SANTA BRINGS
A REAL BABY
New UIm People Find Little
Girl On Doorstep on
Christmas Eve
ACCEPTED AS WfLCOMf GIFT
No Clue to Percentage of Child
Is Discovered; No Search
Requested

Santa Claus seemed to know his
business when he left two months
old girl on the doorstep of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Sannwald's home on
Christmas eve.
Mrs. Sannwald heard rap at the
kitchen door. She opened it and
found bundle lying at her feet.
She picked it up and something in
side wiggIed.
She removed the covering and
there was baby girl wide awake
and apparently perfectly satisfied
with herself.
The fort was won in a minute.
Mrs. Sannwald declared that wild
horses shouldn't tear that baby away
from her and Mr.. Sannwald made a
noise like an encore. So it was set
tied. They even requested the Off
Gals to make no search for the par
ents.
There is no clue for which the
Sannwalds are thankful. A woman
and couple of men we're seen near
the house just after dark, but who
they were whence they came or
where they went no one knows and
its certain the Sannwalds don't want
to know.
The baby is about two months old
and an attached note said it had
been christened Layan Dolores.

The east and west bound North

On last Tuesday they arrived at
practically the same timesand crash

the main track.
The west bound train had come to
stop but the other was unable to
stop and the two engines came to-
gether.
None of the passengers :was kill

A snow storm was raging at the
time and it is supposed the collision
was due to this.
The trains were delayed about an
hour.

HANS MO CASE OPENED TODAY

Rollin M. West, former cashier of
the state bank at Golden has plead
ed guilty to the charge of embez-
zling $12,271.04 of the banks funds.
When this plea was entered the
other two indictments were nulled.
No sentence has been imposed up
on Mr.. West but he will be sentenc-
ed soon, doubtless to an indefinite
term as his past life has been above
reproach.
The case against Hans Mo accused
of being accessory to the felony and
with suppressing evidence was taken
up at New Ulm this morning before
Judge A. R. Pau of Mankato.
Judge Olson did not wish to try the
case as MIR. Mo is a fellow townsman
of his. both being residents Of Sleepy
Eye.
Frank Clague left last evening fol
New Ulm and will appear in Mr.
Mos behalf during the trial.

WHY NOT HAVE
ROAD TO CITY
This Question is Being Asked
b Leading Business Men
OF Redwood
NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT
Straight and Well Graveled
Highway Would make park
More Valuable

Waited. at once, good straight,
well :raveled state road to Mime
apol;s.
This is matter that at present is
Receiving the attention Of a good
many of the leading businessmen of
Redx God Falls.
They are preparing to go after a
state road of this kind in earnest and
never let up until it has been estab-
lishee from here to Excelsior.
a State Road TO Morton
Atpresent there is state road
from here to Morton but it has not
been properly covered with gravel
to insure automobile travel in spite
of rain. The plan is to continue this
road either east to Franklin or
north to Olivia. One route would
enter the city along the St. Louis
raiir5,sd and the other along the
NJ illsee
S.ere are very few hills on
either line the road could be put
through at small expense and right
now, it is claimed, is the best time
to haul the sand and gravel and
make preparations for the road.
Up tothe County Commissioners
The road can be established, under
the law. by the commissioners of
each county. AS the Redwood and
Renville commissioners have estab-
lished the road to Morton the bur-
den for continuing it will fall upon
the officials of the intervening coun-
ties.
Because of the tremendous in
crease in the amount of automobile
traffic it seems likely that such
road can be established and put in
first class condition so that no ordi-
nary rain storm will stop the cars.
Park Would Bring Tourists
With the Ramsey state park as
drawing card it is expected that
such a road would bring large
number of tourists here every sum-
mer and would assist materially in
advertising the beauties of the park
and the advantages of a residency in
this city.
United Effort Needed
Those who are back of the move
believe that if the businessmen at
this place unite on the project they
can interest the auto clubs members
and others, living between here and
Minneapolis as well as the auto club
of the city and will have compare
lively little trouble in getting the
road established.
At any rate they claim it is worth
working for.
Frank Kenney, who is alternating
this winter at Neutral, near Brain
erd. is having the time of his life.
His brother Charles, who is spend
ing his winter here. received word
from him last week regarding the
fishing. Frank says he captured

special to Inc tribune.
MOTT, June 28.-While bathing in
the Cannon Bail river at Mott last
Monday afternoon Lloyd, the only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Van Houten, a
boy of II, was drowned. With other
boys he was enjoying the warm water
OF the river, when beyond his depth
he was suddenly seized with cramps
and went out of sight.
The boys were too frightened to
give the alarm promptly, and it was
nearly half hour before the body
was recovered. Every effort was made
by the four doctors in attendance but
without result. For time it was not
learned who the boy was and when it
was rumored that the boy in the wat
er was Lloyd, his mother was taken
to where his clothing lay. She gave
one look and tainted.
The deceased boy was of excellent
habits, highly thought of by all who
knew him and leaves g. heart broken
father and mother to mourn his sud-
den and tragic end.

THE RESULT.

With practically complete returns

odds seem considerably in favor Of
Hall. kraabeI seems to have won the
nomination for lieutenant governor,
and Miller will be renominated for
attorney general. Taylor is renonnin.
ated for superintendent Of public in.
struction, and GiIbreath walked away
from Hutchinson for commissioner Of
agriculture. Mann and Anderson ap-
parentIy are renominated for railway
commissioners with Stutsnan and Pur.
cell fighting it out for third place. Ac.
curate figures were hard to obtain this
morning owing to the fact that many
county auditors were not totaIIing the
ballots until they received the returns
from every precinct. For congress in

in the lead with Young second, and in
the Third district Simpson is lead
ing with Norton second.

With Returns FAV0R|NG HALL
HOT CAMPAIGN in
south CAROLINA
Contest Carried With Great
Enthusiasm and Energy

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 28.-With
the close of the first week of the
speech-making campaign for the gov
ernorship it has become evident that
the political battle in South Caroline
this summer is to be one of the most
interesting and exciting since the
days of the Tillman campaigns. The
fight for the governorship is between
Cole Y. Blease, the present chief ex-
ecutive, ard Ira Jones, former justice
Of the state supreme court.
The contest already is being carried
on with an energy and enthusiasm out
of all proportion to the issues involv-
ed. Since the last state campaign the
prohibition question has been shelved
and for lack of other important issues
the present contest promises to de-
velop into purely factional battle
for control of the state administration.
In other words, it is to be fight be-
tween the Blease and anti-Blease ele-
ments OF the Democratic party.
The opponents Of Governor Blease
declare that neither in personal char
acter or men-talk attainments is he
worthy to be the chief executive of
South Carolina. They say that he is
erratic and unsafe, that he has abused
the pardoning power and has blocked
the enactment of needed laws by plac-
ing himself at loggerheads with the
legislature.
On the other hand, the governors
friends and supporters contend that
the statements about his personal
character are merely the ISLANDERS of
his political enemies. They declare
that he has headed vigorous admin
istration that has established an en-
viable record for efficiency and econo-
my in handling the affairs of the
state.
