What's all this about Mollie's mix

Edie last night.
Jim had come to see Dick about a
coming golf tournament in which he
wanted Dick to enter.

him for six weeks. He is a dandy
friend, nit. ,"

question is keeping him pretty busy.
He never knows whether he is going
to be at home or not answered.
1t was then that Jim asked his
question about Mollie as he settled
himself in Dicks armchair, helped
himself to one of Dicks cigars and
evidently prepared to wait until Dick
should come. Aunt Mary had gone
to bed with a slight cold and was
rather glad of Jim's company for l

Redwood Tennis
Players Meet
BeIWeW & Echo
Meets at Echo and at Redwood
Falls Give Games to Echo
and Belview Players

One match out of five played
is the best the local tennis ex-
perts could do when matched
against the racket wielders from
the neighboring boroughs Of
Echo and Belview. Last We'd
nesday afternoon six of the To-
cal players drove to Echo and
were beaten five straight sets,
the scores for the respective
sets being, Aldrich-Homme 6, 6;
lis-Streissguth 3, 4; Hughes
Richmond 6, 8; Baldwin-Russell
3, 6; Bergman-Sommerfeld 6;
Clements-Nelson l The day was
windy and not at all favorable
for the best tennis, but the play
was more even than the scores
would indicate, a great maj jority
of the games running into deuce.
Friday, the hosts of Wednes-
day were received as guests on
the local courts, and were given
more lenient treatment than
that which they accorded our
men at Echo. Two matches were
played resulting in one victory
for the visitors and one for the
locals. Baldwin and Russell sue
cumbed to the superior playing
of Aldrich and Homme by scores
of 6-3, Ga but Inglis and Laudon
Jared better and took two out
of three sets from their oppo-
nents, Hughes, Richmond and
Aldrich by scores of 6, 4; 6, g.;
6, 4. Hughes was disabled in
the second set by the none too
gentle impact of a tennis ball
upon his right binocular and re-
tired in favor of Aldrich. These
matches brought out the best
tennis seen on the local courts
this year and it is to be hoped
that the victors will find oppor-
tunity to repeat their visit.

Grows "Some" Corn

JgFrank Jones brought to the
Gazette. office last week a stalk
of corn measuring twelve feet
from butt to tip. The corn was
grown on the Jones farm east
of town and there are many
stalks just as tall in the field
from which it was taken. The
roots were so long and so deep
ly imbedded that two men found
it hard work to uproot the stalk.
Mr.. Jones believes the corn will
not mature before frost comes
and will use a large share Of his
field for ensilage having just
erected a second large silo on
his farm. In this way he ex-
poets to get his winters feed
away in safety and insured
against all damage from frost.

SanbOrn Defeats
Redwood Falls Boys
Contest Exciting from Start to
Finish; Sanbcrn Won,
5 tod

Last Sundays ball game be-
tween Sanborn and Redwood
Falls was won by Sanborn, the
score being 5 to 4. Up to the
eighth inning it looked as though
Redwood had an off day, but a
timely rally almost caused them
to win the game.
Hoge, who was on the mound
for Redwood, pitched a master
ly game, and had he received
reasonable support in the first
few innings, would have won the
game. He also bent the willow
for a home run, the only one
made during the game. Either
the locals were not batting the
pill as formerly, or it must have
looked very small to them.
In Sundays game there was

and deserved a rousing vote of

which it assisted in making the

F. A. du PLessis Beaten
Insensible, Then Robbed
Renville County Man Victim of
Thugs at North Redwood
Saturday Night
SLEEPS IN BARN
Hit on Head with Blows Which
Bare Scalp Bones; Face
Badly Bruised

F. A. du Plessis was badly
beaten up by some person or
persons unknown, and his mon
ey taken at North Redwood last
Saturday night. Du Plessis, who
is an unmarried man living by
himself about three miles from
North Redwood, in Renville
County, decided to spend the
night in North Redwood and
went to sleep in the barn at the
Thomas Hosken home, with Mr..
Hosken's permission. About time
for the east-bound train, Mr..
Hosken was reused by crys, and
upon going to the barn, found
sdu Plessis insensible and with
severe wounds about the head
and face.
Later it was found that ten
dollars had been taken from du
Plessis person while he was in
an unconscious state, the first
blow from his assailant having
apparently rendered him insen-
sible. A piece of 2 by a scant-
ling about two feet long, smeared,
with blood, was found in the
barn where the attack was made.
Persons who saw the injured
man just before he retired are
positive he had not been drink
ing. The wounds on the scalp
we're bone deep, and the face of
the victim bruised SO badly that
both eyes were swollen shut.
There is no clue to the robbery
although a transient was seen
lettering about with du Plessis
during the afternoon, and know
ing that he had money, it is be-
lieved he may have been the
culprit.
