JUDGE HOKE.
Justice at Sandy Bend Receives a
Black Eve.

DAaC6 A1Jos
'In sayin' that open this yere court
this mornin' the same as I would open
IA funeral" said Judge Hoke, as he
raped for order and motioned for the
constable to fling three Cinnamon out
doors, lin sayin' this I'm only expresin'
what I feel. Instead of bein' a hilori-
Gus occashun, as pervided by the stat
cots Of Wyoming, it's an occashun fur
gloominess and tears, and fur AKIN
each other whar' we ar headed fur.
Some time ago this court had be-
fore it the case of Hogan varsus Doyle.
Bill Hogan, who plays a good game of
poker, but amt with shucks at any
thin else, goes out of my Red Dog sa-
loon one evenin' to straddle a boss be-
longin' to Joe Doyle and ride gaily
away. On that boss was Joe's rifle
and camp outfit.
''He diskivers his loss in about half
an hour. but does he whoop and yell
and start off in pursuit? He don't.
When three or four bosses and guns
are offered him, and when this yere
court herself, advises him to foller on
and plug six kinds of Sundays into Bill
Hogan's carcass, does he foller? He
don't. He jest turns about and de-
mands jestice-demands that L issue
a warrant and send a constable to
serve it.

SENIOR CLASS.ENTERTAINS.

The senior class entertainment in
the opera house last Friday night
proved TO be pleasing social func
ton, and every seat in the hall was
occupied. There is probably no
one thing that appeals to the inter
est of the public so much as does
the work of our schools, and it is
therefore not at all surprising that
there was such a large and en-
thusiastic audience. With but one
exception the programme, which
was unusually long, was carried
out in detail.
The reading, "Two of a Kind, :"
by W. HI. Wallace, was we'll re-
ceived, although he somewhat imi-
tated the professional who recently
appeared in the church. Mr.. Wal
lace responded to an encore by
giving ''Only a Pin
The piano solo by Miss Ethel
Bowers was exceptionally good and
was we'll rendered.
Miss Hinkel S reading on 'Hagan"
was received amid deafening ap-
plause. She clearly demonstrated
her natural ability as an elocution
ist, and in this particular number
she displayed no little dramatic
talent.
The male quartette consisting of
Rev. Lutz, W. S. South wick, D. H.
Duryea and W. H. Wallace, greatly
amused the audience with a char
acteristic song entitled Jolly

The Shakespearean reading by

Miss Irma Houghmaster, in a

"Neighbors can be, which was
thoroughly appreciated by the au-
dience.
A piano duet by the Misses
Gretchen Hitchcock and Joan Stew
enson added to the merits of the
program.

FOR THE COUNTY FAIR.

At the meeting of the executive
committee of the Commercial club
last Friday evening, it was decided
to have the club cooperate with the
officers of the Red wood county fair
association in holding a successful
fair the coming fall. A committee
was appointed to solicit funds
enough among the business people
of the city to insure it's success
from financial standpoint. But
this is not enough. In order to
make fair do justice to the re-
sources of the county it is absolute
ly necessary that every farmer liv-
ing and owning land in it should
take a lively interest in the county
fair and give the officers and those
having the matter in charge their
most hearty support Let the farm
ers turn in and make the fair of
this year one of the best and most
successful ever held in Redwood
county.

The butterfly drill in which

The butterfly drill in which
twelve small girls, in appropriate
costumes, took part, was one of the
best numbers on the programme,
and clearly demonstrated that Miss
Everett, who had the drill in
charge, was master of the situation,
and spared neither time nor patience
in making it such decided success.
The parents also are entitled to
credit for the necessary labor and
expense involved in furnishing the
pretty costumes.
A vocal solo by Mrs. A. J. Jones
was highly appreciated.
The Red wood Falls brass band is
also deserving of special mention,
as the several selections rendered
proved very pleasing TO all. The
band, which now numbers twenty
pieces, can we'll be numbered among
the best in this section of the State
all due to the untiring efforts of
Professor Clark, who has the organ
ization in charge. The citizens of
Redwood Falls can we'll point with
pride to this musical organization.

MONEY FOR TWO NEW BRIDGES.
Sheridan and Vesta Draw $500 Each
from Omnibus Road and Bridge Bill.

Redwood county received 5000
out of the omnibus road and bridge
fund. at this session. Representa-
tive Clague only offered two bills
asking for appropriations, He was
modest in both cases, and IN each
case he received the amount asked
for at the hands of the road and
bridge committee of the two houses.
Representative L. Fl. johnson,
chairman of the house roads and
bridge committee, gave the bill
whole lot of consideration. and after
3 considering about 81 house files,
and about half that number of sen
ate files. he concluded that an in
definite postponement of all these
measures, and an omnibus road and
bridge bill would be the thing. AS
a result new bill was introduced,
covering his ideas, as well as the
ideas of the other members of the
committee. This bill was &c type
written pages in length, and was
reported in Saturday morning last,
being nude an immediate special or
der. With but few amendments
it passed.
By the bill, which has since be-
come a law. the board of supervis-
ors of the town of Sheridan will re-

THOMAS. HAMILTON KING.

In the last issue OF this paper a
brief statement appeared to the
effect that Thos. H. King of Delhi
was dangerously i'll and not expect
ed to survive. On Wednesday, the
day on which the statement was
published, Mr.. King quickly sank
to rest. He had been ailing for sew
eral years. but being a man OF in
tense activity, had not submitted to
invalidism. A little over a year
ago he went with his son George to
Oklahoma with the hope that a
change of climate would benefit his
health. Unfortunately this hope
was not realized and be came home,
rarely appearing in this city, and
month by month growing weaker.
The course of his disease had some
what prepared his family and friends
for the inevitable, and the announce
ment of his death was not wholly
unexpected.
Thomas H. King was born Oct.
10, 1886, in Clark county, Missouri.
Was married in 1860 to Miss Nancy
Wesley, and came to Minnesota the
following year, continuing his resi-
dence in Winona and Olmstead conn
ties, until his removal to his pres
ent home in Delhi township in 1870.
Mr.. King was the the chairman of
the first board of supervisors when
Delhi was organized, and though
too busy man to take to politics,
Was always public spirited and pro-
gressive to the time of his last Pill
ness. Some time in the eighties he
temporarily removed to Renville to
take charge of a Touring mill, but
few years later returned to his farm
and took up the strenuous side Of
farming life. Mr.. King was man
of energy and industry and cooper
ating with his sons, their combined
holdings amounted to two sections
or more of lands, which gave them
plenty of scope for activity.
Since Mr.. Kings death many in
cidents have been recalled illustrat-
ing his desire to help all who were
unfortunate or in need. Mr.. King
early joined the Baptist church and
about seven years ago united with
the Christian church in this city.
He was a member of the Masonic
order and of the Grand Army, hav-
ing served year and half in the
18th Minnesota. Five of his sons,
Clarence, Lawrence, Allen, Frank
and Andrew. and all threea of his
daughters. Mrs. Ben Bliss, Mrs.
George Whittet and Miss Flora
