Coincident with the "clean
up" campaign against drunken
ness and disorderliness on the
streets which Burgess Magill
inaugurated in New Hope. an
amusing incident recently came
to light.
A certain individual, (whose
name shall not be given be-
cause he proved himself such a
Square shooter" recently
went on a jag. Altho he Great
ed no disturbance, and was
not arrested, he later went to
the Justice, faced the music
and offered to pay fine!
Evidently he thought the fun
he had enjoyed was worth the
price!

D. L. Crimmins was seriously in

was thrown from a horse he was rid

injuries were regarded so seriously
that he was taken to the hospital at
Bismark where his daughter, Miss

and will remain with her husband un-

While accounts of the accident have
been meager, it appears that the in

serious in nature. The report which
reached Mrs. Crimmins stated that
the collar bone and nine ribs are
broken and the heart Jared from its
normal position. It is hoped by his
friends here that later reports may
tell of a less dangerous condition.

drilling the squad and has turned out
a surprisingly good looking team

all football fans as being one of the
fastest, plunging backs ever seen in
this part of the country and he Is
drilling the team with all Of that
determination and ferocity that he
once possessed when playing fullback

the team that did not meet defeat in
four years. He has drilled the back

and the line on defense.
With Hauck and Manning to play
the Quarters position, Hoskin and
Winsell at half and Buff" Carity as
fullback this backfield looms as one
of the greatest scoring combinations

JOINT STOCK
LAND BANK MOVES
TO MINNEAPOLIS
MAINTAINS BRANCH OFFICE IN
REDWOOD FALLS UNDER DIR
ECTION OF AL. VIHSTADT;
MOVED SATURDAY, OCT. 2.

The Southern Minnesota Joint Stock
Land Bank has moved from Redwood
Falls to Minneapolis, the change be-
ing made Saturday, October 2nd@
The institution has leased banking
quarters in the Mcknight Building
in Minneapolis. A. Vihstadt Of Red
wood Falls is left in charge of the
branch office here. Other members
of the banks staff have gone to Min
neapolis, although several families
still remain in Redwood Falls.
The bank has been a Redwood
Falls institution since its organization
several years ago by w. H.. Gold and
J. P. Cooper. Since that time there
have been many changes in its Off
GERS and stockholders and under the
present ownership it seemed expedi-
ent to the directors to move the bank
ing headquarters to larger city. The
loss it a severe one to Redwood Falls
in several ways, chiefly in that it
may take several highly desirable
families away from the city. The
fact that the bank will no longer pay
taxes here also increases the city's
tax problems somewhat.

At the Sunday evening services,

Avon M. E. churches bid Rev. Paul
L. Grove and family farewell. The
services were held in the Redwood
Falls church and were in charge of
L. E. Backer. Mr.. Grove, who recent
ly accepted an appointment to the
Methodist church in Faribault, gave
his last sermon in Redwood Falls
Sunday morning. At the Sunday ev-
ening service Mr.. Grove gave a short
talk regarding his new work, the
work he has done here the past four
years and a word regarding the new
ly appointed minister for Redwood
Falls, Rev. H. F. Alderman, who
comes here from Worthington.
Mr.. Ben Stewig, representing the
church of New Avon bid Reverend
Grove and family farewell as did F..

Falls church. Miss Maude Peterson
gave an organ number. A duet by
Mr.. Dahlbefg and Mr.. Anthony, a
reading by Mrs. Howe and several
songs by the choir completed the
Mr.. Grove started his address by
stating that he had no idea that he
was to be appointed to Faribault;
that he was anxious to build up the
Kingdom and that Faribault was part
of the Kingdom as we'll as Redwood

matter" said the speaker, "In fight
ing sin, soon you will be fighting
people, that is one reason why more
of us do not fight sin. When / am
out to win folks / am not trying to
win them to myself but to God; but
l wish that l could win them to my
self ALSO" Rev. Grove stated that
when he came to Redwood Falls four
years ago, he laid out program
which he had found almost an impos-
sibility to carry out, and it was "only
through the grace of God that have
done as well as I have" In closing
he spoke a few words in favor of
Reverend Alderman, saying that the
Redwood Falls community would be
more than pleased with him. "Rev.

WILLIAM DUNCAN
TAKES POSITION in
MANKATO BANK
MILROY MAN SELECTED FOR
HIGH EXECUTIVE POSITION IN
FIRST NATIONAL BANK AT
MANKATO; STARTS JAN. 1ST.

William Duncan, Junior, who for
the past twenty-four years has been
the head of the State Bank of Milroy,
will leave Redwood County January
lst, having accepted an executive
position in the First National Bank at
Mankato. He will retain his inter-
ests in the Miiroy institution but will
no longer be active there. The posi-
ton at the Mankato Bank is a new
one and Mr.. Duncan will relieve Mr..
Willard, the banks president, of a
part of the demands of his office,
taking up his duties as one of the
banks chief officials. The appoint
ment was unsought by. Mr.. Duncan
and his selection by the banks direc-
tors for this responsible position is a
symbol of the high status of his bank
ing ability.
To Milroy in particular and to Red
wood County as a whole the removal
of the Duncan family brings a keen
sense of loss. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Duncan have been greatly interested
in all phases of public welfare, have
worked to fine purpose on Child We'll
fare and Red Cross Boards since the
war as well as doing much relief work
during the time of the war. Their
absence from au~organizations of this
kind will be felt keenly by those who
must now carry forward this work
without them. They have leased a
home in Mankato and expect to take
up their new residence there the last
of December. Their daughter, Miss
Gretchen Duncan, will attend high
school at Mankato.
