eight years Of age, is thought to
have killed herself at her home,
four miles southeast of Kimballton
Wednesday morning of last week,
by drowning.
The son discovered her body in
a we'll and, upon the arrival of the
coroner, it was deemed unnecessary
to hold an inquest because all in
dications showed that it was a
plain case of suicide.
The deceased leaves to mourn
her loss three children, her hus-
band having passed away several
several years ago.
The community is greatly shock

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Next Sunday is Rally Day at
the Christian church. The morn
ing service will commence prompt
ly at ten o'clock with the Sunday
school session. There will be no
intermission between sessions.
The sessions will be so combined
as to make one harmonious whole
with special music by both the
Junior and Senior choirs. 1t is
our plan to have this entire SER
vice over by ll:45 in readiness for
basket dinner to be enjoyed in
the basement of the church. We
think that we should have at least
two hundred and fifty present at
the Sunday school session. With
one hundred and ffty-two present
on last Sunday, without any special
effort we should easily reach the
two hundred and fifty mark on
next Sunday with each member do
ing his duty. LOYALTY should
be your watchword for next Sum
day. COME without fail.
The Christian Endeavor will
meet at $50. Every young per-
son in the church is especially
urged to attend the .Endeavor ses-
sions and bring their friends.
The mid-week meeting and choir
practice will be held on Wednes-
day evening. The time for each is
seven and eight o'clock respective
ly. A special feature of the mid
week meeting will be a study or
review chapter by chapter of a
little book entitled, "How Chris
tian Unity Came to Alpha" Some
OF us have seen very clearly "how
Christian unity DID NOT come
to Extra" This little book treats
with some Of the difficulties which
attended this unsuccessful attempt
1t is an effort to set forth in an in
teresting style a basis upon which
christian unity might be realized
1t brings up and deals with the
difficulties which are keeping the
churches apart today, and is writ.
ten so as to make it both interest.
ing and instructive. If you are in.
terested in christian unity you
should make an earnest attempt tc
attend these mid-week meetings
for the next seven or eight weeks

Extra Men Called as Wit

DANISH LUTHERAN NOTES
EXTRA and HAMLIN

EXTRA and HAMLIN
We had another splendid mission
meeting at Hamlin. God our
Savior be praised for every hour
we have the opportunity to dwell
in His house to hear His word pro-
claimed! Those moments are fore
tastes of the heavenly bliss. Some
may say: "I'd rather go hunting"
others: "I'd rather rest at home,"
while still others say: s'd rather
work. And of course, some would
rather play poker, or any old
game. Well, tastes may vary but
the conditions of salvation never
vary. Itsurely must be a poor
sport and a lazy person that can't
spare two hours, at least, a week
to come to church to join with the
best of fellowmen in the worship
Of the Almighty, from whom we
all receive in grace our very life
and living. Church services may
not be entertaining, no more than
mothers every day square meal, -
but like it, 1T is most vital for our
very existence and thrift. We re-
joice to notice that so many of our
people more and more realize this
fact. The old gospel of salvation
through faith in Jesus Christ is
now as ever the light Of the world
and the salt of the earth, as it
shines and savors through the holy
Christian church of believers.
Sunday the congregation of
Hamlin surprised the pastor and
wife with an unannounced change
of program for the afternoon SER
vice. They came to him, instead
of him coming to them,-like the
proverbial mountain and Mo-
hammed. We certainly enjoyed
the change for once. The manse
was filled to overhowing and SO
were the hearts of pastor and peo-
pie. Thank you! Come again.
Next Sunday morning Danish
church service at Hamlin at 1880
o'clock. Danish service at Extra
at 2:30 p. m. and English service
in the evening at 7:30 p. m.
Last Sunday our World Service
Campaign starts and lasts until
Reformation Day, the 3lst of Oct
ober. Millions Of Lutherans in
Europe are starving and are with
out clothing, now facing the long
severe winter. Their American
and Scandinavian brethren were
their succors last year and it is
very necessary to aid them again
this year, especially in southern
Russia and Poland. Other church.
es are ready to aid them, but they
are looking for their own. Both
our duty and their need is impera
tive right now. We will collect
both money and clothing An Of
fering will be taken up at the
churches October 30th. Anybody
having cast off clothing we pray te
donate it to the sufferers. Bring
it to Petersen's store at Extra o.
to Martin Mortensen's at Hamlin
Let us be thankful in we'll doing.

EXTRA MERCHANT
COMMITS SUICIDE
Takes Own Life by Shoot
ing Himself through
the Heart

we learned that one of our most
popular and respected business
men, Peter Hassenfeldt, had
passed to the Great Beyond the
might before, by his own hand.
For two days Peter had been
ailing, but Monday came up town
several times, the first time in the
forenoon when he made trip of
short duration to the store. About
five o'clock he was on the streets
again and had made a settlement
with the Northup Produce Station
and the Farmers Produce Com
pany. He returned to the house
then, coming up again about eight
O'Clock at which time it is thought
he secured the 20 caliber rifle
which is owned by Mike Laursen
and which was being used at the
Hassenfeldt store for shooting rats.
Between that time and $50
O'Clock p. m. the phone rang from
the house. The central girl, Miss
Kathryn Hansen, answered but no
response was made, and as the re-
eceiver of the phone was down when
the body was discovered. it is
thought that upon completing the
deed he had walked to the phone,
probably to call for help, but be-
fore central could answer he had
fallen, never to arise again.
The rife which he had used was
lying on the opposite side Of the
room and he would have had to
have taken number of steps be-
fore reaching the phone. His
body was lying face upward just as
he had fallen while trying to sum-
mon assistance.
As Mr.. Hassenfeldt failed to ap-
pear at the store Tuesday morning,
at about 1890 O'Clock Mr.. Mike
Laursen went to the home to find
out what was OBTAINING him. Upon
arriving there he knocked, and
upon receiving no answer, he
opened the front door which had
been left unlocked, and there, in a
room in which the electric lights
were still burning and with the
window shades all drawn, lay
Pete's lifeless form upon the floor.
Mr. Laursen then rushed up town,
meeting Mr.. VapdeBrake who, in
turn, summoned Drs. Jacobsen and
Cron. These three, with A. j.
Leake and James Carlson went to
the house and made an .nvestiga-
ton. The coroner was called and
AN inquest held at which verdict
of suicid, was brought in.
Mr.. Hassenfeldt came to oul
city many years ago. He was em.
ployed for long time at the H. P
