sent up for a period of three years
and three months for setting fire to
the Park Hotel barn, in which Hugh

and COWS. All of these letters ask

VIM. Smith returned from Rice
county and St. Paul last Saturday
afternoon, fully armed with the
documents to prove that he is a citi-
zen of the United States in the strict
sense of the word, and hence able
to assume the duties of mayor of
Redwood Falls, to which position he
was elected last week. It appears
that Mr.. Smith was a resident of
this State when Minnesota was a
territory, and when the territory
became State, the constitution, by
the enabling act, made him full
citizen as it did all others residing
here at that time.
In clearing up the auditors Of
flee Of his personal belongings last
Saturday, Ex-auditor Anderson
came across box of old coins that
he had been collecting for many
years In this valuable collection he
has money from nearly every land,
aside from many pieces coined by
the American government, among
them being a silver dollar which
our Populist friends claims was de-
monetized by the ''crime of 70. -
Mr.. Anderson made his speciality in
the matter of coin collection on one
cent pieces, and as a result lacks
but II of having a representation of
every cent ever coined by any gov
eminent. The collection has face
value of nearly $lS. but the real
value, as curiosity box, would be
in the hundreds Of dollars.
Six applications have been made

plat of Redwood Falls. G.. w.
Vaughn, George w. Brown, Frank
L. Peterson and Martin Lohrenz, at

permission to sell liquor at the

applications are granted the city
council will have 81, 900 more to do
business on than the same body had
last year.
