SLEEPY EYE NEWSPAPER
THREATENED BY FIRE

Fire, which broke out in the base
ment, threatened to destroy the plant
Of the Sleepy Eye Herald ispath
Wednesday afternoon, June Is. The
blaze was not discovered until it had
gained considerable momentum and
it was some time before the fire
fighters could subdue it. Despite the
damage caused the newspaper APP
peared at its regular time, Thursday.
Entrance to the seat of the flames
was limited to a narrow front win
dow and twenty-foot passageway
in the rear and it was with difficulty
the Sleepy Eye fremen could direct
water on the fire. However, the fire
there was extinguished with compar-
atively little damage to machinery
and paper stock stored there.
Twice after the retirement Of the
firemen blazes were discovered in the
walls of the building and put out the
first with a chemical extinguisher.
The second was more serious and
necessitated return of the fire depart
ment.

RELEASE AS BONDSMEN
ASKED AT SLEEPY EYE

County Attorney T. o. Streissguth
received formal notice Tuesday, that
Matt Bertrand and Roy Palmer, both
of Sleepy Eye, desired to be released
as bondsmen for A. B. Theobald,
also of that city, who pleaded guilty
to embezzlement of funds belonging
to his former employers, the Mar
shall Ice Cream company, says the
Brown County Journal.
"The reason for this request was
that the bondsmen had become sus-
picious of Theobald's actions. They
reported that he was observed on a
train, and believed to be bound for
Kansas City, Mo. Mr.. Streissguth
Immediately applied to District
Judge Gislason for a bench warrant,
for Theobald's apprehension, and he
was taken from a freight train, in
the Northwestern railroad yards at
New Ulm, Tuesday afternoon at g
o'clock. The man was remanded to
the custody of Sheriff Reitter, until
such time as he will be able to Sec
ure new bodsmen. Theobald claims
that he had no intentions of going to
Kansas City, but was on his way to
st. Paul, where he desired to apply
for a position with bakery concern.

MINNESOTA POPULATION
SHOWS INCREASE OVER 1920

The population of Minnesota will
pass the 100000 mark, census re-
turns from scattered villages, cities
and townships indicate. The popula-
ton of the state in 1920 was 1887
125, of which 1,051,593 lived in the
villages, towns and cities and 1885,
532 lived on the farms. From the
census returns received from the ru-
raj districts it is indicated that the
country population is holding its own
compared with 1920. Some commu-
mites show losses while others have
recorded good gains.

KIPP is MARINE
DISASTER HERO

Sergeant Harry E. Kipp, son of
Mrs. w. v. Stimson of Winnebago
was one of the four marines who dis
played great heroism when their
steamer Fairfax rammed an oil
tanker near Boston in tragedy that
claimed forty-six lives last Tuesday
night. He and three other marines
took charge of subduing the panic
and rescuing the passengers while
the flames surrounded them and
many were jumping overheard into
lake of burning oil.
The fire was put out after a long
battle in which several of the volun-
teer firemen were burned or affected
by the dense smoke. Kipp saw four
persons leaps over the side Of the
Fairfax, one wearing life belt.
Flames covered them and they were
shrieking. Most of those who dived
overheard were Negroes.
Sergeant Kipp enlisted in the navy
at the age of Is. He served out two
and a half years in the world war.
During the period of enlistment he
made five trips across the Atlantic
in convoy. He graduated from Win
nebago high school and worked his
way through college. He received
minor burns while fighting the fire
that night.-Sentinel

WATONWAN COUNTY TO
JOIN WORTHINGTON DIST.

At special meeting of the Waton-
wan county commissioners it was de-
cided by unanimous vote that Wa
tonwan county should join the South
western Sanatorium district, or the
Worthington district, as it is called.
1t was decided to present formal
petition, which will be acted upon by
the various county boards compris-
ing the district.
Watonwan county has thus been
eliminated from the proposed dis
trict, to be formed from counties in
this part of the state.

THE RED CROSS AND
THE TORNADO VICTIMS

The American Red Cross, as it in
variably does, has stepped forward
to minister to the needs of those who
suffered in the tornado of last week.
To do the pob efficiently, that organ
ization will require $4,000.
The sum of $4,000 should be rails
ed with little difficulty and it will be
raised with little difficulty if those
appealed to are sensitive to the fact
that even tornado Of relatively
small proportions can infict intense
and grievous damages. A storm
which devastates an entire country
side has certain spectacular appeal.
1t is more apt to cut the public's
purse strings than one which vents
its fury on small scale. Yet the
victims of last weeks tornado suf-
fered quite as acutely as they would
had suffered had the storm ragged
throughout the entire northwest and
carried disaster to tens of thousands.
Death brought the same overburden-
ing sense of sorrow. Injuries were
quite painful and needed the same
careful and prolonged attentions.
Homes were quite as ruthlessly des-
troyed, barns as ruthlessly crushed
beyond hope of repair, and livestock
losses were quite as heavy as if the
storm area had stretched from the
Great Lakes to the Rocky mountains.
The tornado, perhaps, may be rank
ed as minor catastrophe, but for
those in Minnesota and Wisconsin
who felt it's full force, it created
major needs, major sufferings, and
major problems to be solved. In
terms of the individual victim, if not
in terms of geography and casualty
lists, the tornado was hideous cat
astrophe. And it is to the individual,
still stunned and dazed by the
storms brutality, that the Red Cross
prepares to extend ministering
hand.-Minneapolis Tribune.

WORTHINGTON TO HAVE

The city Of Worthington is coming

by a margin of three to one, the

neapolis. Plans are already being
made for the construction of the
plant and it is thought that service
will be available by the middle of

SO ARE UNEMPLOYED
IN JACKSON COUNTY

That the unemployment situation
is not nearly as critical in the coun-

tiers of population is evidenced by re-
ports given out recently from the Of
flee of j. V. Weber of Slayton, sup
ervisor of the census for the district
in which Jackson county is located.
The preliminary returns show only
eight-nine people actually out of
work in Jackson county and 32 in
Cottonwood county. These represent
only those persons reported as with
out job, abel to work and looking
