Transcript: Emil Schlag, of
Solona, Minn., has come to this
city and claims a share in the
estate of the" late Frederick
Schlag, of Royalton. He claims
that he is the son of Charles
Schlag, who died about 35 years
ago at Pierz. Chas. Schlag
was a son of  Frederick Schlag.
The other heirs of Fredrick
Schlag, are Gottlieb Schlag,
Christ Schlag, of Royalton,
Mrs. John Hanfler, of this city,
and Mrs. Susan Fried, of Wim-
bleton, N. D., deny that Emil
Schlag is the son of Charles
Schlag. They say that he was
about 3 years old at the time
his mother married Charles
Schlag and that he was never
adopted. Chas. Schlag died 9
months after marrying and left
no children, according to the
heirs. The estate amounts to
something over $2,900. The
case will be heard Monday by
Judge of Probate E. F. Shaw.
MAN KILLED

Royalton—John Wojdula Jr.,
of Bowlus was killed Monday
noon just south of that village
by the west bound Northern

been in Royalton and had started for a farmers home two miles
south of the village. He was
thrown from the path of the
engine and his head crushed.
He lived only 20 minutes and
never regained consciousness.
The injured man was taken onto
the train, and would have been
hurried to the hospital at Brainerd but death occurred before
the train left Royalton and the
body was left. The victim of
the accident was about 23 years
of age and was the .son of John
Wojdula Sr., a retired farmer,
living at Bowlus. Just how he
came to be caught in front of
the   approaching   train   is   uu-
The case which was to have
come up before Judge of Probate E. F- Shaw Saturday over
decision of the estate of the late
Frederick Schlag was settled
by the heirs. Emil Schlag
claimed a share in the estate on
the grounds that he was a son
of Chas. Schlag, who died many
years ago.
Geo. Boser Sr., at Rest.
George Boser Sr., died at his
home two miles north of Pierz
last Sunday evening at 9:40 in
the 76th year of his age. Bornin

Eli of Mille Lacs. Engvald
lived that lenght of time with

come home at meal time. That

took action and through her
attorney, Rollef Vaaler of

Judge Roeser in district court
late yesterday.
She was granted a divorce
on the grounds of desertion.
The husband whose' address is

In her petition     the women

The home team and the Laurels, of Little Falls, had it out
on the local diamond last Sunday. Three times and out,
that's all. Score 12 to 2 in
favor of Pierz.
Next Sunday the Buckman
team is coming. This team has
been very much strengthened
for this occasion and a tine
game is looked for. Every fan
should be present. Our boys
have played good, clean ball
this summer and this may be the
last game of the season. Besides
they are a little behind, financially speaking, and your little
two bits would help 'em a whole
lot. They are deserving of
your aid, so come out and help
them  along.
