Vote For RineS
For Treasurer
Candidate for the Republican
Nomination for State
Treasurer.

Mr.. Rines has been in public
life many years and has lcgis-
lative record which has won him
many friends throughout the
state. He has stood squarely
for the interests of the people.
He was county auditor of Kama
bee county for ten years, after
which he served eight years in
the legislature, being Speaker of
the House in the 1913 session
and made an unusual record as
ar efficient and economical pub
lie official. He was recently cleo
ted district delegate to the Re
publican National convention by
large majority.
His long public service has
made Mr.. Rines thoroughly ia
miliar with state government
and he is we'll equipped, both by
training and character, to fill the
office of state treasurer.
The more important laws of
which Mr.. Rines was the author
are: The five per cent gross
earnings tax law, which is now
producing annually over one mil
lion dollars additional revenue
for the state; the act repeating
the old mineral lease law, which
the late Gov. Johnson stated in
campaign speech would save
the state school funds millions
of dollars.
Mr.. Rines is resident of
Mora, Kanabec county, and has
lived in this state 43 years. He
is married and has a family.

Mrs. Hieldness Dies

Mrs. C. Hjeldness, one Of the
early pioneers of Swedes Forest
township, died at her home at
Be.view at half past eleven Sun
day evening after several
of severe illness. In
February Mrs. Hjeldness had
the misfortune to fracture her
right hip which necessitated her
remaining in bed practically all
the time since the accident. This
caused a valvular heart trouble
from which she had previously
suffered, to become much worse
and death resulted. Funeral
services will be held at the home
at one o'clock Thursday after
noon, with an English service at
the Norwegian Lutheran Church
at Belview at one-thirty o'clock
and Norwegian service at Rock
Dell. Interment will be made in
the Rock Dell cemetery.
Mrs. Hjeldness was seventy
three years of age and is sur
vived by family of grown up
sons and daughters, the husband
and father having died several
years ago.

Jail Sentences
Given to Rioters
Judge Gray Condemns Sunday
Peace Breakers to Extended
Stay in County Jail.
LIQUOR CAUSES TROUBLE.
Visitors to Ramsey Park Are
Victims of First Disgraceful
Brawl in Parks History.

Three Redwood Falls resi-
dents who were intoxicated
created a considerable disturb
ance at Ramsey Park Sunday.
Visitors at the Park from Hec-
tor and Cottonwood were sub
iected to insulting and rough
treatment and made uncomfort-
able in a way which every Red
wood Falls citizen seriously re-
grets.
Just how the trouble started
it is rather hard to ascertain.
However, it had just gotten
started when a lady from Hec-
tor found herself the target of
insulting remarks and bad Ian
guage. Then a visitor from Cot
ton was the next innocent by
stander" to be the victim Of the
fght-crazy DRINKS who struck
him, causing him to nearly ditch
his car in which he was trying to
make his escape.
The three rioters were arrest
ed on a charge of drunkenness,
before any further damage was
done and taken before Judge
Gray. At the hearing Monday
morning w. H. Thompson was
sentenced to sixty days in the
county jail and Vern Baldwin
and Frank Hendricks each Civ
en- forty days. There was no fine
alternative given and the three
began serving sentence Monday
noon.
This is the first time Ramsey
Park has been the scene of an
affair of this kind and it is a mat
ter of keen regret that the dis
graceful fray should have taken
place On a day when the Park
was filed with visitors from al
parts of the surrounding coun-
try It is to be hoped that the
prompt and severe punishment
will teach the guilty men and
others Of like tendencies that To-
cal authorities will positively
punish such behavior as it de-
serves.

Militia Boys
Show Spirit In
Sham Battle

Before many of the Redwood
Falls citizens had aroused them
selves from their morning maps
the boys of Company l.. were
dressed in service uniforms and
eating a earty breakfast at
the pavilion near Ramsey Falls
last Sunday.
Capt. C. F. Gales had plan
ned an outing of this sort scme
time ago in order that the boys
might put in a little practical
field work, but owing to bad
weather the outing had been
postponed from time to time.
Sunday morning the weather
was perfect and the boys met
at the Armory full of enthusi-
astic spirit. From the Armory
the Company marched to Ram
sey Park where Company cooks
R. Ever and E. Gallea had
breakfast prepared.
After breakfast some little
time was spent pitching tents,
etc., after which the Company
was divided into two divisions.
The two armies set out in oppo-
site directions to meet at some
unexpected point where a lively
sham battle took place. The boys
thoroughly enjoyed the work
and returned with feeling that
much good was derived from the
training.
