CARL ]. CARLSON,
OLD Timer, DIES
TWICE THIS WEEK DEATH IN
VADED THE RANKS OF ELY'S
EARLIEST CITIZENS-CARL j.
CARLSON PASSES ON YES
TERDAY.

Death again invaded the ranks
of our early day residents yester-
day when Carl ]. Carlson succumbed
after an illness dating back to 1920
when he underwent an operation,
which at the time was pronounced
by physicians as prolongation OF
life for a matter of two or less
years. The robust build of Mr..
Carlson and his rugged constitution,
however, carried him through until
yesterday morning when he passed
on. The cause of death was all
ments of the stomach.
Carl J. Carlson was born in
Sweden ~ years ago. He came to
this country and settled in Michi-
gan. From that state he came to
Minnesota in 1884, remaining at
Tower until 1887 when he removed
to Ely and has since been resi-
dent here. During the very early
periods of the village, he with Mrs.
Carlson, conducted a boarding house
on site near where the d. & l. R.
depot now stands and before the
advent of the railroad. Later he
went into the draying business and
for many years dealt in coal and
wood. At that time, Ely residents
purchased water by the barrel and
Mr.. Carlson delivered water to the
homes.
He is survived by his widow and
four children, viz: Oscar, police
officer at Chisholm; Mrs. Anna AL
bertson of Brookston; Walter and
Mrs. Edith Nicholas of this city.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow Saturday from the home,
Rev. Williams of the M. E. church
officiating.

Over in dear old London the
times are so hard that ladies dec
crate their legs instead of wearing
stockings, and run around town
more than knee-deep in nothing
And their backs are left bare clear
down to the waist. Then some fool
asks what are we coming to when
we are already there.
Now again and once more Eu-

Out in Utah a lady itigant who
lost here suit in the Federal court

Pretty soon they will be able to hit
