•A native of Iceland, the very mention of whose name sends cold shivers coursing down the spines of most persons, experienced her most miserable winter right here in Minnesota, although the Arctic Circle skirts the northern tip of Iceland.
She is 17-year old Miss Stafania Bjarnason, who is a guest this week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Sovereign, of this city. She arrived Saturday evening from Minneapolis in company with Miss June Sovereign, both being students at the University of Minnesota. …
“We have no Eskimos, no polar bears nor extremely cold weather as most people seem to think,” Miss Bjarnason remarked. “In fact,” she said, “I’ve never experienced a more miserable winter than this one in Minnesota.”

Entrance was gained through a small window in the front of the basement, by way of a trap door and the thief made his exit through the rear door of the restaurant.
From the cash register $8 in small change was secured and the thief then showed a marked preference for a brand of 10-cent cigars and Prince Albert smoking tobacco. So far as known nothing else was taken, and the valuation of the “swag” is supposed to approximate $12. The first intimation that the place had been robbed was secured early Friday morning when E.R.
