RECKLESS MOTOR
CYCUSTJS FINED
Farmer Boy Lining Near St.
Gioud Brot Here Before
Municipal Court.
Sheriff Peter Bonde succeeded in
finding the motor-cyclist who ran
down the elderly Mr. Peter Eklund at
New London when going to church a
week ago Sunday. While the number
of the cycle had not been taken, the
young man was traced by 'phone as
*ar as Rockville and was held by the
marshal there for a time. The reck
less driver was Samuel Erdahl, a far
mer's son, who lives midway between
St. Cloud and Rockville. He was
brought Wednesday night by Sheriff
Bonde by way of Minneapolis. Thurs
morning he was arraigned in the
Municipal court on the charge of rid
ing a motorcycle in such a manner as
to endanger the- life and limbs of oth
ers. He pleaded guilty and was fined
$25 and costs amounting in all to
$46.74. This was paid and Mr. Er
dahl departed for his home a poorer
but wiser lad.
Mr. Erdahl had been working with
a threshing machine near Danvers
and was on his way to pay a visit to
his home on Sunday. Coming at high
speed in the village street with a pas
senger behind his seat he ran down
Mr. Eklund, the wheels passing over
his body and breaking his shoulder.
The cyclist did not stop to see what
become of his victim, but went right
on. This fact angered the villagers
greatly and led to the lad's apprehen
sion and fine. This incident should
prove a warning to reckless drivers
both of cycles and other motors.
Sneak Thieves in City.
A gang of two or more sneak thieves
have been operating around the city
during the nights o* the past week.
They have entered a number of base
ments and carried off eatables and
other articles which appealed to them.
Last Wednesday night houses on East
Litchfield avenue were entered. At
Sam Nelson's residence a sum of
money, about $7.00, was taken from
Mrs. Nelson's handbag. Unsuccess
ful attempts were made to enter the
Styles, Lawson and Winney abodes.
In the Ohsberg basement some eat
ables and a couple of bottles of old
wine, put away many years ago and
kept to be used at some future anni
versaries, were taken. The fastenings
of the basement doors and windows
of other residences have been tam
pered with. Saturday night alarms
were turned in from the Woodcock
and other residences. So far the
thieves have eluded the efforts of the
police to capture them.
Warm Dinner at Fairgrounds.
During the County Fair the eating
pavillion will be in charge of a com
mittee which will serve for the bene
fit of the Bethesda Orphanage and Old
Folks Homes. Warm dinner consisting
of meat, potatoes, vegetables, pickles,
bread, pie, coffee, etc., will be served
each day from eleven to two o'clock
and lunches from two on as long as
necessary. While the ladies of the
Lutheran Free church have taken the
responsible lead in this move, they
will be assisted by ladies from other
churches in their praiseworthy work.

thony Street in Ferring's Addition

COUNTY FAIR 0G
CURSJEXT WEEK
News Notes Regarding The Big
Annual Event in the
County.
An invitation has been extended to
James J. Hill to visit the Kandiyohi
County Fair next week. He is known
to have promised to visit the Pipe
stone fair on the same dates, and it
is hoped that he may be prevailed up
on to stop off at Willmar.
Mr. Stone's prize dairy herd of Ben
son will be shown at our County Fair.
They will not compete for the prizes,
but simply be brought here for exhibi
tion purposes. The herd is being
shown at the State Fair this week,
and the car will stop at Willmar on
the return. This herd will be housed
in a tent by themselves and will no
doubt be a great attraction to the
stock-breeders of this community.
The herds of the dairymen of the
county will be well represented and
much friendly rivalry exists as to who
will carry off the honors this year.
The same is true of the beef cattle.
Several herds never before shown will
be represented here. One new feat
ure is the fat cattle contest, both for
fully developed and baby beeves.
The accommodations for the hous
ing of the horse exhibits are of the
very best. It is thought that all own
ers of fancy horse flesh in the county
will take advantage of the opportun
ity that the fair gives of advertising
their animals.
The fruit exhibits promise to be
good this year, also the corn and vege
table displays. The farm club exhib
its will be new features at this fair.
In spite of the prevalence of hog
cholera several entries in the swine
department are already promised. The
leading herds will be represented by
splendid specimens.
The music at the fair will include
concerts by the Willmar Military
Band, and very likely the Raymond
Band, the latter having made a bid to
come.
The demand for exhibition space in
the main building has been good, and
that this large place will be complete
ly filled with interesting things is as
sured.
The old time street fair colors, ma
roon and gold, have been adopted as
the official colors together with the
national emblems and colors which
are always in order.
The acrobatic performances will
take place on a platform already
erected on the side of the race track
opposite the natural amphitheatre in
front of which the races will start and
finish. The Bottomley Troupe of five
people are considered among the very
best on the road. They are at the
State Fair this week and their stunts
include many amazing acts. It is
quite different from anything ever
shown at Willmar before.
The race track was turned over as
completed last Tuesday. W. E. Som
erville has been engaged to perfect
the surface of the same, and by alter
nate dragging and harrowing of the
surface already has it in remarkably
good condition for a new track. Tae
list of races scheduled is given else
where, and a good share of the purse
money is open to Kandiyohi county
horses only.
The work of fencing the grounds i?
neafing completion. Cross-arms witn
several strands of barbed wire on top
of the fence will guard the grounds
from deadheads. New board fences
shut off the view from Nelson and
Park avenues.
The eating .pavilion will be managed
by a committee of ladies for the bene
fit of the Bethesda Homes. Warm
dinner will be served from eleven un
til two o'clock each day and lunches
thruout the afternoon. The ladies
will be assured of a liberal patron
age.
On Children's Day, following the
daylight fireworks, there will be sev
eral races for the children. The fol
lowing have been officially announced:
Boy's Bicycle Race—% mile, open
to all boys 14 years or under prizes
$2, $1, 50c and 25c.
Shetland Pony Race—% mile dash
purse $3, $2 and $1.
Boy's Foot Race— 100 yards—best
two out of 3, 14 years or under $1,

75c, 50c, 25c.

Thursday and Friday afternoons after

sing'e cylinder and Friday double cyl
inder machines will compete.
Concessions to be Let.
The three first, choice locations for
refreshment stands at the County Fair
will be let to highest bidder next Sat
urday, Sept 12, at 4 p. m., the board
of managers reserving the right to set
a minimum price on same.

JOHN F. W. HIER.
John Frederik William Hier was
reared in his native county and early
became familiar with all the branches
of farm work on a Wisconsin farm
fifty years ago. His educational ad
vantages were limited to the public
schools. At the outbreak of the Civil
War he was a school boy and nssisted
in the work on the farm, and, like
most of the youths of the country in
those dark days, was ambitious to
enter the army and fight for the free
dom of the land, he had bean taught
to love. Extreme youth, however, at
first prevented his enlistment but in
May 1864, while yet in his teens, he
became a member of the 41st Wiscon
sin Infantry and went out for hundred
days, serving until the expiration of
that time and then re-enlisting and
continuing in {he army until the end
of the war when he was honorably dis
charged. After the war he located in
Blue Earth County, Minn., and for
three years engaged in railroad work.
In 1872 he removed to what is now
Springfield and located on a home
stead and lived there until 1899, when
he again removed with his family to
this place where he resided until the
time of his demise. He was married
in 1873 to Miss Hanna Bennet and to
this union were born five children,
two of which survived, Thos. E. and
David E. She died in 1881. In 1883 he
was married to Miss Caroline Larson
and to them were born six children
of which five are still living, Albert
S., Bainsville, Montana, Frank R., J.
Arthur, Lillian E. and J. Anson. He
died in St. Barnabas Hospital in Min
neapolis on August 30, and is survived
by his wife, six sons,' Edward of
Springfield, Dave of Mallard, Albert of
Bainville, Montana, Frank, Arthur,
and John of Raymond, one daughter,
Miss Lillian of Raymond, and one sis
ter, Mrs. August Klinghiel of Well,
Minn.
As a fellow citizen the deceased
has devoted much of his time and
energies to the upbuilding and boost
ing of Raymond. The progress of the
town was one of his hobbies. For years
he has been a member of the council
and term after term he was honored
to serve on the board of education.
The funeral was held under the aus
pices of the M. E. church, Rev. J.
Watson officiating, on Wednesday af
ternoon and the remains laid to rest
in the family lot in Fairview ceme
tery—Raymond News.
G. V. LARSON.
J. P. Larson of this city received a
telegram telling of the death of his
brother, Gustaf V. Larson which oc
curred at Seattle, Sept. 6. The cause
of death is not known here. The news
is received with regret, as Mr. Lar
son is well known by many here. He
was a resident of Green Lake town
ship for twenty-six years.
Gustaf Victor Larson was born in
Smaland, Sweden, in Oct. 1850. He
came to this country when 17 years of
age, locating at Beaver, 111. In 1883
he came to Minnesota and lived on
Lake Oliver, the larger Twin lake, for
many years. He sold his farm five
years ago and moved to Seattle. In
1877 he was married to Miss Theckla
Swanson, who passed away some
years ago. He leaves six children to
mourn the loss of a good father
Ernest Larson, residing in California
Mr. Leonard Larson and Misses Dena,
Emma, Constance and Hilda residing
at home. The deceased is mourned
in this county by the J. P. Larson, J.

to install something different to use
for fire alarm. The contrivance is
known as a "screech owl."

SLAUGHTER OF
THE INNOCENTS
Hunters Tun Loose Last Mon
day anOpen Fire On
Monday was the opening day for
hunters, and a large force of sports
men swept out over the country in
quest of the chicken and duck. Game
proved quite plentiful and there was
a tremendous slaughter of the inno
cents among the wild feathered tribe.
Among the bags reported at Willmar
are the following:
John and Arthur Johnson, Herbert
Wadell, Jack Leach and W. E. Scott,
17 ducks.
Billy Williams and Myron Cramer,
2 chickens and 6 ducks.
George Johnson and Ralph Yarrow,
6 ducks and one chicken.

Left Stockholm Aug. 24.
P. A. Jagerstrom, of Spicer, woo
has been visiting in Sweden this sum
mer, returned last Monday after an
absence of three months. He left
Stockholm Aug. 24 and returned via
Norway and England, securing pas
sage on the Mauretania. Gothenburg
is largely shut off from outside com
merce by the mining and patrolling of
the North Sea by warships. Mr. Jag
erstrom says Sweden is prepared to
defend its neutrality to the utmost.
Its army is mobilized and at Gothen
burg he saw volunteers in citizens
clothing drilling on the parade
grounds. One group of the Swedish
people under the.leadership of Sven
Hedin favors an alliance with Ger
many. Among the common people of
Stockholm, where Mr. Jagerstrom
spent most of his time, the feeling was
pro-Russian. Very little is said pub
licly on the question. War news are
meager there as well as here, and
there is a deep conviction that the
true situation is being deeply veiled
by the beliggerent nations for strateg
ic reasons.
Mr. Jagerstrom came by way of
Leith, Scotland,'that being the farth
est south port of Great Britain where
it was thought safe to bring passen
gers. No less than four vessels were
sunk by mines outside of that port
while he was there, and it is likely
that port also will be closed to com
merce.
The harbor was full of warships,
and two smaller ones came out to
meet the ship on which Mr. Jager
strom arrived.
Honored by Congregation.
Andrew Flygare, who has served
the Swedish Lutheran church here as
its treasurer and a trustee for twen
ty-five years, was honored by the con
gregation with a surprise party at his
country home on Thursday evening of
last week. A large number of the
members of the congregation gathered
to pay their respects to Mr. Flygare
and arrived at his home well provided
with eatables and plans for the spend
ing of a pleasant evening. The main
reason for the visit was made known
when Rev. Schoberg on behalf of the
congregation presented Mr. Flygare
with a fine gold watch and chain. The
watch was suitably engraved and tha
gift carried with it the best wishes of
his many friends. A song and praise
service and a general social time was
greatly enjoyed by all who had the
pleasure of attending.—Atwater Re
