Klaw and Erlanger taxed the euof-

in building this new equipment.
Their scenic artists and costumeSs,
their engineers and electricians

artists and historians, anti-Quarians

former memories of "Ben-Hur" pro-

II From statement published In tho

10 last weeks issue Of the Brown
County Journal the impression may
20 abroad that our board OF audit 10
overchsrPing our County for services
rendered. The law provides that the
members OF the board shall receive
the sum Of s3. 90 per day. If the mem.
bers OF the board Of audit OF Redwood
County drew only $500 each during

reason that they odly rendered 3 days

Bernhard Phillips, who has been an
inmate of the St. Alexander Home for
the Aged for the past II years died
there Thursday morning. Death was
due to the ailments incident to old
age. At the time he entered the Home
he was a resident of Bird Island,
where one brother and two nephews
are reported to reside at this time.
Very little is known about his past
history. he was an unmarried man
and IS years 10 mo. and 1S days old
when he died. The funeral WAS held
from the chapel Of the Home Monday
morning st g O'Clock, Rev. Schott Of
dcisting. q:
st. Alexander Hospital is more than
crowded with patients st present and
every day brings more and operations
are performed daily. Some of the
rooms have three patients in them now
and conditions are becoming serious.
Tho new Loretso Hospital will not be
completed rs early as expected because
it has been decided that the part under
the roof-the attic so to speak-shall
also be completed before the opening
of the Hospital and this will take
several weeks longer than the original
plans called for.

There were eight entries In the
steer-roping contest this morning
Bill Mahaffey was the first to start
in pursuit of one of the animals and
after two misses he made catch,
but in trying to throw the steer his
saddle slipped and he went on his
head. His foot caught in the stir
rup, and had the horse not been
trained to stand serious accident
might have resulted. Richard Burke,
an Indian, made three throws. and,
missing each, gave up. Roy Hunters
horse was too fast and too unman-
ageable for the chase. and. though
he finally caught the steer by the
foot and threw. the rope slipped off
and spoiled his chance. Frank Roach
used the same horse and met like
fate. Otto Kline, one of the best,
threw his steer once, but the rope
slipped off the one horn. Time was
up. but the cowboy still followed the
steer despite the changing of the gong
and the shouts to quit. He caught
