EX-SPEAKER JOHN DAHL
WANTED IN BARRON co.
ON EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGE

John L. Dahl, speaker of the Wis
consin assembly in the 1922 session
and a graduate of the River Falls
normal school and of the Wisconsin
university law school, is being
sought by Barron county officials
who have warrants charging him
with embellishments amounting to
over $4,000.
The search for Dahl has been in
progress for over three months, but,
with the exception of rumor that he
had been in the state of Washington,
no trace of him has been found
Dahl became prominent in the
state in 1922 when he was boosted
into leadership of the "progressives"
in the assembly and elected speaker
by that group. He had been men
toned as a possible choice for other
state offices when, about a year ago,
he disappeared from Barron county
and did not return.

THE LAUNDERING HERD
By Zane Grey

The horses took their bits between
their teeth and ran headlong. Milly
had to slack the reins or be pulled
out of the seat. They plunged into
the rear of the moving buffalo, to
make no impression otherwise than
to split the phalanx for few rods
and be kicked from all sides. Here
the horses reared, and sent out above
the steady roar piercing scream of
terror Milly had never before heard
the scream of horse. She could do
nothing but cling to the loose reins
and the wagon seat. and gaze with
distended eyes. One of the white
horses, Jett's favorite, plunged to his
knees. The instant was one when
Milly seemed to be clamped by par
alysis. The other white horse plung-
ed on, dragging his mate to his feet
and into the race again.
Then the space around horses and
wagons closed in, narrowed to an
oval with only few yards clear to
the force and ON each side. Behind,
the huge, lowered, shaggy heads al
most bobbed against the wagon.
The time of supreme suspense had
come to Milly. She had heard but.
falo would run over and crush any
obstruction in their path. She seem
ed about to become the victim Of such
blind juggernaut.
A violent jolt nearly unseated
Milly.

WEST SIDERS DEFEAT
STANLEY HIGH SCHOOL
In ONE HOUR TILT

The Orange & White at Stanley
last Friday won out to 0 in what
was probably the shortest football
game Of the thousands played
throughout the country over the
weekend.
While most grid fracases last at
least two hours, this one, owing to
the fact that the time-keeper was UNI
familiar with timing rules, lasted
only about an hour, including the rest
period between halves. His nibs took
time out for nothing except the few
occasions when the teams asked for
it, and he started his timing again
always before the ball was in play.
There was no sinister purpose in his
methods, and it was an even break
for both teams; he just didn't know
any better.
Coach Klandrud's men will have a
rest this weekend, but the following
Saturday will take on the powerful
Eau Claire high here in what promis-
es to be the best game of the local
high school season.
Eau Claire trimmed La Crosse last
week, II to 0, the first victory Eau
Claire has had over La Crosse since
1912.
The seasons records show River
Falls and Eau Claire to be very even
ly matched.

ENJOY AUTO TRIP FROM
HERE TO kILA, MONTANA

Enclosed with check for her sub
scription to The Journal Mrs. Louise
T. Graves, who, with her husband
and their children, spent the summer
here, sends the following interesting
note regarding their return trip by
auto to their home at Kila, Mont.
1--WE had fine trip West, making
the 1913 miles in eight days. We
had good roads and no car trouble,
not even puncture on the trip. We
used IS gallons of gas, ranging in
price from 29c at an inland South
Dakota town to dc at Butte, Mont.
eve made it over the Divide just
in time as there was snow not far
above US and the day after we ar
rived here we had snow on the ground
here at Kila, so it would have been
pretty chilly camping out.
"Our dog Peggy" seemed glad to
get back among her native haunts;
also "Snowland," the cat.
eve saw several River Falls folks
enroute: Jim Richards at Scranton,
N. D., Joyce Beddall Redmond at
Grafton, N. D., and Mrs. Harris,
nee Hilma Nelson, and her husband,
at Hettinger, N. D."

kINNICKINNIC COUPLE
CELEBRATE THEIR FIFTIETH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Mr., and Mrs. Henry Phillips Of
Kinnickinnic, surrounded by their
five sons and their families, with a
host Of old friends from the surround
in community, celebrated the fftieth
anniversary of their wedding last
Monday evening at the home of their
eldest son, Mr.. Howard Phillips.
About ffty-five guests were as
sembled to offer congratulations to
the happy couple.
Those coming from a distance were
Atty. and Mrs Oaks from New Rich
.nond, and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Bowling, Mrs. Florence Knott and
Mr.. Ralph Rather of Hudson.
Atty. Jay H. Grimm acted as toast
master, and proved to be a past
master in that capacity.
A short program was presented as
follows:
A song by the whole company.
A speech by Mr.. Frank Webster,
who, in his usual genial way, set
forth in few well chosen words the
many sterling qualities of the couple
who were being honored.
Mr.. Gilbert Norseng delighted the
gathering with three selections in
song.
Mrs. 0. A. Graham gave a reading.
Mr.. Oaks of New Richmond gave a
delightful speech, and some remarks
by Mr.. Tom Wilcox brought down the
house. The speech of the evening
was made by our esteemed friend
Chris Wiger. who suggested we sing,
"Blest be the Tie that Binds" which
we all did, all joining hands. Thus
ended the program. After some
more friendly intercourse a sump-
tious lunch was served, of which all
partook heartily, and in our opinion,
it was good thing lunch was not
served before the speeches were
made.
The happy couple are leaving in a
few days for the South to start their
second lap. We all hope they will
live to celebrate their Centenary, and
that they will invite us to the celebra.

LAST QUARTER RALLY
GIVES ST. MARY'S VICTORY
OVER LOCAL N0RMALITES

Two touchdowns within five min
utes in the fourth quarter gave St.
Mary's college 13 to 9 victory over
River Falls normal on Kramer Field
last Friday afternoon.
The Coxmen got away to a sub
stantial lead in the opening stanza
when Brooks field goal was soon fol-
lowed by Matt Nelson's touchdown
for a total of 8 points.
In the second quarter Heggen
caught pass for a 25-yard gain to
the 6-yard line, but St. Mary's held
and punted. River Falls marched
right back again, this time to the s.
yard line, where, failing on line plays,
Brooks again attempted a drop-kick,
but it was blocked and the half ended
with the ball in mid-field.
The third quarter was played on
even terms, mostly in the center of
the field. st. Maryis took on burst
of speed toward the close of the final
period, and ran the ends for long
gains which finally Melted touch
down. After the following kickoff
three end runs brought them to the
15-yard line, from where they put
perfect pass over the goal-line for
another touchdown. Both kicks
failed, and the game ended IL to 9
in favor of the Winonans.

'ROCkNE APPROVES
 FOOTBALL RULES
Thinks Change in Kick-OH Is
 Beneficial

Detroit, Aug. 20 LP,- Because the ball is to be kicked from the 40- yard line this season, rather than from midheld. ono of the greatest thrills in football, the return of the kicI1-off, will be more frequently experienced and the game will be a lot more fun for the fellows in tho stands and for players as well. in the opinion of knute k. Rocknc, coach of the NVtre Dame eleven, writing in the American Boy.
 A major result of tho decision of the football rules committee, in starting the kick off from the 40- yard line without the tcc, will be that teams will davolop strong liCk-off return, said Mrs. Eocknc. He believes this play will take & big part in the 1925 campaigns. He will devote much time in drilling his team in the return of the kick off,
 Coach Rocknc declares the recon mendation of the rules committee, that high school games be played in four 12-minute, instead of 15-min- ute quarters, "is a mighty wise onc.' The average high school team is not as husky and conditioned as a college or university team, he says, and clcTens of younger fellows should profit by this advice.
