YOUNG STEFAN is
DEAD FOLLOWING
J WEEKS ILLNESS
Double Pneumonia Claims Francis
Stepan of Willow River, Son
of County Commissioner.
WAS A BIG, STRONG AND
HEALTHY YOUNG MAN
Funeral is Being Held Today (Thurs'
day. Morning From the Home
and st. Mary's Church.

Francis Stepan, 81 year old son of
County Commissioner and Mrs. Frank
w. Stepan of Willow River, died early
Sunday morning at st. Mary's hospital
in Duluth, from double pneumonia.
Three weeks before his death Fran
els was taken suddenly ill with Sc
we're pains, but it lasted only a day
and he was up and about again. On
Dec 10Th the pains came on again
and he was then removed to the Du-
luth hospital where he was given the
best of care. X-rays were taken to
get at the root of the illness, but it
was not yet known what caused the
severe pains. Pneumonia developed
and that caused mis- death a week
later, on Sunday morning. Dec. %, at
o'clock. His father and mother
were constantly at his bedside and
provided all the attention and care
that loving hands and hearts can.
Francis or Jeff as he was better
known to his many friends, was big
sturdy youth weighing about 200
pounds, and looked a picture Of
health. He was born in LeSueur
county on Aug. 2, 1907, and came with
his parents to the Willow River
neighborhood in 1914 at the age of
seven. He grew to manhood on the
home farm and in later years worked
much together with his father in the
buying of livestock. He was his
fathers right hand man. Jeff" was
we'll known to the baseball players
and fans of Pine county, playing on
the Willow River team as catcher or
in the outfield. He was a happy and
pleasant young man and will be great
ly missed by his parents, brothers and
sisters and his many associates. He
was the third oldest of family of
twelve children and this is the first
death to occur in that family. The
entire family was at home with the
exception of his sister, Marie, who
was at Los Angeles, Calf, to spend
the winter. She arrived home yes
terday to attend the funeral.
Funeral services are being held to-
day Thursday from the home at
10 a m. and at II from st. Mary's

HOG, SHEEP TREND
SHARPLY HIGHER
Shipper Competition Boosts Hog
Values Unevenly 25-4Oc.-
Lamb Market Works
Back to $14.OO.

(By U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics and Minnesota Department of
Agriculture)
South st. Paul. Mimi, Dec "a
Shipper competition which took better
than half the hog run on offer in
addition boosted the market unevenly
25c to 40c on the average. An extreme
top of $3.50 was paid for few closely
sorted loads while bulk of the lights
and butchers to shippers scored at
$3.50. Packers purchased their quota
at $685., while bulk of the light lights
sold at $8.25, pigs the same money,
with packing sows at $7.75 to $500.
The lamb market was mostly Csc
higher, bulk of the fat offerings SELL
ing at $14.OO, culls $1,000, heavies
$11.58. Fat ewes sold largely at $3.50
to $3.50 while late Saturday two
doubles of 61-pound range feeding
lambs scored at $13.65, a new high
for some time.
The cattle market was slow and no
better than steady, killers apparently
requiring little beef as the result of
the holiday demand for poultry. Most
of the steer crop were warmed-ups
and sold at $500 to $1,000, cows $6.75
to $500, heifers $7.75 to $500, cutters
from $5.25 to $3.50 with bulls at $500
down. Vealers were steady, good
lights turning at $3.50 to $1,000 ac-
cording to condition. The stocker and
feeder trade was of light volume and
few price changes were evident, the
steer crop turning at $500 down most
ly, few fleshy kinds reaching 1915
and better.
