REDWOOD FALLS
TEAMS LOSE TWO
GAMES LAST WEEK
PIPESTONE HIGH SCHOOL AND
INDEPENDENTS DEFEAT RED
WOOD TEAMS 1870 AND 1910
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

Two Redwood Falls football teams
were scored upon for two touchdowns
each Saturday and Sunday. Satur-
day, October Both, the local high
school team lost bitterly fought con-
test to the Pipestone high school 1870
while upon Sunday afternoon the To-
cal Independents met defeat at the
hands Of the Pipestone Independents
1910. This was the first game that
the Independents have lost this season.
In the high school game Pipestone
scored in the first quarter on long
pass and made the point after scor-
ing. Again in the second quarter a
pass was the means of the second
and last touchdown of the game.
Redwood was outplayed in all depart
ments of the game during the first
half. In the third quarter the play
ing was about even with Redwood
receiving a setback by the loss of
Arnett from the back field. Laidlaw
was shifted from end to Arnett's
place and filled the bill exceptionally
well. In this quarter Jueneman,
Redwood's plunging full back got
away for thirty-five yard run for
the only sensational play.
The last quarter found the locals
outplaying Pipestone and very nearly
scoring two touchdowns. Upon a
doubtful play Laidlaw raced through
the entire visitor defense to cross the
line for a touchdown only to be called
back for a gain of five yards, the
referee ruling that the ball had been
dead and the play stopped. A COM
pleted pass, Jueneman to Peterson
was good for Is yards. A plunge by
Jueneman brought the ball to the
thirty yard line. Laidlaw took the
ball through right tackle for first
down upon the twenty-eight yard
line. Jueneman made five yards.
Laidlaw and Jueneman brought the
ball to Pipestone's four yard line
which looked good for a touchdown
with Laidlaw going over only to be
called back for running outside. On
the next play, the fourth down Juene-
man made tumble, Pipestone's ball
upon their nine yard line where they
Immediately punted out of danger.
The whistle ended the game with Red
wood trying desperately to score.
The Independent game Sunday was
very much a duplicate of the High
School game Saturday. Pipestone
scored both touchdowns directly from
passes. Only once was Redwood
Falls able to penetrate the Pipestone
line to any great advantage, when in
the third quarter they made four first
downs successively to bring the ball
to Pipestone's eighteen yard line
where a pass, Carity to Hoskin would
have meant at least tie game. Car
ity passed and Hoskin dropped the ball.
The last few minutes of play found
Redwood trying hard for pass only
to lose the ball on their own twenty

In the closing talk Judge Emerson
urged the people to vote. at is our
right to vote, given to us through the
Constitution of the United States.
We should be governed by the ma
jorities but because of so many
slackers among the voters we are
not" said Mr.. Emerson. In one case
cited by Mr.. Emerson, because of the
failure of the people of Redwood
County to turn out and vote, the
County came near being wet. In the
1915 election the total vote cast was
about $500. After the canvassing
was through it was found that the
County was dry by IS votes. The
votes were counted the second time,
this time by the court and it was
found that the County was still dry
by about 45 votes. The case was TAX
en- to the Supreme Court where, after
the third recount, the court ruled that
Redwood County was dry by two
votes! MANY people, both wet and
dry told me after that had they only
known they would have voted and
swung the election" said the speak
er. In closing Mr.. Emerson explained
the three constitutional amendments
concerning which so many people
knew so little.

Governor Theodore Christian
son will carry the state by a
plurality of 100000 votes," was
the message from the Associat-
ed Press to the Gazette at 12:45
o'clock this afternoon. There are
$500 precincts in the state. Of
these 582, in 81 counties, gave
Christianson 67,325 to Magnus
Johnson's 41,078 and Jacques
6,266. The whole Republican
ticket was elected as far as state
officials go. julius A. Schmahl,
Ray P. Chase, Mike Holm and
others all down the line are leading
by big majorities. Congressman were
not SO fortunate in their leads al
though victory is practically conced-
ed in all districts except the Seventh
where the present Congressman,
Qvale, defeated his opponent, Major
Howard. Up in the ninth District
Wefald was defeated by Selvig. The
election of Knudson in the Sixth was
still doubtful. With no opposition in
the Second, Congressman Frank
Clague polled big vote as tribute
of the faith of his constituents. In
several of the other Northwest states
the Republicans were not so fortunate
in the election of Congressman and
several show return to the Demo-
cratic party.
Redwood County's vote was not
exceptionally heavy except in the
city of Redwood Falls where a total
of 1,127 votes was cast. In other
precincts the vote was about the av-
erage. The result throughout the
County contained few surprises ex-
cept in the office of County Attorney
where George A. Barnes, candidate
for the second term was defeated by
Leon H. Brown of Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Brown led by three hundred and
forty-two votes in thirty-eight Of
forty-three precincts from which the
returns were complete at 12:45 o'clock
this afternoon. The precincts still to
be heard from were Wanna Village,
Revere Village, Johnsonville Town
ship, Charleston Township and Willew
Lake Township. The other officers,
L. P. Larson, A. D. McRae, and L. j.
Kise were all elected. Of these Sher-
iff Kise got the largest vote in the
thirty-eight precincts, his vote of
1881 leading his opponent, T. G. Oh
son by 1884 votes. This is the Sec
ond time that Mr.. Kise has been "high
man" among the Redwood County
candidates. A. w. Hubbard of Red
wood Falls won as Coroner against
w. w. Carlisle of Morgan who ran
by the sticker method. John Ahrends
is conceded safely elected as Com
missioner of the Wabasso District,
his lead being strong over that Of
his opponent. In the Redwood Falls
district Commissioner E. A. Pease had
no opposition.

SENTENCED FOR
SELLING LIQUOR
TO YOUNG BOY
MRS. ED. LEISURE AND LEO
KRAFT PLEAD GUILTY; JUDGE
ENERSEN STARTS JURY CASES
TODAY.

The October term of District Court,
starting with the meeting of the
Grand Jury last Monday morning
moved slowly through the week. Much
OF the delay was accredited by court
officials to the prediction excitement
and work on the part of attorneys, Of
ficials and others concerned. The
Grand Jury closed it's work Tuesday,
returning seventeen indictments and
one no bill. These indictments added
several cases to the criminal calen-
dar which awaited Judge Albert En-
ersen upon his arrival here today.
Judge Emerson was also in charge
last week.
OF the seventeen indicted six have
already been arraigned. Two plead
ed guilty. The others will stand trial.
The two pleading guilty are Mrs. Ed.
Leisure of Revere and Leo Kraft, both
charged with selling liquor to min
or, Keith Sorenson having obtained
liquor from the couple. Mrs. Leis-
ure was given a sentence of one and
one-haf years at Shakopee and fined
three hundred dollars and costs. The
Shakopee sentence was suspended for
two years on good behavior. The fine
has been paid. Leo Kraft who was
associated with Mrs. Leisure in the
sale of the liquor was given sent
ence of one and one-half years in
Saltwater and has already been COM
mitted.
The No Bill was returned in the
case of Sigrud M. Swenson of Min
neapolis. Swenson was arrested in
October on the charge of selling stock
without a license from the State Sc
curities Commission. At the time of
his arrest he was bound over from
municipal court to the Grand Jury
which upon investigation of the evi-
dence decided that there was not suf-
ficient cause for Indictment. Mr..
Swenson uss. selling stock in the
Wright Reciprocating Combustion
Motor, new gas engine with direct
drive said to be a rather remarkable
and recent invention in which Mr..
Swenson had some part. -
While there are several citizenship
petitions awaiting hearing it is un-i
lawful to grant such petitions at any
time within thirty days of general
election. Because of this ruling these
petitions are held over until the April
term of court.
1t is expected that jury cases will
start today and in spite of the fact
that there are many cases on the cal
endar many of them are very trivial
and disposition of them will be made
without much loss of time. There
fore the term promises to be fairly
short. Clerk of Court Weldon an
nounced that two or three of these
cases would be officially announced as
settled at today's session.
