Prof. Rose, Mrs. W.T. Minchen and Miss Louise Minchen will leave
tomorrow for Grinnell, where Miss Louise will represent the

After a sickness of a few days the infant child of Mrs. Maggie
Westlund died of pneumonia, aged nine months. Mrs. Westlund
surely has the sympathy of the entire city in her affliction, as
it has only been six weeks since she followed the remains of her
husband to his last resting place. The funeral ceremonies were
held at the Doud residence by Rev. Nash, of Denison, last
Thursday afternoon at three o'clock.
Bill Kinney and wife who spent their honeymoon in the Carroll
County jail were discharged by the Sac county grand jury and they
are now at Odebolt free as these April winds.
