Such incidents have been frequent in

Chairman Willcox's Statement.

A few minutes before midnight Chair
man WILCOX issued this statement:
Chairman Wilcox said this even
ing that the matter referred to had

Chairman Willcoxs statement con-
tinues:

concerning the last trip and the timer

Mrs. J.f. Jones Is
Taken By Death
Wife of Prominent Farmer Dies
Tuesday Afternoon after Ill
ness of Few Days

Redwood Falls was shocked
Tuesday afternoon to learn of
the death Of Mrs. J. Frank Jones
living a short distance east Of
Redwood Falls. Mrs. Jones was
taken III last Thursday and her
illness was not considered seri-
Gus until Tuesday when compli-
cations, augmented by a severe
attack of the grippe, set in and
Mrs. Jones grew rapidly worse.
No arrangements have as yet
been made for the funeral SER
vice although the time has been
tentatively set for Thursday af-
ternoon, at the home.
Mrs. Jones is survived by her
husband, five daughters, the eld-
est of whom is sixteen years old,
and a son five months old. She
had spent her life in absolute de-
votion to her husband and chill
dren and was such a mother as
it is given to few women to be.
To her bereaved family and to
the many friends made by her
beautiful character and woman

tends the sincerest sympathy.

Boys Remembered

A letter from one Of the Off
GERS of L Company brings hearty
thanks from the boys of the
Company to the home folks who
remember that Boys are still
Boys whether they wear uni
forms or romper suits, and that
the way to a ''boy's" affections
is through his stomach. The let
ter says in speaking of gifts re-
ceived:
"Walt. Marsh called on us yes
terday and gave us two cases Of
oranges, Zelma Thune and Miss
Schmokel brought out two choco-
late cakes, Mr.. Sanders and his
mother gave us a full bunch Of
bananas. Mrs. Aune and Mrs.
Franz Larman sent us box Of
cookies, Mrs. Andrew Cook of
St. Peter brought us cake and
cookies. Mr.. Gold bought the
ice cream for our Sunday din
ner and Mr.. Thayer sent us a
tub of butter. Please thank all
these people through the paper
for the Company L Boys"
This same officer also spoke
most highly of the new Captain,
Myron Hingeley, saying in part
Gust a word in regard to our
new Captain. If it was possible
to keep Gales we would, but
that was out Of the question
and there is not a man that
know of that will fill the bill any
better than Capt. Hingeley. He
is good soldier, a nice fellow
among the boys and a man OF
very good morals. We are sat
isfed and are willing to go with

Succumbs to Cancer after Long
Illness; Funeral Services Held

o'clock the morning Of June 20,
after long illness caused by
cancer. Funeral services were

Mrs. Smith was born in New

er. Mrs. Smith is also survived

err.
Mrs. Smith spent the last WIN
ter at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Henze, at Aberdeen

several weeks ago. Since her
return, her decline in health was
very noticeable, and her suffer
ing for several weeks before her
death was very intense but was
born with the fortitude for
which Mrs. Smith has always
been known. Her daughters and
son were with her constantly
before her death. Mrs. Smith
was an honored member of the
local chapter of the Eastern
Star and a prayerful and consis-
tent member of the Presbyter-

Olivia Is Defeated
By Redwood falls
Sundays Game Noted For Bril-
liant Plays and Good Bat
terry Work

That the Redwood Falls ball
team is playing big league ball
was amply demonstrated last
Sunday when they defeated Oil
via, the score being 2 to l. This
was a fine achievement for the
local nine, especially after just
defeating the crack team from
Renville. Gibbs and Linde was
the local battery, while arrayed
against them were Sutton and
Linde. These two teams gave
a fine exhibition of good ball
playing which nightly pleased
the fans.
Olivia Scores First
In the first frame Olivia made
its only score, but failed to dust
the pan during the rest of the
game. In the second frame Red
wood made two scores, sufficient
to win the game. After these
two innings both sides frightened
up and played faultless ball.
Brilliant Plays
The local nine certainly caught
the fancy of the fans by the
way they handled themselves on
The diamond. Each player fin
ished without an error and their
pegging was perfect. The lineup
was a peach and deserved q much
larger attendance.
What's the Matter With Red
wood Falls?
1t has been noticeable that the
people here have not been tuin-
ing out as strong as was eX-
pected. The outside attendance
almost equals that Of the local
patronage. This is not as it
should be. The home attend
ance should be again as big as
the visitors. No man or woman
ought to fee ashamed to attend
the great American game Of ball.
1t is great sport and calls for
keen intelligence, good judgment
and high standing Of athletics.
It's a game everyone should feel
proud of seeing and Of teaching
their children to play.
Everybody Well Pleased
1t is needless to say that the
local nine is highly elated in de-
feating such a strong team as
Olivia. It is also we'll to say
that every man on the team
played his best, thus making the
victory possible. Last Sundays
infeld was a dandy and it was
we'll backed by the outfeld. The
lineup was as follows:

In the opening clash the Shamrocks
