"BEST EVER HELD"
And Ice Race Winners are Harr,
Pointer and Hal S.-Summary.

Thursdays races on the ice track
were quite up and beyond expectations.
1t was the kind of sport that causes an
interest and fascination; in fact, the de-
gree of competition apparent yesterday
may be expressed as about "the limit,
for like exhibitions have been and are
likely to be of rare occurance. The
weather was perfect; air crisp but not
cutting and horses We're clearly ami
mated and in fine condition for their
trials.
The winner Of the 3-minute class was
c. n. Smiths Hal S., and it was taken
in three straight heats. The finish of
the first heat was exciting. Frank
Hart's Queen of Hearts was close sec
ond while Hal S. was perhaps neck
in the lead. Charles Choate's Princess
was very close, but in third position.
The second heat followed and the fin
ish was adjudged relative the same as
the first. They We're punched in the
third heat, but Hal S. won out hand
Somely and Princess forged into sec
ond place. There was much comment as
to the fine work of these horses. Mr..
Choate had never before driven in a
race and his fine showing was mat
ter of not little praise. The time for
the heats was sc. 1914 and SO. The
purse was Is bushels of oats.
The 2.25 class was not called until the

which stirred interest noticeably and
which caused more than a ripple of ex-
citement. The best time of the first
heat was .3ih. Dolly F.. was in first rO-
sition in the second heat and Jim 5.
was just a nose or two behind FOR sec
Ond Ilace. S. B. came third, Irene p.
fourth and Harry Pointer was last. The
finish was "bunched'' and it was now
apparent to the large assemblaSe CT
horselnen that the contest was out of
the ordinary and that winners were not
to he idly chosen. The time of the sec
ond heat .35.
Third heat-Irene p first and Harry

PHILLIPS MUST PUT UP
Supreme Court Declares that Judge
Webber's Maximum Fine was
Not Excessive.
st. Paul Attorney Fighting for his Faith
er will now Have to Pay the
Fine Imposed.

The supreme court Friday ordered
discharge of the writ of GER
teriorari in the case of the state
ex-rel. Fred. B. Phillips, petitioner,
VS.. the District court of Redwood
county, respondent, and as a result
a fine of $3.50 imposed by that trib-
unal for contempt will have to
stand.
The case is one Of long-standing
and grew out of a suit between the
Phillips family and Hans Mo for the
possession of farm. In the trial
the Phillips were worsted. Pending
eviction proceedings an order pre-
venting the removal of any of the
crops was secured and this Fred. B.
Phillips, who is a st. Paul attorney,
disregarded.
Judge Weber imposed a $3.50 fine
for contempt and this Phillips ap-
pealed from. His contention was
that the fine was excessive and UNI
warranted. Justice Lewis wrote the
decision, and in his syllabus says:
An action was commenced by the
representatives Of relator to have
a deed to certain premises declared
to be a mortgage. The action was
decided adversely to the plaintiffs
and judgement was finally entered
therein May 18th, 1904, whereupon
plaintiffs in that action made appli-
cation for a new trial upon the
theory that it was in the nature of
an action in ejectment for posses
sion of the land, and final determi-
nation therein was reached adverse
ly to them Oct. 10th, 1905. While

DEATH or MRS. INGALLS,.

Mrs. Maria M. Ingalls,, the aged
mother of Mrs. DR.. C. P. Gibson
OF this city, passed into the beyond
early last Thursday morning in her
82d year. Death came as the direct
result of an attack of pneumonia.
altho Mrs. Ingalls, has been in an
almost helpless condition from i'll
ness and advanced age for the past
five years. The funeral was held
from DR.. Gibson's residence on the
18th inst, Rev. L. F. Badger ofici-
ating.
Mrs. Ingalls, was born in Vermont

Mrs. Ingalls, came to Minnesota At
years ago, and up to few years
ago were residents at Dodge Center,
Mrs. ingalls, joined the M. E. church
at IL years of age, and for years
was identified with W. C. T. u.
work, being president of the Dodge
Center branch and frequent con-
tributor to the Union Signal. About
nine years ago she lost her sight
almost totally, and four years later
her infirmities left her almost help

OF family of nine children, and is
survived by her aged husband, a
daughter (Mrs. Gibson) and three
sons.

SIMPLEX" DESTROYED
Fearful Explosion of Gas in Hold of
Simplex Wrecks the Boat and
Fires the Boat House.
Ed. Woods, the Engineer, has Narrow
Escape from Death Par
tally Covered by Insurance.

While lying at her mornings in
the boat house at the foot of Third
street last Thursday evening, ter
rible explosion occurred in the hold
of the launch Simplex" almost
completely tearing off the bow and
setting the boat house on fire.
The boat had a short time before
returned from the first run of the
season, pleasure trip up the lake
for the entertainment of the visiting
bankers. She had been newly paint
ed and repaired and Ed. Woods,
before closing up for the night,
lowered a lantern into the hold to
see if she had sprung any leaks.
The lowering of the lantern was
Immediately followed by a terrific
explosion, throwing Mr.. Woods bod
lily out of the boat, and when he
regained consciousness he found
himself lying on his back on the
narrow plank that divides the boat
house, and the interior of the
structure all ablaze.
The explosion was heard for sew
eral blocks and many, divining the
cause, hurried to the scene of the
disaster. Among the first to arrive
was Jos. Muelbauer, who, after in
effectual attempts to extinguish the
flames, united the Alice" getting
it out by very narrow margin.
The wrecked boat quickly sank,
the water pouring in thru the great
cracks and holes made by the ex-
plosion.
The fire alarm had been imme-
diately turned in, and by a very
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1906-05-23

quick run the boys soon had two
streams of water playing on the
burning building, which burned like
finder. The blaze was extinguished
shortly, leaving only the charred
and blackened skeleton of the pretty
little building which has stood there
for the past several years. What
is left will probably be torn down,
as the boat association has no inten-
ton Of rebuilding.
The boats were insured for S7OO
and the boat house for $500, leaving
net loss to the association of about
81 300. The company in which the
boat was insured gave Mr.. H. A.
Baldwin authority to have the hulk
raised and save whatever salvage
was of value. The engine is prob
ably not much damaged, and if the
gasoline tank did not explode, which
is extremely doubtful, it is possible
that the insurance company may
find the hull worthy of being re-
built.
The Simplex was staunch little
craft, purchased about four years
ago from the Fairbanks Morse Co..
and had been in use for a couple
of years in Lake Calhoun. The
original cost of the boat was 81. 300.
The local shippers, mates and even
the men before the mast, had grown
to love the little boat as only true
sailors can, and there was feeling
of sadness, among them, caused not
entirely by the monetary loss. Now
would be good time for the citi-
zens of Redwood Falls who wish to
see the Alice remain here to get
together and take her off the hands
of the members of the boat asso-
citation, who feel that now she must
be sold.
No blame is attached to anyone
for the occurrence 1t was merely
one of those absolutely unlocked for
accidents that are always liable to
happen. Mr.. Woods was the only
one near the boat at the time. and
everyone knows him to be thor
oughly careful and competent ma
chinist. His burns, while exceed
ingly painful, are not considered at
all serious and will probably not
lay him up long.
