BUILT NEW HOMES
Mankato Contractors Do Some Ex-

Mankato Contractors Do Some Elk
eelIent Work At Redwood
Mankato contractors have been
busy this season helping TO swell
the number OF fine residences In
Redwood Falls. Just recently a
number Of fine houses have been
completed in that city. and were
occupied December l. The erection
Of the new homes has greatly re-
lieved the housing situation in that
city. Ten new buildings have been
added during the summer. Among the
Mankato contractors who were
awarded contracts for construction
were: Bergstrom & Helgren, Lun-
deem Brothers and L. T. Wilson.
The Redwood Falls Gazette has
the following to say in Isgard to
the efficient work Of Bergstrom &
Helgren:
1.-THE work of all phases of the
construction was marked by fine
cooperation between the various
heads of departments and with the
contractor in charge, Mr.. Helgren.
That this condition existed is In a
large measure due to Mr.. Helgren's
careful, thorough and tactful super
vision and much Of the credit for
this is due him. One Of the most ex-
perienced of the local carpenters
states that these ten houses show
the best construction throughout of
any dwelling built here within the
past twenty years. Redwood Falls
assuredly has every reason to be
proud Of this new addition to its
residence section"

Calling of Petit Jury; Case Of State
Va. Gunder Klolberq
The Blue Earth district court Of the
sixth judicial district opened at 10
a. m. this morning with the calling
of the petit jury. The case of the
State OF Minnesota against Gunder
Kjolberg with Miss Grace Kareles
as the complaining witness was the
first case on the docket.
Judge w. L. Comstock at the
opening of court announced that the
criminal calendar for the term was
set over until Wednesday, Decem-
Der IL.
Judge Comstock ruled that the
amendment to the complaint was
admissible and quashed the motion
of Attorney J. w. Schmidt, counsel
for the defendant, that the case be
dismissed because the complaint
stated no cause for action or the
offense alleged to have been COM
mitted. The grounds for dismissal
were also laid upon the fact that
defendant was not permitted to
have all the evidence of the COM
planning witness entered in the ITO
liminary hearing in municipal court.
The case involves a bastardy
charge against Kjolberg. alleging
that he is the father of the illigiti-
mate child born to the complaining
witness. The jury was being drawn
when court recessed at noon. In his
instructions to the petit jury panel
judge Comstock asked whether any
member of the jury belonged to an
organization that pretended to mako
It's own laws.
