Ruble Case. Many notable civil cases have been tried in this
863

county, but to make special reference to them would immediately be considered discriminating. The fact is, that owing to the central location of Albert Lea, and exceptional railroad and business oportunities in the city since the settlement of the county, Freeborn county has been the field for a great deal of important litigation, and on several occasions in recent years the number of days of court held in a single year in this county has equalled, and in some years exceeded, the aggregate number of days of court held in the other three counties of the district. We feel not only justified, however, but consider it a part of our duty to briefly refer to the case of George S. Ruble against Freeborn county, which was tried and finally disposed of in the month of August, 1883. This case was important in all of its features and directly concerned every inhabitant of the county for the simple reason that it challenged and brought in question the title of the county to "Court Square," where the county buildings, consisting of the jail, sheriff's residence and the court house, were then situated. The town site of Albert Lea was located and platted before the county seat was definitely located. George S. Ruble was one of the original town site proprietors and owned all the land embraced in the town site east of Broad- way street, and platted it into blocks and lots, except "Court Square," and the streets and alleys designated on the plat which was made by C. C. Colby, engineer, and filed at Mantorville, where such records were then required to be kept. "Court Square" was clearly designated on the plat. This was in 1856, and there- after the county built a jail and sheriff's residence and court house on the property, and continued to use it for county pur- poses. In 1881 George S. Ruble challenged the title and brought suit to recover court square from the county, claiming that the county had never purchased the property and that he had never dedicated it to the county. This suit was brought by Sherman Page, formerly judge of the district court, as attorney for Mr. Ruble, but shortly after the commencement of the suit Mr. Page gave up the practice of law and moved to Pasadena, Calif., and James H. Parker, of Albert Lea, and William Ely Bramhall, of St. Paul, conducted the case for Mr. Ruble. The interests of the county were in the hands of John A. Lovely, county attorney, and his law partner, D. F. Morgan. Judge Farmer, of this district, invited Hon. Thomas Buckman of Faribault to preside at the trial and the case was tried before him and a decision rendered in favor of the county confirming the title in the county and forever setting at rest any adverse claims. The title of the county rested upon the dedication by Ruble as evidenced by his plat and by his oral statements from time to time, which were

In this chapter have been included several articles received too late for publication in the body of this history, but worthy of preservation in this volume.
SYNOD CONGREGATIONS.
Trondhjem, Moscow, Oakland and Hayward Congregations. The Rev. O. O. Amdalsrud, of Hayward, is in charge of four con- gregations of the Norwegian Lutheran Evangelical Church. The Hayward Congregation, which was organized Friday, January 14, 1876, by Rev. Einar Wulfsberg, has 233 members. Its history, written by J. J. Hove, appears in the body of this work. Among the charter members of this church may be mentioned : Endre Gulbrandson, Peter Lunde, Ole Anderson, Engebrit H. Knatvold, Lars Lunde and V. Gulbrandson. Endre Gulbrandson, one of the pioneers of this church, was instrumental in securing the site for the cemetery so beautifully located at Hayward, the land being donated by the late Augustus Armstrong. The following articles are prepared by the pastor.
The Oakland Congregation was organized Feburary 15, 1876, by Rev. E. Wulfsburg. The charter officers were John Bell, Sr., Jens Natvig and Andrew Lerum, trustees; Gunder O. Gunder- son, secretary. Among those who may be mentioned as promi- nent in the church in the early days are : Rognald Knutson, Ole J. Winjum, Lars Esse, Peder Tufte, Ole Ofstun, Roland Tisdal, James W. Johnson, H. K. Fodness and Ole O. Wangen. The church edifice; located at the northwest corner of the town- ship of Oakland, was erected in 1896, and dedicated August 20 of the same year by the Rev. Dr. Ylvisaker.
The Moscow Congregation was organized March 17, 1887. Prominent in the work in that section were B. J. Stoa, Elling Soli, O. P. Lunde and G. Gullickson. Moscow church was built in 1910, and dedicated June 28, in that same year, by the Rt. Rev. O. P. Vangsness.
Trondhjem Congregation, whose church is located at the south- east corner of the town of Oakland, is small in numbers, but has a fine church building erected ten years ago and dedicated by the Rev. O. H. Smeby, of Albert Lea. This, with the Hayward, Oakland and Moscow congregations, constitute the Hayward- Oakland call, the first minister of which was the Rev. Einar

Wulfsburg, who was succeeded by the Rev. O. H. Smeby, of Albert Lea. He served the congregation from Albert Lea until the fall of 1895, when the Rev. T. O. Tolo, now at Belgrade, Minn., was called and installed. Rev. Tolo was the first resident minister at Hayward. A fine parsonage was erected in Hayward in 1896. Rev. Tolo served the congregations until the fall of 1899 and was succeeded by Rev. Ewind Skabo, who for seven years had been a missionary among the Mormons in Utah. At the death of Rev. Skabo the charge passed to the late minister's chaplain, Rev. Odm. Olof Amalsrud.
Rev. Odm. Olof Amdalsrud was born in Norway in 1859, and attended the schools of the city of Tromso. In 1890 he was sent by the Mission Society at Bergen, Norway, to New York City, to assist the Seamen's minister in his work for the spiritual welfare of the Scandinavian sailors in that port. In 1899 he was sent to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as a minister to Scandinavian seamen in that port. He worked there three years and was then called to go to South Africa to look after the spiritual welfare of the sailors in Cape Town and Port Natal. Poor health com- pelled him to return to America in the fall of 1902. Since 1905 he has been located at Hayward, Minn., and has charge of the Trondhjem, Moscow, Hayward and Oakland congregations.
