REV. 0EHLER PASS
ESATST. BARNABAS
Willmar Pastor Dies After Linger-
ing Illness. Was Able
Pastor

Rev. Frederick Oehler, who
recently resigned as pastor of
St. Lukes Episcopal church in
this city, passed away at ST..
Barnabas Hospital in Minne-
apolis after an illness since last
August. At that time the con-
dition of his health constrained
him to discontinue his active
work here and seek aid at the
St. Barnabas. Friends who
visited him recently under
stood that he expected soon to
be able to leave his bed. The
end came unexpected, the pas
tor suffering from a weakened
heart.
Rev. Oehler assumed charge
of the St. Lukes congregation
in April, 1918. He was res
pected and beloved pastor and
very progressive in his church
work. For the civil commun-
ity and during the war his
name and efforts were repeat
edly present and active. Find
ing his health greatly impaired
and desiring to permit his
charge to call a successor, Rev.
Oehler rendered his resigna-
tion which became effective at
the first of the year. He cele-
brated his 57th birthday last
Thursday.
The departed is survived by
his widow, Mrs. Louise M. Och
Ter, and a son, Karl F. Oehler.
Services were held this even
ing at 7 o'clock at theahome of
the deceased's sister, Mrs. S. F.
Gebbardt, 3641 Blaisdell ave.
The remains were taken i'm
mediately following to Wadena
for burial. Bishop McElwain
will conduct the rites at the
home.

It was the year 17S3 TLe hostile Sioux had surrounded Fort Stevenson, N. D., and any white man who went out alone went to his death. When the mail was sent to Fort Buford, 21S miles away, full company of sol diers went along to guard 1t. One day, while the troops were out on a which had 10 be delivered at once, and there was no one who would dare at tempt the hazardous journey.
 A young man, named Luther s. Kelly, learning of this, went to the commanding officer and offered to get them through alone. Kelly was 6 New Yorker who had come west seek ing adventure. Because of his youth the scouts around the fort had nick named him "The Kid" and now these men told him he would be scalped be- fore he was a mile from the post. He laughed at them.
 'I guess old Sweetness and l can take care of any Sioux who jumps us!" he said. "Old Sweetness" was his pet name for his favorite rifle.
 A few hours later Kelly walked into Fort Berthold, IS miles from Steven son. The Mandan, Gros Ventre and Arikara Indians, camped about that post for protection against the Sioux, gathered about in admiration of his daring, for they lived in terror of the Dakota warriors.
 Kelly stopped at Berthold only long enough to eat and then pushed on to Buford POO miles away. Four miles from Berthold he came to a timhered valley. When he reached the bottom, a bullet whizzed past his ears. As the scout dropped behind log, three Sioux warriors rushed him. "Oid Sweetness" spoke three times and the warriors dropped in their tracks. Kelly returned to Fort Berthold and told of his adventure. The friendly Indians were wild with joy, and after that they called Kelly "The Little Man With the Strong Heart"
 The scout started again for Fort Buford and delivered the dispatches without further adventure He be came the regular mail carrier, but the Sioux were so frightened of his "strong medicine" that they never at tackled him again.
 Kelly remained in the United States service as a scout until 1883. He was a lieutenant of volunteers in the Spanish-Amcrican war and in the Philippines the old Indian scout, as captain of the Filipino scouts, added further to his Iaurels of war before he retired as a fighting man.
