SAN FRANCISCO, March 20
Apparently somebody got off on
the wrong foot with regard to the
alleged Ketchel-Langford match,
dseipte Sid Hester's assertion that
he had signed the fighters to do
battle at Point Richmond in May or
September. Joe Woodman, man
ager for the negro, continues to
deny that he has signed on behalf
of his man; Tom ODay is still
without word from the boy match
maker, and Sam Weiss, who claims
to have signed Ketchel for Hester,
has crawled into his hole. O'Day
this morning sent a wire to Hester
asking him if there is any truth in
the report that the match has been
made. but in view of Woodman s
denial Thomas has wasted the
money the tlessage cost him. O'Day
naturally is anxious, as the max
ing of the match would mean much
to him.

SOME AFTER ELECTION FIGURES.
Winners All Republicans But the Rep
reSeDtatiye.

By this time most of our readers
know that the result of the election
in Redwood county was solid Re-
publican victory with big hole in
it-a hole big enough to allow the
first Democratic member Of the leg
islature from this county to walk
through with 326 majority. This
paper will not undertake to explain
this wholly on account of Mr.. Gin
mestad having stood Loyalty and con-
scientiously for county option, but
rather because the men behind Mr..
keefe had practically taken posses
sion of the field before the Republic
an candidate had announced himself
and against a candidate with no or
ganized and coherent personal sup
port, had an advantage which could
have been overcome only by an i'm
petuous wave of anti-saloon senti-
ment. and no such enthusiasm was
was evoked in this county. Mr..
Gimmestad worked almost alone,
! and considering the strategic advan-
tage and personal popularity of his
opponent. made a good fight.
The figures for the candidates are
as follows, the total vote only being
given at this time:

SCHOOLS STAND INSPECTION.

Assistant State Inspector Critchett
formerly head of the schools of New
Ulm, was in this city last month Of
ficially, and it will be seen by the
following letter what he thinks of
Redwood Falls schools. His criti-
cism of crowded eighth grade
room and an impending crowded
condition for the high school room
is fully justified. Redwood Falls
will have to plead guilty to the
grand jury's report that our poor
house is almost tenantless and to
Supt. Critchett's report that our
schools are over-crowded in some of
its rooms. But it il better that way
than to have the condition of the two
institutions reversed. The following

ism. The accused man has retained
Senator Clague for his attorney and
it is probable that his trial will not
be taken up at this term.
The last pair of indictments was
against the proprietor of the North
Redwood saloon, Chas. N. Orvis,
for selling intoxicants to minors.
There is no question about the min
ors having obtained strong drink
somewhere, but where they got it
will be the business of the parties
concerned to establish.
Before adjournment. the grand
jury investigated to some extent the
county Jail and county home, filed
brief memoranda commencing the
county attorney and the county Off
Gals generally, and certified that
they had found both the Jail and the
county home in good sanitary condi-
ton. They called attention to the
need of padded cell for insane pa
tients temporarily detained at the
jail from time to time-a need that
has been repeatedly suggested by
other grand juries and which the
county commissioners would do well
to recognize before another grand
jury meets. AS to the county home,
the jury reported it practically emp
ty of inmates and that it will not
pay to continue to operate it, the
jury definitely recommending that
the building be leased for a summer
hotel, hospital or other purpose.
The civil cases tried so far are
those of John Revier VS.. John D.
Dickmeyer. a dispute over division
between the latter as farmer and
Reyier as his tenant, who was award

The November term of district

that there will be enough left at the
end of this week to justify the call

that the sheriff has got the wrong
man in his cage and his attorney.

sem blance to the man who managed
the Seaforth job and who made a
sensational escape last spring when
he was arrested here. After hear
the opinion of several witnesses who
stoutly affirmed that Adams was the
man who was driven through here in
an automobile and who made his es-
cape, the members of the grand jury
evidently thought that the evidence
as to his identity was strong enough
to justify them in returning the in
dictments as above,
The North Redwood Slayer of Ira
Pratt was also indicted on two
counts murder and manslaughter.
Testimony given before the coroner's
jury Wednesday morning fully justi-
fed the verdict returned by them in
the afternoon, that Pratt came to
his death as the result of blows in
flicted upon his head, probably the
blows which Mallet struck in the
saloon. Drs. Chadbourn and Brand,
who had conducted the post norton,
both testified that there was clotted
blood under the skull where the
blow had been struck which was
plainly marked on the left side of
the dead mans face below the tenn
pie, and agreed that this was the
probable cause of death. They also
agreed in stating that the skull of
the man at that point was phenom-
enally thin and the blood in a vari-
cose and unnatural condition, the
deduction being that this condition
was probably the result of alcohol

By substantial majority | have
been elected Redwood county's next
representative and while my election
may with some degree of reasoning
be regarded as a remarkable one,
yet do not regard it as a personal
or partisan victory, and while it is
true that the Democrats of this
county made me their candidate and
stood by me throughout the contest
using every honorable means to
bring about the result, yet in justice
to that large number of independ-
ent Republicans who set aside party
politics and made my election pos
sible, am sincerely grateful, and
my services to the county will be
along business lines, and no matter
what political party advances legis-
lation which | believe to be fair to
Redwood county and the state, ]
shall give it my earnest support.

duct myself that in the end you
will have no regrets, | am your

AN AID. TO BRING BRIDES.
Illinois Minister Believes in Using the
Newspaper Space.

Moline, ILL.,, June II. A precedent
in the ministerial advertising world
has been established by the Rev. r.
S. Hancy, pastor of the Second Con
gregational church of this city, who
has inserted a display advertisement
in the daily papers calling attention
to the fact that it was his business to
marry persons.
The Congregational minister always
has been known as a progressive ad-
ycrtiscr, but his latest venture has
startled even his most intimate of
friends.
June brides, attention." in heavy
black type is the way the advertise
ment is headed. BY way of eXplana-
ton, the pastors ad. continues:
Last year six couples called at my
house to be married while | was at
tending other weddings. If you will
please drop me letter stating when
and where you desire to be married
| will try to make my plans conform
to yours. All communications will
be kept confidential"
What effect the advertisement will
have on the other ministers of the
city is a topic of considerable discus.
sion, 1t is generally believed his step
will be ccnsuTed by the Ministerial
Union, of which he is member.
Mr., Haney is at the head of what
is known as an institutional church
and he advertises it extensively in
many ways. He has card index
system containing the names of the
members of his church and his con
gregatiOn. He never misses sending
birthday anniversary cards to mem
bers of his flock or any one whose
name is in his index, If parishionel
leaves the city, Mr., Haney always
sends him or her several postcards
If the pastor goes on a journey hC
never neglects sending a postcard tC

there was Il dinner in the villa ut
which much wine was drunk rho
police do not profess to say who the
diners, other than Mrs. Charlton,
were; but the fight that followed is
confidently attributed in part to u
brain innamod with drink
Admitting this hypothesis, II is said
that quarrel took place and that
the woman was struck on the head
with the statue, receiving n wound
from which the blood flowed freely.
with the blow the statue was then
broken.
Mrs. Charlton appears to have fed
to the chamber above, seeking refuge
in her bed, where the sheets were
saturated with her blood. While still
on her feet, investigators say, she
was struck again and fell, her head
dropping on pillow which bears
large red stains. PROSTATE on the
bed the woman, 1t is asserted re-
Ccivcd six other blows which render
ed her inscnsiblc.
The stairs and the walls adjoining
are stained, indicating, the inquirers
say, that after having been made UNI
conscious, Mrs. Charlton was then
dragged through the room and down
the stairs to the ground floor and
there placed in the trunk, which was
later weighted and sunk in Lake
Como.
The books found in the villa were
novels, the authors including De Maui

literature was a little volume at first
