BootIeQqers Arrested

Chief of Police Ole Westgaard, Pa
tr0lman Frank Fransein, Sheriff Bon
de and Deputy Sheriff Ernest R. o.
son made raids last night and made
several arrests of bootleggers and un-
desirable women visitors to our city.
To avoid holding them in Jail for a
long period, charges were brought
under the city ordinance this morn
ing and fines were assessed by Judge
Muller in the municipal court to the
amount of $685. Willmar is not a
healthy place for this kind of gentry
and we hope they will be taught to
stay away

was viciously kicked by one Of the
animals in quarrel with another
standing nearby. Andrew chaneed
to come between the two horses with

and was suddenly thrown to the
ground by swift kick of the most
gentle one intended for the other
horse. Ruddy was alone in the yard
but managed after five or ten min
utes to crank the car which stood
nearby. Before that he had lain
stunned and bleeding on the ground

able to scale the fence to reach the
car. He reached the Dawson Hospi-=
tai but was so weak that he was un-
able to stop the car but allowed it
to run against the curbing and was
found there by a pedestrian who as
sisted the young man up to the hos
pital. DR.. Dawson was compelled to
sew eight stitches in the lips and
three in the nose. The lower part
of the face was badly mangled and
several teeth dislocated and forced
to the rear of the mouth. Altho COM
is recovering rapidly and hopes to
have removed every trace Of the un-
fortunate Occurrance -

The Rodmans Write

To All Our Friends:
We wish to thank all our friends
for their many kindnesses and espe-
cially to those who rendered us the
surprise and good wishes to us be-
fore we departed for California. The
journey was pleasant and was rest
full for us. We were surprised to find
land around Turlock so productive.
Under the roof of leaves of a seven
year old tree there is room for two
teams with wagon loads. We found
brother Otto and his family in good
health. He owns large house sur
rounded with fruit trees and his ten.
ants, two Japanese families, live in
the two smaller houses which he
owns. The land around Turlock was
much like desert before it was ir
rigated, but now anything, even cot
ton, growing, looks to be a success
