ROBBERY OF FARM HOUSE.

Last Sunday afternoon, while the
family of Robert Stewart was away
from home, a man whom Mr.. Stewart
had hired to work on the place the
day before, giving his name as
Kline, went thru the property Of
Ed. Boelter and another hired man
boarding with the family, and carried
off two good suits Of clothes, a val
liable watch and revolver belonging
to Boelter, and a lot Of other plum
der, most of it belonging to the two
men. The sheriff was advised Of
the theft soon after it was commit
ted, and sent. out inquiries to sur
rounding towns. but upto the present
the robber is still at large.

| MAY NOT GET LEGACY.

Mrs. Mary Kujas, the beneficiary
of the Franklin suicide who attempt
ed to murder his chum before sui
Gliding, has made demand for the
life insurance due from the Sons of
Herman, and is likely to get moth
ing, because she refuses to COM
promise with the creditors of the
dead man. 1t is stated that the
Fairfax lodge was disposed to let
the beneficiary have the balance of
the policy after the deceased's debts
had been satisfied and the funeral
expenses paid, but that she would
not agree to this and wanted the
whole amount. The upshot of the
matter is that the Sons of Herman
will now resist the payment of the
policy to Mrs. Kujas, and if she
secures possession Of the money it
will only be after she has fought
the matter thru the courts.

WAS SHORT TERM
The April Term Lasts -Four Days, With
One Civil and One Criminal
Jury Trial.
VIM. Conrad Pleads Guilty and is Sen
fenced, Hannah NoveL is
Acquitted.

The April term of district court
for this county was in the nature of
a benefit for the taxpayer and a cor
responding disappointment to the
attorneys and hotel men. It lasted
four days, with session of an hour
or so Saturday morning. In the
good old times it was almost always
good for three weeks, and with thirty
cases on the calendar, it will need a
little explaining to account for the
brevity of this term.
The grand jury did fully as much
business as usual, rendering ten in
dictments in all in open court. These
were the cases of VIM. Conrad, for
the murderous assault on his father
in-law at Lamberton two weeks ago;
Hannah Norvel, who was arrested
over a month ago for selling mort
gagged property at Wabasso; and HI.
Miller of Mankato. who solicited or
ders for Intoxicating liquors from
Walnut Grove parties in small
quantities, without license; and six
liquor dispensers of Lamberton, for
selling liquor to habitual drunkard.
Conrad pleaded inability to hire an
attorney to defend his case and the
court appointed A. Fl. Emerson, at
his request. Acting under the advice
of counsel, Conrad entered plea of
guilty of assault in the second de-
gree, and was sentenced to peni-
Tertiary term of two years and three
months. The mitigating circum-
stances were that it was the booze
which made Conrad crazy and muir
derous, and as it was out of the
question to indict the booze, the
grand jury did the next best thing.
and had Conrad enter complaint
against John Roth, VIM. Yackel 1.-TWO
indictments), Jos. Wild. Wencel
Lang, VIM. Fisher and Ole Olson all
of Lamberton, for selling liquor to
Conrad after he had been posted as
an habitual drunkard. All six APP
peared in court Friday evening,
and on the next morning gave bonds
in $500 each for their appearance at
the next term of court.
Hannah Norvel also pleaded In

FAMINE RELIEF MOVEMENT.

A public meeting was held at the
court house last Sunday for the pur-
pose of organizing relief movement
on behalf of the famine stricken
people of China and Russia. The
practical work of the meeting was
in securing pledges for over $500
and in the appointment of a commit
tee representing the church congre-
cations of the city. S. G. Peterson
was elected to represent the M. E.
church, j. P. Cooper for the Pres
byterian, Geo. Huhnerkoch for the
Christian, E. A. Luscher for the
Episcopal and w. J. Cummins for
the Catholic congregation. The COM
mittee organized on Monday and
took measures for canvass Of the
community for aid for the starving.

the above-named committee.

Another step in the country's de-

of ten of the Northwestern roads

advance from the little engines that
can handle only few cars to big
ones that can drag as long train of
cars as can be put together, and the
coming of the big engines will give
this division the appearance of
real railroad rather than a dump

DISHGURED FOR LIFE.

NcSLd OGHSDI.
Last Monday forenoon, Martin,
the 10 year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jos. Dirnberger, met with serious
accident while playing on the school
ground in Dist. 80. It seems that
some of the pupils are permitted to
carry bows and arrows to school and
were out in the yard during recess,
playing Indian. shooting one an
others hats off their heads. The
little Dirnberger boy went into the
building and as he reached the door.

boys were coming when he was shot
in the left eye by little Willie Whit

to town and placed in the care of
DIR. Gray, who says there is no pos
sible show of saving the eye. The
boys parents are almost Frustrated

the court, and a jury was impaneled
to try the same. The defense was
that the real offender was not the
woman but her male companion,
who got away with the money and
left the, woman to bear the brunt of
the consequences. The jury seemed
to ultimately take that view Of the
case, as they brought in a verdict of
not guilty at ten o'clock Thursday
evening, and the accused woman
was set free. If the man in the case

be different.

TIE FINEST EVER
High School Senior Class Entertainment
Delights a Big Audience and
Wins ShekelS.
"a Box Of Monkeys " an AlI-Star Per-
Torrance, with Music and Fun
on the Side:

About every available seat in the
opera house was filled last Friday
night, on the occasion of the annual
high school play. And we have yet
to hear of one in the audience who
went away disappointed.
Preceding the farce, "A Box OF
Monkeys = the high school orches-
ira, the girls senior quartette,
Misses Georgia Chadderdon and Inez
Bager were principals in a little
program of music and recitations
that was all enjoyable. With the
graduation of the senior class the
orchestra will lose three of its most
important members Vim. Smith,
slide trombone, Forrest King, cor
net, and Wilbur Vaughn, clarienet
and the balance Of the organization
are wondering how their places can
be filled next season. The orchestra
| is a credit to the town as well as
the school, and we trust that the
vacancies in the ranks will be filled
in some way.
The senior quartet Misses Ball,
Mortimer, Morrison and Seebeck
made two appearances and were APP
plauded both times. Miss Ball sang
the somewhat difficult solo parts
with purity and sweetness of tone
| that promises much for her future
as vocal artist, and her support
was excellent.
Miss Chadderdon's monologue,
Keeping a seat at the benefit" was
a clever performance in both acting
and reading, and Miss Bager's wom-
ans rights lecture was punctuated
by roars of laughter at the end Of
every sentence. The series of tab
leaux, with Miss Pearl Evans as
reader and bunch of real sweet
hearts" shown up by red fire, was
we'll done, VIM. Smiths tenor solo
in conclusion displaying a voice that
lis always heard with pleasure by
Redwood audiences.
Any honest appreciation of the
acting Of the farce "A Box of Monk
eys," will read much like fattery.
since all of the parts were perfectly
adapted to the persons to whom
they were assigned. Probably it
was not equal to professional acting
from an artistic standard, bu. to
most of the audience we venture to
say the enjoyment was greater than
/ it would have been if acted by pro-
/ fessionals. Miss Katharine Force
was the stately Mrs. Ogedon Jones
without seeming to act the part at
all, Miss Adele Race was a bewitch-
ing sample of the wild western girl,
and Miss Marguerite Warner was a
charming contrast as the English
Lady Guinevere. Forest King and
Frank Evans entered into the spirit
OF the story with plenty of "go"
and real enjoyment which commune
