June II Is Selected
As COnvenfjon Date

The Second District American -Le-
gion and Auxiliary Convention date
has been decided upon by the Conven-
ton Committee Of the local Post and
.<SAedzs has been approved by the
&asS District Commander, DR.. Will
SNgSS bur Smith of Pipestone. The
5SSE date selected by the commit
tee is June 14th, 1927, with Redwood
Falls as the convention city. This
convention will be the first joint
Legion and Auxiliary convention ever
held in the second district; previous
to this date the Auxiliary has always
held its conventions separate from
the Legion. The early date was pick
ed because of an anticipated early
state convention which will be held
at Hibbing in 1927. The National
Convention which is to be held in
Paris in 1927 is the reason for the
selection Of the earlier dates.
At the district meeting held in Red
wood Falls in June many noted legion
men will be present, including
State Commander Rufus Rand and
State Adjutant Eddie" Lindell, both
of Minneapolis, District Commander
Wilbur Smith and District Adjutant
M. J. Meeker, both of Pipestone. Ar
rangements are being made to have
Past National Chaplain, 1t. Col. Ezra
C. Clemans of Owatonna attend the
meeting. Many Legionaires of the
district will remember Mr.. Clemans
as Maj. Clemans, regimental chaplain
of the old End Minnesota Infantry.
Among the larger towns of the Sec
ond District which will be represent
ed in Redwood Falls June 14th are
Mankato, Pipestone, Worthington, ST..
James, Window, Jackson, New Ulm,
Sleepy Eve and SPRINGFIELD.

FOUR ARE GUILTY
OF FORCERIES OF
MANY CHECKS
TWO SPRINGFIELD COUPLES
PLEAD GUILTY TO SERIOUS
CHARGES; JUDGE OLSEN TO
GIVE SENTENCES FRIDAY.

-Four people, two men and two wo-
men, charged with a series of petty
thefts and with the more serious
crime of check forging were arrested
Saturday night at Lamberton by
Sheriff L. j. Kise and his deputy A..
L. Guthrie. The culprits, who are
Mr., and Mrs. Gus. Madsen and Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Schmitt, all residents
of Springfield, were brought into
Judge Everett's municipal court Tues
day morning and pleaded guilty to the
charges. They were bound over to
District Court and will appear before
Judge 1. M. Olsen Friday to receive
sentence. The arrest of these people
ends a series of crimes in this vicin-
ity, on which Sheriff Kise has been
working for the past several weeks.
complaints having come in from sew
eral Redwood and Brown County
towns.
Because of these complaints the
Sheriff had notified merchants in sew
eral towns to be on the lookout for
these suspects. Mrs. Schmitt gave
a suspicious check on the Wanda
bank to a Lamberton merchant and
was unable to give satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION for having the check in her
possession. The check was given by
George Prokosh of Wanda to "Mrs.
Jensen" and telephone call to Wan
da brought the assurance that no such
check had been issued. Mrs. Schmitt
was held by the merchant until the
Sheriff arrived at Lamberton, then her
husband was arrested also and later
their confession led to the arrest Of
their accomplices Mr.. and Mrs. Mad
sen, who were found in a parked car
where they were awaiting the re-
turn of the Schmitt's. In the car was
found quantity of groceries which
the four confessed to having taken
from parked cars on the streets of

MANY MINOR
CASES PLACED
ON CALENDAR
PETIT JURY SPENDS FIVE DAYS
ON TRIVIAL DISAGREEMENTS !:
MANY CASES CONTINUED !;
COURT CASES TO BE HEARD.

When residents of Redwood County
bring all sorts of trivial matters in
to court they apparently do not think
of the additional expense to the
County. The term now in session is
a fair example of the results of this
thoughtlessness. The Grand Jury
worked two days and $267.80 was
paid out in salaries to the jurors,
very justifiable expense for the num-
petit jury which worked only five
days at an expense of $795.00 for sal
aries and mileage has very little work
of Importance to its credit, the most
of the cases being of such nature
that they should have been settled,
or at least have been carried no
farther than municipal court. An ad-
ditional $190.4S was spent for states
witnesses making total of $1252.6S
spent for these three items. This
is only small part of the expense OF
the court, and while the sum is not
large it is larger than is merited by
the sipgg astance of the cases coming
before the jury. Attorneys state
that only one of the cases tried by
jury was really of sufficient import
ance to merit place on the calen-
dar. The fines collected will amount
to about $700 if all are collected and
the verdicts rendered totaled $1223.
On the criminal calendar three
cases concerned Redwood Falls men.
Gus Englund pleaded guilty to a
charge of selling liquor and was sent
enced to three months in the county
Jail and fine of $3.50 with costs
amounting to $3.50. Frank Clark
was sentenced to pay fine of $1OO
and serve thirty days, having pied
guilty to a charge of transporting
liquor. The case of Hugh Green,
charged with selling liquor to min
or, was continued to the next term be-

Solly," a production of the F. B. In
gram Co. Of Rock Island, Illinois,
which was shown under the auspices

success in every way. The music
was catchy the lines clever and the
whole constituted program of good
entertainment.
Miss Lieverson as Betty Wood, a
cigar counter girl and Miss Flygare
as Jane Brown who sells home made
candy, carried their parts in very
clever and interesting manner. Bur-
ton Hauck as Hickory Bender, the
village constable, was good and all
those who saw him are of the opinion
that he has missed his calling by not
going on the stage.
Rex Miller, young actor whose
name has graced many home talent
cast was in his prime as McGinty, the
town barber and manufacturer of the
famous McGinty Capsules, guaran-
teed to cure anything; what have
you? John Murset was in a new
CD role as Jewish peddler. His
part was an important one and John
is entitled to much credit. Miller
and Murset in their between-the-
scenes act brought many laugh from
the interested spectators.
Victor Johnson acted the part of
Circus Solly, a clown, in true actor
style and much credit is due him for
the success of the show. Harold
Starr, as Red Berry, the slicker, prov
ed that he was not only clever
dancer and singer but also had TAX
ing ways, especially for Ingersols.
Mrs. Walter King as Annie, a town
character was a very good selection
and pleaser her audience immensely.
The impersonation of Widow Willow
by Mrs. Floyd Reynolds was very
clever and she received much favor
able comment.
The audience was given rare treat
in the second act by the beautiful
! ballet girls, their wonderful gowns
and their graceful dancing. The bal
let was composed of DOC" Budik
"Swede" Bollum, "Bill" Evans, E. L.
Spencer, Glenn Hillig and E. H. Sebo
Such joy, such thrill, such rapture
Nettie Barber was clever in acting
her part as Tina, a girl with the cir
Gus. The girls of the chorus are en-

OUR GLORIOUS DEAD

Men and Nations forget Wounds that
were deep, wounds festered and rubbed
with the salt of hate, have healed in
the sunshine of new day, scars that
were thought ineffaceable are vanishing
as the years pass on. Once more men
and goods travel the seas where sailed
the grim destroyers, and the plow turns
ever deeper the buried hatreds of the
greatest war. And it is well that we
forget. But let us not forget those who,
when the nation called in those stormy
days; were the first to answer. So we
join today in paying silent, due, rever-
ent homeage to Our Glorious Dead.

American Civilization

Nassau county N. Y, is part of the
chief metropolitan area of the United
States. The county seat, Mineola, Is
less than 20 miles from our greatest
city. Yet so fragile was the public
peace deemed there by the constituted
authorities, when condemned murder
er was brought from the death cells at
Sing Sing to testify against an alleged
accomplice in a bank robbery. that the
guardians of law and order brought
their witness by an underground pas
sage into a court room thronged with
armed police and detectives, fearing
that otherwise the underworld would
take its traditional vengeance on a
"squealer."
While that trial was going ON, a
steamship carrying $10.0OO,000 in gold
bullion entered New York harbor. TO
convey the treasure safely through the
streets of New York to a bank valuf'
il was thought necessary to mobilize
five armored cars each manned by four
armed guards. Each guard carried a
