YOUTH KILLED.
while HUNTING
Lawrence ScOfe1d, Near Be-
roun, Accidentally Kills
Self With Shot Gun.
Other Hunting Accidents in
Pine County Are of A
Minor Nature.

Lawrence Scofield, % year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Asa Scofield, was
shot and instantly killed in a hunt
ing accident on the home farm, Az
miles east of Beroun, Tuesday.
The young man had left the house
in the forenoon with the shot gun.
Not returning for the noon meal the
mother became worried and walked
out to look for him and was greatly
shocked to find the body in a pool OF
blood with the shot gun at the side
at about o'clock.
Apparently young Scofield had
placed the gun in some brush or a
small oak tree and had walked about
the grounds. Seeing some chickens
he had hurriedly rushed for the gun
and in pulling it from the brush with
the barrel toward him the hammer
evidently caught in twig and the
charge went off. He was shot just
below the heart, the body stopping
the full charge.
Coroner Frank P. Gottry OF Pine
City, was called and after viewing
the body and premises pronounced
it death by accidental shooting.
Lawrence was next to the Oldest
of the Scofield children. Besides the
parents he leaves to mourn his un-
timely passing two sisters and two
brothers. Mrs. Allen Lindquist, whose
husband is with the Interstate Lum-
Der Co. at Pine City, is an aunt
Lawrence was born March 81, 1908
on the farm in Munich township where
he died.
The sympathy of relatives and
friends is extended to the grief strick,

game wardens throughout the state of
Minnesota, where the chicken season
was on and thousands of hunters COM
ing from the cities and villages to
enjoy days hunting. Game Warden
Charles Beckman of Pine county made
three arrests during the day and
checked up on many hunters. Those
arrested were Henry ]. Curry of Min
neapolis, charged with hunting with
out license; Henry Valvoda of Be-
roun, having a gun assembled in a

birds in possession.

Former County
Auditor Is Feted
Eightieth Birthday Anniversary
of w. H. Hamlin Marked by
Dinner for County Officers.

Sept. Goth is a day looked forward
to annually in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Hamlin of Pine City, when
it is his birthday anniversary and
relatives and friends gather to con-
graduate the pioneer citizen and for
mer county auditor. This year the
venerable old gentleman had attained
the age of four score and is in good
health.

who is register of deeds and another
son, Robert E. Hamlin, undertaken
and furniture dealer at Moose Lake,
partook of sumptuous birthday din
ner prepared by Mrs. Hamlin and
served with the assistance of grand

membrance and esteem the county
officers presented the honored man
with a purse and told him to use it
as he liked, wishing him many happy
returns of the day.
"reminiscences of early days in the
county were exchanged and the for
mer county auditor told a story from
the time he was clerk of Chengwa-
tana township. A settler came to him
and said he had some wolves on which
he desired to collect bounty. where
are the wolves or the ears of the
animals?" asked Mr.. Hamlin, where
upon the settler hauled five dead cubs
out of his pocket. He then pulled out
his jackknife, but instead of cutting
off just the ears cut off the head Of
each. He rubbed the knife off on
his pants, pulled out a plug of chew
ing tobacco and cut off a chunk, en-
joying the tobacco while the business
transaction was being completed.
Mr.. Hamlin was born at Corydon,
Warren county, Pennsylvania, on Sept.
20, 1853. He came west with his par
ents at the age of 2, when they
homesteaded in Olmstead county near
Pine Island. He served as postmaster
in Pine Island during the two Cleve-
land administrations and his five
children we're born in that commun-
ity. The Hamlin family came to Pine
county 35 years ago, in 1898, and
took up farming in Chengwatana
township. He was later surveyor OF
the county and served as county audi
tor from 1907 to 1919 when he re-
tired. His hobby is now gardening
and raising tall yellow dent corn in
which art he excells.
The accompanying picture, taken
five years ago, shows Mr.. Hamlin with

PINE CITY FOOTBALL
TEAM DEFEATS MORA

In the first football game of the
season, Pine City defeated Mora by
score of 33 to 0. The result of this
game was surprise to followers of
the sport as it was thought that the
two teams would play on an even
basis as In past years. Pine City's
speedy halfbacks were too fast for
the Mora defense and after the first
quarter, the county seat lads had
things their own way. Another game
between these two teams will be
played later in the season.

The Sturgeon Lake baseball team
did a fine job of representing the Pine
County league at the state baseball
tourney in st. Paul Saturday when
it played and defeated the Cokato club
II to 6. The victory for the Takers
was expected by the dopesters but not
by such a decisive margin. Sturgeon
went at the business of eliminating
the Cokato team in such straightfor-
ward fashion that by the time the
first few innings had been written in
to the score book no doubt was felt
as to who would be the victor. The
Pine county entry picked up eight
runs in the first four innings off the
offerings of Harold Anderson, former
St. Olaf player and coasted to victory
with fifteen hits.
Dutch" Gay, Olson and Nelson led
the assault on the opposing pitcher
with three hits each, each getting a
double. Hoeffert, of Greeley, pitching
for Sturgeon Lake, kept the II hits
he allowed the Cokato team pretty
well scattered and assisted his team
with two hits.
Cokato picked three runs in the
fourth with two doubles, a triple by
Rice to the right center field embank-
ment and a single and added two more
in the last of the ninth when Clay
Calgren hit a home run over the left
field fence with Peterson on base. The
other Cokato run came in the seventh
on double by Peterson who scored
on balk after going to third on a
balk.
The victors scored their first run on
three singles with Olson scoring after
he advanced on singles by j. Cum
ningham and Gay. Two runs came in
the second when Anderson forced in
a pair with passes. The big inning
was in the, fourth when four hits and
an error collected four more runs.
