Miss Clara Olson, forty four years of age, born without her lower limbs, works a forty acre farm at Teckla,Clearwater county and supports herself and her mother who is 85 years of age. Miss Olson has been a resident of Clearwater county for the past seven years and yesterday she appeared before the district court to obtain naturalization papers and to become a citizen of the United States. Although so long a resident Miss Olson cannot speak English, but in view of the circumstances and the fact that she had abundantly proved her- self a good citizen, Judge Mec- Clenahan decided to administer the oath to her through interpre- ters, and she was accordingly made a citizen. Miss Olson came to Teckla seven years ago and filed upon a forty acre homestead. which she now ownsin fee simple. Her neighbors come inand till the little farm for her and in return she takes in sewing for them. By the farm and by her needle- work she supports herself and her mother. The circumstances are all so unusual that her appli- cation to be addmitted to citizen- ship yesterday attracted con siderable attention in court. Locals. J. C.
