Court Busy on
End Weeks Work
LONG CRIMINAL CALENDAR AD-
DED TO CASES ALREADY BE-
FORE JUDGE OLSEN.
INDICTED SAY mot GUILTY
MANY CASES SETTLED AND DIS
MISSED; TERM FULL OF IN
TEREST TO SPECTATORS.

District Court which opened here
Monday, October "a, opened Mon
day for its second week of work and
the prospects that it will continue for
three weeks more are excellent.
There were large number Of indict-
ments brought in by the grand jury
which was busy the most of last week,
and these indictments have added
greatly to the criminal calendar which
is the largest it has ever been. OF
the sixty-four civil cases which were
originally on the calendar Judge Oh
sen set seventeen cases for court trial
and thirty-four for trial by jury. The
Others were continued, dismissed, set
tied or otherwise disposed Of. Since
che first calling of the calendar two
new cases have been added; the case
of Judicial Ditch No. 26 which was
continued for one year and the case
of Stella Tillisch against A. E. Tillisch
which is set for court trial.
The following is the result of
Grand Jury indictments: Jos. Fischer
indicted on two counts for the sale OF
Intoxicating liquor pleaded guilty and
was fined two hundred dollars, also
given suspended jail sentence; Henry
Green was indicted on two counts; Ben
Roy was indicted for burglary, Mar
tin Ackman for perjury, Nick Heap
for larceny and selling liquor, Charles
Ahrens for selling liquor, and Ed.
Lechner for the desertion Of children.
All have pleaded not guilty and will
be tried, although it is anticipated in
one or two cases the plea may be
changed to guilty.
The case now before the court is
the case of Henrietta Holt against
Selmer Cole, an outgrowth of the
automobile accident near Belview
which occurred few years ago. This
case was expected to go to the jury
early this afternoon. Other cases of
considerable local interest are the case
of Torbert VS.. Stewart which was set
tied and dismissed; the case Of the
Home Realty Co. VS.. the Lauterbach
Bros. which was stricken from the
calendar; the appeal from probate
court in the VIM. d. Lines estate
which was settled and dismissed; Guy
v Howard VS.. julius Schmahl, settled;
C. B. Arveson VS.. Loken and Loken in
which the verdict was no cause for ac-
ton; Dora Fox VS.. her son and daugh-
ter-in-law in which the plaintiff was
given verdict Of $423: and Osher VS..
Bisher in which verdict of $99.5O
was rendered for the plaintiff. There
are still number of interesting cases
to be tried and there is no dearth OF
eager spectators in the court room
each day.

NeStOS Wins IN
North Dakota
INDEPENDENTS WIN 11,126 NAL
GRITTY IN EARLY COUNT; NON
PARTISANs DON'T VOTE.

North Dakota has junked Townley-
ism. It's voters have sent to the dis
card the states triumviate Of Nom
partisan League office holders. They
have sent the message to all corners
of the country yesterday that they are
through with socialist leaders and ra-
dical rule. Late returns Saturday
night from the North Dakota recall
election confirmed the earlier news of
a sweeping victory won in that great
agricultural state for sanity and sound
government.
Returns collected at Fargo from all
but 900 precincts out of 2,086 in the
state gave the following vote on gov-
Iernor: "a
R. A. Nestos, Independent LOG, 1872
Lynn j. Frazier, Nonpartisan 94,O66
Nestos' majority 11,126
The early Nestos lead of $1,000 had
been cut down by belated returns from,
the western "slope" counties, the Nom
partisan league strongholds. But the
swing away from Townleyism was ap-
parent even in the west, and victory
was assured not only for Mr.. Nestos:
but for his two associates on the inde-
pendent ticket. Initiated measures,
backed by the Independents, curbing
the frenzied financiering Of the league
administration, also seemed certain
to carry.
The Fargo Curriet News, official
paper of the Nonpartisan league in
North Dakota, last night conceded the
recall of Governor Frazier and the two
other state officials indorsed by the
league.
The voters who stood by the league
and its program through six statewide
battles at last became disillusioned.
disguised, sick at the disclosures OF
incompetence, extravaganza and in
some cases of venal selfshness, shown
by the men who had promised them a
new day" and deliverance from all
economic ills. They have taken in
their hands a weapon fashioned by
the league legislators, the recall, and
with it on Friday they smote their
radical chiefs hip and thigh.
"Hoist with their own petard," the
league rulers now have but one hope
left to prolong their lease on office.
That is to have the election declared
invalid. They have laid foundation
for court proceedings and their three
to two majority in the state supreme
court gives them some hope, but it
seems unlikely that the judges will set
aside the clear expression of popular
will.
The election results may be stated
briefly as follows:
Governor Lynn ]. Frazier, At
torney General William Lemke
and John N. Hagan, commissioner
of agriculture and labor are oust-
ed from office.
r. Al. Nestos is elected governor,
Sveinbjorn Johnson attorney gem
eral, and Joseph A. Kitchef,, COM
missioner of agriculture and la
Dor.
Important initiated laws appear
to have carried, carrying out part
of the new program announced by
the Independents. Minneapolis

Legion Wins
Two Big Games

FALL PREY TO LOCAL PIG
SKIN ARTISTS.
PILE Up BIG SCORES.
RENvILLE PROVES HERSELF
POOR SPORT; NEW PRAGUE
HERE NEXT SUNDAY.


field American Legion football team
came to Redwood Falls with a big
bunch Of boosters, clown band and
everything, to play the local Legion
team. Springfield received the kickoff
at the west goal and with the line
smashing Of Paffrath and Schmidt it
looked like they would score, but the
Redwood line strengthened and held
them for downs before they could go
over.
There was no score until the second
period when a forward pass from
Lamberton to j. Mason took the bah
over for touchdown which was pro-
tested. The argument lasted twenty
minutes, then in order to keep peace
in the family the ball was taken back
and put in play. In three line smashes
from this place the ball was carried
across the line for a touchdown.
The remainder of the game was
somewhat one sided, as the Redwood
team made gain after gain on line
smashes and passes. Springfield has
good team and during the first
quarter it looked as though the score
would be very small on either side.
The final score was Redwood 81,
Springfield 0.
This was a. benefit game for the
annual Salvation Army Appeal and
the crowd attending was large. Mem
bers Of the Legion from various parts
of the County were among the sidelin-
ers.
The Redwood Falls team motored to
Renville Sunday and took the rough
and ready team of that place down the
river for a score of 81 to 13. Red
wood Falls won the toss and received
the kickoff at a few minutes after
three o'clock, their objective being the
south goal. The game started off well
with a free-for-all battle started by
the sideliners who were always more
ready to give than receive black eyes.
The barrage lasted only short time
however and the maddened crowd was
Gained with no one ON the casualty
list. From this time on only few
harsh arguments took place, both on
the field and side lines.
The Renville team did not prove
strong enough for the local bunch, and
Redwood went up and down the field
for reported gains on line smashes and
forward passes. The FIRST half ended,
Redwood Falls 81 -RenvilIe O.
Renville's first touchdown came at
the beginning of the second half when
they started their shift play in opera
tion, ending up with forward pass.
Redwood scored one touchdown and
the third quarter ended with Redwood
40 Renville 6.
In the last quarter Redwood crossed
the goal line twice and made two
kicks. In the last few minutes Of
play one of the Renville players EN-
erged from the crowd on the sideline,
caught forward pass and went for q
touchdown. They kicked goal and the
game ended Redwood 54-Renville 13,
The crowd was one of the most un-
sportsman like crowds the local peo-
pie have seen for years.

of the fastest teams in the state SC
everyone is asked to turn out and see
