severe injuries to his face and head
when he took bad tumble Friday of
last week. In endeavoring to jump
onto car driven by an older brother,
James was thrown against a tree
with such force as to cut and tear his
scalp and to bruise and scratch his
face. Several stitches were neces-
sary to close the worst of the wounds.
While the injuries are not so serious
but that it is expected they will heal
without leaving noticeable scars, they
are extremely painful and it will be
several weeks before James is his US

REDWOOD FALLS
BAND TO BE LEAD
BY H. H. ALLEN
MINNEAPOLIS MAN EMPLOYED
AS LEADER; ORGANIZATION
MEETING TO BE HELD MON
DAY EVENING AT CITY HALL.

H. H. Allen of Minneapolis is COM
ing to Redwood Falls to reorganize
and lead the defunct Scenic City Band
and the city is promised band of con-
siderable size within the next
several weeks. Professor Allen was
in the city Tuesday and Wednesday
and will return the first of next
week.
The organization meeting will be
held at the City Hall Monday evening,
June IA ands Mr.. Allen states that ne
will take musicians from eight years
up to eighty. They will receive the
same instruction as is usually given
at a college or music school ON the
instruments used. All who have in
struments are urged to bring them.
Those not having instruments are urg-
ed to attend and arrange for the study
on the instruments of their choice
In Mr.. Aliens estimation, after max
ing a survey Of the field, this COM
munity should have q band of fifty
pieces and, if he is given the coopera
tion of both old and young musicians,
he is confident he can have such an
organization functioning within the
next few weeks.
Mr.. Allen comes to Redwood Falls
well equipped for the work of band
leading and well recommended by thu
people whom he has, served in this
capacity in the past. He has recent
ly been the leader of the Minnesota
Lake Band and the Jacobs Musica
Monthly, in speaking of his work there
says:
"The Minnesota Lake School BanG
organized and directed by Prof. H. H
Allen of Minneapolis made it's firs1
public appearance at the school sen
Tor class play, after only three months
of rehearsing and with credit to it
self and instructor. The program
rendered by this young band was &
surprise to even its most ardent "roo+-
ers" and enthusiastic supporters, VIII.
had declared in fear and TREMBLING
that three-months band could mo-
possibly play music which at all res
embed that of real honest drum
ming band, but it DID, and the fol.
lowing clipping from the Minnesots
Lake Tribune will give an idea of the
progress made:
"The first appearance of the Juv-
emile Band evoked much comment UP
on its remarkable advancement under
the able tutelage of Prof. Allen OF
Minneapolis, conductor. 1t is no small
skill that in three months time pro
duces from raw material such musical
harmony as was displayed in the mum
bers given. Prof. Allen and his
band are to be commented for their
share in making the program a sue
cess" %ss.sf5,ss -
Two months later the same paper
printed Nv
'The music was furnished by the
Juvenile Band We want to extend
a hand of congratulation to the band
and its leader, Prof. Allen. The inn
provement is wonderful; the boys play
with unison and precision that would
do credit to older and more celebrated
bands. If the good work continues,
we shall surely have high-c1ass band
in short time"
