At Redwood Falls June 18th.
The road leading from this city to
North Redwood has been widened
to four rods, the city having put in a
considerable amount for labor in
widening it to the Homer town line,

assumed the burden of widening it

keeper awarded the game to the
kids, by score of 10 to 9, the kids

to town with their flags of victory
flying.
