Renville Country Dry

Renville county reports from
the election yesterday were to
the effect that the county had
voted dry by a safe majority OF
about three hundred.
AS was expected, Blue Earth
county will remain in the wet
column, with two or three hun
dred majority as unofficially re-
ported yesterday morning before
this paper was printed.
Advices yesterday as to re-
suits in other counties, were that
Olmsted and Blue Earth counties
were the only ones to remain in
the wet column, the counties of
Todd, Watonwan, Traverse, Of
tertail, Dodge, Pipestone Kan
diyohi and Murray going the way
of Redwood and Renville. Red
wood and Pipestone were the
only close counties out of the
ten dry ones.

Horse Stolen From
Redwood Falls
Returned to Owner
Frank Weeks Receivers Horse
And Buggy at Albert Lea
Last Saturday
THIEF MAKES GET AWAY
Cashes One Check for $40 But
Fails to Get Possession of
Remaining Fifty

The horse stolen from Red
wood Falls Monday, May 81,
was found at Albert Lea, Sheriff
Hassenstab and Frank Weeks
going to prove the property and
bring it home last Saturday.
The horse had been driven by
the thief directly to Albert Lea
where it was sold, with the rig
to which it was attached for the
sum of $40, this amount having
been paid by the purchasers in
two checks, one for $40 and one
for $50. The smaller check had
been cashed by the thief before
he left town. Payment on the
larger one was stopped. Han
ford and Davis of Albert Lea
were the purchasers and they
made the two checks because
some difficulty was found in
cashing one large check, as the
sale of the horse was made af-
ter banking hours.
| Sheriff Fischer Of Waseca
County had noticed the horse
as it was driven through Vase
ca earlier in the week and when
he received the notice of the
theft which were sent out by
Sheriff Hassenstab he imme-
diately gave chase. AS soon as
he had a clear trail he notified
Sheriff Hassenstab, but the thief
had escaped before Mr.. Hassen-
stab could reach Albert Lea.
However, he is now convinced
that the man who appropriated
the horse is the culprit who is
wanted on other charges as well
and it is probable the search will
be continued. The reward Of
fered for the return of the horse
was divided between Sheriff
Fischer and the purchaser of
the stolen property.
| The horse was found at AL
bert Lea, driven to Waseca, and
shipped from there to Redwood
Falls.

DR.. J. w. Powell of the Uni
versity of Minnesota gave a
strong talk on Apprenticeship"
taking the theme of graduation
being the first step instead Of
the last in long course of prep
aration for the work of living.
DR.. Powell's talk was practical
instead of merely theoretical,
was based on actual knowledge
of life conditions and was an
inspiration to class members to
go farther in the work of prep
aration.
The Male Glee Club sang two
selections, Pres. D. Mclean of
the Board Of Education pre-
scented the diplomas to the class,
making a few brief remarks, and
the exercises closed with Rev,
N. de M. Darrell pronouncing
the benediction.

''Park a Real GEN.
Says F.E. Gleason
St. James Motorist And Family
Camp Two Nights in Ramsey;
Are Delighted

F. C. Gleason with Mrs. Glea-
son, their daughter and three
sons, started from their home
at ST. James last week to travel
by auto to western Montana and
possibly straight through to the
coast. They camped out at
night, carrying full camping
equipment with them. They
reached Redwood Falls late
Thursday evening and were so
impressed with the beauties of
Ramsey Park that they stayed
there until Saturday. Mr.. Glea-
son, who was at one time firm
friend of DR.. John Sinclair, was
greatly interested in his friends
old home and loud in his praises
of the Park.
Mr.. Gleason has travelled ex-
tensively all through the United
States and he declared that at
no place had he seen any more
beautiful, more appealing seen
cry than in Ramsey Park. While
he had seen more grandeur, he
had never seen anything which
urged him so strongly to make
a second visit. Mr.. Gleason al
so spoke in high praise of the
system of drives in the park
which make all parts of it ac-
cessible to automobiles and
teams as we'll as to pedestrians.

Vote County Option Election Much Heavier than Antlcl-
pated. Brookvile Changes Majority from
License to No License
REDWOOD FALLS CITY DRY BY 302 TO l20
Total Vote CAST 1885, 1854 Votes in Favor of NoLicense
1922 in Favor Of License. Precinct Reports
Show Many Surprises

The special election under the
county option bill held in Red
wood County Monday, June Z,
resulted in the county voting no.
license, the winning side having
a majority of thirty-two votes
when the final returns came in.
For some time during the even
ing the vote stood 1898 wet and
1890 dry with one precinct
(Brookville) still to hear from.
1t was conceded by everyone
that Brookville would go wet by
big majority. When the re-
turns from Brookville reached
the headquarters at the court
house at II o'clock, everyone was
surprised to learn that the town
ship had voted "a dry and "a
wet. This changed the result
materially, giving the drys the
victorious majority.
The City Vote
In Redwood Falls the vote was
heavy and remarkably even in
the two wards, the first ward
voting 152 dry and ga wet, the
second ward $50 dry and GA wet.
While it had been generally
conceded that the county would
90 dry, it was thought the ma
iority would be much larger than
it is. While the later returns
may show some slight change it
is believed that the returns are
nearly accurate.

Boost the County Fair

The Charlotte Harbor & North

Fair and it will aid in other ways
to promote the success of the pro-
position. 1t now remains for the
progressive people of DeSoto to
put up the necessary cash for
buildings and other equipments,
and the truck and fruit growers
will do the rest. Though the
time is short, we can make The
county fair the greatest thing of
the kind ever seen in the state.
All that is needed is for e, cry
body to get busy and "whoop
up" the fair by both word and

Voters had just as well under
stand now as well as later that,
office holders and candidates, be-
ing human, are as liable to make
mistakes as people in any other
line of life. If the official or can
didate is candid and honest e.
nough to acknowledge his errors
and promise correction, it would
be safe in most cases to trust him.
but the man who refuses to ac-
knowledge and promise correc-
ton of a palpable mistake, would
serve the people better out of of
flee than in it.
