turning out of fine job and book print Z
ing and is better equipped for all kinds
of printing than any Office in South
western Minnesota.
The Redwood Falls Clippers, Capt.
Jas. OHara, are securing uniforms to
wear during the coming base ball sea-
son. The boys have large amount
of grit and expect to display it fire.
quently with good ball playing during
the present summer.
The reading and entertainment to
be given by Miss Mae Henderson,
teacher of elocution in the school at
Excelsior, in this city May 23d, under
the auspices of the Y. P. S. G. E. of
the Christian Church, will be given at
the church. Miss Henderson contin-
ues to be indorsed in fatteripg man
ner as an e!ocutionist.
A large number of the old soldiers
and wives from this city and surround
ing country will participate in the en-
campment to be held in New Ulm
next month. 1t is probable that Red
wood Falls will be designated as the
place for the encampment of 1897,
and business men here should take
sufficient interest in the encampment
to hold out the proper encouragement.
Court came to a close Saturday
noon, when Judge Weber and Steno-
grapher Eckstein left for their homes
in New Ulm, after two weeks siege !.
with lawyers. Judge Weber left no
impression as to whether or not he
would hold special term in this coun-
ty. 1t is probable that before long he
will hold months term in each coun-
ty in this district twice a year, except
Lincoln, where he will only hold a
term once a year. This will probably
give him more time to consider what
are termed court cases.
Wenzell Krell, indicted for selling
liquor without license at North Red
wood. was given trial on the indict-
ment last Friday morning.
Chadderdon & Stuart appeared for
Krell. It only took about ten min
utes to get the jury, and about an
hour to get in all the evidence. Sew
eral witnesses testified that they
called for beef tea, etc., but admitted
that the tea looked much and tasted
much like lager beer. The jury re-
turned verdict of guilty after dinner
and on Saturday morning Judge Web
Der sentenced Krell to the county jail
for 80 days and pay fine of $50 and
costs, amounting to 5000, in default
of which he is to stand commitment
in the Jail for sixty days longer.
