roads owing to the high winds some Of the days

company on Wednesday. TO prevent the spreading of
fire in BaiIey's woods south of Kngsbricgc. Another
forest fro sprcad over considerable tract Thurs
day. The fires caused damage TO the trees
and to some hay and wood, but buildings were de-
stroyed The railroad officials apparently take few
precautions against these fires, which in some years
have caused considerable damage.
The renewed application for the granting of a
franchise for the suburban surface road meets with
approval by some Of the residents Of the Twenty third
Ward, and with strong opposition from others. The
upper wards are in great need Of better means Of
transportation. especially across town. Jerome-ave.,
however, is the only driving road of its kind in the city

Our vicinity was thrown into great
excitement Wednesday evening by tho
report that Cassius FTazier, the ii
year old son Of John Frazier, had been
drowned. The boy had been to get
the cattle from the herd, and while
waiting for the herd to come he, with
his cousin George, were bathing and
playing in q place that hsd been dug
out for the cattle to drink from, about
four feet deep. Cassius uDdressed
and was wsding around in it, and in
some way got in too deep. His cousin,
who was unable to swim, could do
nothing but run for his fsther, who
took q horse and hurried to the scene.
He went into the water and found the
body lying in the bottom, and had it
taken to the house of Mr.. Adam Alex
ander, where it laid until moved to the
cemetery. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Bates, of Delhi, in
very appropriate manner. The
school children sang that beautiful
hymn, "Sufer the children to come
unto Me-" The remains were taken
to the Echo cemetery, followed by q
large procession. Mr.. and Mrs. Frazier
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their sad affection.
Yesterday was the elosine day of on,
school. 1t would not take a very close
observer to see that all felt gloomy
and sad, and that the tear-stained
cheeks were caused by some sad event
We noticed one vacant seat, with it,
dosk draped in mourning and covered
with flowers. It was the desk of the
departed Cassius, who was loved by
all his schoolmates. The teacher, Miss
Corda johnson, has acquitted herself
very satisfactorily to parents and Wis
itors. She is loved and esteemed by
all of her school, and ranks A No. 1,
among Redwood county teachers.

considerable speculation has been
INDUCED in as to the probable occu-
pant Of the new brick store erected by
Messrs. w. s. Mckay, Geo. L. Evans,
and Emil Kuenzli, sdjoining that erect
ed by E. Schmahl, ON Washington st
The Gazette is happy to announce tbs
sequel. Mr.. H. F. Buechner some time
ago quietly leased the store in advance
of its erection. and now that he expects
to occupy it about the 18th inst, has no
objection to making his intentio ms
known to the public.
As the new store has been adapted
especially for his use, Mr.. Buechner is
bound to have it a model grocery stand.
A handsome plate-glass front, fitted
into white brick laid in black mortar,
will make the entrance attractive and
unique. Inside the shelving, count
ers, show cases, and other fixtures will
be new and of the very best, and down
stairs capacious basement the full
size of the store will furnish plenty of
storage room. As to the stock, that
will be as heretofore, the best the mar
ket affords.
Mr.. Buechner has but recently in
stalled his mother and family in his
new house west of town, and has taken
a long lease of his new store, which
shows he is "stsyer," and is making
. success of his business.

More thsn . yesr sgo The Gasstts
announced that tho Odd Fellows Of
this city hsd under consideration the
building Of q hall for their own use on
the corner opposite Masonic Block.
The fraternity made proposition to
L. Truesden, the owner of the proper
ty, to complete the upper story Of q
suitable brick block upon certain con-
ditions, but Mr.. Truesdell did not see
the way clear to putting in the lower
story, and the plan was given up. We
are pleased to announce that the plan
for building has been revived in a diff
ferent shape the past few weeks, with
the result that the building of hand
some block almost q duplicate of the
present Masonic Hall block, is def
nitely assured. The new building will
join the Masonic Block on the north,
and will be $3.50 feet in dimensions,
constructed of solid brick, the archi-
tectural design and workmanship to
be uniform with the adjoining block,
which is a guaranty that it will rank
as one of the best constructed build
ings in the city, and whom completed,
the joint buildings will form the larg-
est solid brick structure in Redwood
Falls. The lower Aoor will be occ,,-
pied by two stores, Q long lease of
both premises having been secured in
advance. 1t is our duty as q faithful
chronicler, in this connection, to con-
graduate Mr.. G. E. Mckay, rs we'll
as the Odd Fellows, upon their enter
prise. Mr.. Mckay has worked almost
unaided to secure the erection of this
block, and will furnish the capital Ne
cessary to erect the lower half OF it.
Every citizen who admires pluck is
bound to commend Mr.. McKay's en-
terprise in the face of encouragement
in securing the erection of the largest,
if not the handsomest, block in the
town on his Mill street property. That
the Odd Fellows are numerous enough
and wealthy enough to afford q home
of their own is not surprising, but their
determination to make it equal to the
best In the place entities the members
of the fraternity to tho kind regards
of citizens of all conditions. With
Masons and Odd Fellows arm-in-arm
together as they soon will be in their
headquarters, it would seem highly
appropriate to call tho united build
ings "Fraternity Block"

Mary Fish was born at Cornwall
England, May 3Oth, 1925; and died at
her home in Redwood FALL, June 18th
1880. She was married to her now
bereaved husband, in England, Oct
LIST, lS49. In 1866 they moved to this
country, and in 1859 came to Red
wood Falls, where they have since re-
sided.
Mrs. Fish was the mother of eight
children, seven Of whom are still living.
For more than three years she has
been helpless invalid, tho result of a
paralytic stroke. At times she has been
. great sufferer, yet bore it all patient
ly without murmuring or complaining.
During all her sickness, her husband
has been her constant attendant. Her
funeral, which was unusually large,
was held Sunday afternoon at the
Methodist church, of which she had
been . member for many years. Her
many friends had attested their sympa-
thy and regards in many beautiful
floral tributes.

sincere thanks to our neighboes and

Locking the stable door after the
horse Is stolen il not considered the
highest wisdom, but it is sometimes
the best thing that can be done. 1t is
difficult to fix the responsibility for
the shameful violation of the law wit
messed in this place last Wednesday,
and it may as well be confessed that
every citizen who saw this lawlessness
without making an effort to stop it,
was in some degree responsible. One
determined and resolute man could
have had this gambling stopped at its
inception. but unfortunately the man
and the hour did not come in conjunc-
ton until the robbers had done their
work pretty thoroughly. OF course the
village ordinances make these gambl-
ling schemes an offence as clearly as
any other form of theft, but the people
were completely COMPOUNDED by the
GOODNESS and "nerve" of the law-break-
ers. As the St. Peter Herald says of
similar scenes at that place the day
before.
Officers stood aghast and were
petrified by the boldness of the VIC
lators who sold soap at $40 an inch
to the poor suckers who had more
money than brains. Young boys of
this city were broken in as cappers
and stool pigeons, and made parties
to the crime. The city ought to blush
and blush bard. Never let it occur
again"
Which is just what we should
insist upon here. Let citizens, coun-
Gil and police make sure hereafter that
such shameless law-breaking as this
shall be as s,mmarily dealt with as is
the poor devil who steals q pair of
shoes or even q horse either of these
last stands away above the snide game
swindler in the scale of morals. Nor
should the dupe in these transactions
be neglected. In section of chapter
6 Of our village ordinances it is pre-
scribed that ANY person who shall bet
on any game others may be playing,
shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined
not less than five nor more than fifty
dollars for each offense, with costs of
prosecution" A vigorous enforcement
of this clause, as well as the rest of the
law, will prevent future repetition of
anything like last Wednesdays exper-
fence. However highly the Wallace
show may rank, unless the manage
ment bounoes its disreputable gang, it
ought to be held up to public repro
baton as an sccomplice of tho swind-
lers. It would not Be improper for our
council 1t it's next meeting to take
steps for apprixing the sut6osities Of
other towns Of this unadvsrt;ssd Seat4
