known to educators of the state, was
drowned in Layman Memorial lake on
the Carleton college campus in that
city, Monday afternoon. Physicians
say a heart attack was 1.-THE cause.

brought to shore. Deceased was 81
years of age and accepted the super
,intendency of the Mortified schools
eight years ago, removing to that city

tant relative Of C. A. Fobes of Red
wood Falls.
Merlin, the eleven months old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. King of Red

home of his parents last Tuesday
evening. The child had suffered from
a severe attack Of tonsilitis and the
whooping cough early last spring and
had been ailing since, but his condi-
ton was not considered serious.
Therefore his sudden death came as a
terrible shock to the members of his
family. Funeral services were held
at the home Thursday afternoon with
Rev. C. F. Martin officiating. Inter
ment was made in the Redwood Falls
cemetery. Besides the parents the
child is survived by one sister and
two brothers.
Game Warden j. Albert Johnson
of this district was in .Ivanhoe Mon
day, and in conversation stated that
he was in favor of closing the season
for shooting of pheasants, which 9TH
erwise is open couple days this fall.
He was of the opinion that the birds
are as yet far too scarce in this state
to make it wise for an open season,
and gave his view of it that unless
they are protected for a few years to
come there is danger of early extino-
ton. j. Albert stated that he would
recommend to Game and Fish Com
missioner Gould the closing of the
season, as there seems to be senti-
ment over the state to that effect
among all true sportsmen who be-
lieve in preservation of wild game.
