Rev. F. E. StiIImeH to
Take Church at Bemidji
Resigns Congregational Passionate
in This City-Is Very High
Type Citizen

Rev. F. E. Stillwell closed his
,pastorate of the Congregational
church of this city, Sunday evening
with a strong farewell sermon.
The gentleman and his excellent
family came to Sank Centre a year
ago. His parents were devout men,
bers of the Episcopalian church,
his father being member of the
clergy of that denomination for
many years. The Sank Centre man
did not feel at home outside of the
church of his parents, and he re-
signed his Passionate in this city
and will prepare himself as an
Episcopal rector.
At a meeting of Bishop Bennett
and the diocesan council held at
Duluth Thursday of last week.
Rev. Stillwell was assigned to the
church at Bemidji This is a mis-
sion church Rev. Stillwell will be
under the direct supervision of
Bishop Bennett. The church has
a large and growing congregation.
The church property has been re-
paired and redecorated and the rec
tory will be ready for the Stillwell
family next week.
Rev. Stillwell left Sank Centre
this Thursday afternoon and will
begin his active work at Bemidji
Sunday. Mrs. Stillwell and two
children will move to Bemidji next
week.
During the year Rev. and Mrs.
Stillwell have resided in this city
the citizens of Sank Centre have
found them to be conscientious,
high type citizens. In his mingling
with the men of all denominations
the gentleman soon won their last
ing regard. He is an intelligent,
broad-minded Christian gentleman.

Young Boys Tip Over
in Duck Boat Tuesday
Theodore ROsendahl and Harlan
Pickett Rescued When They
Were Nearly Exhausted

Theodore Rosedahl and Harlan
Pickett, young boys, had a very
narrow escape from drowning in
Mccormick Lake Tuesday morning
about $3.50 when the duck boat in
which they were huning capsized
throwing both of them in the wat
er.
A man on shore, about 200 feet
distant, seeing their predicament
jumped into a nearby duck boa!
and rowed out to where the boys
were foundering. They had be-
come frantic and were rolling ov-
er and over in the water when
their rescuer reached them. After
some difficulty he placed one of
the boys in his boat, got the other
safely on top of the overturned
boat and admonished him to lay
perfectly quiet until he rowed to
short with the first boy and came
back for him. This was accom-
plished with as little delay as pos
sible.
Young Rosenthall lost one of his
heavy boots in the lake.
It is understood the boat over
turned while they were attempting
to catch up with wounded duck.
One of the boys becoming excited
shot at the duck and the impact
unbalanced him and tipped the
boat. Both guns were recovered.
Duck boats are treacherous even
when manned by experienced hunt
ers and parents are urged to not
permit their young sons to use
them while hunting. The near
tragedy of Tuesday morning should
be a sufficient warning.

A NEAR ACCIDENT

Last Sunday Patrolman Ed

clear the gravel u>road to Metre
Grove for traffic. A number of
airplanes had landed south Of Mel
rose for passenger business and so
many cars had parked along the
road that it was necessary to move
them. just as Ed and Patrolman
Saunders, of st. Cloud, arrived on
the scene, one of the airplanes,
which was taking off, hit into some
telephone wires and very nearly
caused a disaster. The poles were
knocked down one Of the cross
arms hitting the top of Chevro-
let car. The plane fluttered and
landed in corn field, from where
after hitting few shocks it arose
into the air and the pilot complet-
ed his flight without injury. Ed
says it was as close shave as he
ever wants to see at such close
range.
