for a long time connected with the
laundries Of that city, was in Red

day Of last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Wells OF Central
New York are visiting AZ Jas. War
ner's. Mrs. Wells i a sister of
Mrs. Warner. and is returning with
her husband from st. Louis.
a letter from George M. Browne,
formerly Of Delhi, but now of Glow
erdale, California, under date OF
Oct. 18th, says: This is the cold
est morning yet this season, the
thermometer registering 30 degrees
above zero. The air is damp like an
early spring morning in Minnesota.
Mountains are covered with grass
and flowers Of all kinds are in bloom.
This is the finest time OF the whole
year in this section of California. =
The furniture, papers, etc., of the
First National bank were moved in
to the new quarters of the bank in
the Francois building on Tuesday
evening last, and now the business
of the institution is being transacted
over as fine counters and through as
fine fixtures as are generally seen in
a banking institution.
The Halloween pranks in Red
wood Falls were not many, and all
OF them innocent. The young peo-
pie were given to understand that
no destruction Of property would be
tolerated and they kept themselves
well within due bounds. No prop
erty was reported missing the fol-
lowing morning. A few cross-walks
were blocked. Some of the girls
appeared in ghostly gowns and Gre
ated more or less merriment.
The state board of pardons, in
session early last week, refused the
applications for pardon of Alex. J.
Sinclair and Archie Milloy, two
boys sent to the state reformatory
from this county on Nov. 18th,
1903. In both cases Judge Weber
had recommended the pardon. The
fact that the boys had once violated
their parole was probably the cause
of the board refusing the applica-
tions at this time.
A lively fire alarm was sounded
last Thursday afternoon, about 2:45,
and black smoke rolling up from the
roof of the building occupied by the
Redwood Falls Furniture Co., had
decidedly ugly look for few min
utes. The fire originated in some
boiling tar which Henry Meyers was
applying to the roof. The tar boiled
over and communicated with the
flame of the gasoline stove on which
it was being heated, blazing up in
way that was hard to control. Alex.
Schmahl burned his hand in throw
ing some o. the burning stuff off the
roof, which was only slightly dam
aged. The fire company responded
promptly, but used their hose only
enough to wet down the burned
portion of the roof.
Tillson Tibbetts secured his sec
ond deer on Oct. 10Th. The animal
was located in Whittett's corn field,
in what was part of the Goodrich
farm, on the Friday before. Mr..
Tibbetts placed the male deer in
crate and had the animal hauled out
to the field. Then he constructed
sixfoot woven wire fence about the
crate, making tract about 25-feet
square fenced in. At one side was
an opening where door was ingen-
iously constructed so that the pull
ing of cord would close it. On
Saturday the female observed her
mate and walked around the corral
for some time, and then she disap-
peared. Just as Mr.. Tibbetts was
about to give up the capture the
animal returned, and after few
minutes walked into the corral. The
