The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1904-08-24

Mrs. 7. N. Tompkins and the
children left last Wednesday for
Mankato, Albert Lea, and other
points. to visit relatives for some
time.
Rob. Stewart, editor of the Wal.
nut Grove Tribune, came over from
that place last Tuesday afternoon
and spent the night in Redwood
Falls. Mr.. Stewart was appointed
game warden for this district some
time ago and only a couple of weeks
ago he was appointed justice of the
peace. All that he now has to dc
is to make an arrest and establish a
court and fine the violator accord
ing to his own judgment.
DIR. f. J. Bickford of Milroy came
to Redwood Falls on Monday after
noon of last week and on the follow
ing day he fled as a candidate for
the republican nomination for coro-
ner of Redwood county. DR.. Bick-
ford has been the coroner since the
resignation of DIR. W. E. Belt, al
though he has had no cases to act
on since his election. He is an ag-
gressive young republican and will
have no opposition, either at the
primaries or at the election in No
vember.
Commencing next Monday the
annual state fair will Ibe held at the
midway grounds between St. Paul
and Minneapolis. The Minnesota
fairs are now regarded as superior
to every other attempt of the kind
held by any other state ofthe union,
while many contend that this year
it will border closely on the st.
Louis exposition. That the attend
ance will be large is certain. All
railroads have made material re-
auctions in rates.
The deeds, twenty in number,
in Paxton, Sherman and Morgan
townships, from the late Charles d.
Gillian to Emma K. Gilfllan, were
filed for recordwith the register of
deeds last Tuesday. Each tract of
land is conveyed for love, affection
and $500. The deeds were filed by
Miss Gil6llan, who appeared per-
sonally at the register Office. They
were executed on April Goth, 1903,
about four months before Mr.. Gilfl-
Ian passed away. They are all &C
knowledged by Harvey Officer, the
well known st. Paul attorney, and
were drawn up by G. N. Bell of
that City, who has been attorney for
the Gil6llans for a number of years.
Early wheat threshing yields are
not as good as anticipated when the
wheat was growing. Mrs. Finn
threshed On Tuesday of last week,
on her farm in Redwood Falls town
ship, and got only 13 bushels per
acre. The grade was No. 2. A
wheat field adjoining this farm only
went nine bushels per acre. Mich
ael Maher, who expected an unus-
ually heavy yield, was surprised at
the machine turning out only about
10 bushels per acre. E. f. Juhnkp,
residing onesmile west of the city,
reported yield Of about 49, bush
els per acre, the largest yield re-
ported last week. Jos. Tyson
threshed out 30 bushels of barley
and so bushels Of oats per acre on
his Glendale farm on Tuesday of
last week. 1t is probable that wheat
grown on farms seeded late in the
season will average better, but
conservative estimate OF the Red
wood county yield, made at this
time, places it at from Is to Is bush
els per acre, probably not over the
latter figure.
At a recent meeting of the con-
gregation of the Christian church it
was decided to cancel the contract
with Evangelist Bicknell and Mr..
Davis, vocalist, for a series OF
evangelistic meetings to be held in
that church commencing the middle
Of October. This action was made
necessary in order to bring about
the appearance here of Base Ball
and Evangelistic Sunday in the
middle of December. Sun
day requires that there shall be no
svangelistic meetings preceding
