Another Judge
Is Needed
RECOMMENDED BILL WOULD
RELIEVE JUDGE /. N. OLSEN
OF TOO-HEAvY DUTIES

The senate judiciary committee has
recommended for passage a bill which
would give the ninth judicial district
another judge. Under amendments
adopted, the additional Judge
would be required to spend at
least thirty days of each year
holding court in the eighth and
thirteenth judicial districts, this is
equivalent to one term of court in
each of these districts. This would
relieve the stress in each.
The Ninth district comprises the
counties of Nicoflet, Brown, Redwood,
Lyon and Lincoln.
The Eighth district is east and
north of the Ninth district and is
composed OF LIE Sueur, Scott, Sibley,
Mcleod and Carver counties, while
the Thirteenth district is south of the
ninth district and comprises the coun-
ties of Cottonwood, Murray, Mobiles,
Pipestone and Rock.
No additional judges have been au-
thorized in southern Minnesota in
twenty-five years, whereas in other
parts of the state a number of in
creases have been made So great has
the volume Of judicial business be-
come in the southern Minnesota dis
tricts that judges cannot handle the
work. This is especially true in the
Ninth district. During the past two
sessions of the state legislature, rem
edial legislation has been proposed to
relieve the situation in this district
but failed of passage for one reason
or another.
1t is hoped that the present legis-
lature will pass the proposed bill and
that Judge l. M. Olsen will thus be
relieved of some of the work of his
position.
1t is expected if the bill becomes
a law that new judge will be ap-
pointed from the western end of the
district.

{. HeCkIer Is
Chargedwith Theft
YOUNG MAN ARRESTED SUM-
DAY FOR STEALING HOGS
FROM MORGAN FARM

Clarence Heckler was arrested by
Sheriff Kise and his deputies early
Sunday morning having been found
with stolen hogs in his possession.
He was given hearing in Justice
court before Judge c.. F. Martin, Mon
day morning and bound over to the
Grand Jury. He is at present at the
County Jail and will in all probability
not be allowed out on bail.
Sheriff Kise was called about three
forty-fiye Sunday morning by Attor-
ney w. R. Werring of Morgan who
notified him that hogs were being
taken from the Werring- Johnson
farm near Morgan, the farm which
is being operated by Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Johnson who make their home
on it. Mr.. Johnson, who had had oc-
several times during the night, had
discovered man in the hog house as
well as wagon and team standing
outside and had Immediately notified
Mr. Werring who in turn notified Mr..
Kise.
At twenty minutes past four, Mr..
Kise with Deputies Beatty and Guth-
rie were at the Johnson farm. and
from there on the chase was lively
and exciting, the man with the wag-
on, having in the short interval made
his escape Because of the drifting
snow and the extreme cold, it was
extremely difficult and disagreeable
to keep the trail. However he was
successfully traced to the Huth farm
on which he lives and Sheriff kise
upon entering the barn ran into a
man, Mr.. Heckler, whom he assum-
ed was the man he was after.
Six hogs had been taken from the
Johnson farm, two of them escaping
from the wagon on the way to the
Huth farm. A second wagon which
was left at some little distance from
the johnson farmstead was apparent
ly taken up by the man during his
process of escape but was lost on
the trail. During the work of re-
loading the hogs that they might be
taken back to the owner, Heckler es-
capped and ran over three miles over
fields and roads, before he was taken
a second time. The tale of the chase
is most exciting one as told by
Sheriff Kise and Attorney Werring,
Heckler admitted taking the hogs
as. we'll as admitting some similar
misdemeanors in the past and
wished to go Immediately before
Judge Olsen and be sentenced. How
ever, because the April term of court
is only a few weeks away it is inn
probable that Judge Olsen will con-
sent to take any action before the
Grand Jury meets. Heckler is about
twenty-four years of age and is
unmarried.

WabaSSO Bank
Entered by Thieves
ROBBERY DISCOVERED WE'D
NESDAY MORNING; WIRES
CUT; TOWN ISOLATED.
cFrom Wabasso Standard)

Ctrom WabaSSO Standard)
One of the boldest robberies ever
committed in Redwood county was
pulled off in Wabasso some time be-
tween eleven o'clock Tuesday evening
and two o'clock Wednesday mornig
when the Farmers State Bank was
broken into ard robbed of everything
that the thieves thought was of val
ue.
Entrance to the bank was made
through the back door, which was
jimmied. Entrance to the vault was
made by the use of an acetylene torch
with which a hole about six inches
long and a couple of inches wide was
cut allowing the robbers to man.
ipulate the lock from the inside. At
ter getting into the vault the safety
boxes were attacked and pried open.
Papers of all description were scat
tered about, including registered Lib
erty bonds, but all bonds that were
not registered were taken. At the
present time of going to press it has
not been determined what the extent
of the robbery is, but will, probably
amount to quite sum in bonds Only
about $50 in cash was secured by the
burglars. The safe in the vault was
damaged to the extent Of having the
dial knocked off so that it could not
be opened. An expert is expected to
arrive Thursday to open the safe.
When the robbery was discovered
Wednesday morning by w. E. Re-
mark, the assistant cashier, the news
spread quickly and great crowd
gathered to see the handiwork of the
thieves. Val. p. Jennings arrived ON
the scene in few minutes and at
once and attempted to notify the au-
thorities, but every mode of commun-
ication, with the outside world had
been tampered with and Wabasso was
absolutely cut off from the rest OF
the world. A car was sent to Red
wood Falls where Sheriff Kise was
notified and he quickly arrived and
looked the ground over and possibly
has some clues that may lead to the
apprehension of the robbers.
The robbers, it is thought travelled
in two cars. The wires and cables
were cut in five places and east of
Wabasso the fuses were removed, to-
tally disabling the telephone and tele-
graph service. Guards were station
ed on the state road east of town as
well as the west which could be seen
from the tracks in the road and the
snow at the side of the road. A
guard was also stationed behind the
high board fence adjoining the bank
and another guard was stationed at
the rear of the bank, using a robe
taken from the bank to sit on during
HIS vigil. The robbers evidently used
sawed off shot guns as several emp.
ty shells and a shell box were found
where the west guard had been sta
toned.
About the time the wires must
have been cut a large Cadillac car
with a South Dakota license number,
two spare tires on the rear and occu-
pied by five men was seen west of
town where the guard was stationed.
Another car was seen in front of the
bank by a party who called for DIR.
Brey about 80 o'clock, the car just
pulling out at that time. A bar used
in gaining entrance to the bank was
stolen from the section house at Lam
berton and we understand that 25
gallons of gas were also stolen at

Early Days in
Paxton Township
A. A. WILSON, FORMER COUNTY
TREAS. RECALLS EARLY
DAYS IN COMMUNITY.

The following paper was prepared
by A. w. Wilson, one of the oldest
settlers of Redwood County for
reading before the Farmers Club at
Paxton. Mr. Wilson was the first
treasurer of Paxton township and
held this office until he left it to be-
come the County Treasurer.
"Being one of the first settlers of
the town of Paxton, / have been ask
ed to say few words about the early
days, to the younger people.
"In July, 1867, / settled on the east
come on the north side of the Min
nesota river from New Ulm. On
this side the roads were so bad that
could not get through. / am thank
full that chose the location that ] did.
1t was a good neighborhood, all poor,
all friendly, willing to help each 9TH
er with kind word or friendly act
at any time. .
Among the early settlers / will
mention the names of Chapman, Cur
ry, Johnson, Kuenzli, Webster, Cor
nell, Mason, Byingtons and McMil-
lans. All gone, to their last resting
place except Chapman, when or
where or how i shall see them again,
I know not, and know of no one that
can tell me.
.In December, 1867, a few neigh
bors met and made arrangements for
a school, chose a board of which I
was director. We procured Miss
Hattie Munsell of Brown County for
teacher, who taught a very good
school. 1t was held in a brick
house nearly north of Mr.. Ed. Hen
derson's present residence. There is
nothing left of it now except broken
bricks. We had some good times
that winter, plays, spelling schools,
readings, etc.
'T remember that in one play one
of the actors fell over the ash pail
and caused more fun than Charlie
Chaplain today. We did not have
Farmers clubs nor covered autoes for
the young folks to spoon in, but good
wholesome enjoyment, times that are
to be, regretted because they are
passed. Marion Johnson and Charles
and Gotlieb Kuenzli attended that
school.
II hauled the lumber for my first
house from Mankato with oxen, six
long days to make the trip. Black
birds were the worst plaques we had,
as we sowed by hand, the birds picked
the grain up before We could harrow
it in.
There was nothing legal about our
first school, but it was the forerunner
of District two and six. Later, the
attempt was made to arrange T. 112,
R. 35, into a town called Blackwood
1t was voted down. Later it was the
town of Paxton.
'sThe first election was in the school
house near the present residence of
Thos. Dennistoun. / cannot recall the
first board, except that VIM. Perry
was clerk and / was Treasurer. After
the meeting was adjourned it was or
ganized into Town caucus to choose
delegate to the county convention
to nominate county ticket. I was
chosen as DELEGATE and soon learned
some of the crookedness of politics.
At that time we had the Grange and
the Alliance. Now we have the
