CoHASSET HERALD-REVIE IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE COHASSET, MINNESOTA, DECEMBER 6, 1911 BOOST FOR COHASSET OVERFLOW LOCALS. | Many wondered why “Bert” Weeks, brakesman on the ‘‘Merry Widow” train, is always referred to as the most popular brakesman on the line. it is easily explained, howey A Herald-Review reporter Was returning from Marble on the evening train a short time ago and | Seated in the car was an old gentle- man whose destination was Coleraine,! It was evident he was not accus- tomed to traveling, for he asked anx- jiously at each stop if that station Was Coleraine. Each time, Mr. Weeks explained he would tell him when it came time for him to get off, and when the train pulled into the Coleraine station he picked up} the old gentleman’s luggage and as- sisted him off as carefully as though he had been the prettiest girl on the Mesaba range. This was only one case. Passengers who travel on that train nearly every day state that old or young, pretty or ugly, aii receive the same courteous treat- ment from Mr. Weeks. Jobn O’Brien had a dog—and there-} by hangs a tale. On the dog? Of course not, silly. We mean a story and to make it short, (the story) the facts are simply these. Albert Hachey was invited to the O’Brien farm during the hunting season. He gladly availed himself of the invita- tion and on his arrival at the farm it was no trouble to secure Mr. O’- Brien’s company on the hunt for deer. They trailed tracks all day long, and nary a deer did they see, ‘but, ‘long about dusk they saw an animal stealing through the woods. Mr. O’Brien pronounced it a wolf, arg advised his companion to take a shot at it. Hachey followed d.rections— and missed. Again he shot—same result, apparently. The animal head- ed their way and so Mr. Hachey emptied the contents of his gun at! it. It still persisted in coming to ward them and not until it fell dead} at Mr. O’Brien’s feet did he discov- | er it was the old family dog. | Talking about your lucky men, Fred [ A. King, of the frm of Kremer & King, is surely the prize winner. | Mrs. King departed for Saginaw, | Mich., last week for an extended vis- | it and Mr. King was bitterly be moaning the fact he would have to keep or else live at the restaurants, He induced his! daughter, Mre. D. M. Vermilyea, with | the children, from | Marble Wednesday evening and pre-! Thanksgiving turke; house, all alone, to come over side over the the following day. When that was over, he put up such a strong argu- ment that she finally consented to) remain over the week end. Saturday | evening Mr. Vermilyea came over, | accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. J. Cc. | McKusick and their little son. All) planned to return Monday morning, but late Sunday afternoon it was | discovered that the Little sons of} both families had contracted a well defined case of chickenpox—and now Mr. King is basking in the luxury of home cooked viands every day, while the two young husbands are left to the tender mercies of friends and the restaurants at Marble. “A NAUTICAL KNOT” PRESENTED DEC. 15 By Members of High School Chorus At Auditorium Under Direction of Miss Becker. Owing to the fact the Herald-Re- yiew is crowded for space this week, we do not give the cast of characters of the high school operetta, A Nauti- cal Knot, which will be staged by the high school chorus under the direction of Miss Annie M. Becker at high school auditorium Friday evening, December 15. A Nautical Knot is a light and airy operetta and each participant has been chos- en with great care. The cast of characters will be published in next issue of the Herald-Review. DELEGATES TO ST.

He is also one of the members of the state board of managers of the Christian church work in Minnesota. About 2 years ago he was sent to Cohasset to take charge of the work in Itas- a county and his salary was paid from the state funds. During the past year, owing to business changes in the village, a majority of the members of his flock have removed to other cities and there are only two or three families left of the However, his services have always been well! attended, as his sermons were al- ways of a modern character. A short time ago he was sent his regular al- lowance from the state fund, but returned it on the ground that inso- much as his congregation had van- ished, he was not entitled to pay tor services which he did not rend- er for that particular denomination.

Hunters Saved When Animal’s Leg Catches in Tree. Louis Quailey and Edward Hindea of Hibbing arrived from a hunting trip with the story of a remarkable adventure with a bull moose near West Two lakes. The moose pursued the hunters, who took refuge behind & tree. The enraged animal struck viciously at the men in an effort to reach them, and in so doing caught its right fore leg in the crotch of a small tree. The moose was unable to get its leg free and one of the hunters killed it by cut- ting its throat. Minnesota State Official Dead. George Welsh, state immigration commissioner, is dead at his home in St. Paul. Death was not unexpected, as he has been suffering with typhoid fever for two weels and had not shown signs of improvement. Mr. ‘Welsh was appointed state immigra- tion commissioner by the ‘state immi- gration board in 1907, when the de partment was first organized. He has held the office ever since.
