Concert Is Successful

1t is seldom, indeed, that a
public entertainment solicits so
much favorable comment as the
concert given by the Scenic City
Band, at the Armory Wednes-
day evening. A large and ap-
preciative audience was present
and every selection called forth
prolonged applause. The concert
was given to test public senti-
ment in regard to the mainte-
nance Of a band and from the
enthusiasm shown there seems
little doubt but that the neces-
sary support will be given. Sen.
Clague addressed the audience
after the concert and he voiced
the sentiments Of all when he
said that under the able leader
ship of A. H. Fish the band had
made phenomenal progress dur
ing the five weeks since its Or
ganization and strongly urged
the citizens to "put shoulder
to the Wheel" and give a boost.
F. Hubbard also urged the pub
lie to be liberal in it's support.
The concert was such a success
that another one will be given
IN the near future.

cratic opponent. Schmahl's ma
jority was therefore $4,000, the
greatest ever given any candi-
date for political office in the
history of Minnesota.
Gov. Burnquist came in
good second with a total vote of
245,853, and a majority of 1872
737 over Dwyer, his Democratic
opponent, who received 93,115
votes. Bentall, the Socialist can
didate for governor, received a
total of 26,3O6, and Anderson,
Prohibitionist, was given 1885
votes. Johnson, industrial labor
candidate received only 5,476
votes.
A remarkable feature of the
election was the fact that all the
Republican candidates for state
office received majorities of over
one hundred thousand, which is
the more remarkable when it is
remembered that the state mar
rowly escaped joining the Will
son column.

Contest Now On
In Third District
c. G. Sasse Files Notice of Con-
test; Opponent Has Ma
jOrity of One

On Wednesday C. G.. Sasse,
through his attorney w. R. Wer-
ring, filed notice of contest with
the clerk of district court on the
vote for county commissioner in
this district.
The county canvassing board
declared Ed. Stefl, the present
incumbent, elected by a MAORI
ty of one vote, the totals being:
Steffl 347, Sasse 346 as stated
in last weeks Messenger.
After the official count Mr..
Sasse announced that he was
being urged by friends to con-
test the election and that he
was trying to ascertain how
many doubtful ballots there were
cast but that he would not con-
test unless he thought he had
a good chance to win.
The contest papers allege that
some ballots counted for Stef1
were marked for identification
and should be thrown out; some
unintelligible ballots were count
ed for Steffl; that some votes
for Sasse were unlawfully
thrown out.
1t also develops that there was
mixup in county ballots in
Paxton township, the ballots of
some other district being mixed
in. Eight of these were cast
before the discovery. Four votes
were even cast for Commission
er Gaffney of another district.
This same mixup in ballots
occurred in other precincts also,
but apparently was discovered
and the trouble remedied before
any of the wrong ballots were
.used.-Morgan Messenger.

Federal Road Aid
Asked For County
Three Counties Unite in Desig-
mating State Highways; Big
Improvement Sought

Redwood county commission
ers went to Window last Mon
day afternoon, there to meet
with the commissioners of Cot
tonwood and jackson counties
in the matter of getting federal
aid on state roads. The law re-
quires that the federal money
appropriated at the last session
of congress be expended on con-
Meeting state roads, at least this
is the opinion of the state high
way commission. In order to
get their share of the appropria-
ton the commissioners of the
three mentioned counties decided
at Mondays meeting to connect
the state roads and designate
the entire distance through the
counties, making a state road
all the way from the Iowa line
to the Canadian border.
Redwood county has already
designated all the road through
this county; Cottonwood coun-
ty has about fifteen miles to
build from a point about seven
miles north of Window to the
north line of the county, which
is at the south line of Sanborn
village limits; Jackson county
has about eight miles to build
to connect with the Cottonwood
county road.
The Cottonwood county COM
missioners voted to lay out the
road, and went over the field
Tuesday and expect to lay out
the route soon. The Jackson
county commissioners also fav-
ored completing their. road.
There were a large number
of Germantown farmers present
at the meeting Monday to plead
for the road to be built. Ger
mantown has not one mile of
state road, while the residents
thereof continue to pay their
share for building roads in 9TH
er parts of the county and state.
from which they receive very
little benefit. The roads in gen
eral throughout the township
are something fierce, made so by
the many hills, and it will be a
happy day for the farmers when
they can get on a good graveled
road with their heavy loads to
go to town.-Sanborn Sentinel.

noon; Big Game

Minnesota played Illinois on
November 4. Minnesota was de-

Illinois played Chicago on No

feated.
Minnesota played Chicago last
Saturday. Chicago was defeated.
Such is the way Big Nine foot
ball dope was upset.
Renville played Marshall on

feated.
Marshall played Redwood last
Saturday. Redwood was de-
feated.
Next Thursday Redwood plays
Renville. Will the local football
dope be upset in a similar man
ner as was the Big Nine dope?
That is the question local fans
are asking themselves.
The Game
In a game drawn out to in
terminable length by disputes
among the officials, playing a
team that outweighed them ten
pounds to the man, on a rough
foreign field the Redwood team
went down to defeat at the hands
of Marshall last Saturday by
score of 80 to IA.
Redwood received on the kick
off and plowed down the field
in true football style to a touch
down within the first three min
utes. With the exception of a
flash of speed at the end of the
first quarter, Redwood showed
no form until the last three min
utes of the game when they
scored their second touchdown.
On the kickoff after the first
touchdown Marshall received.
They began at once with for
ward passes and spread plays
that completely baffled the Red
wood team. Their greater height
and weight gave them decided
advantage in passes and line
plunges, and before many min
utes had elapsed they succeeded
in landing the oval behind the
goal line.
Here again, as in the Mankato
game, a tumble was very cost
. " to Redwood. They were driv-
en- to their own ten-yard line by
one of Marshail's long high
punts. In two long runs around
Marshall's left they brought the
pig skin within Marshall's 20
yard line. Here was their chance
% score either by touchdown
or kick, but on the second down
the ball was fumbled and cap
tured by Marshall. A long punt
brought Marshall out of danger.
Redwood put the ball in play
on her own 2O-yard line but lost
it on downs. Marshall then adj
vanced to Redwood's 8-yard line.
Here a dispute occurred between
the Referee and the umpire. The
umpire blew his whistle for off
side. On the instant the ball
was snapped. The referee then
blew his whistle to stop the
play. Marshall plunged for a
touchdown, but the referee re-
fused to call the play back.
Second Half
In the third quarter Redwood
opened up with some forward
passes, but the line, weakened
by Thompson's absence, was not
able to hold the Marshall for
wards and only two passes were
successful.
In the fourth quarter Red
wood showed again such football
style as they played against
Madison a week before and sue
ceeded in registering another
touchdown three mintes before
s the final whistle blew.
The lineup follows:
