Morgan Messenger: Atty. C. T.
Howard of Redwood Falls was here
Monday attending to legal business.
We have never heard it said that
the merchants of Redwood Falls
kick because Chas- Howard doesn't
buy goods at home, but we do know
one thing. that he bought hat in
Morgan last Monday and thereby
hangs tale. It was just this way
he had on a ''home brand" lid
when he started but when the train
was drawing near to Gilfllan Char
ley stuck his head out of the car
window to see how much the North
western hadn't fixed up the road
bed this summer when along came
a gust of wind and the hat went
with it. Atty. Howard is of the
opinion that it pays to keep the
lid" on tight.
Franklin Tribune: Father Woods
took charge of the local parish as
soon as it became a distinct organ
ization and his Jealous and untiring
work since that time cannot be es-
timated in a moral or spiritual
sense. A parish practically free
from debt. a well-knitted and har-
monius group of communicates,
responding generously to every call
from inside and from outside sources
proud of the achievements of their
pastor and faithful solely through
ties of strong affection for him. This
is the situation today as Father
Woods lays down the reins to take
up the noole work in a new field of
endeavor. Father Woods is richly
endowed with the natural graces
and gifts that make for bright
career in his sacred vocation. A
splendid voice, strong personality,
great force of character are coupled
with scholarly attainments, charm
of manner, and a broad tolerance
that invites friendships outside de-
nominational lines, as evidenced by
the esteem in which he is held by all
classes and creeds, here and at Red
wood Falls.
Two lives, says the st. Peter Her
aid, were snuffed out during the
terrific electrical storm that swept
over Nicollet county Tuesday fore
noon. Theodore Holl and his IA
year-old son. Charlie, residing in
CRANKY township, were the victims
of the terrible accident. The child
was killed instantly by a bolt of
lightning and his father was SO
seriously injured that he died few
hours later. When the shocking
fatality occurred Mr.. HolI was plow-
ing field short distance from his
home. He had three horses hitched
to the pillow, and on the approach of
the storm, about nine O'Clock in the
morning, he crouched down beside
them to secure shelter from the
rain. When the rain began the boy
stood some little distance away. but
Mr.. Holl called to him and he ran to
his father. AS he did so the bolt Of
lightning struck the plow and the
unfortunate child was killed instant
ly, the three horses also falling
dead in their tracks. The lightning
struck little Charles Holl in the ear,
and death was instantaneous. His
