young Paully, in company with Roy
Turner, his friend whom he had ac-
companied from the west, and anoth-
er party, were planning for a swim
at Pleasant Beach, about five o'clock
Monday evening, June 30th, and that
Paully entered a boat ahead of his
other two companions, against their
advice. After rowing out about
sixty feet from shore, he jumped out
of the boat and sank before help
could reach him.
After arriving on the scene, the
Indian secured the location where
the body was supposed to have sunk
and ordered all on-lookers to leave
except his assistant.
In forty minutes after his arrival
on the scene he accomplished what
the other searchers had failed to do
in practically four days. The body
was found in about thirty-fve feet of
water. The shape of the limbs and
arms indicated very clearly that the
young man had been overtaken with
cramps as soon as he struck the
water. There was a large fish hook
imbedded in his right hand which in
dicated that one of the searchers
had had hold of the body but was
unable to raise it.
The remains were shipped to the
home of his widowed mother at Wal
la Walla, WASH, for burial.

Walter Moynihan Runner-up
In District Golf Tournament
Defeated In Semi-Finals at St. Cloud
Supday-Morgan and Crickmer
Also Entered

w. B. Morgan, Walter Moynihan
and Aylmer Crickmer represented the
Sauk Centre Country Club in the
Central Minnesota golf tournament
held at ST. Cloud Saturday and Sun
day of last week.
In the preliminaries young Moyni-
han was runner-up to Mr.. Tollman OF
Paynesville, the Sank Centre boy
scoring 168 for SO holes as against
the veterans 165. This was splen-
did showing for Walter as Mr.. Toll
man plays golf winter and summer
In the semi-fnals Sunday afternoon
Walter was eliminated after hard
contest.
1t will be interesting to Sauk Cen
ire golfers to know that DR.. Cole of
Alexandria won the championship of
the tournament.
The other Sauk Centre represen-
tatives made splendid showing at
the tournament but they found the
going a little bit tough. Moynihan
and Crickmer were by far the young
est participants in the tournament.

informed the management of the
Alexandria team that it would be
impossible for him to pitch July
4th and twiller was secured from
Minneapolis late Wednesday eve
ming. Although Bertha won the game
by 6 to 1 score it was no fault of
the Minneapolis boy that Alexandria
was defeated. Lawrence Dolson of
Sauk Centre caught for the -Alexan-
dria team and demonstrated to local
fans that he is as clever on the base
ball diamond as he is with a basket
ball. He made the first clean hit
secured by Alexani irla off Donaldson
and although he had never worked
with his pitcher before he backed him
up in splendid shape. The score in
this game was 6 to 1 and the best
team won.
The following is the tabulated
score:

CYCLONE SUFFERERS
NEED ASSISTANCE
GOVERNOR PREUS CALLING UP
ON CIVIC BODIES TO HEAD .
MOVEMENT
SAUK CENTRE WILL AID
VICE PRES. SCHOENHOF OF THE
COMMUNITY CLUB HAS TAX
EN- INITIATIVE

| Gov. J.. A. o. Preus is calling up
on the Community Clubs and Other
civic organizations of the state tc
contribute to the relief of the cyclone
sufferers living in the vicinity Of
Tracy, Balaton, and other southwest
ern Minnesota points, as result OF
storm which passed over that sec.
ton a couple of weeks ago.
Vice, President j. B. Schoenhoff
acting head of the Sauk Centre Com.
munity Club, has taken the initiative
to collect for this fund from the citi-
zens of Sauk Centre, and has placed
boxes in each one of the three Sauk
Centre banks where free will offer.
ings will be received. No contri.
button is too small nor will any be
i too large as the cause is a most
worthy one.
On all previous occasions the citi-
zens of Sauk Centre have willingly
contributed their share to relieve a
distressed community and the Herald
is convinced that they will do their
duty at this time.
The following letter from Governor
Preus is self-explanatory:
"The survey made by the Ameri-
can Red Cross shows that 104 farms
in Lyon, Lincoln, Murray, Redwood
and Cottonwood counties were dam
aged more or less severely by the
cyclone of Sunday, June %, 1924 !.
On thirty-eight farms all buildings
were totally destroyed. The total
vaule Of buildings, farm machinery,
furniture, live stock and equipment
destroyed is estimated at $508, 500.
This does not include damage to
growing crops, which in many cases
is severe, value Of groves and or
chards, cost of clearing away debris,
and numerous other items of expense
which follow a disaster of this char
acter.
"Only % of the 104 farmers who
suffered losses had any tornado in
surance, and in most cases this COW
cred only a fraction of the loss. 1t
is estimated that 80 of the 104 farm
ers had financial resources or insur-
ance sol they can go ahead without
help, leaving IA who must have some
assistance. In some cases, the farms
and buildings were so heavily mort
gagged that the farmers cannot bor-
row any more money for new build
ings. In some cases where farms
were rented, the loss Of machinery,
live stock, furniture and crops wiped
out everything the renter owned.
"The State Board of Relief has
contributed $4,000. Under the law,
this can only be used for the most
urgent relief, such as temporary
shelter. The county commissioners
have appropriated $4,000 in Lyon
county, $4,000 in Lincoln county
and $4,000 in Murray county for ir1f-
mediate needs.
"The funds needed for permanent
rehabilitation of the storm victims
must come from voluntary contribu-
tions by individuals and ) organiza-
tions. The Red Cross officials, af-
ter consulting with local committees,
have estimated that 100000 is need
ed for this purpose. No attempt
will be made to reimburse anyone
for his total losses, but simply to
give those who are unable to finance
themselves an amount suffiient to

signed to him was in Colorado and
ever since the accident frantic eff
forts have been made by his COM
parry to locate him. He is trav .lils
by auto and is a day or two behind
schedule. However, he was regis;er-
ed at Colorado Springs hotel Tue s.
dav and expected to return as he WIS
making that point his headquarters
from which he would reach the con-.
pany's customers in nearby comm l.
mites. Northrop King & Company
sent dispatches to all their Gust omers
in that territory in an endeavor to
locate Dwight, and Tuesday evening
the announcement of Loren's death
was broadcasted from the Denver
radio station.
The following are the immediate
family left to mourn: S. P. Hansen,
Sr., father; Mrs. Harry Schmidt, sis
ter, Sauk Centre; John Percy Han
sen, brother; Mrs. E. F. (Ann) Bige-
low, sister, Los Angeles, CAL; Mrs.
Herbert (Elsie) Waddell, sister, Will
mar; S. P. Hansen, Jr., Sauk Cen
tire; Mrs. Don w. (Jessie) Stewart,
Minneapolis; Dwight Hansen, brother,
and Isabel Hansen, sister at home.
Words in themselves are mean
ingless things, but friends and neigh
bors by the score have called at the
Hansen home to express heartfelt
sympathy in this, their second great
bereavement, and in this sincere ex-
preston of sympathy the Herald
devoutly joins.
A wire was received from Dwight
this Thursday morning stating that
he would leave Colorado Springs
Wednesday afternoon. He cannot
possibly reach Sauk Centre before
tomorrow noon and conditions were
sucn that it was deemed advisable to
hold Loren's funeral at $3.50 this
Thursday afternoon as first planned.

low figure and will likely be complet-
ed this fall. The Herald understands
that the paving work will start at
the corner of Third and Oak street

cess and very largely attended.
The Sauk Centre band furnished
music on the streets throughout the
day and evening anil added much to
the pleasure of the day.
In this celebration "Main Street"
made good as usual. The citizens not
only gave the farmers and thei1
neighbors from other towns a fine
program but the Fair Association
and American Legion, under whose
auspices the celebration was ar
ranged, will net tidy sum.

Ideal weather conditions and an
attractive program brought the
largest crowd to Sauk Centre for
July tn, assembling in this city for
many years.
In spite of the immense crowd there
was not a single accident to mar the
enjoyment of the day. The abso-
lutte lack of intoxication on the part
of the visitors and home folks, no
doubt contributed very largely tc
this condition.
The crowd began to pour into the
city from every direction in the
early forenoon and hundreds of them
remained until the close of the dance
at .Dreamland, and on every hand fa-
vorable comments were heard for the
splendid program OF amusement ar
ranged by the general committee.
They came from as far northwest as
Wadena, northeast to Duluth, from
the Twin Cities, Bertha, Browerville,
Long Prairie, Little Falls, Swanville,
Burtrum, Grey Eagle, ST. Cloud, Al
bany, Freeport, Melrose, Elrosa, New
Munich, Metre Grove, Greenwald,
Paynesville, Belgrade, Brooten, Sc
dan, Glenwood, Willard, Westport,
West Union, Osaks, Alexandria and
Fergus Falls.
The following letter received by
v. G. Wedge from D. M. Andrews,
assistant manager of the Minnesota
Retail Hardware Association, indi-
Gates the impression the Sauk Centre
celebration made upon a tourist pass
ing through the city on that day:
"Mr. V. G. Wedge, Sauk Centre,
Mimi.
"Dear Mr.. Wedge:
"Just want to drop you a line to
let you know what live town / think
Sauk Centre is. Mrs. Andrews and
myself drove up to Fergus Falls to
spend the Fourth with my folks, and
went through Sauk Centre about
eleven o'clock, and found that prac-
tically all central Minnesota had gath
cred at Sauk Centre for the celebra-
ton. AS a matter of fact, Sauk Cen
tire was the only town that was stag
ing a celebration between Minneap-
oils and Fergus Falls; and l want to
take this opportunity of congratulate
ing you on living in America.
'Incidentlly, would be interested to
know about how many visitors were
in Sauk Centre, who staged the cele-
bration, and any other facts about it.

gram was the horse shoe contest IN
which sixteen men participated. This
proved to be mighty good sport and
it brought out the fact that there are
several artists living in this section
of the country. The first prize was
won by DeLong and Christensen
WicHl1is. and Willis Benson won the
second.
The tug of war between teams
captained by Charles Kortan and
Ben Vogel proved to be a very in
teresting event, but the huskies from
the farm captained by Mr.. Kortan
proved to be too much for the fel-
lows in the city.
The pie eating contest at noon
was as usual a very amusing event
for the throng of >onlookers when the
dozen lads lined up to eat blucberry
pie without the aid of thier hands,
fork or spoon. Lester Jenkins won
first prize in this contest, Harold
Cliff second, and another Jenkins
boy third.
The doll carriage parade at. 1:15
was very dainty and pretty. The
mothers had taken considerable pains
to trim up the doll carriages and
dress their little daughters for this
event. Three ladies living outside of
Sauk Centre were selected as Judges
and it was with considerable difficulty
that they were able to pick the win
ner. Little Lorraine Hansen, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Hansen,
won by Harold I.eSeur, vita Leo
daughter of Mayor and Mrs. w. M.
Parker, second; and Helen Minette,
daughter of Ed Minette third.
The boys mile bicycle race was
Won by Harold DeSeur, with Leo
Miller second and Archie Hines
third.
The kittenball game between the
Sauk Centre businessmen and the
Progressive Farmers Club, being the
first of series of games for the
loving cup hung up by the Best
Schultz Lumber Company, proved to
be very snappy affair. Because of
the lack of time only five innings
We're played at which time each team
had scored single run. The sug-
gestion has been made that the teams
meet in another game at the Fair
Grounds some Sunday afternoon
prior to the fair at which a nominal

ton.
When Umpire Kelley of Minneap-
oils called the ball game between
Bertha and Alexandria, one of the
largest crowds ever assembling at
the fair grounds were on hand to
witness what was expected to be one
of the fastest ball games ever played
in central Minnesota. John Donald
son was in the box for Bertha, and
his team came down backed by near
5ly every citizen Of the town. The
night before the game, Doc Sutton

A FTER sticking ones nose out of
"A the door, during the last few
days. there is little Doubt left in
ones mind as to winter being here.
This cold bleak wind should remind us
to do more than to look up our
"heavies." It should remind us also
that Christmas time is coming and
that there are families within our
city that are not as we'll protected
from that wind as we are. It should
remind US of the efforts of the local
organizations that are trying to COM
plete plan whereby all such fami-
lies can be reached. In short, it
should remind US that there will be
box under the Community Christmas
Tree that is waiting for the names
and addresses of such families in
need.
Do not put yourself nj position
to think afterwards that a family
went cherries because you did not
put the name you knew in the box.
