FOES IN AMBUSH.
The Scenes Laid in Wild Arizona,
Sensational and Realistic.

Editor Bowling, of the Renville
Star Farmer, gives a brief narrative of
his trip through Arizona some two
years ago. 1t is in that territory that
the scenes of our new serial STORY,
"Foes in Ambush which will be
started about The first week in January,
is laid. The Star-Farmer editor trav-
eled through the Southern part of Ar
iona. Two years ago next January
the editor Of this paper, traversed
the entire northern portion of that ter
ritory, and it was owing to the story
being so true to Arizona from his own
knowledge that the story was pur-
chased for the GAZETTE, exclusively
for Redwood county. Editor Bowling
portrays Arizona, much as the story
will, correctly, saying:
A couple of years ago the writer

IONA. It is wonderfully barren land
with here and there spots Of fertility
that throw the entranced traveller in
to paroxysms Of delightful contempla-
ton. From the Petrifed Forests to
the magical Needles one can get q fair
idea of what is meant by the word
desert. And yet, barren as tho coun-
try is. the landscape is full Of inviting
interest to the tourist. Nowhere is ma
ture more eccentric than in Arizona.
AS paradoxical as it may seem, it is
nevertheless true, that the bafrenness
of Arizona is peculiarly and impress
sively picturesque. Forts are as num-
erous as towns. Towns are still hum
dreds of miles apart and individuals
are miles apart as a rule. The pop
ulation is thoroughly cosmopolitan.
The faro table is always the center of
a curious throng from all the nations
of the earth. "The heather Chinee"
is the most devoted lover of the art of
"coppering" the ace.

THESE ARE CANDIDATES.

The city ticket assumed an official
shape last Saturday evening, when Re
corder Gleason closed all admissions
to go onto the same, as directed by
law. The candidates for Mayor are
two in number, w. F. Dickinson. the
present mayor, who has always acted
as wisely and who has given more time
to the affairs Of municipality than any
other man probably would, and HI. N.
Bell, a highly respected business man
and old resident. Both gentlemen
reside in the second ward, the first,
however, doing banking business in
the first ward, and Mr.. Bell doing
furniture business in the second ward.
For recorder, Frank I. Gleason has
no opposition. The treasurership fight
promises to be as lively as men can
make it, as both HI. A. Baldwin and G.
Fred Thompson are active candidates.
Both have hosts of friends and good
wire-pullers that are working for their
respective candidates as though they
we're opposition candidates for the U.
S. Presidency. For Police Judge E.
M. French has no opposition, Meth
or hasW. S. Mckay for alderman from
the first ward. In the second ward,
G. G. Peck,who has been alderman for
some time, and who some time ago de-
clared that he would not be candi-
date, last Thursday announced his in
tention of again running for the Office.
This narrows the fight down to Mr..
Caswell and Mr.. Peck. Both are
hustlers and either will make good
alderman.

CHRISTMAS DOIN6s.

Saturday evening was Christmas for
the pupils of the Sunday school Of the
Presbyterian and Methodist churches.
Both churches were handsomely dec
Grated for the occasion, with evergreens,
in the Presbyterian some very artistic
work being done by the Misses Alb
bott and Knopf. A huge evergreen
bow adorned the center, with ever
green garlands winding all around
the interior of the church. Two huge
stars in front reminded one of Bethle-
hem. There were two Christmas trees,
decorated with strings of popcorn, bags
of candy, fruit, artificial snow in the
shape of cotton, and illuminated with
the omnipresent Christmas candle. At
the Methodist church there was no
tree, and the evergreens were formed
in various ornaments in the front part
of the room. In both churches the
programmes consisted of selections,
reading and musical, by the pupils,
and they all acquitted themselves
creditably some of them naturally get
ting more applause than others. All
showed good talent and gave promise
of a bright future. After the selec-
tons, the candy, fruit and popcorn
balls we're distributed among the little
and older ones, and all INDUCED in a
general good time.
At the Presbyterian church there
was special event. Charles Buxton,
whose pleasing bass singing in the
choir has delighted many, was united
to the congregation by the presenta-
ton of a ring, a beautiful jewel of
the tigers eye species. It was just af-
ter he sang a solo with all his musical
power, that Miss Charlotte Schmahl,
on behalf of the members of the
church, stepped to the choir platform,
and presented MIR. Buxton with the
ring. She made quite a little presenta-
ton speech, saying:
"Mr. Buxton Fully aware of the
important position you have occupied
in our church choir for a long time
past, and of your individual influence
in giving our choir rank among the
best in the State, the members OF the
Presbyterian church, fully determined
to have you remain in that capacity,
have decided to place on your finger
the ring of unity and harmony with
the church. May it act as the we'd
ding ring, an indissoluble tie, which
alone can be broken by the mystic
hand Of death. May it also join you
closer to the work which you have SC
nobly carried on; and, may we, as
members of the church, continue t.
say, We'll done, good and faithful ser
want And when, perchance,you gaze
upon this ornament in the dim vista
Of the future, may your thoughts b

dren. He spent the first fourteen
years of his life going to school in Ma
lone, and then went to Nicholsville,S st.
Lawrence county, where he commenced
his apprenticeship at the timers
trade. He worked there for four years
and acquired thorough knowledge
of the trade. Following the conclusion
of his four years apprenticeship he
returned to Malone, and worked in a
hardware store for two years. In 1879
he came to Redwood Falls, entering
the hardware store of w. A. Swisher,
who is we'll known among old settlers.
When that gentleman sold out to
Chandler & Rockwell Mr.. Thompson
continued to work for that firm, and
when Col. Chandler assumed entire
control of the hardware store Fred
still continued to act as the timer for
the Colonel. Upon the death of Mr..
Chandler in 1888 Mr.. Thompson con-
tinued to conduct the affairs of the
store for the estate for several months,
finally purchasing the stock, and con-
tinuing in the hardware business ever
since, moving from the old Moore
building, which has since disappeared,
to the opera house block, as soon as
the latter was completed, and doing
business there ever since. Mr.. Thomp-
son might be called an old settler of
Redwood Falls, among the young bus
mess men, and his clever treatment
of all has made him many friends.
He was married in 1884 to Miss
Libbie Pease, of Nottawa, Mich.

There are several anticipated i'm
provements for next year here in the
city, among them being the G. w.
George elevator on the spot where the
VanDusen elevator stood, the Metho-
dist church, the county jail,the French
& Houghmaster block, and the Rob
inson and Hunter building. 1t is al
most certain that the GAZETTE will al
so commence work early in the spring
on new building. The Blatz Brew
ing Co. will double the capacity of
their depot at this place, and make
this station the distributing point for
all towns west of Redwood Falls. In
short, if the stringency IN the money
market eases up there will be plenty
of building going on next year.
The output for the year 1898 of the
Delhi, Redwood and North Redwood
Roller mills, the three chief manufac-
turing industries in and around Red
wood Falls, is conservatively estimat-
ed at 10000 barrels of flour, 4,68O,OOO
pounds of bran, 100000 pounds of
shorts, and 46,8OO bushels of feed.
These figures are based on weekly re-
ports made to the GAZETTE, and are to
be increased, rather than decreased,
when the accuracy is considered. The
number of bushels of wheat received
at the various elevators and mills dur
ing the year is variously estimated
from 100000 to $4,000 bushels. This
showing is an excellent illustration of
what home industries can do in the
way of adding wealth to the commun-
ity.
