1t seems that some of the trustees of
the Red Rock association have taken
exception to the remarks of one OF the
old settlers, as published in Saturdays
GLOBE, and are anxious to state their
side of the case. K. n. Wing, one of the
directors, approached a reporter yester-
day and gave the views of the directo-
rate on what benefits had accrued since
the gates have been put up.

\ Deputy Sheriff.
The law and order loving people of
Red Rock were rather frightened yester-
day morning when Deputy Sheriff
TruaX. of Washington county, betoOk
himself to the sacred grove and arrested
John L. Watson for impersonatiDg an
officer. Watson, who is superintendent
of the grounds, was appointed special
by the directors for the purpose of pre-
serving peace, if there should ever be
need of an officer. The st, Paul Park
people, however, did not take kindly TO
this appointment, and last SUNDAY word
was sent down to the directors that the
deputy sheriff of St. Paul Park would
gladly furnish peace officers for Red
Rock for the small sum of 81 per pay
each. Somehow the campers did not APP
preciate the kindly offer of the deputy,
and seemed to be perfectly contented
with their own true and trusty knight
of the baton. Watson was taken to ST.
Paul Park, but not to prison vile. The
directors hurried to the rescue of their
unfortunate officer and showed the dep
uty the clause in,the bylaws of the arti-
Giles Of incorporation of the Red Rock
association, where authority is given
the directors to appoint peace officers.
The deputy wilted. and Watson re-
turned to his dOmicile, displaying his

There were the usual prayer meetings
and exercises generally as on former
days In the afternoon DR.. Spencer,
secretary of the board of church extern
sion. made vigorous appeal for
funds to help thes cause along.
He wished to raise ali army of 10000
soldiers, each of whom should contrib
ute SO per year to this fund. Over
5000 were already enlisted. and he
hoped to have the remainder in very
short time. DR.. Kynett also spoke, and
said he thought there were enough
Methodists in the Twin Cities to fill the
auditorium every day. and there was
no reason why the attendance should
not be good. Dr. Brassee and Mrs.
Amanda Smith led the evening serv-
ices. The latter will again speak to-
day.
The attendance was only fair yester-
day. Among the arrivals were:
Rev. Chauncy Hobart and wife, Red Wing :;
r.. /. Lawrence, Hamline; |. n. Woodruff,
Green Bay; N flasher and wife, W. A.
Noored, Minneapolis; George Burke, A. G..
