A newspaper clipping received here
by Mr.. and Mrs. 1. A. Ecklund from
their daughter in Chicago announced
the bombing of the Wee Lunch Room
owned by the Misses Thora and Mamma
Strandskov, Gertrude Clausen, and
Elise Jensen. The clipping carried
a picture showing the interior of
the restaurant with Miss Clausen and
Miss Jensen looking over the damage
Saturday morning, a short time after
it had been bombed. The two Strand
skov girls are sisters of Mrs. Georg
Lindegaard, Mrs. V. S. Petersen,
and Uffe Strandskov of here, and
Miss Clausen is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Hans Clausen. The girls
have owned the restaurant for four
years and according to letter writ
ten home yesterday by Miss Clausen,
they do not know why anyone should
be seeking to injure them or their
property because so far as they know
they have incurred the i'll feeling of
no one and offered the opinion that
business rivalry possibly might be the
cause. Very little damage was done,
however, and Askov friends of the
girls will hope that the incident was
a mistake and that it will not occur
again.
Niels Olesen had a narrow escape
from serious injury last week while
out cultivating. He had just dis
mounted from the seat of the cult
vator when the and year old team
became frightened and started off
full speed. Mr.. Olesen hung on to the
lines and didn't pay much attention to
following the straight rows but in
CTR Iii nj
a couple of rounds he stumbled but
still hung on to the lines and was
being dragged behind the cultivator.
The high speed and rough going be-
came too much for the cultivator and
an iron brace came loose and hit Mr..
Olesen on the head, making quite a
scalp wound. 1t was a Knockout
blow and he gave up the fight. With
their heavy load on the lines light
ened that much the team commenced
to stage a royal finish and headed for
the farm yard. The cultivator turned
over and came in upside down on
the home stretch. Buster" Olesen
caught the racers just before they
reached the barn. The cultivator
suffered only minor injuries, and aft
er the blood had been washed off Mr..
O,esen was able to continue with
his usual work. Later in the day
Buster" took the "colts" out and
, gave them another chance to put
their energy to some real good. The
next day MILFORD Olesen was cult
waiting but he was more careful and
took the old horses and everything
went lovely until he came in for din
ner and was unlocking the team
when he had the misfortune to forget
one tug. The team didn't like that
and took off on merry chase around
the farm yard and the old fellows
sure knew how to fix that cultivator,
they not only turned it upside down,
but also turned it inside out The
combined excitement did not succeed
in putting a damper on the party that
was planned for Sunday, for on that
day it was Niels Olesen's 6Sth birth
day. and all the children and grand
