Football Season
Opens at WiIInnar
Redwood Falls Team Breaks Even
With Heavy Team in Last
Saturdays Game
SCORE TIED AT 6 TO 6
Outlook Good For Best Team in
Schools History; Many Games
Already Scheduled
(By Staff Reporter.)

Last Friday evening the football
team of the local High School left
for Willmar to play a game on Sat
urday, which had been unexpectedly
scheduled on Thursday. While the
odds seemed rather against them they
took the Redwood spirit along and
used it to their own advantage.
The game was called at 800 o'clock
and Captain Steele won the toss
choosing zto-vdefend the south goal
Willmar kicked off and Fuller re-
ceived the kick, but owing to the fact
that it had been well placed was un-
able to return far. On practically
the first play by Redwood the bal
was fumbled and Willmar recovered
However, Redwood braced and hele
their heavy opponents for downs. The
ball was exchanged and see-saweC
for the remainder of the quarter, be
coming Redwood's at the last moment
by Willmar's failing to complete {
forward pass on the fourth down.
Willmar had gained more groun,
this quarter thsn Redwood had bee.
able to do, but had not been especial
ly dangerous. The second quartz
opened with Redwood in possession
of the ball and working against th'
wind. A forward pass was completes
making first down. Willmar braces
and with seven yards to 60 on fourth
down, another forward pass for twen
ty yards was negotiated. Reynold
then made another long gain by ;
forced run on and attempted for
ward pass.
Another good gain was made b.

I. II. Inglis Can
Grow Two Crops
In Short Season

I. Fl. Inglis is trying to prove, on
his farm just east Of the city that
"year-around' farming is possible in
Redwood County as well as in states
favored with a more sympathetic
climate.
Last spring Mr.. Inglis planted a
field of early potatoes which were
ready for market early in July. After
digging the potatoes Mr.. Inglis planted
corn on the field, the planting being
done July 21.
Monday, September u, Mr.. Inglis
brought to The Gazette Office a stalL
of corn grown from this planting. The
stalk with its tassel broken off, meas.
ured seven feet and six inches anc
was a good sturdy growth. While
the ears were by no means maturet
they were well shaped and only asked
time to prove themselves.
Mr.. Inglis is in a fair way of be
coming a pioneer in endless-chair
farming. His success on his new farm
has been very marked and If he cal
overcome a few little things like tn,
shortness of crop seasons there i
positively no limit to his achievement
Since the ripening of the miIk-weed
Mr. Ingiis has greatly increased tn

'RAH, 'RAH, RAH.

Redwood Falls has a football
team.
The team last year was good
and advertised Redwood Falls as
she had not been advertised be-
fore in years. The High School
gained patronage through the
clean athletics and straight
manliness manifested by the
boys wherever they played.
Even this early, appearances in
dicate that the 1914 team will
outrival in many ways the team
of 1913.
The side line is a necessary
and very useful adjunct to every
football game whether High
School or Varsity.
The team needs the financial
ard moral support of your pres
ence at every game.
The team is good thing for
the town.
Here's hoping the town may
be good thing for the team.
Buy a season ticket or two!
See the Hutcbinson-Redwood
game Saturday.

be replaced by crushed rock. Thus
the minimum width of the highways
of the state system is twenty-one feet.
Cost Is Tremendous
The cost of the roads completed and
now under construction averages be-
tween eight and nine thousand dol
lars per mile. The state furnishes
contractors with all cement used,
which they have been able to pur-
chase at low figure. All materials
shipped for state highway work are
allowed a reduced freight rate. The
cement and asphattic oil are Califor-
MIA products, materially decreasing the
cost of construction. Experts declare
our local road oil to be far superior
to the coal tar used in the East.
The right of way for the state roads
is guaranteed by the supervisors of
the various counties, thus relieving
the state men of lot of worry and
bother. The counties also build all
bridges along the highway. The cities
build and maintain the connecting
lines within their corporation limits
which is no inconsiderable saving tt
the state and is more satisfactory all
around.
Motors Pay Up-Keep
The maintenance of the road is not
to come out of the original S18,000,00(
bond issue. 1t is partially provided
for by yearly automobile tax Au
toes are taxed from $500 to $500
! horsepower classification annually
motorcycles $500 each. As there are
nearly one hundred twelve thou
sand automobiles in the state accord
ing to the 1914 registry and abou
thirty thousand motorcycles, the Ia,
amounts to considerable.
But. do not for minute think tina
the State Highway is the "whol
cheese" Nearly every county is do
ing great work in connecting the stat
road with every considerable town
Many wonderful roads entirely inde
pendent of the state system have beel
built connecting beach towns, indust
rial cities, citrus and agricultural cen
ters, and mountain resorts.

FRANKS LAWYERS
 DENY IMPROPER
 MEANS WERE USED
Claim No Undue T.r'--~-ct Used to Gain New Trial for Condemned Fac
 tory Suro--'-'

Atlanta, May 5.--Denial of the state s charge that improper zaneans had been used in obtaining evidence tending to show that Leo NJ Frank. the factory superintendent was innocent of the mur- der of 14-year-od Mary Phagan, was made today by counsel for the defendant.
 Various affidavits were introduced at the hearing in the superior court on the extraordinary motion for new trial for Frank which the defense claimed showed that no intimidation. attempted bribery forgery or other improper means had been used in obtaining sworn state ments.
 The action of Franks lawyers followed the conclusion of the counter showing of the state against the plea of the con victed mans representatives for new trial. Notice was given that further evf- dence would be introduced by the defense tomorrow, when, it is expected, the tek- ing of evidence will be concluded. Argu- ments of attorneys will follow
 Introduce Affidavit
 An affidavit introduced by the state to- day from Anna Maude Carter. a negro, charged that the latter had been ap- preached by an unknown person in the county jail and asked to put poison in the food of James conley. the negro fac tory sweeper. The negro woman said she was a prisoner at the time and that she was given considerable freedom in the tail. Conley was the chief witness tad Qs a n accessory after the murder.
 Superior Judge Hill today issued an order placing Dan c. Lehon. represep- tative of a national detective agency, under 5000 bond for his appearance later before the Fulton county grand jury here Solicitor General Dorsey, chief of the states legal forces in the case of Frank, said that he desired the testimony of the detective in connec- ton with the obtaining of an anidavit from the Rev. c. B. Ragsdale. The min ister asserted that he had heard Con Hey, the negro confess the murder, but | he later repudiated the statement. The solicitor general tonight would not say whether he contemplated ask l ing the grand jury to make a general investigation of meth ods used in ob- taining evidence in connection with the extraordinary motion, for new trial 1 for the factory superintendent. Vari- ous persons have repudiated affidavits and claimed undue influence.
 I No time has been set by Superior Judge Hill for hearing of arguments on a motion filed by the defense for the annulment of the verdict sentence | ing Frank to be hanged. Counsel for the defendant allege that it was illegal as the factory superintendent was ab- sent from the court room when the de- lcision was returned.
