The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1894-10-25

The brass quartette will render a
selection at the social Friday evening.
Some nice buckwheat -four and
pure maple syrup at H. G. Ackman's.
Don't forget the special sale of
clothing and single pants at G. A,
Francois & Co.'S next Monday.
Work on the new jail is progressing
rapidly. The foundation is ready to
receive the brick.
The first material for the new coun-
ty jail arrived over the Northwestern
last Friday morning.
Again we are in the market for
fresh compressed yeast received twice
q week by H. G. Ackmann. 9-4t
A. Van HEmert and..a Mr.. Nelson,
two of the owners of the gold mine
just north of town, arrived from Min
neapolis over the St. Louis last Mon
day, and at once left for the mines.
Before their departure they we're seen
by a GAZETTE reporter and Mr.. Van
HEmert stated emphatically that
work at the mine would now be pushed
increasingly. A company with cap
ital stock of $4,000 has been incor-
porated. Lumber is en- route for
Delhi and Alfred Edlund, the pros
pector, is to arrive this week, and to-
gether with Van HEmert, push the
work. The Ericksons, Van HEmert
said, would remain in Minneapolis to
manage the affairs of the new COM
pany in that city. The machinery too,
he said, would be soon here, and the
rumors regarding it would become a
reality.
A decision bearing on the Chief of
Police trouble between Mayor Bell
and Chief Crooks was rendered by
the South Dakota Supreme Court last
week, and the decision, if it was fol-
lowed up by our Supreme Court would
sustain the Mayor. The facts are
identically the same, and the Sioux
Falls special relative to the decision,
says: A telegram was received here
to-day stating that the Supreme Court
had reversed the decision of Judge
Jones in the Chief of Police Dickson
case, and held that the Chief could
not draw pay after the Mayor dis
charged him. Last May Mayor Will
liams discharged Dickson from the
force because he had worked against
his election. The council would not
have it this way, and the chief contin-
ued to work and the council ordered
his salary paid. Mayor Williams re-
fused to sign the warrants,and man
damus was procured. On the hearing
Judge Jones decided that The war
rants should be signed by the mayor,
but the Supreme Court decides other
wise.
Alvina Schultz, aged IA years, and
residing with her parents seven miles
west of this city, was accidentally shot
by Adolph OFT, shortly after eight
o'clock last Thursday evening. Young
OFT and brother of Miss Schultz we're
watching granary of wheat west OF
the Schultz farm, and we're about to
leave the Schultz residence for the
granary, where they have been sleep
ing for some time past. OFT picked
up his 22-caliber revolver from the
table, and in doing so, caught the
trigger in such manner as to explode
the cartridge. The ball struck Miss
Schultz in the mouth, passing along
between the teeth and flesh, and lodg
ing just above the right ear. Miss
Schultz was chewing gum at the time
and it appears that the ball struck be-
just as her mouth opened to give thu
gum good squeeze. DR.. Gibson wa!
called for, and soon ascertained tina
the wound was not dangerous. The
parents of the girl we're visiting in The
southern part Of the State when the
accident occurred.
A Redwood special to the Mime
apolis Journal of last Saturday states
that Frank L. Carpenter, a painter
of this city, has broken arm, James
Barney, hostler, is nursing knife
wounds about the face and hands
while Mrs. Carpenter is bathed ir
tears, all resulting from collision be-
tween the two men. Last Monday
night, Carpenter came home and
