COUNTY FHIR NEXT WEEK.

ty Farmers.
Racing and Base Ball Attractions
Speaking on Farm
Subjects.

The twenty-Iourth annual fair OF the
Redwood County Agricultural society
will be held at the society's grounds
in this city on Sept. %, %, "a, or We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday of next
week, and unless the present rainy
weather continues the fair will prob
ably be one of the best in the history
of the organization.
The different buildings on the
grounds have all been repaired and
placed in excellent condition, and agri-
cultural and floral hall will be more
convenient than ever. The premiums
pertaining to the articles that are to
be on exhibition in these two buildings
are nearly all new, and all of them are
within the range of competition by the
ladies and children of Redwood coun-
ty, or the grain producers of the
county. AS a result there will be
many new articles on exhibition and
competing for as large premiums as
there are offered in this section of the
State.
The stock stables and sheep and
hog pens are also ready for prize stock,
while the stables for the racing horses
have been kept in excellent condition
all the year around by Harry Mather,
who has been driving local horses,
and keeping them at the stables SO as
to be in close proximity to the track.
The latter never was in better condi-
ton than it is this year, on account of
it having been kept up by Mr.. Mather,
who has not allowed weeds or grass
to grow on it, and who has removed
all dangerous small stones that have
been pressed to the surface.
No entries for the races had been
received by Secretary Dornberg up to
the time of going to press yesterday.
This fact is not new, because, as has
been the case in all previous years,
horsemen have preferred to wait until
the last day before making their en-
tries, preference made by reason of
a desire not to allow other horsemen
to know what particular horses are to
compete for purses. In case the races
are not all filled the money will be ex-
pended for some other attractions.
Chas. Luscher of the local base ball
club has been corresponding with a
number of outside clubs with a view
to having them contest with the local
club on the Redwood diamond during
the last two days of the fair, but up to
date nothing has been heard from any
of these organizations. Pitcher Muir
fin of Sleepy Eye, has been retained to
pitch for the locals. Mr.. Lusche1
states that there will be one or more
games during the fair, even if it be-
comes necessary to pay Western OF
National League team to come to
Redwood Falls, and he feels as though
the locals would have no reason to
fear the tail enders of either.
Secretary Dornberg has been cor
responding with the State University
regents with view to having one OF
more speakers on larm subjects from
the experimental station appear here
and deliver addresses during the fair
The matter, however, is still in an EN-.
bryo shape, and consequently nothing
definite can be announced.

SOLDIERS SHOOT STRIKERS.

Serious Trouble at Hakes' Mine at Rut-
land-Misery of the Miners.
The trouble originated in dispute
ever a broken scale beam which L.
Hakes, the mine owner, failed to have
repaired until lately. The scales were
tested by the mine inspector for this
district and found to be 440 pounds out
of balance. The miners want to be paid
G1% cents a ton, mine run, and Hakes
wants to pay so cents for coal screened
ever diamond screen. The men struck.
Friday the miners demanded their pay
arrears. Failing to get their money
400 men assembled at the shaft and
attempted to set fire to the mine build
ings. Then the shooting took place.
A conference was held FRIDAY after
noon. at which Mr.. Hakes agreed to pay
the miners what is due them January
IS, but an earlier settlement will be in
sisted on. The whole town is in misery
and want. The people depend on the
mines for support, and since the strike
the storekeepers have left town or
closed up their places of business. The
miners of La Sale, Streator and Spring
Valley have passed resolutions of sum
rathy and sent money and food to the
striking miners. Late reports are to
the effect that an effort is being made

FOUGHT IN THE DARK.
Desperate Encounter at a Christening
One Man Dead.

Ono MAN DEAD.
Scranton, Pa, Jan. "a Hungarian
christening at Mayfeld, this county,
Thursday had the usual bloody ending
which attends these festivals, for as the
result OF the fight with knives enc man
is dead, two are dying and five others
are badly carved. Strong liquor flowed
freely at the christening, and soon
many of the men were mad with drink.
Seven of the participants in the feast
went to the house of Lucetz Krutchas.
Krutchas soon had to resent an insult
to his wife, and then the knives flashed
out. Mrs. Krutchas dashed out the
light and fed from the room. A fear
full fight followed in the dark. The
drink-maddened men cut and stabbed
each other and rolled together upon the
floor in deadly grapple. Finally con-
stable and posse broke into the house,
and when light was had a CHASTITY
picture was presented.
The furniture was battered and
broken and blood was everywhere, and
stretched on the floor were eight ap-
parently dead and dying men, groaning
and cursing. A physician was hastily
summoned. Krutchas was SO terribly
cut that he died in short while. The
injuries of the other men show the
savage nature of the fight. Peter Guy
was cut over the heart, left hand sew
cred at the wrist, will die; Wazyl Zubal.
stabbed in the back, lung pierced and
chunk of flesh cut from shoulder, will
probably die; John TGrpakone, ear cut
off and numerous slashes on shoulder
slashed; John hester, face, head and
breast badly cut; Michael Oleaniz.
stabbed in the face and back; Andrew
Telep, stabs and nose broken. These
men are under guard in the hospital
and an investigation of the affair is
being held.

day from Cuba and soon afterward left

the issues of the Cuban war. He, how

solicitation of personal colleagues: that
he was an agent of the junta: that he
was sent out of the country, or that he
was at any time in danger of being put
