P —a HUSBAND ) WAS T0O| HASTY Wadena Minister Explains | Away Charges Against Rev. Manly Wilson. MR. WILSON GIVEN A BIG OVA- TION AT WADENA. Evangelist Well Known in Be- midji Soon to Conduet Meet- ings at Park Rapids. According to Rev. John Wat- son, pastor of the Me sthodist church at Wadena the sensational story appearing in the & uily papers last™ weele concerning Rev. Manly Wilson, the evangel ist, who conducted a seri i res vival meeti in Ben cently, was lilke unto a tempest in a teapot. The story published in the daily papers was in the form of « dispatch from Croolsston, which gave the particulars of fistic encounter at Warren between Mr. Wilson and an irate Crooks ton man. Thz latter was the agressor, and the affuir created a big sensation. Later on the Crookston man was placed under bonds to leep the peace. The Crookston man is the husband of a charming woman, so the story lji re went, and - during & series. of meetings held in that city by Mr. Wilson, the woman experienced religion. Her family belonged to the Baptist denomination and they did not look with favor upon her intention to unite with the Methodist church. Tt was said that when Mr. Wilson went to Warren he corresponded with the Crookston woman, and her husband became S0 —ang that he boarded the ftrain for ‘Warren. This week Mr. Watson heard from there and it appears that there was not so much of a sen sation after all. The woman wrote Mr. Wilson asking him it he could advise her under the circumstances to join the Meth- odist church, and he replied to that letter. He keeps a copy of every letter he sends, and the copy of this letter was shown the angry husband, who procecded to feel awfully sorry for having unnecessarily caused There was nothing i the lette but the most commonplace things. So the affair ended there and the Crookston man returned home with a firm determination not to allow his angry passion to arise without cause hereafter. Mr. Watson says the people of Warren used Mr. nicely after the incident, and by num erous ways testified to their confidence in him. They raised a purse of $320 for hit day he left about 200 ci companied him to the the purpose of bidding well. Mr. Watson v opinion from the first that there must have been some mistake nd he is said to have this opinion confirmed by indisputable evidence. Within a short time Mr. Wilson eries of meetines at Park Rd]nus 0dd l'ellu\\s ‘le(' Merry. The local lodge of Odd Fellows held one of the most enjoyable a seene. 1) WE SUPPLY STENOGRAPHERS to any business man in the city for $25 per month for 3 months.
