WHY NOT MAZE THEM WIDER9
Why Not Slefghs Wide as the
- Ordinary Standard Guage Wagon?

Spooner News: Why not have sleighs
just as wide as the ordinary standard
guage wagon? This is the question that
seems to us should be brought up in
this state and a movement for the
wider sleigh instituted as soon as pos
sible. The disadvantage of the narrow
sleighs is readily apparent to all. In
case they were all of standard guage,
the same ruts that would fit the sleighs
would also fit automobiles and other
vehicles and the season for their use
greatly added to. While we realize
that the cost Of changing the sleign
beams would mean good deal to
many farmers, still Minnesota might
we'll follow the example Of Wisconsin
and exempt all wide beamed sleighs
from taxation for a period Of years.
This would Offset the cost of the change
and besides would act as an induce
ment for the use Of the wider ones.
How many teamsters have not spent
hours reloading the overturned mar
row sleighs with his load Of wood or
piled up grain sacks spilled because
Of the general use Of too narrow
sleighs nor can any of us forget the
spills in the snow bank of some jolly
sleighing party and the cold feet and
colder fingers we suffered in c0nse-
.mence. The wide beamed sleigh
would do away with many Of these
accidents, and many q man who lost
his life beneath his overturned load
would today be numbered among our
Industrious citizens.

FARMERS OF THIS VICINITY OR
CANNED ASSOCIATION
~ HERE

farmers at the court house Saturday
afternoon the organization. of a farm
ers cooperative creamery association
was effected and preliminary steps

Want BOULEVARD TO PARK |
WITH SHADE TREES, ALONG TIE
NORTH SIDE OF BROADWAY
ON WEST SIDE

At joint meeting of the Civic
league and the literary section of the
Musical Art club at the library par
lors Monday evening various matters
in regard to the beautifying of our
city, ETC., were discussed and steps
taken to have the plans carried out,
as far as possible. The attendance at
the meeting was not very large but
all were enthusiastic and anxious to
do something. %
Miss Emma SLally, visiting nurse,
who has been here for some time, un.
der the supervision Of the Civic league,
made report on what she had done
thus far. Out Of 305 children sent to
her for examination only fifteen were
found to be in perfect condition.
All the rest were in need of various
kinds Of treatment, she stated. Fifty
homes have been visited and the mem

amiped. Twenty defective children
will be sent to the different state in
stitutions. One woman was taken to
the university hospital in Minneapolis

The matter of establishing public
Fairgrounds was discussed. The board
Of education will have playground ap.
paratus installed on the Fairgrounds

likely that any other public play.
grounds will be established. The
question of engaging Fairgrounds
supervisor was also discussed but no
action taken.
It was decided to ask Mayor Fortier

ask the council to furnish man and

tino was also passed asking the mayor
to have the curfew rung regularly and
urging him not to grant any licenses

The park committee Of the Civic
league was asked to work with the
park committee Of the city council in
an effort to have the north side of
Broadway on the West side, from Sec.
fond street to the park, boulevarded,
and trees planted. They were also
asked to see that the driveways in the
park are properly maintained during
the coming summer and that the neces'
sary signs, etc; be put up. It is plan
| ed to have a policeman and caretaker
! at the park throughout the summer.
Miss Maude Smalley gave a short

BLOW WORTH $4,000 and PEN.
SUCH IS PENALTY ASSESSED
AGAINST TRUMAN I.AMPHERE
FOR BREAKING GIESE's JAW

Long Prairie Leader (23): Five
thousand dollars and a term in the
state reformatory constitute the price
to be paid by Truman Lamphere for a
wallop on the jaw. The wallop was
dellvered-not received. Judgment en-
try in this amount was made by Judge
). A. Roeser in district court during
the past week and reported to County
Attorney Wood.
The amount is awarded to Frank
Giese, who was on the receiving end
OF the wallop. Mr.. Giese sustained a
fracture of the jaw as suit of the
impact which took place in saloon
at Swanville.
The verdict for the plaintiff comes
after Lamphere had been sentenced on
criminal charge in Morrison county
to term in the state reformatory at
St. Cloud. Lamphere is now doing
time.
The details of this historic case are
pretty well known among residents of
this section Of the state. Giese was
in saloon in Swanville during the
past summer when newsbov came
into the bar and asked him to buv a
paper.
Giese did not deign to notice the
.newsie and + being thus silently re:
buked the youth pushed his papers at
l'his prospect. For this display Of
Juvenile disrespect. Giese struck the
papers, knocking them from the boy 5
hands to the floor. It was said that
Lamphere was in the saloon at the
time and he became incensed at the
action Of Giese.
He left the place, however, and
gave rise to his indignation to men
standing in front Of the bar. He ex-
pressed the determination to admins.
ter a chastising to Giese and re-enter-
ing the place he struck Giese on the
jaw as the latter was lifting glass
Of beer to his mouth.
The blow was terrific one and
landed solidly on the chin. Giese was
taken to the Long Prairie hospital, his
jaw featured in several places, includ-
ing severe breaks at the back, beneath
the ear and at the chin. It was neces-
sary to wire the jaw together in order
