Charles Edstrom of Sandstone, a
nephew of the departed one.
The flowers given as a token OF
love were many and beautiful. Mr..

worked hard, had firm Christian
faith, and was true to his convictions.

DUQUETTE MAN
BURNED WHEN
COFFEE ERUPTS

While in company with others
cutting Christmas trees one day
during the week, Alfred Torell of
Duquette, suffered painful ex-
perience when he was burned
about the face with coffee which
he was boiling.
The coffee was contained in
tight pail and was being prepared
with their lunch. When Alfred
loosened the cover to see if it
was boiling, the steam pressure
was so great that large quantity
was exploded into his face, in
flicting severe burns. He was
taken to the Moose Lake hospital
where he was obliged to remain
few days while medical care was
being administered.

2 Brothers Win
Football HOnOrs
At County Seat

Three brothers in one family earn
ing high school football honors in one
year is the record made by William,
Donald, and Halle McKusick, sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fritz McKusick of
Pine City. Always supported and en-
couraged in their athletic endeavOrs
by their father, the brothers work
hard at their sports and this year
made a record which is quite a singu-
ular one to be made by three brothers
in one season. The st. Paul Pioneer
Press of December 3rd carried the
following item concerning the three
brothers and their father:
Three of the letters awarded to
football players of Pine City high
school in the season just ended were
given to members of one family.
William, Don and Hal McKusick,
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred p. Nc
Kusick of Pine City, were members
of the football squad, and all three
were lettermen.
william, IS years old, and Hal, IA
years old, alternated at end and Don
was the first string quarterback.
: THE boys come from football stock
as their father was quarterback on
the Pillsbury Academy squad in 1897
and 1898. An uncle played center for
the same team during that time.
The old combination, McKusick
brothers, was we'll known over the
southern part of the state in the old
days, and the present generation
seems to have struck another smooth
working combination as it was Nc

NEDEGAARD BOY
SERIOUSLY HURT
Lad Fractures Skull and Has Been
Unconscious Since Tuesday
Afternoon.

Arnum Nedegaard, II year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. N. p. Nedegaard,
just west of the village, met with a
very painful and probably fatal ac-
cident at the farm home Tuesday af-
ternOon.
hardt Henriksen had just enjoyed
their afternoon coffee in the Nedegaard
home and were having jolly and
happy time, which was turned into
sorrow just a few minutes later.
They went right from the coffee table
down to the wood shed to saw some
stumps. After saving for a few min
utes Arnum went into the shed which
houses the big siX-hOrse power engine
apparently to oil it or adjust it. When
he failed to return the others went
in to see what had become of him
and were astOnished to find him flat
on the floor in a pool of blood and
unconscious. Medical aid was sum-
moned Immediately and an examina-
ton revealed that the skull was frac-
tured just behind the right ear and
the ear also mangled somewhat and
apparently internal injuries in the
head. No other parts of the body
seemed to have been injured. AS he
was alone in the shed at the time and
has not yet regained consciousness
no one knows in what manner he re-
ceived his injuries, but he had evil
dentally fallen onto a moving part OF
the engine and had been thrown away
from it with considerable force since
he was found few feet away.
His condition at this time (Wednes-
day night is said to be very serious
Part of his body seems to be paral-
lied while he is at times very restless
with the parts that seem to be normal
The bleeding from the right ear had
apparently stopped last night. He
has rot slept since the accident and

WELCOME TO
new PASTOR
The Rev. Arthur E. Frost
and Family Now Resi-
dents of ASkOV.
Delivered His First Sermon
Sunday; Social Gath
ering in Evening.

The Rev. and Mrs. Arthur e. Frost
and their five months old girl, Eve
lyn, have now arrived in the Askov
community and have taken up their
work here. They are busy getting set
tied in the parsonage. The Rev.
Frost preached his first sermon in
the Danish Lutheran church Sunday
morning and in spite of the severely
cold weather the church was well
filled. This was also the first Sun
day in Advent, the new church year,
and he spoke out from that text, add
ing the hope that the stay here of
him and his family might be fruitful.
FrOsts are Welcomed.
In the evening between 200 and
500 people gathered in the church
basement to welcome the new pastor
and his family to the community. The
basement had just undergone some
repairs and this added to the neatly
decorated tables presented very
good appearance. A number of folks
gave short talks, the local orchestra
played several selections, and mems
chorus of II voices under the direc-
ton of Mrs. A. Henriksen sang two
songs The program was also inter-
spersed with the singing OF several
songs by the audience.
Pastor Speaks.
The Rev. Frost brought greetings
from the congregation at Dagmar,
Mont, to the Askov cOngreg cation and
said that there was no bitterness
whatever on their part toward Askov
because he had been called here. He
said that he had promised to preach
out there sometime during the Christ
mas week and one Sunday each month
until spring when they get their new
pastor from Junction City, Ore, and
hoped that that would be satisfactory
to the congregation here. The Rev.
Frost said he was sorry to see the
Rev. O. H. Dyreborg family leave
Askov and the Third district of the
Danish Lutheran church, as they are
young and energetic people and their
services are needed here, but OF
course they will be welcomed in the
East. The Rev. Frost also said that
he and his family were sorry to leave
Dagmar where they had labored for
nine years and where he felt that
there was still much unfinished work,
but he felt that there was much OF
the same type of work to be done in
the Askov community amongst the
young people as well as the older
ones. and that Askov was the only
place he would have moved to from
Dagmar at this time. His parish
work on the vast prairies at Dagmar
often took him out on long drives and
gave him limited time to devote to
the study which he hoped to do more
of at Askov, though it is his desire
to visit all the homes, far and near,
in the community in time, and to be
in as close contact as possible with
all the parishioners. He said that
he has felt more need for study.
Values Two Languages.
Born in America of Danish parents
the Rev. Frost is educated in both
the Danish and American languages,
and said that he is proud to be called
a Danish-American. He said he is
not clanish Dane, but just plain

cut between the wrist and the elbow
