RICHARD PREPARES TO INVADE THE
SACRED REGION OF NICOLLET PARK

Attention Base Ball Fans! There
will be at least one ardent enthusiast
from Redwood Falls at the big open
ing game in Minneapolis on Friday
April &c.
His name is Dick Beach and be is
the best custodian the county capi-
tol building ever had.
Dick has been fondly dreaming of
this big event, and now that the day
is drawing near he keeps buster than
a hound pup with fieas. preparing to
go.
AS a genuine base ball fan this ar
dent lover of the national game has
few equals. He can name right off
the bat the players in any Of the big
leagues, knows their history from Al
to 2; what size collars they wear,
whether they use safety razors, or
own air ships.
He also says that he doesn't have
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-04-23

to hang his head, and look sad like
he did when he was a youngster to
make the boss believe that his grand
mother died in order to 60 to the
game.
AS a sphinx Dick is a winner and
he possesses all the additional char
acteristics of a cigar store Indian.
But at a ball game he has the lung
power of q lusty cherub and can
make more noise in two minutes
than a calliope can in a week. His
friends tell rather tragic story on
him.
Upon returning from one of his
base ball tours last summer, he pre-
scented a few Of his cronies with a
cigar each which he claimed to be of
imported quality. They smoked and
nearly died. But then, Dick says
they aren't true connoissears
what ever that means.

ing on Thursday evening of this

ing on Thursday evening of this
week.
The touring committee met last
week and talked over the various
routes. 1t was finally decided to re-
port On trip to Sleepy Eye, New
Ulm, Mankato. which will be the
noon control; Waseca to Albert Lea,
the night control. The second day
the tourists will go to Owatonna.
Faribault, Mortified, Pennington
to ST. Paul.
The third day is to be spent in the
cities and the run home will be
made on the fourth day along the
M. & st. L. over the state road.
1t seems likely that this report,
with notifications. will be adopted
by the club. Undoubtedly the route
proposed will be followed as it offers
excellent roads and decidedly strong
Inducements. There may be some
objection to four days trip.

ENRAGED BULL
CHASES GLEN
Young Superintendent of Big
Farm Has an Exciting
Experience
ESCAPES BY NIFTY SlDfSTEPPlNG
Remembers Lesson Learned at
College. Animal Grows
Weary and Stops

Glen Gold, who recently returned
to his home in this city after being
graduated from the state agricul-
tural college at st. Anthony, and
who is at present assisting his father
in looking after considerable farm
land. had an interesting experience
with young bull while at work ex-
aiming the drainage at the Red
wood stock farm.
The Animal CHARGES
He was passing through a 40-acre
field where several cows and a
young bull were at pasture. AS
Glen reached a point quite near the
herd Mr.. Bovine charged madly.
Glen says the fence seemed farther
away than the horizon" and he de-
veloped aviation proclivities before
the bull emf t d his second snort.
Started to Dance
Fortunately fer Glen, the knowl-
edge CLEANED while attending coll
iege came in handy. Twas a lesson
on how to sidestep a playful bull,
that he remembered and which he
incidentally proceeded to practice
with all the grace and agility of a
ballet dancer.
Did Some Fancy Steps

Glen. before my four-footed oppo-

sisters. The fence was too far away
and it was painfully :.eYident there

matador in buh-fght, only the
tables were turned for in this in

lance of the fence.

MRS. ED. PRATT
MAY MAKE RACE
Popular Teacher is Said to be
Ready to File Against H.
]. Bebermeyer
!. ALBERT JOHNSON FOR SHERIFF
William Rosen dahl Also Talk
ing of Filing on the Demo-
cratic Ticket

Mrs. Ed. Pratt. whose name has
often been mentioned in connection
with the county superintendency,
has practically decided to file against
I'll. J. Bebermeyer, it IS said.
This report has not been confirmed
by Mrs. Pratt but it seems quite
certain she will be in the race.
Both Are Well Known
Mr.. Bebermeyer has been super
intendent for seven years and is
well known throughout the county.
Mrs. Pratt has taught in various
parts Of the county, always with
marked success, and is extremely
popular.
j. Albert for Sheriff
It is being rumored that j. Albert
johnson is being urged by number
of his friends throughout the coun-
ty to get into the race for the re-
publican nomination as sheriff. Mr..
johnson says he has not as yet given
the matter serious consideration
though admitting that he has been
asked to make the race. 1t is not
impossible that he will file.
William Rosendale. it is said, is
contemplating getting into the race
for sheriff on the democratic ticket
and il he really got in would make
some fight.
G. G. Dripps has been spoken. Of

lsmay, one of the owners of tie
White Star line, which built the Tt
tanic. Mr.. Ismay has been bitterly
assailed by newspapers and the pub
lie butt he declares that he was in no
way responsible for the tragedy and
did not dictate a course to Captain
Smith. A hearing in Washington
may tend to clear his position.
Men were All Heroes
1t is evident that the captain, crew
and most of the men aboard con-
Quoted themselves with splendid
heroism and made way for the, wo-
men without protese. Doubtless
there were few who realized the
really serious nature of the accident
and none thought 1t was fatal at the
time the life boats were filled.
Noted Men Went Down
John Jacob Astor, Isador Straus,
Rev. Mr.. Stead. Archibald Butts,
president Taft's aid, were among
the we'll known and wealthy passen.
gers who went down with the boat.
Largest Boat Built
The Titanic was finishing its first
voyage when the accident occurred.
1t was the largest boat ever built,
being $50 feet in length and having
palatial equipment throughout. The
shock with the iceberg tore through
the steel plates and let the water
into the hold, where rising it
reached the boilers and cfused an
explosion which precipitated the
sinking.
Bodies are Recovered
Boats cruising in the vicinity of
the wreck have picked up a good
many bodies and doubtless more
will be recovered.
This is the biggest sea tragedy of
modern times, the number of lives
lost being the largest in history.

ARMORY WORK
BEING PUSHED
Contractor Byram Hurrying
Things along on New Build
ing For Company
MUCH CREDIT DUE THE OFFICERS
Captain Inslis and Lieutenant
GALES Put The Project
Through

Work on the new armory is adj
vancing fast.
Contractor Byram is on the job
all the time and he is making the
dirt fly.
It is evident that before the sum-
mer is over the building will be far
along.
No One Doubts Now
That Redwood Falls is really to
have an armory has dawned upon
several people of this township since
the work actually started. They all
hoped and all boosted but some
doubted even while doing what they
could to help.
Two Faithful Ones
There were two however who
never doubted: Captain Inglis and
Lieutenant Gales of the company.
The armory was to them fore
gone conclusion from the instant the
bill passed the legislature last win
ter.
They Never Quit
They set to work at once and never
quit until every tangle had been
Strengthened out and every difficulty
solved. Before the legislature adj
journed they had raised enough
money to insure the receipt of
$4,000 from the state.
Won In The End
That wasn't enough. They wanted
more. They wanted the best armory
in the state outside the cities and at
last they got it. Title to lots, big
prices on the part of contractors,
disappointments at home and abroad
never depressed them. They kept
their eyes on the goal and at last
they arrived. They collected and
sent to the state treasurer enough
money to make certain a building
III feet long with a spacious drill
hall.
Nearly Every One Helped
There were others who helped,
nearly everyone in town aided in one
way or another. A good many con-
tributed freely and gladly to the
cause and did so more than once. and
no one knocked which was a big help
in itself. But these two did the
bulk of the work. the bulk of the
actual soliciting. collecting. planning
with contractors, figuring, worrying.
They won as they deserved to win
and in winning the armory they also
won the respect. admiration and
thanks Of che entire community.

against L. P. Larson, present audi
tor. Mr.. Dripps has not decided
what to do and at present there is
no certainty Of his making the fight.
Mr.. Quarton, who was spoken of
as a candidate for county treasurer,
has made no decision as to his flu
ture but it is apparently certain that
if he comes out for anything it will
be for county auditor At the same
time both he and Mr.. Dripps may
decide to keep out in which case Mr..
Larson may have no opposition.
Bendixen. May Be the Man
1t is still persistently rumored
that c. M. Bendixen Of Morgan will
file against j. R. Keefe for the leg
islature. A good many republicans
feel that the man who opposes Mr..
Keefe next fall will be sacrificing
himself which probably accounts for
the scarcity of bona fide legislative
candidates.
Want Keefe as Delegate
Mr.. Keefe has been urged to make
the race for Democratic delegate to
the national convention at Baltimore
in June. John Freeman is already in
the field and it may be that Mr..
Keefe will let him have a clear
field though it is understood thai he
has NOT reached a decision in
matter.

Through the efforts of Congressman Higgins there is prospect that the dredging work in ShsW's coVs VIII be carried to completion 4 couple of years ago appropriation was nade for continuing the dredging In the cove, but it was not sufficient to complete the work as planned by the govern ment engineers, and therefore the work was not started.

 Since the appropriation was first held up there came a change In the engineers office of the district, and the official in charge made unfavorable report on the matter of dredging on the ground that 1t would be of more private than public benefit.
