Redwood Gazette:

Redwood Gazette:
If the Chicago & North Western
builds its line from Morgan to Mar
shall, which now seems certain, the
Great Western will not build through
that territory, but if the North West
ern does not construct the line the
Great Western is sure to. This state
ment comes from the highest official
authority. The Great Western surf
veyors have already reached Marshall
After striking Wabasso they took a
course somewhat to the north, run
ming to within three miles of Seaforth
and then proceeded due west to Mar
shall. By doing this the Great Western
cracks the North Western at Wabasso,
Seaforth, and Vesta, shutting off a
large amount of territory now belong
ing to those towns.
If the Northwestern builds the line,
which will shut out the Great West
ern, there is no telling in what direc-
ton the Great Western will proceed.
1t may be along the Minnesota river
north of the North Western, striking
Redwood Falls and then proceeding
west by south to Marshall If this is
done the North Westerns move will be
to extend the line from Redwood Falls
to Vesta, and possibly west.

George 81. Clark, 500 South Broad
street, was the scene of very pretty
June wedding, on which occasion their
daughter, Miss Grace Belknap Clark,
was married to Mr.. Frank Malcolm
Crane.
The whole house was given over to
the beauty of the garden roses. The
library was of special beauty, the
mantlepiece being banked with
maidenhair ferns and Baltimore bells
and the piano covered with water
lilies. A graceful basket of brides
roses formed the center of the dining
room table. while smilax trailed from
the chandeliers and the sideboard was
massed with ferns and roses.
At nine o'clock the bride came down
the stairs, preceded by the little rib
bon bearers, Dorothy Webster and Mas
ter Harold Willard, to the music of the
Lohengrin wedding march sung by
Mesdames Parry, Taylor, Patterson,
Miss Carney. Messrs Crandall, Brett,
Leo Carney and Ivan Parry. She met
the groom before the bower of palms
in the parlor where the service was
read by DR.. Kirkwood, of the First
Presbyterian church.
After the ceremony hospitality
was dispensed by Misses Robbins,
Farr, Severance, Williams, Sparrow
and Carney. In the hall, punch was
served by Misses Coffin and Hughes.
In the south hall up stairs the or
chestra played during. the evening,
while in an adjoining room the beau
tiful presents were displayed. - -

BECAUSE OF BETTING.
Reason Why Minneapolis Ball Team Did
Not Go to WaseCa

Nearly score of Mankato sports who
went to Waseca Tuesday to see the
game between the Minneapolis and
Waseca ball teams were disappointed,
as the Minneapolis team did not put
in an appearance. A large crowd was
on hand, and everybody was sore.
Captain Wadsworth of the Mime
apolis team is quoted as giving the fol-
lowing reasons for his failure to keep
the appointment at Waseca:
81 understand that Waseca has a
strong team and that the pitcher is a
colored wonder, but do not think
that any amateur team in the state
has chance with the millers, and
when | see So, 600 ready to be wagered
that we cannot win from an amateur
aggregation 1 start to look for some
thing We might receive fair treat
ment at Waseca, but we cannot afford
to mix in with any betting game, and
for that reason 1 refused to take the
team out of town.

PERHAPS THE SAME.
Man Who Abandoned One Team Thought
to Have Taken the Other.

Sheriff Gerlich has not yet learned
who the owners of the team that was
found yesterday morning on the Pohl
road. Neither has J. 81. Michels
learned where the team is that he let
a stranger have Tuesday evening.
Sheriff Gerlich suspects that the man
who abandoned the team on the Pohl
road is the same one who obtained Mr.
Michels' team. He believes that the
man abandoned the team because it
was exhausted from long drive and
secured another in order to press on
rapidly to his destination. There is a
good deal of mystery about the matter,
and dash of romance is added to it
because of the presence Of the young
lady, who was seen in the buggy with
the young man Tuesday afternoon.
The sheriff is making every endeavor
to locate the parties.

New City Charter Is Finally
Perfected.
If Adopted, il Will Take Effect at Once,
But Present Officials Will Hold
on for Two Years.

The charter commission had bare
quorum out last night, and made good
use of the fact by practically completing
the charter. No changes were made,
but few corrections were made where
members in reading it over had dis
covered errors. Every chapter has been
adopted, and the commission expects
to present its final report to the council
tomorrow night. Another meeting of
the commission will not be necessary,
and about all that remains to be done
is to obtain the signatures of the mem
bers.
Under the new charter, if it should
be adopted, the present officials will
all hold Office until the spring election
in 1908. The charter will take effect
at once, but these officials will contin-
ne at their work under changed titles
and their changed duties The new 9th
ward, comprising most of the pre-
sent Fifth ward, will have no alder
man, and it is provided that the coun-
Gil shall elect an alderman to represent
the ward until the next election. Aid.
