~—Gov. A. G. Sorlie, of North Da-
kota died here this morning.

Death was caused by heart

disease from which the governor
has been critically ill for the past
three days.

Arthur Gustav Sorlie was born
April 26, 1874 near Alberta Lea,
Minn. His parents were Iver and
Mary Sorlie, natives of Norway.
When he was 19 years old he
came to North Dakota where he
worked in a bank, operated § a
general store and later became a
traveling salesman.

In 1907 he entered the fuel,
seed and feed business at Grand
Forks as A. G. Sorlie and com-
pany. The enterprise was success-
ful and was the basis for a con-
siderable fortune which he late
accumulated in other business
endeavors.

Despite his extensive interests.
the non-partisan league selected
him as its standard bearer in
(1924 and he won the = guberna
| torial election after a hot fight
with R. A. Nestos, the republican
incumbent. He was reelected in
| 1926, but did not seek renomina-
‘tion this year, saying that he de-
sired to retire to private life at
‘the end of his term.
