suit of the football battle fought
out on the local grounds at Lakeview
park Saturday afternoon. This more
than evens the score of last years

with dry field the score would have
been much larger. The local team
was in the pink Of condition and
played the visiting team off their
feet from start to finish.
Redwood won the toss and defend
ed the south goal. Mason kicked off
to Sleepy Eye on their ten yard line.
Sleepy Eye lost the ball on downs.

Redwood Falls in less than five min

marched down the field for the Sec

of play, Whittet carrying the ball.
Mason attempted to kick a difficult
goal but failed. Score, Redwood

After ten minutes of play in the

II. t. Peterson, a young Dane who
has been living alone in farm house

and he was going to kill himself.
Investigation at Evan showed that
Peterson had drawn his balance at
the bank, $3.50, and that his COW and
three horses had apparently not been
fed for week. the horses having
been found dead and the cow dying.
At Mankato Peterson went to the
theater with former Evan girl who

sons uncle, and says that he knows
no trouble that his nephew has had,

peculiar thing he knew about him.
The young man is reported worth
over $4,000, having two farms. His
parents are dead and he has nc

ANOTHER WEEK
OF COURTING
Minor Criminals Convicted and Start
Made With Civil Cases.

When The Gazette went to press
last Tuesday the Trial of the appeals
in ditch No. Z were drawing to a
close. The result of the trial was a
REIMBURSEMENT of damages and bet
terments in some cases, and eventu-
ally the attorneys for the petitioners
and the county agreed on a settle
ment of the claims out of court,
both sides making concessions, which
was perhaps the most equitable way
of dealing with the cases and GER
tainly saving of time and expense.
Of the criminal cases, which were
expeditiously put through immedi-
ately following the ditch litigation,
the trial of Roy Cox for assault on
Albrecht at Morgan, developed some
extenuating circumstances which re-
suited in a verdict of assault in the
Sd degree, Judge Olsen sentencing
him to ninety days in Jail, and up
. on a plea for leniency, the judge
gave the young man sensible coun-
sci. along the line of keeping out Of
saloons, which the court contended
was no place for a young man to
spend his time. He was defended
by Senator Clague.
Otis Walker, on a charge of indie
cent assault was acquitted, the jury
evidently adopting the theory
brought out to some extent by the
evidence, that the accused was too
drunk to premeditate the assault al
legged and which was not clearly
proven. C. T. Howard was his at
torney. Walker has another similar
indictment to face before he will be
released from durance.
Chas. Collins, who threw a billiard
ball at Policeman Lauterbach while
that officer was trying toarrest him,
plead guilty to assault in the third
degree and was sentenced to sixty
days in jail.
VIM. Jarvis, for stealing Meow
ern's watch in this city was acquit-
ted, but is held on a second indict-
ment. Senator Clague is his attor-
ney. McCracken, his alleged accom-
plice, plead guilty and was sentenced
to ninety days in Jail.
Louis Weber and Albert Stern
of Sanborn, accused of illegal
liquor selling, plead guilty and paid
fines of $50 each and costs. Herman
Hardt, another Sanborn wet goods
dealer, will stand trial for selling
liquor on Sunday. There is also
similar case against Walnut Grove
dealer on the calander for trial.
Only one civil case has been tried
so far, that of Nels Truedson VS..
Henry CORES. the jury bringing in
a verdict of $126 40 for the plaintiff,
who was represented by Attorney
Everson, Clague & Praxel for the
defendant,

of somewhat tedious suit for alien
alton of affections brought by John
Wog against Allen and Anne Lee,
the parents of Mrs. Wog. The lat
