TROUBLE | FOR !.
BOOZE BUYER
Boy Who Gave Strong Drink d
Companion Arrested. Fined
Expelled from School.

Following up some evidence that
Intoxicating liquor had been SNUG
gled in among the students of tht
Willmar Seminary, an investigation
by Sheriff Bonde ssoon located the
guilty parties. A student whose home
is near Montevideo had gone to Ray
mond and bought the liquor and brot
it, up and gave it to some Of his com
panions. He was brot before the
court and fined $4,000 and costs o,
80 days in jail by Judge Muller. His
father promptly sent a ch ok to COW
er the amount wanted. The young
man was expelled from the Seminary
and the faculty firmly refused to re-
instate him, when asked to do so by
his father.
Our object in publishing this is to
call attention to the fact that it is
a crime under: our State laws to fur
nish or give away liquor as it is to
sell the same, and there are others
who should take heed of this warn
ing before they get into trouble. The
young man is a minor, but refused to
testify against the liquor sellers at
Raymond, claiming that he had pur-
chased the stuff thru third party
whom he only knew by the name of
'Dick." He stated tho that at Mon
teyideo he never had any trouble to
buy liquor at the saloons, which goes
to illustrate how we'll these places are
regulated" Conditions are a lit
tie different in Kandiyohi county than
in the saloon ridden communities.

FIRE AT HIGH
SCHOOL BLDG.
lnclpient Blaze Starts in Labor.
at0ry and Was Discovered
During Noon Hour. -.

An incipient fire at the Willmal
high school created a great deal OF
excitement around this splendid in
stitution Of learning last Friday noon
During the noon hour smoke was dis
covered issuing from the laboratory
room. The door was locked and NO
one in the building had key. The
janitor, Mr.. B. j. Greenfield, was
hastily summoned. When he arrived
and opened the door the smoke in the
laboratory was so dense that nothing
could be seen. He pushed into the
smoke and made a thorough examin-
alton Of the room to discover where
the fire was located, and succeeded
in putting it out without the need of
throwing any water into the build
ing. The fire was entirely confined to
the lower part Of one of the cabin
cts. How it started is mystery
There was nothing in the cabinet but
q 11CCAC OOA VI Cud1COttl, Lew glass
testing tubes and a half dozen alco-
hol lamps which had not been used
for more than two years. The to-
tai damage done by the fire and
smoke will perhaps not exceed 5000.
Had the fire started during the night
in all probability the building would
have been ablaze before it was dis
covered.
The incident served to call atten-
tion to the fact that the provisions
for extinguishing a fire in the school
houses are woefully deficient. There
is no hydrant in the building except
a couple of small faucets and no fire
extinguishers of any kind. The re-
suit Of the fire will probably be that
the Board of Education will equip
the buildings with facilities for
quenching small fires.

GLEE CLUB con
CERT PLEASES
First Appearance Of Wilmar
Singers Enthusia stically Re-
ceived at B0nde Hall.

The concert given last Monday
night by and for the benefit Of the
Willmar Glee Club at the Bonde Hall
drew large crowd and was a thor
ough success. About three hundred
and fifty people were present to rs
ten to the program which had been
prepared for the occasion.
The numbers by the Glee Club
were well rendered and thoroughly
enjoyed. Should any number be men
toned specially above others as be-
ing particularly well rendered, prob
ably the vote would fall on the two
last numbers, "Aftenr0ster" (by Os-
car Borg) with a baritone solo which
part was carried by Selmer Berg; and
"Sommernat'' a pretty little night
song composed by Director Sundt,
the solo part Of which he himself
sang. Many would probably vote
"Where the Sweet Kentucky Flows"
as the most musically rendered. In
all the singers did we'll and seemed
to improve as the program progress
ed and they gained more confidence.
The piano solo "Annie Laurie" with
variations (Ryder) by Miss Ethel
Reed was most beautifully rendered.
In responding to an encore she play
ed the Nocturne "Nachstuck" by Esi-
poff.
A quartette consisting of Messrs.
Lars Jorstad, Rex Smith, Selmer
Berg and Erick Glad sang 1.-TWO Lit
tie Baby Shoes" and were heartily
encored. Elmer Peterson's clarinet
solos were well received, and every
body enjoyed the flute selections by
Robert Bitterness. Rev. Livingstone,
who gave reading as substitute
for the violin number promised, rem
dered in Swedish Victor Rydberg's
'ETomten." The poem is a master
piece in the first place and its rem
dition was simply splendid, and was,
to all who understood, a delightful
treat. :.-@.
7. O. Gilbert, appropriate for the
day, read part Of a speech on Alb
raham Lincoln delivered by Con-
|gressman Esch before the Minnesota
Bar Association. It was an eloquent
delineation Of the, character Of the
great emancipation and was given by
the reader in an inspiring manner.

CLOSE GAME
Fast Ninneapelis Tean IS De-
feafed Il Basket Ban By 4
Score Of 81 te $.

Basket ball fans Of Willmar surely
received treat Monday evening,
when the local high school team won
the fastest and hardest fought game
ever seen in Willmar from the MIN
neapolis West Side Independents by
a score of 1892. The visiting team
has the reputation Of being one Of
the fastest teams in Minneapolis.
and they sure were fast.
The high school team started off
with a rush and Taylor and Carlson
shot several baskets and these with
fouls by Swenson and basket by
Branton brought the score up to 15-.
4 in their favor. The visitors got
started here, however, and before the
locals had scored again the score was
tied at 1915.
From here on until the end of the
half the game was fought fiercely by
both teams the locals drawing away
and leading by the score Of 24-18
when time was called.
During this period some of the
toughest playing ever seen here took
place, Simms and Taylor in particu
lar having some merry battles.
McKeon made two Of the best
shots seen in a long time during the
first half, both of them being from
beyond the center Of the field and go .
ing into the basket clean without hit
ting the background.
At the start Of the second half the
Independents waded right in and tied
the score before the locals got to
going. Then two baskets put the high
school in the lead but the visitors
soon tied the score again at .27-27.
Then a couple Of fouls and a field
basket brought the high school score
up to 81. At this time there were
only about three or four minutes left
to play. A couple more baskets, the
last beautiful shot by Way, tied
the score again for the third time
during the half. Then foul was
called on Willmar and Simms shot
the basket putting his team in the
lead for the first time during the
