weeks of gruellimg practice before
the opening of the schedule. which is

Letter Men Returning
Six or seven letter men will return
for this fall, including Gurnoe, Moline,
Standish, and probably Clanton and
Raab. Claflin, basketball star last
year, is planning to try for the grid
iron squad. He will bring with him
two stars from the Mondovi high.
New Richmond is to send at least
two classy luminaries from their high
school eleven Of last season, Nc
Andrews and Williams. McAndrews,
whose brother is a star on the osh-
kosh Normal team, was at st. Thorn
as last year. The McAndrews broth
ers may meet each other on opposing

to be here.

the husky Hanson, tower Oh

two others will come from the home
of Eggebrecht brothers, Schultz, ct. al.

lineman of ability.
Hank Smith, of River Falls, will be
with the Red & White.
Hudson, Clear Lake and Friedrich

two good men, and other communities

promising material.

indicate that the Red & White is to
glitter on the gridiron this season.

SAIL BOAT WRECKS
WHITE WAY POST

1t seems to be Hudson's lot to have
extraordinary things happen in an
extraordinary manner and what do
you suppose the latest is?
Wednesday morning at about nine
o'clock fifty-foot sailboat came sail
ing up Walnut street from Lake st.
Croix and upon attempting to tack up
Second street at the Chaplin Hall cor
ner it Rugged the shore too closely,
snr bbed itself against a White Way
post, which was partially wrecked.
The post itself was not so badly DAM
aged by the boat but the lamp was
smashed. That's high-water mark
in nautical tales-a sail boat knock
ing the globes off a lamp post on Hud-
sons main street. Not many towns
in the world can point to similar in
cidents in their history.
The boat is the property of Twin
City sailing club and was in tow of an
auto on it's way to Lake Geneva to
take part in the annual sailing re-
gatta to be held there the coming
week. The boat was mounted on a
four-wheeled trailer and was being
pulled by big Dodge truck. While
the driver of the truck was trying to
make the turn at the hotel corner he
misjudged his distance and the front
of the boat bumped the lamp post.
And that's the end of the story

FAIRBANKS GREATEST
PICTURE COMING

1.-The Three Musketeers," coming to
the Princess, September IL and ID,
is announced as the most gripping
and spectacular film ever produced by
Douglas Fairbanks.
Based on the universally read clas-
sic by Alexander Dumas, "The Three
Musketeers," and added to from the
Memoirs of D'Artagnan, this feature
is said to embody more that is adj
venturous, romantic and dramatic
than it has ever before been possible
to incorporate in film vehicle.
The feats of workmanship alone
in this picture are said to be worth
the price of admission. Added to that
are specially arranged prologue and
musical accompaniment written to
order for the production by Louis
Gottschalk, one of our best contem-
porary composers.
This picture comes to The Princess
following remarkable run in New
York where it was shown at the Ly-
ric Theatre and given the unanimous
approval of Broadway.
Fred Niblo, who directed Douglas
Fairbanks in "The Three Musket-
GERS" was formerly Cohan & Harris
star in the "speakies."

Brutal Attempt Made On the Life OF
r. D. Week, Slsyton
A most brutal and vicious attempt
at murder took place in Slayton last
Saturday afternoon, when Z. F. Ost-
heimer attempted to take the life OF
his landlord, F. d. Week.
Ostheimer for the past two years
has been tenant on one of the Week
farms, north Of Slayton. He has
given up the farm, to take effect
March /, and with Mr.. Week, was
settling for the past years work.
When told by Mr.. Week as to the
advisibility Of holding a sale in the
near future he replied he would SET
his own date, and when questioned
further he drew a sharp jack knife
from his pocket and struck MIR. week
on the forehead.
The blade of the knife penetrated
to the skull, chipping the outer skull
and severing an artery. The rush OF
blood blinded Mr.. Week, who at
tempted to protect himself. Three
men rushed to his assistance and
pulled the assailant from his victim.
Mr.. Week was rushed to the hospital
where his wounds were attended to.
One cut was found on the cheek ana
one cash on his hand, both ugly,
deep wounds. Mr.. Weeks arms
and back are badly cut and bruised.
Had it not been for the heavy over
coat and undercoat these injuries
would have been fatal. An examin-
alton of the knife showed that one
end of it had been broken in one oil
