1t took the shrewd observa-
ton of sob sister" reporter
to discover material within
metropolitan court room which
made Chicago. one OF the
outstanding stage successes.
Maurine Watkins. author of
the play, conceived her plot
around the irony Of justice as
exercised in the average muir
der trial.
As writer assigned to un-
cover the human interest
angles of the principal char
acters involved in murders
which stirred the interest of

stage as it has been outlined

which is booked at the Rialto,
beginning March 3, with Phyllis
Haver, Victor Varconi, Robert
Edeson, Julia Faye, T. Roy
Barnes. Virginia Bradford, May

UNEARTH GRAIN
In EXCAVATINC
Grain, 80 Years Old, Uncovered
at Site of Lumber Co. at
Sleepy Eye.

A small quantity of flax, and wheat,
left in the ruins of the old Bingham
elevator which burned to the ground
thirty years ago last January at
Sleepy Eye and which was later COW
cred with ground, was unearthed the
first of the week by workmen who
are excavating for a new building
being constructed by the Hauser
Lumber company. The new building
will serve as office quarters and a
warehouse and will face North Fifth
street at point just north of the old
Beckenhauer building.
In mapping out the building and
stalking the ground Henry Hauser Of
Minneapolis, president of the Hauser
Lumber company, was entirely I'M
aware of the fact that the Bingham
elevator thirty years ago had occu-
pied this same site.
When workmen started exacating
and reached depth of several feet
they struck the rock foundation of
the old Bingham plant. The side
walls came down practically in line
with those of the old elevator and
only along the north side did the
wall, as originally staked out, fail
to come down in line with that of the
old elevator. There was a difference
of only a foot or more.
Although the grain was charred as
a result of the fire, some of the kerr
nels were hard and in good shape,
especially the wheat. The grain was
discovered at depth of about six
feet, and likewise some of the ruins
of the old Bingham elevator which
was pioneer Sleepy Eye institution.

While driving through Fairfax last
Thursday, enroute to the Sunday
School picnic held at Ramsey State
Park, Redwood Falls, John E. Eric
son, driving a new Willys-Knight
collided with Buick sedan, driven
by Miss Norma Albrecht, daughter
of Rev. and Mrs. Albrecht of Fairfax.
The accident occurred at what is
known as Colby's corner, where trunk
lines Nos. IA and intersect. The
Ericsson car struck the Buick mid
ship and luckily occupants of either
car escaped serious injury. Occupy
ing the Ericsson car were Mr.. Eric
son, the driver, Mrs. F. F. Hall and
daughter, Jean, VIM. Peterson and
daughter, Edna, and the Misses Effie
Blomgren and Orma Main. Miss AL
brecht and her sister occupied the
Buick sedan. A few Of the parties re-
ceived cuts and bruises of a minor
nature. Both machines were damaged
necessitating repairs. One of the
front lamps, the radiator and the front
axle was damaged on the Ericsson car
and the running board and fender was
the sum total of damage to the AL
brecht auto. This is slight matter
when one takes into consideration that
the parties figuring in the mishap
escaped serious if not fatal injury.
The Fairfax Standard says in part:
"This is bad corner and the council
has taken the matter up with the
state highway department to have
stop signs put up along No. Ia through
the village to avoid future accidents +"
