WILLMAR, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1905.
"Pigging" Craves Another Victim.
James Haokerson, who has been a
familiar figure about town for a num
ber of years past, was arrested Mon
day by Chief of Police Bonde on the
charge of having sold intoxicating
liquor without "being a licensed drug
gist, and in less quantity than five
gallons." The one to whom the liq
uor had been sold is Fordie Marshall
and the transaction took place last
Sunday. The preliminary hearing
was held before Judge Muller Monday
afternoon at a special term of Muni
cipal court and a number of interest
ed spectators were present to listen to
the details of the sad affair. County
Atty. O-temess appeared for the state
and Hackerson acted in the capacity
of council for the defense, altho by so
doing he came dangerously near to
establishing another case against
himself by the manner in which he
questioned the witness for the state.
Among other things which he asked
was "where the witness was in the
habit of getting his liquor," to which
Fordie replied: "Well I got it once
before from you." Realizing that he
was navigating in pretty unsafe
waters Jim decided to abandon his
career as lawyer for toe defense and
he forthwith terminated the cross ex
amination. It developed during the
taking of the evidence that Fordie had
paid Jim 75 cents, for which he (Jim)
secured a pint of whiskey which was
later turned over to Fordie thru the
medium ot the Park Cafe porch, where
Jim left it Jim tried to bring out
that he had nothing to do with the
transaction and that he furthermore
had refused to act ss a mldd'e man
between the retailer and consumer,
but he failed to bring sufficient testi
mony to prove the truth of his con
tentions to the presiding judge and he
was therefor^ bound over to await the
action of the grand jury at the riwrt
term of court. Bail was fixed at $125Kerkhoven
and being unable to secure the two
sureties required he was consigned to
a room in the hotel at the present time
under the efficient management of
Waterman & Emerson.

Atwater Wedding.

niece of Mrs. Anderson. Hey. Wag
ner was the officiating clergyman and

Anderson. After a wedding dinner
the happy Couple departed on the af
ternoon train to take up their resi
dence at Rushford, where the groom

Another of the pioneers of this town
has laid down life's burden and gone
to his eternal rest John Magnuson
Challberg died very suddenly Satur
day afteraooD, while alone out in the
woodshed. He had eaten a hearty
dinner, and seemed in his usual health
that day, so that none expected his
demise. His health has, however,
been falling fpr several years, on ac
count of old age. Dr. Frost, who was
out to v'ew the body, said a blood
vessel bad burst in the brain, and
death had been instantaneous. Mr.
Challberg came here in 1869 and took
a homestead claim. He was a hard
worker,, a peaceful neighbor, and lived
according to the Christian tenets. He
had been a member of the Lutheran
church since 1876.. He attained the
ripe old age of 79 years. The funeral
occurred Tuesday at the church, and
he was laid to rest by the side of his
wife, who died .a little over a year ago.
Heleaves two sons, Charles and Frank,
who live on the old homestead On
Tuesday, May 16, the Pacific District
of the Minnesota Conference will hold
a mission meeting in the Lutheran
church. The opening sermon will be
preached by the president of the con
ference at 3:30 p. m. on Tuessday. On
Wednesday there will be interesting
sermons in the forenoon, discussion
on an important subject in the after
noon, and preaching in the evening,
also on Thursday forenoon. All who
understand the Swedish tongue are
cordially invited to attend. Tuesday
evening one of the ministers will
preach at the schoolhouse in Kandi
yohi. The church was filled to the
last seat last Sunday by an attentive
audience witnessing the confirmation
ceremonies. The 16 young people
were first examined as to their knowl
edge in the Christian doctrine, and
then they were confirmed by confess
ing their faith, by giving their Chris
tian vows, and laying on hands by the
pastor.

Death Ht Manure.
The sad news reached us Taesday
morning of the death of Mrs. Otto
Nelson, of the town of Mamre, which
occurred Monday morning. The cause
of death was heart disease, from which
she suffered for a long time.
Anna O'Neil Nelson was born in
Dublin, Ireland. She came to Wis
consin la early life, and there she was
united .in marriage to Mr. Osto Nelson
in 1874. Four years later the family
moved to this county and made their
home in town of Mamre, where they
have since resided.
She leaves to mourn her death her
husband and three children, Albert,
Lizzie and Edward. Ooe daughter,
Nettle, has gone before her to the
land of the hereafter.
Mrs. Nelson was one of those genial,
kindly souls who make friends every
where and have no enemies. A large
circle of friends join with the bereaved
family in mourning the loss. We
join with them in extending our heart
felt sympathy to the Nelson family.
