THE PASSION PLAY.
To Be Presented in Moving Pic.
lures on Feb. 10th.

Prof. J. H, Scherer of Lacrosse.
managing the original Oberammer-
gan Passion Play Co., was in the
city for a few hours last Tuesday
afternoon and while here made ar
engagements with St. Catharine S
church for the presentation OF the
Passion play OF his company in this
city under the auspices of that
church on the evening of Monday.
Feb. Goth.
The Passion play, as presented
by this company under the super
vision Of Prof. Jacob Willig, who is
the principal lecturer, consists OF
about 100 pictures taken at the time
that the last great play was pre-
sented at Oberammergua, Bavaria,
Germany, during the year 1890.
Prof. Lewis was the artist to take
the figures into the shape of moving
pictures, and it is said the pictures
must be seen in order to realize
their great perfection and grandeur,
as well as that OF the play.
The entertainment opens with a
picture Of the little hamlet of Ober-
ammergua, and Of a cross erected
by King Ludwig of Bavaria at that
place in memory Of the people who
have made the Passion play famous
in each decade Then comes in the
neighborhood Of 20 pictures on the
nativity and youth Of Jesus, FIVE Of
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-02-21

which are moving pictures, show
ing the moving production Of the
play at Oberammergan. The next
section consists of about 40 pictures
on the public life OF Jesus. OF the
number nine are moving pictures.
They include His baptism, the be-
heading Of John the Baptist, the
tempting of Jesus by the devil,
Jesus feeding the multitude, the
TRANSPORTATION, healing the sick,
the raising of Lazarus and Jesus
entry into Jerusalem. OF the sta
Etionary pictures of this section
there are such as Jesus cleansing
the Sanhedrim, the sermon on the
Mount, and many other interesting
events of that week.
The third section includes the
Passion and death of Jesus. There
are five moving pictures in this
group. They are Jesus before the
High Priests, Jesus before Herod,
Jesus before Pilot, Jesus carrying
cross and scene at the cruciixion.
The stationary pictures will show
the Last Supper, Judas Betrayal
and the placing of the body in the
Tomb. The fourth section includes
the glorious life of Jesus. There
are only five pictures in this section
two of which are moving pictures,
one being the Resurrection and the
second the Ascension, two pictures
which must of themselves attract
interest. The stationary pictures
will show the meeting of Jesus and
Mary Magdalene, the journey to
Emmaus and Christ's charge to
Peter.
Fifteen or 20 other pictures will
be presented at the conclusion of
the presentation of the Passion
play, all of them being biblical in
character. That the entertainment
will be we'll patronized is assured
and ticket buyers should secure
their seats early.

CHASED BY \ Cow.
attorney Howard and Student
Buxton Furnish Some Fun.

ard and Charles G. Buxton are liv-
ing and both have been busy ex-
planning to their wives and friends
what a narrow escape they had
from being thrown off this mortal
coil. And while they are telling
these tales Joseph Tyson is telling
that while both Messrs. Howard
aud Buxton made brave stands in
''True Blue they didn't show any
great amount OF braveryi in standing
before an enraged Polled Aberdeen
Angus COW.
It happened in about this way.
First, as stated in last weeks GA
zETTE, the Torrens brothers pur-
chased a couple of calves and COW
from the Glendale herd. Mr.. Tyson
didn'l want the Torrens to take the
COW, telling them that she was a
wild animal, but they insisted, and
it being the only female that the
Glendale proprietors would sell,
the Torrens brothers secured her.
Shipment was due to be made on
Tuesday evening Of last week The
two calves with the COW we're beng
led to the cars just as the afternoon
Northwestern pulled in. Mr. How
ara was on the train coming in from
Sleepy Eye-Mr. Buxton ditto, COM
ing in from Morgan. They alight-
ed and started to walk down town.
They had just reached the crossing
at Lincoln and Railroad street, when
the COW, being led, made start for
the young man leading her. He
ducked and the COW halted All OF
a sudden she spied Messrs. How
ard and Buxton, and in less time
than it takes to tell it, the COW
leaped into the air and with a terri
fic roar started for the attorney and
the law student The legal combi-
nation took in the situation at once,
but not before the COW had got close
to Mr.. Buxton, who in his attempt
to get away stumbled and fell The
COW got her bloody nose on one OF
his trouser legs, and after smear
ing it we'll with blood, concluded
that he was not what she wanted to
bunt and started for Mr.. Howard,
who was running like the very
dickens to avoid any rear end col
lision. Buxton picked himself up,
ran to tree about six inches in
diameter, near by, and climbed it,
and while thus safe from another
attack of the COW, he watched the
animal chasing the attorney down
Railroad street The latter, by
several wrenches and turns, kept
the animal away from him until the
owners. assisted by Mr.. Tyson and
other help from Glendale could
come to his rescue and capture the
animal. which was shortly after
wards placed in the car securely
tied.
Mr.. Tyson congratulated Attor-
ney Howard on his running quail
ties and insisted that Mr.. Buxton
had made higher jumps in this
chase than he did on the night of
"True Blue, > Mr., Buxton came
down out of the tree and extended
congratulations to Mr.. Howard,
who. pulling. like an artillery horse
in action, had some difficulty in ap-
preciating the surroundings that
sent him running down street like
a jack rabbit with a couple of hounds
in the chase.
