SANDSTONE

(From the Courier Of Dec. s5)
Fred Lutter, a man 50 years
of age. who has been living alone
on a farm near Friesland. was
brought to the Tomhave home
Tuesday evening and died there
the same night with pneumonia.
after only a few days Of illness.
He took a severe cold and stayed
at the Eiffler home for a few
days before coming to town. Mr..
Lutter was born in Germany,
moved to the United States
about so years ago and has made
his home here for the past Is
years. He is survived by one
sister living in Fergus Falls.
August Rypkema, son of Reed
Rypkema. died in Minneapolis
last Friday night after a three
weeks illness. He was stricken
with smallpox the day before
Thanksgiving, later pneumonia
set in and this finally caused his
death. August was born in Sand
stone August 18th, 1891. and
made his home here until two
years ago when he went to Min
neapolis to work for the Crystal
Lake Ice Co. He was an especial
ly robust young man, but even
his youth and strength were UNI
able to withstand the ravages of
the dread diseases which are
claiming so many this year. He
was the youngest boy in the fam
lily and his death came as a great
shock to his aged father. His
pleasing personality made him
liked by all who knew him. He
is survived by his father. two sis
tiers, Mrs. M. F. Marsh of Hay
field, and Mrs. Edwin Chesbrough
of this place; and three brothers,
Martin of Milaca, Hannes of
Hinckley, and Riemer of Mime
apolis. The remains were brought
here Sunday noon and funeral
services were held in the under
taking rooms Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, Rev. c. w. Deelsny-
der officiating, and interment
was made in the local cemetery
by the side of his mother.
Most of the Sandstone people
arose a little earlier than usual
Wednesday morning when the
fire siren screeched long and loud
about 6 o'clock when a blaze was
discovered in the office of the
Electric Light Co. IL had not
made much Roadway before it
was seen, but it took little time
before enough men arrived to
man the hose carts when connec-
tons were soon made to hy-
drants at the Tomhave and Ma
tional Bank corners, but both Of
them were found to be frozen so
tight they could not be opened.
Finally a hose was strung to the
