the city council of Redwood Falls
from issuing liquor license to
Almeric Bailey for the period of one
year from date Of issuance
It is understood that after Judge
Olsen rendered his decision the staff
of the attorney general commenced
to sit up and take notice. and
Immediately looked up the special
charter given by the legislature to
the city of Redwood Falls at the 1891
session, and came to the conclusion
that Judge Olsen was right that
nothing in the Revised Laws of 1905
repealed any portion of the special
charter, and more particularly that
clause providing that all liquor IL
censes should begin and end on the
10th day Of January
1t was reported that all Immediately
after Judge Olsen rendered his de-
cision giving a permanent injunction
that the retail liquor dealers as
ISOLATION of the state would employ
A. C. Doliff, who is also acting as
corporation attorney, to appeal from
the decision of Judge Olsen, and at
tempt to have the mandamus set a.
side or quashed by the Supreme
Court. In view Of the advice of the
attorney general it is more likely
that the matter will be dropped.
There are number Of people, on
both sides of the question, that
would have been pleased at this time
to have the Supreme court pass up
on the matter and forever settle the
the question whether the liquor
clause of the city charter has actual
" been repealed, or whether it is
as safe as Judge Olsen holds that it
is.
City Attorney Dolliff informed a
reporter that the city would have
thirty days in which to file their
appeal, should he conclude to make
one, which would depend upon the
conclusions of the mayor and council.
Mr.. Dolliff had nothing to do with
the above report as to the attorney
generals Office.

Laura and Joe Bager Badly Hurt BY
Explosion of a Leftover
Sky Rocket.
We're First Reported Fatally Hurt,
But are Now Pronounced
Out of Danger.

Last Friday Art. Bager received
summons from his father at Minot,
N. D., to come there at once, as the
two youngest children had been
badly hurt by fireworks. Miss Inez
Bager followed on the next train,
but the nature of the accident was
not known to any one in this city
until Saturday night. A Minot dis
patch to the Pioneer Press made
the accident appear an alarming
one, the dispatch stating that the
children had found cannon cracker
in the back yard and that after
lighting it there was terrific ex-
plosion, which tore the little boys
flesh from his face and body in
chunks, while little Laura had also
been terribly lacerated and had both
eyes destroyed. The item concluded;
with a statement that the doctors
held out little hope of recovery for
the children.
Later it came to light that the
dispatch was badly exaggerated. A
DesLacs paper of Saturday states
quite briefly that Joe and Laura
Bager found a piece Of a big sky
rocket which they lit. After the
dust and smoke cleared away they
found themselves badly injured.
They are rapidly recovering from
their injuries. !"
Mrs. Glassco received this paper,
and at the same time a postal card
from Inez Bager at Minneapolis,
where the children had been taken
for hospital treatment, stating that
Laura's eye had been operated upon
that morning, and Joe's wounds
dressed, and that both would re-
cover, This was a most encourag-
ing bit Of news, and all friends of
the family rejoice that the accident
was not SO bad as reported, The
family will return this week.
