been squared. George Hughes

stars Of their respective villages,
called at the local tennis courts
last Saturday afternoon firmly
resolved to wipe the earth with
the local men and incidentally
to make amends for the one
match which had previously lost
by them, during the interchange
of matches between the clubs,

not as good as was expected how
ever, and the visitors returned

of having won a single set out
of three played.

had a chance except in the third
set when they led at one time
by a score of 4-2. This lead was
quickly overcome by three
straight wins by the local team
and after allowing the doctor to

serve, the Redwood men took
the next two games and the set

Redwood Co. Fair
toHave Good Races
Entries Show That List for 1915
Event Will Be Bigger
Than Ever
HAPPY HEART HERE
SEPTEMBER THIRTY
Horses from Iowa, Illinois, North
and South Dakota to Compete
with Minnesota

Fourteen good horses have
been entered already for the
1915 meet at the Redwood Coun-
ty fair grounds, and the season
for accepting entries is still
open. Those in authority state
that without doubt there will
be more horses entered this year
than ever before, and practical
ly all the races on the program
are positively assured.
Happy Here Thursday
Happy Heart, in whom local
interest is so strongly conferred,
has been entered in three races ;
the 16 pace, the IL pace and the
free for all. 1t is absolutely
sure that Happy will start in
the 16 pace Thursday, Septem-
Der 80, and it is probable he will
start in one or both of the 9TH
ers for which he is entered. At
any rate, Thursday will be Hap
py Hearts big day and his
friends and admirers will be out
in force to see him keep his old
laurels and win new ones.
Chas. Senescal of Hutchinson
plans to bring his string of
speed makers, a string of five
will come from Wyoming, ILL.,.
and Cole, the Brookings horse
man will make an entry. That
all the races are well filled is in.
Dictated by the fact that the 2::1s
trot which has been the hardest
to fill, already has five entries
with more to come.

it's meeting Monday evening,
took action to properly police
the town at night hereafter.
Geo. Gibson will be put on night

pointed to take his place as su-
pervisor of the street work.

keen satisfaction to the owners
of business houses who have
been made extremely anxious
by the burglarizing of many
towns in this vicinity.
J. F. Knudson, the new alder
man of the First Ward, took
the oath of office and is now a
member of the Council. Mr..
Knudson takes the place of Mar

time of moving from one ward
into the other.
The matter of oiling the

cussed and the decision made
that, in view Of the present con-
dition of the streets, no oiling
would be done this year. Ac.
ton will be taken to hire a mar
to work on the streets constant.
ly next year, the Council having
ascertained that this will be the
most economical method ane
will also assure much better
street condition. AS soon al
the streets are in proper condi
ton the work of oiling will b.
begun if the citizens wish i
done.

Lightning Causes
Considerable Loss

During the heavy rainstorm
which visited this section Mon
day afternoon lightning struck
the barn on the L. Rosburg
farm south OF town and burned
it to the ground.
Franz Peterson had recently
moved off this place and Steve
Shemon, who occupied it, lost
two horses and a cow and calf.
We understand Mr.. Shemon was
in the barn at the time it was
struck and had some difficulty
in getting out.
Oscar Gryting also lost three
valuable horses by lightning the
same day. They were in the
pasture and were evidently
struck when they came too close
to the wire. -Belview Independ-

hibiting the sale of liquor.
Former History of Case
The return of the county cam
vassing board showed 1904 dry
votes and 1894 wet, or a total Of

Judge I. NJ. Olsen Renders Deci
sion Friday Morning in COun-
ty Option Case
SEVEN BALLOTS ARE
FOUND DEFECTIVE
Appeal May Be Made to Supreme
Court; Otherwise Saloons
Close December Z

Redwood County will be dry
after December Z unless the de-
cision rendered by Judge /. M.
Olsen last Friday is reversed by
the Supreme Court. Under this
decision the county is dry by
two votes. 1t is not yet definite
ly known whether the case will
be appealed to the higher court.
Under the law saloons close in
six months after the election is
held, which in Redwood County
was June Z. Several saloons
whose licenses expired after the
election are already closed.
Result of Findings
The court finds that the total
number Of votes cast at the cleo
ton is 3,796. The votes cast in
favor of prohibiting the sale OF
liquor are 1899; those cast
against prohibiting it's sale were
1889. The court finds there is
one blank ballot and seven bal
lots so defective as to show nj
choice. The drys have a ma
jority of two votes according tt
this decision, as the total oil
votes cast against prohibiting
the sale of liquor, the blank bal
lot and the seven defective bal
lots is two short of the total vote
cast in favor of prohibiting thu
sale of liquor.
Of the seven ballots rejected
by the court as illegal, one wa
cast by person, who is fount
not to have been a legal voter
one was disclosed and shown t,
another person in a voting boot
contrary to law and five wer
identified by the votes writin!

A Word to Redwood
Falls Property Owners

The matter of fire prevention
and inspection Of fire hazards
with a view to remedying de-
fects has received very little at
tention from the business men
of the smaller cities and towns,
and the assumption that so
long as the front door is pre-
sentable never mind the back
door" has lead to conditions that
are prolific breeders of fires.
Redwood Falls today is very
we'll built from a fire standpoint.
Most of the buildings are brick,
cement or hollow tile, all of
which materials tend toward
lessening the fire hazard. But
and let us underscore that word
''but"- while the chances for a
sweeping fire are very remote
the chances for individual fires
are splendid.
There are conditions existing
in some of the business houses
that should keep the owner and
occupants awake nights. Rub
bish piles; defective wiring for
electric lights; defective chin
MES, some so rotten that they
can be torn to pieces with bare
hands; smoke pipes from heat
ing plants to chimneys so rotted
and rusted out that a lead pen
Gil can be punched through
them; careless handling and
storing Of gasoline; these are
some of the things that no one
but a trained Inspector and one
who does not care whether he
soils his clothes in blind attic
looking over the wiring and fol
leaks in a chimney can find. But
they exist nevertheless and the
danger is greatly increased be.
cause of ignorance of their ex.
istance.

LAWYER IS ACCUSED
Formal Action Taken Against H. c.
GaskeII by Gen. Brewster.

Formal accusation by the state bar
examining board against Harry c.
GaskelI of Liberal, Seward county, was
filed this afternoon in the state SUI
preme court by S. NJ. Brewster, attor-
ney general. In the complaint against

he made collections for certain clients
and failed to make an accounting.
Under the state law, accusations
against members of the bar are exam
ined by the state board and formal
accusations are filed by the supreme
court on recommendation of the
board. Recently the case against
GaSkell was investigated by Judge g.
W. Buchanan of Winfield, a member
of the board. He recommended to the
attorney general that proceedings
against Gaskell be filed in the su-
preme court. In event the charges
are subStantiated, it is asserted that
disbarment proceedings might then be
filed.
GaskelI was formerly a law partner
of Edgar Foster of Garden City. 1t
was while a member of this firm that
Gaskell came into possession of GER
tain accounts placed for collection. 1t
is now charged that he made partial
collections and took notes covering
the balance, but failed to report to the
creditors

where The DEAD ARE
Quaker Minister Will Discuss the
Question at Salvation Army Hall.

The Rev. William Smith of Indiana,
q minister in Friends church, who
has been conducting a prophetic con-
ference at Salvation Army hail since
Tuesday night, spoke Thursday night
on the subject, ''Christ's Second Com
ing
The speaker produced Biblical
proof that the popular manner of in
terpretipg the prophecies as meaning
q coming of Christ to get the spirits
of Inc dead when they pass away is far
from the truth. The manner of his
coming is personal just as he went
away, declares Mr.. Smith. The eff
feet of his coming will be that instead
will be -esurrected and living people
will be resurected and living people
transported to Heaven without dying
This will apply" the speaker said,
'sonly to those who have died true
Christians, or are living as such when
He comes.
No day is set for the event but GER
tain signs, notably the war and the
activities of the Jews, seem to indicate
that the time is close.
This is the last prophetic conference
Mr. Smith will conduct this year His
work superintendent of the Union

He will be here Sunday, and will
speak at The Salvation Army hall in
