ATHLETIC CONTEST.
School Boys Getting in Line to
Succeed the High School.

The young fellows of the Redwood
Falls schools other than those Of
the high school, held an athletic
contest at the fair grounds last
Thursday afternoon, and despite
the fact that it was exceedingly
warm the young men made some
good records. Quite a number of
the events on the programme were
postponed owing to the fact that the
boys did not have the apparatus on
the ground for going ahead with the
exercises. Eight events we're con-
tested for as follows:
l. 50-yard dash-Smith Tiffany
first by about four feet, Give Aiken
second.
2. Running high jump-Roy Smith
of st. Paul was first, jumping four
feet. three inches aud Smith Tiffany
was second, jumping three feet, ten
inches.
8. Half mile foot race-Clive Aiken
was first, winning by about from IS to
80 yards and Smith Tiffany was second.
4. Pole vault-Clive Aiken won
without opposition, his highest vault
being five feet six inches.
5. Standing hop. skip and jump
Roy Smith of ST. Paul won by less
than a half foot, Smith Tiffany being
second.
6. 100 yard dash-This was won by
Smith Tiffany on an exciting finish,
Roy Smith being second.
7. Running hop, skip and jump
This was very nearly tie between
Roy Smith and Smith Tiffany, the
former winning.
At the conclusion of these sports
Kenney Byram and Edgar Aiken
ran half mile foot race, Edgar
winning out by about $50 yards.
The remainder of the program
will be worked off. in addition to
some of the above events, as soon
as the kids can obtain the proper
apparatus. The boys are getting
into line to take the places Of the
high school boys, as the latter pass
out of the high school, and they ex-
pect to give the seniors a lively
chase before the seniors leave.

A GRApHOpHONE CAMPAIGN.

When Senator Depew recently
made his after-dinner speech thru
a long distance telephone, speech
making by graphophones was fore
told. The correctness of the proph-
ecy is now proven by a dispatch
from Washington which says that
the coming presidential contest will
be likely to 60 down in history as
the first ''graphophone campaign. =
The promoters of the novel scheme
to have the graphophone come to
the assistance of the over-worked
stumper have been busy perfecting
plans and will present them for the
approval Of the Republican national
committee next week at Philadel-
phia.
In presidential campaign the
supply of first-rate speakers never
equals the demand and the supply
that is on hand is generally cruelty
overworked. Unless a rear-plat-
form speaker has the physical en-
durance of a Bryan, November gen
orally sees him, in the language of
the late Mr.. Bland, ''all wore out. =
The graphophone would prevent
this useless wear and tear on the
human machine. One speech talked
into graphophone would answer
for all the seventy millions of peo-
1ple if necessary No cross roads or
corner grocery throughout the
length and breadth of the land
would need be deprived of the best
campaign oratory on the market.

Mankato Judge Holds That Way On
the Forfeited Tax Law.

/ s IS s
Judge Cray of the Mankato dis
trict has filed a decision holding
that the forfeited tax law is no good,
and that owners of property sold at
the forfeited tax sale can commence
an action and secure title.
Auditor Tompkins of Redwood
county was seen regarding the mat
ter last Wednesday, He was not
inclined to take a great deal of
stock in the decision, and believed
that the supreme court would hold
adversely, although he admitted
that he did not believe that the pur-
chaser, in case the original owner
did secure a decree restoring the
property to him, could recover any
more than the taxes and penalties
from the original owner. The re-
mainder, he said, if paid to the pur-
chaser at all, would have to come
UnrOugn the county.
Mr. Tompkins believes that the
best way for all of the purchasers
would be to commence actions TO
title, the same as under a notice of
expiration and redemption-that is,
by publishing All auditor S notice of
expiration and redemption and then
following it up with summons and
lis pendens, which would make a
perfect title. in case there was no
contest on part of the original own
er. This would determine the title
Immediately and would save the
purchaser at the absolute tax sale
considerable Of worry and interest.
The decision of Judge Cray of
Mankato is in the case of Hiram B.
Cole VS.. Leo. S. Lamm, an action
brought to determine adverse claims
to lot in that city. The plaintiff
.holds the patent title, and the defen-
dant based his claim to the property
on tax title acquired at the tax sale
in May of this year under the provi-
sions of chapter 322 of the general
laws of 1899, known as the forfeited
tax law The court finds that the
plaintiff is the owner in fee of the
premises in controversy, and that
the defendant is entitled to a lien for
the amount of taxes, penalties and
interest, assessed against the land
and paid by him. In memoran-
dun filed with his decision, the
court states that he does not think
that the defendant is entitled to a
lien for the amount paid at the sale,
he having paid several times the
amount of the taxes, penalties and
interest. Several defects were
urged against the title, but the
court holds that, even if these defects
are not sufficient to defeat the title,
the law itself is invalid, in SO far as
it attempts to divest the original
owner of the right to notice of ex-
piration of redemption, provided for
by the law in force when the origi-
nal taxes were sold to the state.
The case is Of considerable inter-
est by reason of it's effect on other
similar tax titles acquired at this
sale in this county and elsewhere
through the state. 1t is expected
that an appeal will be taken.
