CARPENTER STRUCK
BY FALLING PLANK
John Mm, Injured in Railroad
Yards, Passed Away Last
Night.
John Aim, a carpenter for the Great
Northern, working in the local yards,
was fatally injured last Thursday
morning when he slipped, and was
struck on the head by a falling tim

7.30 a. m., while a crew of men were

In shifting his position to make the
work a little easier Aim's foot slipped

struck a stone, and a three inch plank
fell on the back of his head. He was
taken at once to the hospital and ev

but to no avail, and he died last eve

ing consciousness during the five days
following the accident.
John Aim was born in Halsingland,
Sweden, May 19, 1861. He came to
Willmar nineteen years ago, and has
been employed as a bridge carpenter
by the Great Northern. He was a
hard-working man of good habits, and
his untimely end is the cause of deep
regret to all who knew him. The de
ceased was married in 1S93 to Miss
Caroline Nelson, who survives him
with three sons—Ben Aim of Milbank,
S. Emil and Alfred Aim of this
city. One son, Victor, was killed in

ASCENSION TEAM TO PLAY HERE
One of the Fastest and Cleverest
Teams Ever to Appear on the
Local Floor.
Basket ball fans of this city will be
entertained this week by one of the
fastest teams in the state, when on
Friday and Saturday evenings the fast
Ascension team of Minneapolis plays
the Cosmos Club, at the high school
gym. The visiting team comes with
a great reputation, and they have beat
en everything in their class in the
twin cities, and to date have lost but
one game, that one to the Rochester
Y. M. C. A. quint. Just what members
of the famous Ascension team will be
here, are not known, but it is safe
to say that the strongest line up avail
able will make the trip. The Cosmos
team has been putting in some hard
licks this week, in preparation for
these games and can be counted up
on to deliver the goods in good shape.
The strongest line up of the season
wrill be presented, and two of the best
games of recent years should result.
As the Ascensions will not arrive
until No. 21 Friday evening, the big
game will not commence until 9:30,
but at 8:15 there will be a fast pre
liminary between two local teams. On
Saturday evening the teams will meet
again, this time the game will be call
ed at 8:15. The usual prices of ad
mission, 15 and 25 cents will be
charged. As the local team is at a
great expense to bring this team to
Willmar it is up to the fans to turn
out and help defray expenses.
Next week Friday and Saturday eve
nings the St. Joe Independents of
Minneapolis play the Cosmos Club at
the high school gym. Don't forget
the games this week, and if you can't
get to both of them, plan to see at
least one contest.
Johnson-Lindgren.
A pretty home wedding took place
last Saturday afternoon at two o'clock
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. August

ated a great deal of merriment.

ing room, carrying the ring on a
white pillow. Misses Barbara Will

"THE VOYAGES OF
THEMINGS"
Dr. Leach, of New York, Will
Give Interesting Illustrated
Lecture Mar. 19.
Dr. Henry, Goddard Leach, Secre
tary of The American-Scandinavian
Foundation in New York, will deliver
an illustrated lecture at Willmar
Seminary on Friday evening, March
19th. His subject will be "The Voya
ges of the Vikings", including not only
discovery of America by the Norse
man about the year 1000, but also the
expeditions to Russia, Constantinople,
Jerusalem, Sicily, and the con
quests of Normandy and England. Dr.
Leach, who is a graduate of Prince
ton and Harvard and was formerly an
instructor at Harvard, has made a
special study of this intensely inter
esting field of history.
The American-Scandinavian Found
ation was established in 1911 by a
Danish-American citizen of Brooklyn,
Mr. Niels Paulson, and upon his death
shortly afterwards came into pos
session of about half a million dollars
to be used in promoting educational
intercourse between Scandinavia and
the United States.
One of the Norwegian students en
joying a Fellowship from the Ameri
can-Scandinavian Foundation is Mr.
Lars Berg, who during the current
year has been a student at the Univer
sity of Minnesota. Among those who
are studying in Scandinavia with
Scholarships from the Foundation is
Mr. Axel Brett, a graduate of Gustav
us Adolphus College and the Univer
sity of Minnesota.
New Bank's Interior.
The work on the interior of the new
Kandiyohi County Bank building is
now progressing rapidly. The decor
ators were delayed for a long time ow
ing to the moisture in the dead air
space above the ceiling, but are now
well under way with their work. Con
tractor Olson states that he expects
the interior will be finished about the
middle of April. Two carpenters
from St. Paul, P. Ullrich, and C. J.
Lindgren have been working for some
time on placing in the wood work.
The decoration is being done by Mr
Hogan, the well known Morris paint
er, and that the result will be an ar
tistic piece of work goes without say
ing. The general public will be in
terested in viewing the new building
when the bank opens up in its new
quarters.

RAYMOND STAYS DRY
HARRISON VOTES WET
Township Election in Harrison
Exciting—DeGraff Goes
Dry.
Yesterday was town meeting day,
when the various villages and town
ships elected their officers and appro
priated money for township roads and
other expenses. We expect to pub
lish complete returns in our next '&
sue.
The liquor question was an issue
at Raymond and in the Township of
Harrison. Raymond again voted dry
by 15 majority, but Harrison went wet
by four votes. One report gives the
vote as 54 to 58 and another 56 to
60. The election in Harrison was the
most exciting one ever held there.
More than 120 votes were cast, some
of which did not vote at all or did not
vote correctly on the issue. There is
a good deal of feeling shown about
the contest and the end is not yet.
Since the prosecution of the whole
sale beer house last year, which mov
ed into the town from Union Grove
after that township voted dry, there
has been an element in Harrison that
was not satisfied. The wet element
was well organized and outside liquor
men are known to have visited the
town before this election. It is hard
ly to be expected that any saloon li
cense will be granted, but no doubt
the Hamm Brewing Company will es
tablish a wholesale depot there, in
case the town is found to have leg
ally gone wet. As the town has vot
ed dry before, the majority for wet
must be of all votes cast.
Returns from the State at large in
dicate a gain for the drys. In our
neighboring counties: Belgrade again
wrent wet, 64 to 48 Paynesville dry,
155 to 103 Kimball wet, 60 to 53,
Appleton dry, 198 to 97 Carrell, Louis
berg, Danvers and De Graff (by 10
majority), in Swift county, dry and
Bellingham and Holloway wet Wheat
on, dry Browns Valley wet Tintah,
wet Herman, wet, 93 to 17 Dassel
remains dry by 47 votes Litchfield
township drv by 10, in order to close
local wholesale trade from brewery,
Howard Lake dry Waverly and Del
ano, wet Sacred Heart, Renville and
Hector, dry Olivia, Bird Island, Fair
fax and Buffalo Lake, wet.
One surprise was the result at De
Graff, which abolished saloons by ten
majority. This cleans up all the
Great Northern stations from beyond
Benson on the west to Waverly on the
east, fifteen in succession.
RAYMOND REMAINS IN
THE DRY COLUMN
Second Dry Majority is About Same
As That of Last Year.
(Special to the Tribune:)
Raymond, Minn., Mar. 9, 1915—For
the second time in the history of this
village the no-license forces carried
the day by a vote of 49 to 34, practic
ally the same vote as last year. Th*
contest was very quiet and not much
effort was made on either side, as ev
erybody was expecting just this kind
of a result. This will undoubtedly
make Raymond dry permanently, and
there will be no more saloons in Kan
diyohi county. A large expense, that
of applying the County Option law in
case license should have carried, has
also been averted, thanks to the wis
dom of the voters of the village of
Raymond.
