NOT COMPLETE ALL CASES
ON CALENDAR.

After four weeks of hard work, the
October term of District Court ended
last Friday with much work still uTl-
done The cases are several cases
which for various reasons are continu-
ed until the next term and many court
cases which will be heard before Judge

Of the cases disposed of last week
the case of Lorena de Long against
DR.. Brey of Wabasso was the most
important, this being the first mall
practice case on the calendar for many
years. Mrs De Long was given a
verdict of one thousand dollars for
damages suffered by her through al
legged neglect.
Another case was the case of the
Receiver of the Farmers Elevator OF
Walnut Grove against Axel Bondeson,
this being one of several cases arising
through the failure of the Elevator
Company. The verdict returned was
No Cause of Action. In all probable
ity this case will be appealed.

accident which occurred while he was
a passenger in Mr.. Nelson's car. The

One Of the most attractive and best
stocked stores in Redwood Falls is
the Golden Rule which has recently
been rearranged and redecorated. A
formal opening of the "new" store
was held last Tuesday evening. Dur
ing two hours time the store was Wis
tied by between twelve and fifteen
hundred persons, all of whom were
most appreciative of the many changes
which add to the customers convent
ence as we'll as to the appearance OF
the building. Each lady who called
was presented with flower by Mr..
and Mrs. l.. E.. Backer, the proprietors
of the store The interior of the store
is now resplendent with mahogany fin
ished wood work, shelving, etc. and
glass candy cases of an approved, and
sanitary type The partition at the
rear of the store has been removed
and this gives much additional light
and an appearance of greater space.
Shelves for the reserve stock have also
all been fitted with doors, this adding
greatly to the neat appearance OF the
store as well as protecting the stock.
Mr.. Backer has large stock of var
iety goods and his present arrange
ment and opportunities for display
auger well for the holiday trade Of the
next few weeks as well as for the

REDWOOD WEDNESDAY, NOV 22, 1922
County Captures
. Championships
JUNIOR LIVE STOCK SHOW
BRINGS NEW HONORS TO
REDWOOD COUNTY.

Redwood County came back from
the Junior Stock Show at South Saint
Paul last week with two champions
to add to the long list of honors won
in former years by the boys and girls
of Redwood County. Terrence l..
Hagen of Belview had the Grand
Champion hog and Cletus Riordan OF
Lamberton had the champion among
the many Shorthorn yearlings shown.
His calf also took the second prize
in the yearling contest. First place
in the show was won by JOS. Isaksel
of Springfield with his yearling Here
ford
In every department this show
was greater than its predecessors.
Probably the most outstanding feature
was the record breaking prices paid
by bidders for the average animal, as
well as for the prize winners.
The grade Hereford, with which
Joe Isaksen of Springfield won the
grand championship in the calf class,
sold to a st. Paul store for rs cents
a pound. Last year, the champion
sold for so cents. Taking into con-
sideration his prize money, Joe will
realize nearly $500 on his calf.
The champion lamb, entered by
Raymond Sullivan, New Prague, sold
for So a pound. The champion pig,
fed by Terrance L. Hagen of Belview,
brought so cents a pound.
The 210 calves sold for an average
price of 14,5 cents pound. The aver
age price brought by the 81 pigs was
1878 cents pound; 80 lambs averag
ed 1856 cents a pound.
Boys and girls from 10 counties in
the state who entered animals in the
show had the worth of "stick-to.it,
tiveness" well demonstrated in the
Judging ring, when Joe Isaksen's anim-
al was finally declared the grand
champion. Joe had entries in two
previous shows. Two years ago, he
was in seventh place and last year in
seventeenth, but came back this year
to win with a better calf and better
understanding of the work, due to
his previous defeats. "I'm gonna do
like Joe did, was the slogan of every
youngster when the show closed.

Cast Plays at
Iamberton Sat.
HURRY! HURRY! HURRY PRE-
SENTED AT LAMBERTON
SCHOOL SATURDAY NIGHT.

The play Hurry! Hurry. Hurry!" "
was presented at the Lamberton High
School Saturday evening, November
Is by the students of the Redwood
Falls High School. The cast includ-
ing Howard Whitconb, Lilah Marvin,
Clifford Reynolds, Lois Ball, Everett
Fuhr, Mildred Tout, Jack Wilson,
Alvin Bittrich, Margaret Brammer,
the two stage managers, Russell Reyn-
olds, and Edward Mason, the prompt
er, Miss Hewitt, and the coach, Miss
Ames, left Redwood Falls in a bus
Saturday noon at twelve O'Clock.
They arrived there about one thirty,
going to the school house immediate
ly to prepare for the evening perform
ance. After collecting the rest Of the
properties and arranging them, dress
rehearsal was held, giving the cast
an opportunity to become accustomed
to the strange stage. At five thirty
they went to the Roland's Restaurant
for supper, after which they returned
to the school house to put on the fin
ishing touches for the evening per-
formance.
At eight O'Clock sharp the evenings
entertainment began. Clifford Reyn-
olds played few numbers on the
piano and then the play began. Be
tween Act | and II Miss Ames sang
two songs and between Act II and III
Miss Hewitt gave two readings. Each
member of the cast played his part
admirably and Ted Stones efforts, as
usual, received much laughter and
applause.
According to all the comments that
were made after the evenings per-
.fermance was ended, the only conclu-
.sions that could be drawn are that the
efforts of the Redwood Falls group
proved to be very successful and the
results were worth while. Superin
he had seen this same play three times
before and that this one was the best
amateur production he had witnessed.
He, also remarked, as did others, that
he felt assured that every member
of the audience went away we'll sat
isfied.
On the way home, the group en-
joyed delicious lunch at the home
of Vivian Anderson which served as
a delightful finishing touch to the trip.
Even though the financial profit was
not great, due to the bad weather, the
good practical experience that each
member of the group obtained, and
the establishment of good reputation
as well as a mutual friendship with
the Lamberton High School, made the
trip a successful as we'll as an enjoy
able one.

American Legion team. This game
will close the season which has been
one of wonderful success for the Red
wood team.
The following history concerning
the individuals of the visiting team
proves them all to be men OF wide

ground of many big games.

School Star.
Harold Hanson was West High All
City Tackle, also played with the

misses to be mighty one. The Red

able expense in order to bring this
aggregation of stars to Redwood Falls
and they have right to expect that

Redwood Team
Beats Marshall
SATURDAY GAME WON BY
SCORE OF 26 TO 10 FOR
REDWOOD.

local grid last Saturday and when the
smoke all cleared up Redwood had rs
points chalked up while Marshall could
only account for ten.
Redwood received and with some
brilliant line plunging by Athey and
Laudon together with two nifty end
runs by Peavey, ploWed straight down
the field for a touchdown. Attempt
at drop kick in the try for point failed
and the score stood to 0. Marshall
received and made few yards on a
fake run off a punt formation. Red
wood held them for downs in the cent
er of the field and they punted to our
twenty yard line. The first quarter
ended here.
The second quarter was all Redwood.
The Marshall line was paper to the
Redwood backs and they ploWed
through for from to 10 yards at a
plunge. The tackles opened up gigan-
tic holes and play after play was sent
through them for big gains. The
game was showed up little here be-
cause of injuries on both teams. Root
suffered bad cut over the eye and
played the rest of the game with one
eye closed. Laudon hurt his ribs and
last quarter Peavey was bothered
with his leg, which has been injured
all season, and had to be taken out in
men were injured also but the two
teams were playing clean football.
The home lads made the first touch
down of this quarter easy but the
second was a more difficult PROPOSE
ton. The ball was worked up to the
one yard line and with goal to make
and fourth down, Peavey used his head
and pulled a fake play which his fleet
halls perfected for a touchdown.
Peavey, dropkicked both goals in fine
shape. The half ended with the score
20 to 0, and the ball again in Redwoods
possession and headed for a touch
down.
The second half was little more
even. Redwood scored in the third
quarter by blowing the line but at
tempt to drop kick failed Marshall
completed a neat pass in the fourth
quarter and brought the ball within
scoring distance. A drop kick was
put over counting points. 1t was
then Redwoods ball on the twenty
yard line. A tumble gave the ball
again to Marshall but they were held
three downs and on the fourth they
played man behind the full back who
was drop kicking, making him on side.
The goal was missed and this on side
man recovered it over the goal line
after a kid had thrown the ball back
on the field. Corbet, at safety didn't
know the rules as to the play and
didn't try to recover the ball. The
accident" however, gave Marshall Il
touchdown and they made the extra
point on drop kick. The game ended
at this point, 26 to 10 in our favor.
This was the last game for Captain
Peavey, Root, Athey, Laudon, Bur-
meister, and Kolbet, and they played
like fighting fools" Marshall was
decidedly outplayed in every phase of
the game.
