tuesday Football
Score Is 90
SPRINGFIELD AND REDWOOD
FALLS HAVE INTERESTING
GAME TUESDAY
RETURN GAME PLANNED
STRAIGHT FOOTBALL PLAYED AS
SNOW AND ICE MADE OPEN
GAME IMPOSSIBLE

Before large crowd composed
mostly of men, the Redwood boys
tried to add another game to their
string of victories Tuesday at the
fair grounds when they had the high
school team of Springfield as their
opponents. But the weather man
dropped couple of inches of snow
on the field and coat of ice on the
ball, making it almost impossible to
run. or to hold the ball Under these
conditions it was impossible to play
open so both teams played straight
football with Redwood having the
ball most of the time
Springfield had seen Redwood play
and were putting everything against
the right side OF the line. consequent
ly Redwood's gains came off the left
side. Captain Stewart making many
spectacular runs only to tumble and
lose the bali when touchdown was
in sight.
In the last quarter Redwood lost
the ball on Springfeld's 3-yard line.
Two downs remained and it seemed
certain that Redwood would score
but such was not the case and the
result was 90 score. During the last
quarter, after Redwood lost the ball
near Springfeld's goal, both sides re-
sorted to punting, Springfield max
ing the longest kicks.
RedwOod's lineup:
r. e. Welch.
L. e. McDougall
r. T.. Pryor.
L. 7. Lauterbach.
r. G. Whittet.
L. G. Whitcomb.
C. Novak.
G.. Wilcox
L. H. Mason.
r. III. Stewart (Captain)
F. Schultz.
Substitutes: Scott for Welch, Smith
/, for Novak, Welch for McDougall, Nc
: Dougall for Whitcomb.
Captain Nelson of the Springfield
team was easily the star of that team.
He punted well and made most of
Springfield's gains The whole Spring
field team played a good clean game
and plans are now under way to have
these teams meet again; this game
to be played at Springfield and if
possible Saturday, November %.

Mrs. W. Maurer
Takes Her Life
YOUNG WOMAN KILLS HERSELF
By SHOOTING LATE SATUR-
DAY OR EARLY SUNDAY
NO CAUSE KNOWN
BABY LEFT ALONE WITH DEAD
UNTIL DISCOVERED

That death had visited the home
of VS.. Maurer Of Redwood Falls
was discovered Sunday afternoon by
Mrs. George Lamphere who called at
the Maurer home. Mrs Lamphere
found the body of Mrs. Maurer lie
ing on the floor of her bedroom with
a bullet hole through the temple and
apparently death had occurred sew
eral hours before. The little daugh-
ter Of Mf. and Mrs. Maurer was,
when found, sitting on the bed near
the body of her foster mother, ap-
parently unharmed except that she
was worried by her mothers silence
chill in the house in which there had
been no fire for several hours.
1t is impossible to tell from the
evidence In hand or from anything
the little girl can tell when the deed
occurred. Some of the neighbors are
sure that q light was visible in the
home Saturday night while others
are equally positive that there was
no light to be seen. The bedroom
was in its usual order and both Mrs.
Maurer and the child were wearing
their daytime clothes, showing that
the shooting was done either late
Saturday afternoon or sometime Sun
day Mrs. Maurer was seen about
the home Saturday
Mr.. Maurer, who left last week on
hunting expedition in northern Min
nesota, was Immediately reached by
telegraph and was expected to arrive
here Tuesday night. The county Cor
oner was called as soon as the body
was found Sunday and the regular
inquest will be held Thursday. Fu-
neral arrangements will be announced
later
Neighbors and friends of Mrs.
Maurer are at loss to account for
the taking of her life and there has
been some suggestion of murder. The
matter will be thoroughly taken up
at the time of the inquest. Mrs.
Maurer was known to have been Ill
Friday and Saturday from an attack
of temporary indigestion, but fur
ther than this was all right, SO far
as was known. There was appar-
entity no reason for such an act on
her part and it is only explainable
by an attack of sudden insanity. She
had evidently stood before the mir
ror in her bedroom, put the revolver
to her right temple and fired. There.
was no sign Of struggle, death hay-
ing come Instantly.
Mrs. Maurer came here with her
husband about FIVE years ago and.
during her life here has been seen.
little outside her own horle and her
own neighborhood. Her neighbors
speak in high terms of her and es-
nacially of the care and attention
she has lavished upon the little girl
to whom she has been a mother since
the child was few months old. She
was : very decidedly keeping
woman, but was on friendly terms
with the people of the neighborhood
in which she lived and those who
knew her best find it impossible to
discover any motive for her taking
of her own life in this manner.

WabassO Girl
Commits Suicide
JUMPS INTO I, ClSTERN EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING; is FOUND
AFTER LONG SEARCH
FUNERAL TUESDAY,
WAS ALONE WITH SISTER; NO
CAUSE FOR DEED DISCOV-
Erred UP TO PRESENT

Miss Marie Georgius of Wabasso
committed suicide by drowning at an
early hour Sunday morning, Novem-
Der 16. Miss .Georgius was alone in
the house with her sister, Miss Ella
Georgius. Saturday night and was
missed by the sister about seven
O'Clock Sunday morning. Search was
MADE by the sister and several inti-
mate friends and finally Rev. Arndt
who was assisting in the search,
lifted the lid of the cistern from
which he noticed that the stone had
been rolled. This disclosed the body
Of the girl who had apparently been
dead about an hour and half when
found, She was partly dressed and
had thrown her cloak over her un-
derclothing. 1t is apparent that the
deed was deliberate as she had rolled
the stone from the cistern lid. She
was apparently in good health and
spirits at the time of her retirement
between eleven and twelve o'clock
Saturday night. No motive for the
deed has been definitely found and
her friends are at a loss how to
account for it.
Miss Georgius was about twenty
SIX wears or age, having been born
April 6. 1893. She had lived prac-
ticalIy all her life in the vicinity of
Wabasso, moving into the village from
an djacent farm with the other mem
bers of her family few years ago.
Since the death of her mother, Mrs.
Augusta Georgius, who died last fall,
the two young ladies have lived alone
in the home, Miss Ella coming home
each Friday night from the school
where she is teaching. During the
week Miss Marie has lived alone,
spending her working hours at the
postoffice where she has been en-
ployed for some time.

Christmas Seal

REDWOOD COUNTY is GETTING
READY FOR BIG SALE OF
RED CROSS SEALS
SALE DECEMBER / TO 10
COUNTY ORGANIZATION COM.
NPLETE; HELP THESE MEN TO
HELP HEALTH CONDITIONS

For several weeks Redwood coun-
| ty residents have been hearing more
or less about the 1919 Christmas sale
of Red Cross seals which is to be
made from December l to December
10. The money derived from this
sale is the source, and the only source
of funds for the fighting of the
dreaded White Plague tuberculosis
lin Minnesota. A part of the net
proceeds are sent to headquarters to
be used in the state and national
fight against this disease, but great
share of it is to be spent within the
boundaries of Redwood county, under
the direction of the men and women
forming the Redwood County Public
Health Association. Thus each seal
purchased means just so much done
for the benefit of our own people-in
many cases for members of our own
family.
The plan of the sale will be given
soon and the Gazette bespeaks for
the workers the aid of every think
ing person in this great undertaking.
The following county organization
has been perfected and the integrity
of the men who have consented to
"carry on" this big work is sufficient
guarantee of the great worth of the
enterprise. They should be given un-
limited support and assistance by ev-
cry resident of the county.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE OPENS
BIC BASE BALL
Omitted Press serxicel


SAN FRANCISCO, April 18.-Not
that Charley, Del, Eddie or Walter
lack managerial ability, but it looks
a "ball" is going to win the Coast
league pennant this season.
For instance, according to Tom
Laird, baseball authority, there is Bill
Killefer of Los Angeles, whose club
is supposed go be stronger than any
at the present time. And is Bill Kile-
fer's team can't turn the trick, per-
'haps Bill Essick's can. And should
Bill Killefer's and Bill Essick's teams
fail to stick at the top, there is no
telling what Bill Rodgers aggrega-
tion might accomplish.
And last, and almost least, is Bill
Clymer, who has just entered the
league as the manager of the Seattle
club. Of course, Bill got off to bad
start for the first week, but so did
the allies.
theoretically speaking, continues
Laird, what chance has a Charley,
Walter, Del or Eddie got against four
Bills.

CHINA OPPOSES JAPAN IN ORIENT
Omitted Pres. Service,

PARIS, April 18.-Today the "Big
Four" resumed consideration of the
claims of Italy for territory. It is
reported that Premier Orlando, acting
on behalf of Italy, delivered the "Big
Four" what amounted to an ultima
tum, declaring that the pact Of Lon
don, by which as reward for en-
tering the war, Italy was granted GER
tain territorial concessions, is still in
full force and effect. The position
of Mr.. Orlando is that the allies hav-
ing agreed one with another, and with
all the rest, that one nation shall not
make peace unless all the others join
therein will prvent peace bing made
without Italy getting what she wants.
It lis reported that Mr.. Orlando in
formed the "The Big Four" that Italy
will threaten to withdraw from the
treaty, and conference, and will re-
fuse to sign the treaty, and then try
to enforce the agreement made at
London against any of the allies max
ing peace without all signing.
President Wilson, it is sad, takes
the position that the pact Of London
was abrogated when the armistice
was signed.
If the Italians are disposed of then
the japanese will present the next
stumbling block.
While apparently the Japanese are
still without instructions from Toxic
on their racial eqaulity demands, they
are ready to press claims for receg-
milton of their concession in the Shan
tung province, which the Chinese op-
pose most bittery.

Here's the story: At the Palace of
Sweets, about midnight last night,
Mr.. Earl D. Hammack, proprietor,
had a number of worlmen engaged
in installing new soda water and
ice cream stand.
There was no little pounding and
noise.
Overhead sleepers in the Eontezu-
ma Hotel took exceptions. They
wanted the noise stopped SO they could
sleep.
They called Don Franklin, one of
the hotel proprietors, and urged him
to exercise his authority anS stop che
noise. At first Mr. Franklin was
disposed to ignore the demands of his
guests, so he proceeded at once to
make demand that the noise be stop
ped. Finding no attention paid to his
demand, Mr.. Franklin called in the
police, and in response to his call
Officer Harold Brown was sent over
to keep the peace.
Mr.. Brown ordered Mr.. Hammack
to desist-which was done. First,
however, he called Attorney Frank
J. Barry on the phone to get legal
opinion. AS the work was stopped,
quiet reigning supreme, it is believed
that Mr.. Barry advised his client to
let the lodgers at the Montezuma
sleep on.
