company is meeting with an enthu.
siastic reception everywhere, and
that the ,present tour to the coast
bids fair to be one Of the most sue
cessful ever undertaken by Robert
son and his players.
It is to be hoped the company
will meet with a crowded house
here. Mr.. Donaldson is one of
those rare men in our present ear
of commercialism who believe that
art and not money must govern the
ambitions of the stage. He has
faithfully adhered to this standard,
and he is now one Of the important
men in the theatrical world. WILL
mar is fortunate to have the privi-
lege Of seeing such a man, with
such company of players. It will
prove a most welcome change from
the ordinary worse than mediocre
Shows. of which Willmar has
had more than enough during the
present season.

A large number of friends and

ing. At the conclusion of a most
pleasant evenings program, D. w.
Mclaughlin, acting as the spokes-

expressed regret at his departure
as we'll as a wish for continued hap
piness and success in his new field
of labor.

Designate State Roads.

The county commissioners yester-
day designated a State road from
the county line on the east, thru
Atwater, WilImar and Pennock to
the Swift county boundary; also q
State road from Willmar south
within one mile from Svea and
thence west to Raymond. This lis
the third State road decided upon,
the road between Willmar and New
London having been designated
some time ago. Work will probab-
ly be started some time next spring,
tho there are no state funds availa-
BILE before August, 1910, when the
county gets the second half of its
apportionment.
The commissioners denied the Pc
tition of George Wilson and others
for county road on the south side
of Green Lake. and also the petit
tion of Henry Howell and others
for a county road between the towns
of Willmar and Kandiyohi; both on
the grounds that the cost would be
greater than the benefits. In the
case of the former, the petitioners
deny this, saying that the road
would not only complete. at a rea-
sonable cost, circuit around the
lake, but would also materially
shorten the distance to Spicer for q
good many Irving farmers.

wide turns when going into street
at right angles, are all reaffirmed.
Every automobile on the road
must have adequate brakes. a suit
able bell, horn or other signal de-

TRIBUNE REPORTER
VISITS STEAM LAUNDRY

The Tribune reporter had the
pleasure of going thru the plant of
the Willmar Steam laundry Monday.
The new location is an ideal one
in every respect. It is roomy,
light and pleasant, and everything
is arranged with a view to convent
ence and space economy. The office
is separated from the main room,
with entrance on the west side, and
it is attractively painted and fur
nished. There is a new boiler ca
pable Of supplying so h. p., and
some other new laundry machinery
has also been installed. The hot
water tanks are all stationed out
side of the building. and this,
taken in connection with fine sys-
tenn of ventilation, means that there
will he no trouble with steam or
moisture in the work room.
On the whole, Hawkins & Wag-
ner have a splendidly equipped
laundry plant, and they are to be
congratulated upon their efforts in
giving Willmar the best in their
line. Under their management the
laundry has grown right along. un-
til at the present time it is one of
the important business enterprises
in the city. Messrs. Hawkins and
Wagner have something more to
say regarding the plant in an arti-
Gle under separate heading in this
weeks issue of the Tribune, and
we commend it to the attention of
all our citizens.

SHERIFF B0NDE
MAKES CAPTURE
New London ''Pigqer" Finally
Comes 70 Grief. PLEADED
Guilty 70 the CHARGE.

Last Wednesday, before Justice
Henry Winblad in New London,
Charles D. Davis, for some time a
resident of the village, pleaded
guilty to charge of selling intoxi-
eating liquors without a license.
He was fined $50 and costs. the lat
ter amounting to $25. SO, making a
grand total Of $75.86. He paid.
For about a year Mr.. Davis has
been helping his friends out with a
little fabrication to help their men,
tai processes to work easier. The
only trouble was that he was so
generous with his oil that at times
the corresponding physical joints
worked entirely too easy, and as
consequence some of the oilees
appeared to their friends and neigh
bors like Dinkelspiel for the first
time on roller skates. AS their
devious homeward journey could be
traced back to Davis house, the
friends and neighbors very natural
ly concluded that that contained
the oil tank. And so it was. It
appears that Davis was in the habit
Of having the stuff shipped to N.Y.
rem, Guggenheim and various other
John Does, in the absence of which
he took charge of the consignments.
Armed with this information,
Sheriff Bonde on April 10 called at
the Davis residence. but he found
that the bird had flown during the
night. That did not end the affair,
however, for the sheriff would
rather hunt than eat. The next
day the bird and the hunter started
a most exciting race-and with the
usual result. Tuesday evening of
last week at Hinckley they finally
met face to face, and altho no shots
were fired, the bird had its wings
clipped, and the next day it was
taken back to New London to get
the parting shot mentioned above.
The bird found out that sometimes
it is better to submit to having a
few feathers picked than to fly
away, for the costs of the hunt
alone amounted to $24.16. At pre-.
sent Davis is working at q summer
resort near Hinckley. and as there
are other charges against him it is
not thoght he will again 60 into the
oil business at New London.
