ChaS lentz Dies
at Mont. Hospital
Former Redwood Resident Passes
Away After Short Illness; Funeral
Services Held Monday

Charles w. HI. Lentz, for many
years a business man of Redwood
Falls, died at the hospital at Miles
City, Mont, January 20, at three
o'clock. The body was brought to
Redwood Falls for burial, funeral
service being held at the Methodist
Church Monday morning, Rev. Will
liam Jobusch reading the service. In
terment was made in the Redwood
Falls cemetery beside the body of
Mrs. Lentz, who passed away last
fall.
Mr.. Lentz, who was fifty years of
age, was i'll only about two weeks
prior to his death, the illness which
originated in a severe attack of la
grippe, terminating in an acute form
of rheumatism which reached the
heart.
Mr.. Lentz is survived by his three
children, Grace, Karl and Tony, all
of whom have grown up in Redwood
Falls, and several brothers and sis
ter.
Until last summer Mr.. Lentz had
been connected for many years with
the firm of Francois and Schmahl
where he had been an efficient and
painstaking salesman. Last autumn
he went to Baker, Mont, where he
engaged with his brother in the mer-
camille business. His son, Tony, was
engaged in the same business. The
other son, Karl, is in the employ
of H. G. Schmahl here, and Miss
Grace has made her home for the
| past few months with her aunt, Mrs
Geo. Haber, in st. Paul. The entire
community feels the greatest sym.
pathy for these young people who
hove SO recently been bereft of both
parents.

Local Team Judged by All Hearers
to Be Strong in State Cham
pionship Contest

The debate team of the Redwood
Falls High School won the champion
ship of the Second Congressional
District in an exciting contest at
Luverne last Friday evening. The
local representatives, Oliver Steele,
Andy Luscher and Max Stevens were
in their very best form, showing ire
mendous energy and earnestnessA 1t
became clear to the entire audience
that the Redwood Falls boys were
good material for the championship
of Minnesota.
Julius Mathiesen, Ada Moreland
and Alice Chaplin spoke for Luverne.
They possessed a quiet, pleasing de-
livery, but lacked in force. The judges
were Supt. C. A. Patchin of Worth
ington, Supt. A. C. Tibbetts Of Pipe
stone, and Prof. Mac Connel of the
Mankato Normal School. Principal
Lewis of the Worthington High School
presided. Music was furnished by the

debate the Redwood Falls boys were
entertained at the home of Senator
Nelson until 80, when they began
the long night ride home.
As yet it is impossible to announce
the date or nature of the next con
test, the Interdistrict debates being
arranged by DIR. F. M. Rarig of the
University, president of the State
