COOnS Get Into
Trouble With Booze
Member Of Company L Given
Whisky; Robbed of Thirty
Dollars

Four colored people, three men
and woman, got into serious
trouble Monday night through
neglecting to remember that any
one wearing Uncle Sans uni
form must not be sold liquor or
given liquor. Private Schlick was
the victim and but for the n
reference Of Sergeant Harry
Warner, Private Lester King
and other members Of Company
+ might have Jared badly. As
Sergeant Warner told the story
today, the boys Of the Company
were having lunch at Hotel Rich
ard early Tuesday morning and
noticed one Of the colored men
putting whisky into the saucer
Of Private Schlick and then pour
ing it into his cup, repeating the
same operation with his own
coffee. Later the two drank to-
gether ON the outside platform
near the hotel and one of the
boys remarked that Schlick had
a roll' and they had better
watch him.
SO when the colored persons
disappeared and Schlick also,
Sergeant Warner went to the
door Of the room occupied by
one Of the strangers and his
wife. He called for Schlick sew
eral times but getting no re-
Spouse, he remarked loudly
enough for those inside to hear,
that he would shoot his way in.
The door was then opened and
Schlick was To be seen on the
bed, ia q practically unconscious
condition. After some further
parley with the coons, Sergeant

Let's All Go" to Biggest
County Fair In Minnesota
PROSPECTS INDICATE BIGGEST FAIR EVER HELD HERE:
LASTS UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT WITH SOMETHING
DOING EVERY MINUTE
SPLENDID NIGHT SHOWS
DISPLAYS BIGGER THAN EVER; SCHOOL CHILDREN TO
BAKE AND CAN WEDNESDAY, CHILDRENS DAY,
AT SCHOOL BUILDING

The biggest county fair Red
wood County has ever known,
opened Tuesday and will con-
tinue Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, of this week. AT least
the prospects for the biggest fair
are very plain; given good wealth
er for the remainder of the week
it is predicted that at least ten
thousand people will attend. And
they will find better exhibits,
better attractions and amuse-
ments and better races than have
ever been presented to them be-
fore.
Stock Fine.
All day Tuesday the exhibits
Of farm and household products,
farm stock, etc., came pouring
in, keeping Secretary Everett
and his staff hard at work see
ing they were properly entered
and placed. The exhibit Of farm
stock is going to be exception
ally fine. One of the big attrac-
lions to cattle raisers is the
splendid string of Scotch Short
horns brought from Lyon Coun-
ty by B. T. Reese of Marshall,
who has thirteen head here. All
these animals are wonderful
specimens, one thirteen months
old calf, Ringmaster's Type,
weighing 1,200 pounds.
The famous herd of imported
Brown Swiss owned by Neu-
sc1fwander and Son were also in
the barns as early as Monday
night, as were also the Kenney
and the Gold herds of Holstein.
Other herds and single animals
for which the county is famous
were brought in later. It was
found necessary early Tuesday
to remove some of the cattle to
q large tent in order to accom-
modate the large number of race
horses and "A. S. Kenney and w.
H. Gold kindly consented to al
low their herds to be put in the
tent. Very fine displays Of hogs
will also be on the grounds and
several entries Of very fine horse
and sheep are also expected.

Company LIS period of anxious
watchful waiting of two months
duration is over. Tided over
ruinor after rumor as to time of
departure from Redwood Falls
for Camp Cody at Deming, New
Mexico, the company is to be no
longer cheated out of an actual
chance to get away. Monday af-
ternoon Major Hingeley at Fari-
bault informed Captain Clement
that the regiment had finally
been ordered South, and that
Company L was scheduled to
leave on a Berlin" special over
the Northwestern route at 10
o'clock Thursday morning. These
orders nave been anticipated
since last Thursday when it be-
came known that the War De-
partment had ordered railroads
to mobilize equipment for NOV
ing the Second regiment. Safe
to say that the orders were re-
ceived with great enthusiasm. It
was to have been hoped the de-
parture might have been delayed
through Friday, thus keeping
the company here for the fair,
but as far as members of the
company are concerned there is
no evidence of regrets. Every

Football Opens Season


The football season opened last
Saturday with game against
New Ulm in which Redwood Falls
was the victor, score z to 0.
Though New Ulm was supposed
to be dark horse yet she proved
some strenuous resistance to the
local team.
Of our own team we can only
say we are well satisfied consid-
ering the lack Of experience of
the men with the game. Though
practically all the line was of no
experience whatever, yet they
fought with that grit and deter
minatiOn which will prove effect
ual against our strongest OPP
ponents when they get football
science added to their spirit and
fight. The back field was slow
and at times seemed to carry
the ball loosely, but we all ex-
pect this in the early season.
The coach says he really is we'll

| not his first visit here however,
as he was here several years ago
and did a work similar to what
he is doing now, but not SO ex-
tensive. Mr.. Werring is q neph-
ew of Mrs. John Knudson and q
cousin Of Attorney Wayne Wer-
ring of Morgan.

Warner got in touch with Police
man Byram, and the occupants
of the room where Schlick was
found and the two other mem
bers of the party were taken to
the jail. Schlick was relieved
of $50, however, before the res
cue was made.
They were given a hearing
early Tuesday afternoon and the
chief miscreant will be handed
over to the federal government
to deal with. The woman was
fined $1,000 and costs, and in
vited to leave town. The other
two men were not fined but their
presence is no longer desired
about town, and they will be
closely watched until they get

County To Buy Three Miles of Pike

A delegation of citizens from New
Windsor appeared before the County
commissioners on Monday and asked
the commissioners to buy part of the
Liberty pike running from New Wind
sor to the Frederick county line
After hearing the proposition pre-
scented by the gentlemen the Commits
sioners consented to buy the part OF
the pike. The distance is about three
miles.
AS soon as the agreement can be
made ready and signed the pike will
be taken over by the county. This
will do away with the last toll road
running through this county. The
only toll gate in the county will be at
Uniontown, where a small toll is paid
for stretch of pike on the Union
town road.
