Redwood Wins
Second Contest
SECOND GAME BETWEEN LUCAN
REDWOOD WHIST PLAYERS
AT COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Lucan- Redwood whist players
staged second tournament last We'd
nesday evening at the Commercial
Club rooms in Redwood Falls, the Red
wood players being the hosts. The
game started shortly after nine and
every man was playing his best to
win. Lucan had to hold her laurels
as victors in the first contest while
Redwood had defeat to wipe out.
From the moment that the master
of ceremonies announced "cut cards" I"
the game progressed with a vim. AS
J. K Lamberton, the official scere
keeper, gave the result of each game,
it showed that the players were put
ting into the game everything they
knew about Norwegian Withstand a
few stunts that Hoyle overlooked. 1t
was Lucan in the lead and then Red
wood, and this closeness was maintain
ed to the end.
However, towards the close of the
session the excitement grew more
tense. Only four tables remained to
finish. The score was tied. Specta
tors and players keenly watched the
result of each hand played. At the
front of the room Spencer and Spencer
were hotly engaged in close finish,
but when the echo Of Spencer Jr-'s
knuckles as they whacked the table
had died away, Redwood scored again
and took the lead. A second later two
Lucan players, Schmiesing and
Schmiesing cracked the mahogany for
a win, and tied the score.
Weldon and Geroy were the next two
players in the limelight and around
whom the crowd packed eight deep.
Everybody was expeetant. Their bat
ting for that game was close. They
were engaged with two of Lucan's
master players, namely, Dickerson and
Wurscher. 1t was nip and tuck all
along the line until the final hand
was dealt, and Redwood won. Weldon
turned the tide when he coolly remark
ed, "Well, Joe, they are heavy on the
edges; it's grand"
Other players who were in on the

Big Calendar
Awaits Court
CIVIL CASES AND
HEAVY CRIMINAL WORK FOR
COURT TERM, APRIL 1S.

The court calendar for the district
court term which opens in Redwood
Falls April 1S is, as Clerk of Court
W. G. Weldon says, "a beaner," con-
tanning sixty-four civil cases and pros
poets are good for at least one week
of heavy criminal cases. With only
eleven days for the court term it looks
as though Judge Olsen and his asso-
ciates will have busy session-with
something left over for next time.
The session will also be varied en-
ol1gh to make it extremely interesting
since the cases range all the way from
a breach Of promise suit up and down
the line The first twenty-four case
are continued cases from last term.
What disposition will be made Of the
long calendar is a matter for con-
lecture on the part of those who are
personally interested and who know
that it will be impossible to hear such
a large number of eases in the time at
the Courts disposal. Thus far there
are but two cases on the criminal cal
endar but several matters await in
vestigation by the grand jury and
it is POSSIBLE that indictments may
be made.

side at Morton. He, however, had
been making his home with the family
of his uncle who live east of Redwood

Cured. He and his family are new
comers in this section but so far as is
known the young man had few enc

of the most cold blooded and horrible
that has come to this community for
several years and as great shock to
the residents of this section Of the

Special Meetings
Close Sunday
CHAPLAIN CROFT CLOSES CAM
PAIGN AT METHODIST CHURCH;
MEETINGS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

The special meetings which have
been held in the M. E. church during
past three weeks, closed Sunday night
Chaplain Croft, who has been doing
the preaching for the last two weeks
preached two powerful sermons or
Sunday. All those who heard him
were much impressed with the logic
and thought of his subject matter
while his earnestness and force Of de.
livery and his aptness in the use OF
illustrations, held the attention of his
audience throughout.
While the meetings have in no way
been spectacular, they have done a
great amount of good. There will be
some additions to the church on ac-
count of them, but the greatest am
ount of good done has been a stirring
up of many of the people who are al
ready Christians SO that they are de-
sirous of being more active in Gods
work. The Church has had genuine
revival.
The Chorus Choir was great help
to the services. The young people
were faithful and the singing was an
important part of each nights pro-
gram. The orchestra also added much
to the strength of the musical part OF
the meetings and the young people
who played are to be highly commend
ed for their faithfulness and zeal. The
Reverend Burdette L. Main, Minister
of the Church was the musical dlrec-
tor.
The attendance was good and the in
terest increased as the meetings pro-
gressed. The special nights were a
success. Quite rivalry was mani
tested between the men and the wo-
men on their special nights but the
women won by 81 people more than
were out on mems night.
Saturday night Chaplain Croft de-
livered his lecture, "By-Products OF
the World War" There was large
attendance and many favorable COM
ments were heard concerning this ad-
dress. The lecture was replete with
illustrations from the war and from
history. Mr.. Croft spoke of how Am
erica has come to put new valuation
of our Allies; how the Allies have
come to put new valuation on Amer
lea; and how we have come to put a
new valuation on our enemy. The most
of the things he said relative to Ger
many's part in the war were not very
complimentary to Germany, but he
told the truth, and truths that are not
to be easily forgotten.
The people of the MetnodlsI Episco-
pal Church in Redwood Falls will al
ways hold warm place in their
hearts for Chaplain Croft and will
gladly welcome him back to some fu-
ture time.
Mr.. Croft has returned to his home
in Duluth, where he is pastor Of En-
dion Methodist Episcopal Church
