LOCALS TO BATTLE
RANGE CHAMPIONS
IN INITIAL CONTEST
Powerful Range Team to Meet
Redwood Falls High Quint
at Tournament
TEAM LEAVES TODAY
Many Redwood Fans to Attend
Opening Contest at Field
House Thursday p. NJ.

Redwood Falls high school basket
ball team, entrant from Region and
one of the eight teams competing for
the state championship, will meet
meet Chisholm tomorrow afternoon
at four o'clock at the University
FieldhouSe in the second game of the
tournament. MoOrhead and Wells
will clash at three o'clock in the
opener while the evenings schedule
together with Columbia Heights and
Mechanic Arts playing. the night-cap.
The 1880 edition of the Red and
White will be the first basketball
team to appear in state high school
basketball tournament and, while not
ranked as a favorite, is club that
must be reckoned with before award
ing any championship consideration.
Coach Stockton has guided his charg-
es through the season without de-
feat in the district in either the re-
gular schedule or the district tourna-
ment in addition to defeating two
other tournament winners in the re-
gional Two games have been lost
during the season, both of these go
ing to Willmar by identical scores,
20-19. While Willmar was not vic
torious in its region, Columbia
Heights, the winner, was forced to
the limit to win by two points.
Stockton will likely select his
starters from Ward Cuff, Don Laid

impressive record and has been tout

being one Of the favorites along with
Red Wing and Moorhead, the latter
being the defending champion. The
Range has not been represented by a
strong contender during the past few
years and this years aggregation Is
receiving unusual publicity as a title

MOTHER, TWO SONS
BURNED TO DEATH
IN MONDAY BLAZE
Mrs. F. NJ. StrOnach and Sons,
George and Gordon, Die in
Flaming House
BROTHER DIES TUESDAY
Tragedy at Delhi Is the Worst
in Redwood County in
Recent Years

Probably the greatest tragedy IN
recent years in the history of Red
wood county occurred early last Mon
day morning when four people lost
their lives in a fire at the Francis
Stronach farm, about one mile south
of Delhi. The dead are Mrs. Francis
Stronach, her two sons, George, IL,
and Gordon, 10 and William Stron-
ach, brother Of Francis. The
mother and two sons were burned to
death at the fire and William receiv-
ed severe burns and died at the Red
wood Falls hospital early Tuesday
morning.
The fire was discovered by Mr..
Stronach at about 800 a. M, Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stronach and the
youngest child, Marjory Ann, aged 3,
were in bed in a sleeping room on
the first floor of the home when the
blaze was first noticed. The fire was
apparently confined to the kitchen in
a wood box and the wall above the
box.
Upon discovery of the fire Mr.. and
Mrs. Stronach wrapped the youngest
child, with whom they were sleeping,
in blanket and took it outside.
From there they both rushed in to
awaken and try to save the others in
the upper part of the flaming house.
Mr.. Stronach never saw his wife
after they both went in the house.
He was unable to reach the two old
er children, George and Gordon, who
were burned to death in their bed.
Upon being driven back to the first
floor by the flames, Mr.. Stronach
stumbled over the bodies of his broth
er, William, and son, Calvin, age six.
He smashed window and threw the
bodies out and made his escape
thro,, IN the same window.
WiIliam evidently awakened by
the smoke, arose and grabbed young
Calvin and started down the stairs
where they were both overcome by
smoke before being discovered ~ Mr..
StrOnach.
After seeing that there was no
chance to save the others in the burn
ing house, Mr.. Stronach placed the
two children who had been saved, and
his brother in his auto and took them
to his neighbor, Mr.. Neil Mckay's,
where they were all taken to the
Redwood Falls hospital.

RELIEF FROM CURSE
OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Greek physician says,
Constipation is responsible for more
misery than any other cause.
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexau Order
lies has been discovered. TLis tab
let attracts water from the system
into the lazy, dry, evacuation bowel
called the colon. The water loosens
the dry food waste and causes gentle
thorough, natural movement with
out forming a habit or ever increas-
ing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipation.
Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night.
Next day bright. Get "a for &c
today at the nearest Rexall Drug
store.
