FOSSIL PEACOCK
FOUND

BERKELEY. Cal, Aug. 6.-The
asphalt beds on the rancho La
Lrea have just produced another
wonder to the scientific world in
the shape of fossilized peacock.
The fossil is the first of its kind
discovered on the American CONT
nent.
Much interest in the discovery
is being taken at the university,
where Prof. Merriam has announc-
ed the finding of specimens of the
sabre toothed tiger and other
primitive forms of animals that
were caught in the death trap
when they strayed too closely to
the oil deposits thousands of
years ago, at the same time the
peacock became victim to the
black fluid mass.

Boy Lost and Found.

Quite a sensation was created for
little time Monday night on ac-
count of a small boy disappearing.
The fire bell was rung and general
alarm sounded, and the youngster
was soon located. calmly sitting in
front of Gagnon's shoe shop. Dur
ing the absence of Mr.. and Mrs. Du-
Bots at Pipestone, their ten-year old
boy, who was being cared for at the
parsonage by couple of ladies, has
been placed under some restrictions
as to diet on account of tendency
to diabetes. With childish impulse
for getting his own way in the alb
sence of his parents he escaped from
the house and went to restaurant

Herb. BIrum In Public Life.

The Gazette this week received a
copy of the Glasgow Mont Val
ley Co. News. containing a number
of articles referring to Herb. Birum
who has developed into an influential
farmer politician out there and was
last summer chosen to go ito Wash
ington with a monster petition fav-
orlng government aid for an i'm
portant irrigation project for re-
claiming large body of land in the
Milk river valley. Mr.. Birum has
a we'll written communication in the
News, stating his views for opposing
proposed scheme for tying the
proposed irrigation scheme to the
river and harbor bill. Mr.. Birum
thinks he might better stay at home
than go to Washington and advocate
scheme that would not bear a
thorough investigation. 1t looks as
though our former Redwood sprint
er is making stand for a square
deal without any crooked politics in
it, and here's hoping he wins out.

NEW COMPANY
INCORPORATES
Redwood Falls Electric Telephone
Company Files Articles of
incorporation.

The Redwood Falls Electric Tele-
phone Co. is not going to be. but is.
After a preliminary meeting last
Thursday evening, the leading bust
ness men of the city got together on
the proposition that they would
finance the cost of putting in new
telephone system in this city pro-
vided that all of the citizens who
have. been urging the scheme would
get behind and sustain their action.
A meeting Friday night at the
council rooms seemed to settle all
doubts as to this proviso, and arti-
cles of incorporation were drawn up
the same day and have been for
warded to the secretary of state to
be filed in accordance with legal
requirements.
A partial canvass of the city re-
suited in placing $4,000 of stock with
about 100 subscribers the first of
the week. and this amount will be
increased when all phone users have
been seen, a bunch of business men
being ready to take all the surplus
stock after the canvass is made.
The shares are placed at $25, with
authorized capital at $4,000. The
articles of Incorporation and other
details will be ready for publication
by next week.

Former Redwood Falls Lady Died Last
Sunday, at Minneapolis.

: A telephone message was received
last Sunday morning from ]. A.
Schmahl. stating that Mrs. w. R.
Caswell. formerly of this city, passed
away that morning. Previous to
this, Mrs. G. Fred Thompson had
been Informed by letter that Mrs,
Caswell had been taken to a hospi-
tai the Sunday previous to her
death, and was afterwards operated
upon for an internal cancer. The
operation had been apparently sue
'cessful, the surgeons giving hope
that Mrs. Caswell might enjoy a
short period of comparative health.
though not expecting a permanent
recovery. The news of Sunday
showed that the hope was not we'll
founded.
The funeral was held at Minneap-
OILS yesterday, and the BODY was
laid to rest. in one of the cemeteries
of that city.
Mrs. Caswell is remembered here
as woman of kindly traits, active
IN church and lodge circles, being
communicate of the Church of the
Holy Communion and a member of
the Eastern Star order. She is sur
vlved by her husband and an only
daughter, Mrs. Maud Lentz, both
of whom reside in Minneapolis.
LSince the above was put in type.
we have received from a Minneapo-
lis friend the following additional
particulars:
Deceased began to fail in health
about year ago, her trouble having
been diagnosed as one of a cancer
Gus nature. She began to grow
rapidly worse about Thanksgiving
time and though everything which
modern medical and surgical science
could suggest was done for her it
was of no avail against this dread
malady. A funeral service was held
Tuesday afternoon at the family
residence, 1425 Chicago avenue, and
the lnterment was in Lakewood GEM
etery. Among the pail bearers
were Hon. j. A. Schmahl, George
Welsh and w. nj. Todd.
Mrs. Caswell was So years old on
her last birthday. With her hus-
band she left Redwood about four
years ago for Minneapolis, where
the latter had accepted an appoint

stoves that have been sold tributary
to Seaforth. We venture to say
that this is larger number of stoves
than have been sold by our hard
ware men for the past three years.
The price is $78. If local hard
ware man would ask any such price
for stove they would want to
bring him before Judge Evans and
have him examined as to his sanity.
How it is that a perfect stranger
can get SIS to $50 more for a stove
than it is worth or more than local
hardware man we are unable to un-
derstand We believe that it must
be the salesman, but why should
man with such ability fool away his
time selling stoves.

and it is understood that Mr.. Cas-

with this family. Mr.. Caswell is a
favorite in the inspection depart
ment, and among the many floral
tributes on the sad occasion was a
large, beautiful wreath contributed
by his fellow employees.

and to five per cent by Representa-

The lobbyists of the "Interna-

getting in their work against the
Spooner bill establishing new
states prison. This bill provides
for a new prison to be built at
cost not to exceed $4,000, 600, and
certificates of Indebtedness bearing
three per cent interest are to be
issued by the board of control as the
money is needed for the work. Now

but they see great danger to the

provides for building the prison

cry. Mr.. Spooner, who lives at
Morris, is an attorney and had
leading part in the organization of
the international in a professional
way. He says the state can manu-
facture and sell to the farmers for
SITS as good binder as the trust
puts out for $40 and pay for the
prison out of the profits. When the
trust was organized the cost of MAX
ing a binder was a little less than
$40. The cost Of making them by
the state, says Mr.. Spooner, should
be about the same now, for the saw
ing of manufacture by prison labor
would easily make up for the adj
vanced price Of material. In a re-
cent issue of the trust organ pub
lished at Chicago Mr.. Spooner was
hauled over the Goals in great fash
ion and the people of Minnesota
were warned to beware of his schem-
ing. And a warning from source
that stays up nights to heap benefits
on the farmers of the state will no
doubt receive such heed as the stu
