CIoe BrantIey
Has Adventure
GIRLS GO FOR JOY RIDE WITH
STRANGER; LEFT IN STRANGE
TOWN WITHOUT FUNDS.

The Brantley family, mentioned in
the article reprinted here from the
Mankato Free Press of last Friday,
formerly lived in Redwood Falls,
moving to Mankato last year.
"Gone from their homes for five
days and nights with parents and
police making every effort to find
them, Cloe Brantley, seventeen year
old North Mankato girl, and Elnore
NJ. Holmes, sixteen year old resident
of Mankato, have been located at
Odebolt, Iowa, according to telegram
received from the mayor of that town
by the Holmes family yesterday af-
ternoon.
Members of the two families left
for Odebolt by automobile following
the message and are expected to re-
turn to Mankato with the two miss
ing maidens sometime today. On
receiving the dispatch Mr.. Holmes
conferred with the police department.
In a long distance telephone call to
the Odebolt mayor, Chief Phil Lund-
mark ordered the girls held until the
arrival of parents today.
Definite details of the flight were
not made known in the communica-
tions. 1t is believed, however, that
the girls simply grew tired of their
adventure and sought aid of the au-
thorities in getting funds to return
to Mankato.
According to reports the driver of
the Ford touring car, Wisconsin
license No. B 41O24, with whom the
girls are believed to have been, first
drove to St. Paul and then to Red
wood Falls and succeeded in obtain
ing about $50 from relatives or fri
ends before travelling into Iowa. His
whereabouts are unknown.
"The girls left home Thursday eve
ming for the band concert at Sibley
park. Accompanied by Roy Fielder
man, young farm employee, and
the driver of the car the girls went
On long automobile ride which took
them as far as St. James. They re-

out purchasing exhibitors tickets, has
served to increase interest and en-

New Ulm Bank Closes

The Farmers and Merchants State
Bank of New Ulm was closed Satur-
day by the State Banking Department
because of "frozen assets" Poor
loans without sufficient collateral on
farm lands in Montana, North and
South Dakota and northern Mime
sofa caused the trouble. The capital
was $4,000 and deposits S400 900.
The stockholders were recently ord
cred to pay in 1000 assessment and
for time it was thought that a re-
organization would be perfected.
After weathering the storms of busi-
ness depression the past three years
it was shock to New Ulm to have
the bank closed on the eve of brighter
times in the Northwest. New Ulm
banking circles have always been
looked upon as being in strong posi-
ton financially, and it is probable that
the bank will be reopened.

DR.. Ross Sees
Wonders of Banff
REDWOOD FALLS RESIDENT is
THRILLED BY MOUNTAIN
SCENERY.
Dear Mrs. Wilson,

Dear Mrs. Wilson,
On Thursday afternoon we made
tour of the city of Calgary in an
auto. We would not have been able
to locate the house we lived in, or
the church we preached in 1896 had
we not had guide with US, so much
has the city grown since then.
The city lies largely in a valley
through which the Bow river and the
Elbow river run, meeting in the east
part of the city and forming one
river. From the north and again
from the south side of the city we
had a wonderful view of the city,
with her Is thousand people. What
was only wild prairie in 1897 is all
built up with business blocks and fine
residences.
Friday morning we took the train
at a. m. to get the daylight run
through the mountains. This every
traveller should do who has not so
seen them before. Such a forenoon
as we had. Language utterly fails
to describe the views we had. We
reached Banff about a. m. and from
then on until we reached the Glacier
it was one grand panorama of noun
tain scenes. The three sisters with
their snow capped peaks followed by
peaks ranging from nine to eleven
thousand feet above sea level. The
altitude at Banff is 4537 feet, rising
steadily until we reach Lake Louise
and On to the great divide where the
waters separate and flow east and
west from that point where the alti-
tude is 5670 feet and from then on
it for long distance descends and
again rises until at Field it reaches
4075 feet.
Between Hector and Field there
wonderield piece of engineering IN
the form of the figure eight, where
the grade has been reduced by two
tunnels, the top of the figure eight
being formed in one of the tunnels;
the first tunnel having a drop Of Sd
feet and the second a drop Of So
feet. l cannot describe them as /
would like to, so will not attemt to.

Wins Trophy
BOYS RETURN SATURDAY AF-
TER MOST SUCCESSFUL CAMP;
FIFTY-FIVE ATTEND.

Comany L., consisting of ffty-fve
officers and men from Redwood Falls
and vicinity returned Saturday after
noon from Fort Smelling where the
annual training camp has been in ses-
sion for the past two weeks. Officers
in charge of the men were Capt. w.
A. Fraser, Lieut.. VIM. Hosken and
Lieut.. Wilbur Lamberton.
Apparently every man is thorough
ly well satisfied with the encampment
which the older members of the Com
pany state was one of the most sue
cessful held in many years. The
training included many new features,
including several phases of aerial de-
tense and proved both interesting and
instructive Food was also exception
ally good this year
For the second time Company L
won the cup in the Indoor Rifle Match
and the cup was presented at the
camp. If the cup is won again next
year it becomes the permanent pro-
pany also had a very high stand
ing in the Regiment in it's drill
work and in the sanitary condi-
tion of it's kitchen and quarters. This
reflects much credit on both officers
and men. Lieutenant Hosken con-
tinued to cover himself and his Com
pany with laurels as the high man
on the rife range. The 206th In
fantry won the rife shoot which is
always one of the big events of the
camp.
Congressman Tom Schall addressed
she guardsmen at Vriday evening,
speaking to them for about twenty
minutes on the topics of the day.

their families at Luverne last Fri
day. The occasion was the annual
midsummer meeting of the Associa-

of the editors and members of their
families gathered to enjoy the hos
pitality extended them.
From twelve until two a buffet

ladies delightfully."- entertained the
company by number of solos DUR
ing the luncheon and the social hour
that followed.
The afternoon was spent in visit
in around" in Luverne, the guests
finding the city charming as well as
progressive and full of interest. An
out of door picnic, planned for the
picturesque Mounds" near Luverne,
had, because of the wet weather, to
be taken to the armory. Here at six
o'clock a cafeteria dinner was served
by members of the Kiwanis and Com
mercial Clubs. During the dinner a
number of entertainment features
were put on by Luverne talent, these
including vocal numbers by Mrs.

J. B. Savage farm in Delton, 9 miles
southwest of Comfrey which caused
the death of Richard Savage, 11-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Savage. The

stacker team. A singletree clip gave
way under the strain, causing that
side of the singletree to whip back,
striking the lad terrible blow in the
left side. A physician was immediate
ly summoned and the injured lad re-
moved to the Loretto hospital, New

Labor Is Plentiful

For the first time since the War
many of the counties in Minnesota
are over-sapplied with labor This
is due largely to the fact that in
dustries in the cities are curtailing
or shutting down altogether. The
Public Employment Office reports no
difficulty in meeting demands for
farm labor.
The July labor report compiled by
F. L. French, Secretary of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation,
shows reduction in the average wage
per day of from S3.14 in July 1923 to
$2.47 on July 1924, and in the wage
per month of from $4,000 in July
1923 to $47.92 in July 1924.

Some Mighty Scores

Jealousy is rife among Redwood
Falls Golf players since T. Sampson
and L. Schultz made their beautifully
low score recently. doc" Ander-
son, Nels. Ryerson and Chief Orth
indignantly informed the Gazette that
they have frequently made scores Of
thirty-fve and nothing had been said
about it publicly. Monday, Gus
Schildknecht wandered in and de-
clared he had busted all previous
course records by making a score of
twenty-three. But not a single one
of the complaining gentlemen would
tell how many holes be had played!

Chairman Explains
Why Redwood Was
Not on Program

There has been much conjecture
in and about Redwood Falls as to why
the county seat of Redwood County
was not included in the benefit pro-
gram given at Tracy last Thursday
and Friday. The local people have
been intensely interested and most
sympathetic with the movement to
raise funds to help the farmers
stricken by the tornado of a few
weeks ago. With this interest in
mind it was difficult to see why Red
wood Falls not invited to ''do it's bit''
in the program. In addition to this
some very unkind and unjust critl-
cism has been made by residents of
other sections of County.
Chris Schultz, president of the To-
cal Commercial Club, wrote to the
Chairman of the Tornado Relief Com
mittee concerning the matter and in
response received the following letter
which is self-explanatory.
August End, 1924. I.
Mr.. C. H. Schultz, Pres,
Redwood Falls Commercial Club, {
Redwood Falls, Minnesota.
Dear Mr.. Schulte:-
l have yours of July 81, asking why
an invitation had not been extended
to your Club to take part in the
Benefit Festival held here. In order
for you to understand this will have
to explain it in detail.
When this Benefit Festival was
first suggested it was intended to have
only those towns that were directly
interested and located paralleling the
immediate storm vicinity. AS you
know, the storm followed the Chicago
Northwestern Right of Way and No.
z Trail mostly. Letters were sent
to these towns as far east as Lamber-
ton and west to Lake Benton asking
them if they would send representa-
tives here to discuss the advisibility
of being on the Festival. 1t was
ordered to go ahead, and the writer
was chosen General Chairman. At
this meeting it was decided to have
Ball Games and Boxing Matches. The
Committee appointed on these differ
ent activities became so enthusiastic
that they sent for the Rochester and

AMERICAN MARINES
 ELECTED SETTLERS
 FROM O|L RESERVE

WASHINGTON, Mar 11.-General LeJune, Commandant of the U. s. ma- lme Corps, told the Investigating com mittee today how his men were used in cleaning Teapot Dome of trespass- CTS after the oil lands had been leas- ed to the Sinclair interests. Major LeJune said his orders for military ac- tion were issued by Theodore Roose- welt, then acting Secretary of the Navy. Roosevelt testified that the re quest for military aid for cleaning the Dome came from Albert B. Fall who was quoted as saying: "He and Harding wanted the squatters eject ed."
 Sending the Marines to Teapot Dome was characterized as "an outra- geous use of the military forces" by Senator Walsh, who charged that arm ed force was used because Fall and Sinclair did not want to precipitate a court action in which the validity of the oil leases would be raised.
 "You learned in school" he said to the witness, "that the oil power is all ways subordinated to the civil power in the United States" said Walsh.
 "Yes," replied Roosevelt.
