matter
with the Florida undertaken. F. w.
Drake was for many years mail
clerk in Minnesota and well known
throughout the state. He was also
for several years q part owner and
editor of The Blue Earth Post
At the Faribault county republican
convention held in Blue Earth on
Wednesday afternoon the following
delegates were elected to the state
sherer, s. l.. Allen, F. e. Putnam, D.
