NO PLACE LInt HOME.
So Says Henry Petrie After
Travelling Through Eleven
of the United States.

Henry Petrie returned to Red
wood Falls Saturday, after an alb
sence of about five months.
During that time he visited eleven
states and a great many cities and
towns. He had a chance to see
things as they are in the great west
and southwest.
His final decision is: There is no
place like Redwood county and Red
wood Falls.
Hence he is home and he is going
to stay. He comes back looking
we'll and satisfied. He expects to
pick out bunch of Redwood land
and settle down to solid enjoyment.
He has nothing to say about the flu
ture politically.
The states he visited on his trip
were: North Dakota. Montana, Ida.
no, Washington. Oregon, California,
Nevada, Utah, Colorado. Nebraska
and Iowa.

The other members of the party
made frantic efforts to release her
but found they were unable to lift
the heavy machine.
The party. composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. B Tucker and two little
daughters and Mr.. and Mrs. N
Hassen and Miss Cramm, had left
Glencoe in the afternoon in Mr..
fuckers new Hudson touring car.
They drove to Lake Marion and
spent the afternoon there. starting
home shortly before seven o'clock.
Skidded From Grade.
When they reached the long, high
grade across the slough near Lake
Mary Mr.. Tucker slowed down the
machine. In attempting to dodge a
deep rut in the narrow grade the
machine skidded just enough to send
it over the embankment. 1t rolled
over twice and Miss Cramm was
caught by the fender resting on hel

MANY EAGER TO
BE TREASURER
Commissioners Have No Stint
Of Material from Which
To make Appointment
ROSE HUNTER AS DEPUTY
She Will Receive Liberal Con.
sideration at Hands of the.
New Man

The county commissioners haye
the task of appointing a county
treasurer to succeed N. V. R. Hunter
deceased.
A meeting of the commissioners
will be held soon and the appoint
ment made. Doubtless it would
have been settled before this had
it not been for the absence of H. M.
Aune, member Of the Board, who
is out of the state on his annual va
cation.
WHO WANTS THE APPOINTMENT
A number of the best citizens of
the city are candidates. C. V. Ev-
erett, deputy county auditor, w. A.
Clements, cashier in the First Ma
tionaI Bank, j. Albert Johnson,
former county treasurer, and Daniel
Mclean of the local Produce Co.,
and William F. Jackson, agent for
the Eagle Roller Mills company, are
the Redwood Falls men asking the
appointment. Applications from
outside the city thus far reported
are from H. P. Harwood of Walnut
Grove. and Henry Johnson of Sun
down. There seems to be a decided
feeling that this town is entitled to
the appointment and that it will go
to one of the five men mentioned.
is COMMISSIONER BARRED?
Others. however, may enter the
race. Erick Wilson, one of the COM
missioners, has been mentioned as a
possible candidate. 1t is said that a
commissioner cannot be appointed
to the office of treasurer or auditor.
If this is true, he is barred by the
law.
MISS HUNTER TO SHARE
Who ever receives the appoint
ment probably. will at least split the
salary with Miss Rose Hunter, who
was her fathers deputy. 1t is
doubtful if the commissioners would
consider any application that did not
carry promise with it to do this.
MAY MEAN THREE YEARS
i 1t is highly probable that the ap-
pointment will mean at least three
years of service, as it will be a hard
matter to defeat the appointee, pro.
vided he is a good man, at the cleo
ton next year.

KILLED BY AN
AUTOMOBILE
John Choudek of Seaforth Lies
Down in Road and is
Killed
DRIVER SAW SLEEPER TOO LAlt
Accident Occurred Last Night
Too late to report Findings
of Inquest
DRIVER SAW SLEEPER TOO LATE

John Choudek of Seaforth was run
over by an automobile late lastnight.
near Wanda. and killed.
Mr.. Choudek was the village bar
Der at Seaforth, and did occasional
jobs of plastering, in which work ne
was associated with Geo. Bernardy
of the same village. 1t appears
that the two were together at the
time of the accident, and the infer
ence is strong that they had been
drinking, as Choudek was lying
across the road when the driver OF
the automobile, young man named
John Aftermath, noticed the man in
the road only a few feet ahead OF
his machine, too late to swerve aside
and avoid the disaster.
AS told over the phone, young
Aftermath was returning from an
entertainment at Lamberton, accom-
panied by his sister, and was nearing
his home, less than half mile north
west of Wanda, when his machine
ran over the PROSTATE body. his
sister was 50 badly frightened when
tn e machine jolted over the man.
that Aftermath took his sister to
their home near by before investi-
eating the injuries inflicted by the
accident. When he returned. the
lifeless body of Choudek was found
at the scene of the accident.
( E. C. Thuerwachter was called
from here this morning to attend to
the body, and an inquest is being
held this morning.
Mr.. Choudek leaves wife and
two children at Seaforth, and was
about forty-eight years of age.

Yes, Echo won one set out of the
first three, then two set out of the
next three, and then took another
set, making it four out of seven in
the tennis games played here, with

to see how the Gazette can figure
out that Heilman and Robinson
gathered in a couple of tennis

MASONS IN CHARGE OF FUNERAL.

Under weeping skies the last trl-
butes of respect were paid to N. V.
R. Hunter on Thursday of last week.
The arrangements for the funeral
were made by the Masons, of which
order Mr.. Hunter was popular
member. It had been his expressed
wish to be buried according to the
Masonic rites and his wish was res
pected.
Three Counties Honor Him
Masons and other friends of the
deceased came from all parts of the
county and from Renville and Yellow
Medicine counties to show their ap-
probation of. and respect for, Mr..
Hunter and his family.
Masons March to Residence
The members of the Blue Lodge,
under escort of the Knight Temp
lars, marched from the hall to the
residence and the procession was
two blocks in length. None OF the
Masons entered the house with the
exception of those who assisted with
the music and the pail bearers. The
remainder stood with barred heads
at the door and so remained until
the casket had been removed and
the mourners were in their carri-
ages.
An Escort to the Cemetery
Then they solemnly filed past the
hearse and marched as an escort TO
the cemetery. Afterwards they es-
corted the family home and stood
with hats off as they entered the
house.
1t came on to rain while the SER
vices at the house were in progress
and rained continuously until the
Masons had nearly reached town
upon the return. In spite of this
only one or two dropped out and
those were men themselves afflicted
and who did not dare risk the dan
gers of the exposure.
There Was No Sermon
The services at the house were
conducted by Rev. ]. j. Ehrstein of
the Presbyterian church. There
was no sermon and he spoke only
briefly a few words of consolation.
Then the casket. buried under the
floral offerings, was brought out.
Worshipful Master Japs Led
At the cemetery the services were
in charge of the Masons, with Wor-
shipful Master F. A. Japs leading.
1t was solemn and beautiful
moment when, after the lambs skin
apron had been deposited in the
grave by the master the Masons filed
past. each dropping upon the casket
a sprig of eyer green.

CAPTAIN Moses Mcfarland

The subject OF this sketch was born at
Marietta, Ohio, June 25, 1921. the
eighth child in a family of twelve, and
died, the last of the family,,a at Waterville,
Vermont, March g. 1911.
He was descended from S'otch-lrish
ancestry, a strain of blood that has con-
tributed many men of commanding fig
ure to the development and the upbuild-
ing of our country.
His grandfather, Moses Mcfarland,
for whom he was named, was IA Major
in the Rev dictionary War and fought
for his country at Bunker Hill and was
wounded in the battle.
October %, 1919, he married Livonia
A. Leach who died May %, 1889. By
this marriage there were five children,
two of whom survive, Henry NJ. and
Fred H., both of Hyde Park. For his
second wife he married julia Howard,
who survives him
In religious belief he was Universalist
and fifty or more years ago he contrib
uted largely of his means and personal
effort to the erection of a church in Wa.
terville in which services were held for
some years. 1t was also largely through
his efforts a few years ago that this
building became the property of the
/ town and now serves it well as a Town
J -, . III fl,a 7
| He was a Democrat of the old school
and though, in the nature of things as
they exist in Vermont, not often called
to service in public office, he was always
greatly interested in all public matters
whether pertaining to the country at
| large, his state or his town and freely
contributed of his means and services for
the general good.
He was a member of Warner Lodge
No. so, F. and A.. NJ. of Cambridge, be-
| ing one of the first to be received into the
/ lodge after it received its charter, about
| fifty years ago. He was ever a Jealous
Mason. He had a great affection for
his lodge and delighted in his old age to
do things which he thought might add
to its convenience and the pleasure of thC
brothers. That this feeling was recipro
Gated by his brother Masons is evidenced
by the fact that nearly if not quite one
! third of the lodge, forty in number. were
present at the Masonic burial service.
Captain Mcfarland was of that wing
| of the Democratic party known as "Wai
