Calf abandoned By
Mother Con-. Found
r. ". Plant Said Calf
Lived Eight Days
Without Food, Doing Fine

A strange tale Of a pheasant hunt
that netted one nine-day old calf,
abandoned by Dinah, was told by
r. ". Plant this week who brought
the quarry home alive.
Dinah-a black COW owned by
Plant-gave birth to calf and then
casting aside all her inherent moth
erly protectiveness, abandoned her
offspring. But the calf must have
had nine lives.
Because that was nine days ago
Sunday. Sunday, as the pheasant
season swung under way, Mr.. Plant
and his son, Bobby, in an attempt
to "flush" a pheasant, discovered
the calf.
The whole tale of the abandoned
calf-without food for eight days
was told by Mr.. Plant this week
with a happy ending.
After Dinah had given birth to
her calf, she came back to the farm.
I'VE figured the calf had died." he
said. when the cow made no move
to return to the calf, we were quite
sure Of its DEATH"
Then Sunday, after hope Of find
ing the calf had been abandoned.
they stumbled suddenly onto the
gaunt, half-starved frame Of the
young calf. Weak, terribly thin.
the calf was carried back to the
farm.
"It was still alive" Mr.. Plant
said. "Now she's doing fine" They
regard it as something Of a miracle
that the calf survived those eight
foodless days. A veterinarian told
him calves have been known to live
for three days in like circum-
stances, but no longer.
BY the way, they call the cow
"Dinah' because she's black.

Missed Fen Fires In
Thirty.TaOo Years
Retired From Active List
OF Sauk Centre Fire De-
partment Three Weeks Ago

A man rose from his bed late
Sunday night, as the siren scream
ed out its fire warning sign that
sent firemen and engines scamper-
ing to the scene, and then quietly
returned to his rest.
The man was B. o. Vogel, and it
was unusual for him. It was one
of the few fires that he had missed
in the times when he was not eth
er i'll or away from home. It was
one of the few fires he had missed
in a period Of thirty-two years. He
attended them not as an idle by
stander but he had work to do as
a member of the Sauk Centre Fire
Department.
About three weeks ago he sever
ed his connections with the depart
ment with which he had been as
sociated so long, severed connec-
ton he had paced as it grew.
IT think it was more than 80
years." he said this week. IT was
running livery stable at the time
and was approached to join the
department" He said he didn't
want to join but he finally sent in
his application and along came the
acceptance some time later.
He went into the department be-
fore the days of motored vehicles
to flash around in to the fires.
Sometimes they pulled by hand the
hose carts on a bitter cold night
with the snow swirling deep as the
knees.
"I'll never forget one cold night"
he said. I'VE pulled those hose
carts out into snow that Deep" sig
Mailing a depth above the knees.
The fire, he explained, was up near
Keller hill and 1t was only IAN old
she'd"
He explained as his reason for
quitting job that had sent him
to dozens Of fires. large and small.
that "there are lots Of young fell
lows who want to get in," and he's
making room for them.
"You know" he said, IT didn't ev-
en- call up Sunday night to find out
where the fire was. I just went
back to bed"

Midnight Fire
Business Block
Spontaneous Com
bustion Given AS Cause
OF Conflagration
A SERIOUS THREAT
Discovered In Nick
Of Time-JOhn
Mondloch Notified

A fire, which could have been a
serious menace to the business dis
trict of the city, was nipped in the
bud early Monday morning, when
passerbys discovered flames in the
Dahlem store on Third Street.
This fire started at the head of
the stairway on the second floor of
the Dahlem building, and the dam
age was confined to a section of
the floor along the railing, the up
per step and the railing itself. The
fire, said Chief George Fish, was
evidently caused by spontaneous
combustion among sacks Of salt
and sawdust piled along the rail-
ing. Under the sacks Of sawdust
the flames burned a hole through
the floor, the railing along the Sec
ond floor was entirely destroyed
and a part Of the staircase itself
was damaged.
Passersby, who discovered the
fire at about 1890 o'clock, notified
John Mondloch, assistant fire chief
who Immediately turned in the
alarm, and then ran to the store
and kicked in the door. He, with
the assistance of Sam Olson, car
ried water to the fire, and thus held
the flames from spreading until the
arrival Of the fire department. On
ly small hose was then necessary
to extinguish the flames.
Besides the fire damage to the
building, there was some damage
by water and smoke. The Dahlem
store was open for business the next
morning as usual, and businessmen
in that section Of the city were hap
py that serious fire, such as they
had experienced not long ago, had
been averted.

Frank Unger
80 Years Old
Children, Grandchildren
And Friends Attended
Celebration In HIS Honor

In the old farm home where he
had farmed for more than 30 years,
Mr.. Frank Unger was honored by
his children and grandchildren Sum
day when he celebrated his SOth
birthday. The home is now the resi-
dence of his daughter and son-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Polipnick,
southwest Of this city.
At this house, where all Of Mr..
Unger's children were born, Sun
day marked the first time since the
death Of Mrs. Unger, on August 81,
1884, that so many Of the children
and their families had been togeth-
er.
Now retired since 1919 from active
business Of farming, Mr.. Unger re-
sides in this city at 532 Birch
Street with his daughter, Miss Reg
ina Unger.
Ten Of Mr.. Unger's children with
their families and wives and most
Of their children, were present at
the family party. Several Of the
children came from considerable
distances to help their father OBJ
serve this anniversary. The five
children and their husbands or
wives from out Of town were: Mr..
and Mrs. J. c. Unger, Of Seattle.
Washington; Mike Unger, of Madi-
son, Wisconsin; Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Doran, of International Falls; Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Unger, Jr., Of st.
Cloud; and Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold
Unger, Of Viroqua, Wisconsin.
From this vicinity another five chill
dren and families are: Mr.. and Mrs
Alex Bromenshenkel, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gerhard Nathe, Mr.. and Mrs. Leo
Unger, Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Polip-
nick and Miss Regina Unger. There
were 81 grandchildren who attend
ed the party.
Perhaps it's singular that both
Mr.. Unger and his late wife were
born in the same vicinity in Hun
gary. Then some years later and
thousands of miles away from their
childhood home the two were mar
ried near this city more than 50
years ago.
Now eighty years old with a fam
lily gathered around him on such
occasions, Mr.. Unger is still active
and enjoying fairly good health.
go
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Doran, of In
ternational Falls, who attended the
celebration, were advised that all
danger of forest fires was over.
and they returned to thesr home.
The fire at one time, reached
point within one mile of their home,
and threatened the community in
which they resided.

Alaska M0Ding Pictures
Enjoyed BY Friends
DR.. and Mrs. Woodbridge
Visited Friends In
This CITY Over Weekend

Social life in Alaska Is dated by
the popularity Of the polka, the
schottische, and the old fashioned
waltz danced to the music of a
phonograph, DR.. and Mrs. H. J.
Woodbridge told friends in this city
Sunday on their recent return from
five months service in Dutch Har-
Dor, Alaska.
Sunday evening, at the home OF
their host and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs.
Walt Gritzmacher, DR.. and Mrs
Woodbridge, former residents OF
this city, unwound the strange odd
tiles Of this land Alaska-the por-
ton Of which they lived on was on
ly 600 miles from Japan. Dutch
Harbor is in the Aleutian chain OF
Islands that juts into the north
Pacific from the southwest angle OF
the peninsular possession.
Supplementing their rem r k 6
they showed two and half hour
film that traced their five months
residence from beginning to end.
The Doctor, who was sent to the
point by the United States Govern
ment Dental Service, has just re-
turned to Marine hospital in Seat
tie, Washington.
The topography Of the islands is
fundamentally rock, with little or
no vegetation, few trees. Only cab
bage grows and beautiful flowers.
There are no domestic animals ex-
cept the huskies, who pull loads
like trojans and fight among them
selves as hard.
Mrs. Woodbridge on a fishing
trip caught the largest halibut the
islanders had seen for some time,
they said. It was a 200 pound
specimen and required two men to
land It. In a few hours they had
300 pounds Of halibut. They saw
salmon runs, and observed how the
natives string the salmon to dry in
long lines.
Coal is $27.50 per ton, and the doc.
tor hauled it to the cabin in wheel
barrows. The climate necessitated
a fire all summer long, and they
wore fur coats and rain apparel
since 1t rained incessantly. DIR
Woodbridge had nearly two miles
across treacherous water to go te
work each day in Unalasla.
Monday they left this city fol
other points in this state before re
turning. as their leave expires soon
to their home in Seattle.

Sank Centre
Won From
Osakis 1912
First Win On New
Lighted O-Sa-Ge Field
Friday Night
VISITORS LED AT HALF
Locals Romped Fifty
Yards On Four
Completed Passes

For the last game away from
home the Harveymen take the
road Wednesday, October 26th,
travel the 20 miles to Glenwood
and wind up the seventh game
In the eight game schedule.
GlenwO0d, defeated by the loc-
ais Is to last year, has show
ed surprising gain in strength
this season, defeating Morris
early FL to and more recently
losing to Alexandria by one
touchdown, 6 TO 0. For the Last
game on O-Sa-Ge field Alexan-
dria, under George Roscoe. for
mer University of Minnesota
Gopher, comes here to wind up
the schedule.
Sauk Centres Harveymen won
their first game on O-Sa-Ge field
Friday evening to boost their stock
to three victories in five starts, de-
feating scrapping Osakis eleven
before a crowd that dwindled to
half of the top crowd of 1900 that
saw Long Prairie and Main Street
battle to a scoreless tie a week ago.
Led by a spearhead attack that
shaped round backs Blume and
johnson and boy at the end slot,
Howard, Osakis easily pushed the
locals around for the first half, and
with power surges broke the defen-
sive to score IL points before the
half time marker.
For Osalxis these two scores were
the second and third touchdowns
they had converted all season.
It was q second half victory for
the Harveymen as they swung into
q passing route, that bordered on
the razzle dazzle, and marched their
way to score twice with one CONVEX
sion to win Is to IL.
An attack that failed to generate
anything at all and a defensive that
buckled under the spirited drive
of these Osakis lads found the loc-
ais trailing at the halftime by a
touchdown. Completely dominating
that first half of play, Osakis
marched to the goal twice as they
snudged in behind the running of
Blume and johnson.
Perhaps it was an over-confident
Sauk Centre troupe that went onto
that field Friday evening. Hadn't
Osakis only just begun football?
Hadn't they been defeated along the
line by wide margin scores? Hadn't
they been held to only one score
during the entire season? But they
failed to reckon with the fact that
Osakis was a fighting ball club, that
the game was the first in the his
tory of the two schools, that Osakis
was pointing for this game.
It was largely Osakis' inexper-
ience that led to their defeat after
an apparent victory. They could
set up no pass defense to stem the
tide of sparkling brand Of pass
ing that merged around the backs
Kringen and Pangburn and found
able receivers in Rasmussen and
Kringen and Pangburn alike.
That winning point-that marked
lucky 13 for the locals-must be
given to Captain Donny Ethun. Just
now coming back, three games af-
