AN APOLOGY!

In mentioning the names of those
responsible for the success of the Red
wood County Fair The Gazette of last
week was guilty of gross carelessness.
Inadvertently the name of F. G.
Hubbard was left out of the list of
officers and directors, which was a
rank injustice to Mr.. Hubbard mas
much as he was one of the most loyal
supporters the Fair project has had
from the very beginning. Mr.. Hub
bard spent much time and energy in
advertising the fair and looking after
the numerous details connected with
it, and was strong agent in accom-
plishing it's ultimate success.
Our attention was called to the
omission of Mr. Hubbard's name by
several of his co-workers who rather
resented his not having shared in the
credit given them. The mistake was
entirely unintentional and The Gazette
wishes to take this occasion to apollo
gize in all sincerity to Mr.. Hubbard
for our carelessness.

tiers, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Studor of
Indiana, and Mrs. Albert Lilly of Red
wood Falls, and three brothers, James,
Thomas and John Morrissey of Indi-
ana, mourn her loss.
Mrs. Warner was formerly Miss
Margaret Morrisey of Fort Wayne,
Ind, and was about twenty-three years
of age. She married Oscar Warner in
1905 and they came to Redwood Coun-
ty, where they have since made their
home, about two years ago. In that
time Mrs. Warner made a large num-
Der of friends who were drawn to her
by her sweet womanliness and quiet
helpfulness. She was kind and low
ing wife and mother with a CHEEKY
smile for every one. These friends
mourn her loss sincerely and sympath-
ize greatly with the bereaved husband
and children.
Those present from distance were
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Gretencord and Mr..
D. F. Woodlock of Fowler, Indiana.

NO GUNS IN STATE PARK
Two Offenders Arrested and Fined !;
State Law Stringent and Severe;
Should Heed Warning

Two arrests were made last week of
parties who were shooting in the Ram
sey State Park, and the hearing held
before Judge Gray. While this is a
direct violation of state law, section
2248, the Judge held that the punish
ment was very severe for first Of
tense and tried the case under the city
ordinance, filming each boy $3.50.
However all future offenses will
come under the jurisdiction of the
state law and will be punished accord
ingly. The law states emphatically
that no one shall hunt or harm ami
mails, or carry or fire gun within the
limits of a state park nor within 5000
feet of the park boundaries.
The offense is punishable by a fine
of not less han fifty nor more than
one hundred dollars, or Imprisonment
of not less than sixty or more than
ninety days.

In reply to this The Gazette wrote
Mr.. Bendixen as follows: ct is true
that the eastman Bill does not go into
effect until next January, but if you
had looked the matter up, you would
have found that all the railways in the
state are now applying the principle of
the eastman bill to the present rates
and there is no law whatever to prohi-
bit this practice.
The Legislature of this State, has i'm
our opinion, made serious mistake in
passing this bill, and we believe that
it will mean higher freight rate on
all grain and live stock shipped from
our county than if the same had not
been passed.
The eastman bill provides that
where two railroads transport freight
to any point in this state the rates
shall not be greater than the maxi
mum rate allowed by law. Do you
know of any law that prohibits them
from applying this principle at the
present time? The railroads seem to
say that if it is good thing after
January !, 1914, it is well to try it out
now. If you will take the, rains to
look up the law, we beliey ,ou will
find that you have left the matter
wholly in the hands of the railroads as
To present rates.
If we are in error in this matter, we
will be glad to correct the same, but,
after very careful re-reading of your
letter we get no enlightenment what
ever from it. We would be glad to
have you quote us the law in the sta
tute book, which upholds your posi-
ton"
Mr.. Bendixen, in his reply to this
letter, did not give the asked for infor-
nation. And the fact remains that
the railroads are applying the princi-
pie Of the eastman bill, although they
are not applying it to the limit as they
will after January /. At that time
The Gazette will be pleased to discuss
the merits of the disputed bill.

Popular Play To
Be Seen At Arl1lOry
DEMONSTRATION of Owen Wister's saThe
Virginian" to Be Presented Fri
day Evening
TICKETS SELL RAPIDLY
Cast, Scenery and Management Very
Highly Commended Wherever
They Have Appeared

The sale of reserved seats for "The
Virginian" which is to be the attrac-
ton at the Armory next Friday eve
ming, began yesterday morning and
the call for tickets has been most graf
flying. The popularity of Owen Wis
ter's novel, coupled with the very ex-
cellent reputation of the Jones and
Crane Company, has made the public
realize that this was presentation it
could i'll afford to miss.
That this company is exceptionally
well-balanced and clever has been
demonstrated wherever they have put
on "The Virginian." To assist its tai
ent in giving thoroughly up-to-date
drama the company carries with it
special scenery which is unusually at
tractive and has arrangements by
which excellent electrical effects may
be obtained.
In order to enjoy the drama to it's
fullest one should read the novel be-
fore seeing the dramatization. A stirr-
ing adventure of western life, with the
breezy unexpectedness of the West,
pitted against the staid conventional
ity of the East, the book is well worth
the reading and the playwright has
emphasized all its best and most sail
ent features in putting the plot into
his play.
Many very kind things have been
said about both cast and play where
they have been seen recently. The
Daily Herald of Oskaloosa, Iowa, made
the following comment:
"The Virginian" was presented at
the Masonic last evening under the
management of Jones and Crane and
proved to be fully as delightful and
entertaining as Owen Wister's book of
the same name. The types and char
acters portrayed in the story are true
to the spirit and life of the west in the
days of cattle and cattle stealing and
is altogether different from the aver
age western play. Special stage set
tings were used throughout the produc-
ton and were very well carried out.
The cast proved to be very capable.

c. M. BENDIXEN BELIEVES
THE GAZETTE IGNORANT OR UNJUST

Hon. C. M. Bendixen has taken ex-
ception to The Gazette's story in re-
cent issue, of his visit to st. Paul,
where he appeared before the Railway
and Warehouse Commission.
Mr.. Bendixen is of the opinion that
The Gazette has wilfully misrepresent-
ed the facts in the case and rather ma
liciously dragged the eastman Dis
lance Tariff Bill in where it did not
rightfully belong. In letter to The
Gazette, written October 6, he says, in
part:
"Any attempt to connect the present
situation with the so-called eastman
act is simply absurd on it's face. The
eastman law does not take effect until
the LIST of January 1914, while the pre-
sent rates, which you, in the Gazette
article, say have become excessive,
have been in effect for years. In my
conference with the Railroad Commits
sioners they minated to me that the
eastman act was responsible for the
condition of which complained. re-
quested them to look up their rate
sheets and after having done so they
had to admit that the present rates
have been in effect for several years
and is absolutely unrelated to the
eastman law, more than that they al
so had to admit that the rates on the
NJ. & st. L. Railroad from Morton and
Franklin to Minneapolis and st. Paul
are from fifteen to twenty per cent
lower than the rates from Morgan to
the same points over the C. & N. w.
Railroad This does not coincide with
the chief arguments of the opponents
to the eastman act that the shippers
on two parallel lines of railroads, one
longer than the other between two Civ
en- points, are enjoying the same rates
on the ground that the longer lines al
ways reduce its rates to conform with
the rates on the shorter lines, which
is not the case, except at such points
where the competing line actually
meet

Information Worth Thousands Of

governments, has fallen into the
hands of the Mexican administration

here to-day.
For some months State Department
officials have suspected that the Gov
eminent kilograms from Mexico City
have been tempered with, 1t is de-
clared, but this was not considered
important, as all the dispatches were
in code, and, therefore, theoretically
illegible.
About three weeks ago, however,
Government officials here had their
first inkling that the Mexicans were
obtaining the gist of dispatches pass

Ambassador Wilson.
The agents of the almost unknown

from the wires in Mexico and de-
coded, the information contained
therein being transmitted to President

Comptroller of Currency Orders
Institution Closed When De-
faIcation Is Discovered.
ARRESTS ARE LIKELY
Preliminary Examination Shows
That 1t Has Been Looted of
Not Less Than 100000.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Acting
Comptroller of the Currency Kane to-
day announced that the First Nation
al Bank of Lafayette, Ga, has been
closed by National Bank Examiner
Thomas c. Dunlap, with the authority
of the board of directors on account
of a large shortage which makes the
bank insolvent.
Mr.. Kane says he has not received
a detailed report of the condition Of
the bank. Mr.. Dunlap has been ap-
pointed receiver.
we do not know how big the de-
falcation may be-" said Mr.. Kane,
but our preliminary examination has
shown that it is not less than $50. =
600. This shortage has occurred since
May %, when the bank was last ex-
amined. Suspicion on the part of Of
ficers Of the bank several days ago
that a shortage existed caused the n
to call in Examiner Dunlap. Discov-
cry Of the embbezzlement resulted.
In his Geographic advices to me
Mr.. Dunlap does not say to whom
suspicion attaches. The last state
ment Of the condition Of the bank,
issued on June 4, showed the bank t.
be in a proper state. The president
Of the bank is r. n. T.1kerson. and
S. A, Hunt, Jr., is cashier"
In a telegram from Mr.. Dunlap Mr.
Kane is advised that steps have been
taken to make an arrest.
