became Judge of Probate Court in Polk County and served through 1902. In 1908 he
was elected auditor in Roseau County, but died suddenly, November 21, 1908,
before taking office.
From 1888 he contributed articles to Budstikken, Normanden, and Red River Dalen. In
1893 he established in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, the populist weekly Rodhuggeren,
editing it for the next three years. Eventually this paper merged with others to
become Fram, which he edited from 1899 to 1902. He edited Nordmanden in Grand
Forks from 1904 to 1905.
