The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1894-05-17

How do youdo7 Yes sir. always read The
GAZETTE.
Joseph Scharles was born in Weiden,
Operfalz, Germany, on Sept. 4, 1871,
residing there for 16 years, spending
those years in attending school. In
1887 he came to this country alone,
landing at Baltimore, and coming to
Chicago, where he remained for a
short time, and then came to Winona,
where he served an apprenticeship in
a tailor shop for year. From there
he went to Redfield, Sd, and worked
three years in tailor shop at that
place. Leaving Redfield, he went to
Chicago, where he completed his ap-
premiership in cutting and fitting in
a school for that purpose. Later he
went to Chillicothe, ILL.,, and travelled
until 1892, when he came to New Ulm
and opened shop in that city, but
not finding business very profitable at
that point he moved to Fairfax, where
he opened shop and did good
business. He came to Redwood Falls
a little oyer a year ago, and has en-
joyed good business sunshine ever
since the change. Mr.. Scharles is un-
married, fact which he attributes in
measure, to his extreme bashfulness
as we'll as to his youth.

WANTS TO ORGANIZE.
". A. StoWe1l Suggests a Stock
Company for MINING Purposes.

w. A. Stowell, of Minneapolis, met
with the business men of Redwood
Falls in the opera house last Satur-
day evening with view to organizing
a stock company for the purpose of
carrying on the mining of Goa, Ignite,
kaolin, paint, etc., in this neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Stowell explained his po-
sition carefully, evidently not conceal
ing anything yet discovered by the
prospectors and miners at work on
the Peabody farm, but the meeting
did not take any definite shape.
Mr.. Stowell is certain that the pres
ent six feet and four inch vein of lig-
mite will develop into good fuel before
the miners get in 80 feet, and if the
vein dips downward at that time good
coal will be found beneath it. He is
so informed by the biologists and as
sayers, and particularly the prospect
or Edlund.
"You have hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of mineral paint here"
continued Mr.. Stowell. "There will
be good money in developing those
mines. You have clay here resembl-
ing sand, which our assayer informs
us will make the finest kind of china
ware, there being but one place in the
United States which has anything like
it, and that is in California, and the
material is not as good. Still further,
our prospector, Mr.. Edlund, while
querying on the peculiarly Of GER
tain formation right here in your city,
ran the point of his umbrella into a
pocket of silver, which he gathered
up, took to the assayer, and was in
formed that if he could find the vein
the community would be rich in
metal"
MIR. Stowell desires to get local bus
mess men interested at once, and then
he will move his family here. He has
arrangements perfected whereby the
money can be secured to carry on the
mining, and says that several Mime
apolis men will be here in a few days
with view to taking stock in the Gu
terprise.

FISH FOR THE REDWOOD.
SO, 900 Wall-Eyed Pike and Bass
to be Planted.

w. P. Andrus, of Minneapolis,treas-
urer of, the State Board Of Fish and
Game Commissioners, was in the city
last Wednesday and Thursday max
ing arrangements to plant $4,000 wall
eyed pike and large number of bass
in the Redwood river some time dur
ing the next two weeks, The applica-
ton for these fish was made some nine
months ago by Postmaster Dallas E.
Laird and J. A. Schmahl, who also re-
quested that German carp and trout
be planted in this stream, but the COM
mission has concluded that the latter
species would not thrive in the Red
wood river.
It appears that several weeks since,
several farmers residing along the up
per Redwood river made complaint
to the Board that the dams and falls
at this place INSTRUCTED the fish from
running up the river, and in a great
measure retarded them from spawn
ing. Mr.. Andrus' second object here
was to request the owners of the mill
dams and the falls to put in fishways,
the notices being served on Birum u
Anderson, A. G. Burmeister and Beck
or Bros, and WE. Baker to construct
the fishways as soon as possible. The
ways are covered device, extending
from the head of the dam to the river
below on slant heavy enough to al
low the fish to climb up. The interior
is arranged with rests in the shape OF
the letter L, around which the fish
pass and rest at random until they
reach the top of the dam OF the fall,
when they pass out on either side.
Parties are not allowed to fish or spear
within 400 feet of the fishway.
Mr.. Andrus states that the main
reason for the fish being SO scarce in
the Redwood river is that they have
been unable to pass over the dams
and falls and get up toward the source
for the purpose Of spawning. A trout
or bass will jump eight feet over a
dam, while pike and pickerel is only
good from four to six feet. He says
that the fish he proposes to send here
next week will be three years in ma
turing, at which time they will COM
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1894-05-17

mence to spawn, and should keep the
people here pretty we'll supplied with
that class of food. The bass will prob
ably not be sent until next year, ow-
ing to there not being enough to sup
ply the demand already made. The
latter will be planted in the river be-
low the falls, while the wall-eyed pike
will be placed in the river above the
Delhi Roller Mills dam.
Mr.. Andrus states that the commits
sion, through its wardens, were MAX
ing a large number of arrests of per-
sons caught fishing with nets and dy-
Mantle, and they were being vigorous
ly prosecuted. He further stated that
the board could not expect to punish
all of the violators as the appropria-
ton for the purpose was too small.
He thinks that seine fishing along the
Minnesota has prevented large num-
Der of fish from getting into the Red
wood river.
He made survey of the Redwood
river Wednesday evening, and is con-
fident that fish will proceed up the
same for distance of three miles be-
fore spawning.

WHERE HE COULD SELL.

He was queer farmer, the hero of
this tale. A tall fellow, too. His sole
object was the destruction of the local
business interests. He had no adm ira
ton for his nearest town. He patron
lied Montgomery Ward & Co., Chica-
go, for all that he ate and wore. Some
times he received good goods, but
most of the time he didn't, but he
didn't know it. It appears that the
business men of the town for once
agreed on a point, and that was not to
accept his produce on any conditions.
The farmer brought in lot of eggs
one dav. He ran from store to store,
but there was no sale. Finally he can
vassed real estate and other offices.
Failing, at last, to secure purchaser
for his produce, he asked:
"Why in HI wont any one buy
these eggs? They're fresh"
There was no answer from the group
of half dozen by-standers. The fell
low passed out, got half a block away,
when voice from one OF the crowd
called him back.
II know where you can sell them"
"Where," was the quick and eager
reply.
Montgomery, Ward & Co., Chi

the verdict. There could have been but one
purpose and one design in getting this before
the jury,viz: To prejuice the jury and to
permit the council for the state to argue to
the jury, that the defendant should be con-
victed of perjury because he had been guilty
of forgery, which he did very successfully.
With all due regard for the court below, for
whom we entertain great respect, we can
only characterize it as outrageous, not SIM
ply erroneous. The evidence was of course
lmmaterial to the issue in this case, and it is
an almost universal rule, that immaterial
and incompetent evidence that might have
been prejudicial to the rights of the defend
ant, even in a civil action, is ground for a
new trial How much more in case of this
character. There can be no possibilities in
the case at bar. 1t is an absolute certainty.
Lest the court in reading the memoranda of
the court below on the motion for a new
trial, should be misled we desire to say:
This record was before the court below and
fully argued on the motion. The bond was a
part of the record, and attached to it as ex-
hibit "B' Folios 731, 1872 and 733 of the pa
per book. The court, however, in deciding
the motor, for some reason fell into an error
and found that the'bond was not. received in
evidence. Upon a stipulation that he might
correct his own mistakes, it was done Now
in view of the needless and to say the least
| careless and fnattentive manner, in which
the court below examined the questions in
this case and the record, the court below
and its conclusions are not entitled to the
| weight and consideration usually given by
this court to trial courts.
