certain of this because a scrimmage
was held Saturday. The teams SEEM

minutes neither team made any
baskets. A quick throw from Cole

in the only basket of the workout.

STOCKTON'S CREW
BOUNCES new ULM
Willmar Wins Saturday Night;
New Ulm Given Severe Trim
ming Tuesday

Playing hard, fast basketball
throughout the game, Coach Ken
;tockton's Red and White basketball
cam won from New Ulm at that
place, last night, 24-13. The game,
played on the armory floor where the
coming district tournament is to be
held next week, marked the second
win of the season over New Ulm and
indicated that Redwood Falls will be
one of the strongest teams in the
meet. Previous to this victory, Red
wood Falls had its long string of
successive wins snapped here Satur-
day by Willmar, 2O-l9, in a game
that was marked by unusually fast
play.
Both teams opened last nights
play with a cautious otfense and
close checking defense with New Ulm
scoring first on a gift shot closely
followed by field goal. With the OPP
ponents leading 80 the Redwood
scoring machine went to work and,
after slipping into a 5-3 lead, grad
ually drew away at the half it stood
at ia mainly due to the sharpshoot-
ing of Laidlaw, Cuff and Bravinder
with Tom Finn and Arnett playing
a strong floor game. New Ulm fail
ed to score field goal after its early
success until late in the fourth quart
er after the game had turned into
rough and tumble affair
Changing the offensive tactics in
the third quarter Redwood elected to
play more deliberate floor game and
draw out the opposing defense with
the result that Stockton's cagers
broke into many open breaks and ran
up a lead that was never threatened.
With Redwood Falls scoring freely
many fouls resulted as a result of
New Ulm tactics in attempting to
stop the rout. New Ulm scored but
three goals from the field with seven
points coming finn free throws.

NELSP. LARSEN
BURIED IN LUCAN
County Commissioner Laid to
Rest Last Saturday Morning
in Lucan Cemetery

Funeral service of County Commits
sioner Nels P. Larsen, who met death
tragically last Wednesday morning
when his car caught afire near Lucan
and he was burned to death, were
held Saturday morning at the Cath
Ollie church in Lucan with Rev. Faith
er kerns officiating. Interment was
made at the Lucan cemetery.
Mr.. Larsen was born in Denmark
on December "a, 1873, coming to this
country in 1881 at the afe of Is years.
In 1889 a tract of land was purchased
in Granite Rock township where the
family lived. Mr.. Larsen attended Min
schools in Denmark and also in Min
nesota and learned farming. In 1896
he bought farm from his father and
farmed the land, renting it in 1902
and accepted a position as manager
and buyer for the Sleepy Eye Milling

In 1909 he became cashier in the

HIGH COURT RULES
ON TELEPHONE CASE
Supreme Court Hands Down
Decision in Redwood County
Rural Telephone Case

Last Friday the Supreme Court of
this state handed down its decision in
the we'll known Redwood County Ru-
raj Telephone case brought by A. M.
Dennistoun, d. r. McCorquodale, j.
S. Gunelson, N. l.. Quessenberry, and
William Lindeman against George M.
Davis, Ed. Nelson, George Nelson,
John Welter and w. P. Neitzke. 1t
will be remembered that this was an
action to try the title to an office
wherein both groups claimed to have
been elected as officers at the 1928
election.
Among other things the Supreme
Court stated, 1.-The defendant Davis,
being a purchaser of the shares of
stock in question, the transfers
thereof were concededly valid as to
him and he acquired legal title there
to. He stands in no better position
than if his stock purchases had been
properly entered on the books. Meth
er he nor his associates are in posi-
ton to claim any rights because he
designedly failed to have the trans
fers entered on the books of the cor
poration. Davis attempted, by the
use of proxies of former owners, to
vote in their names stock owned by
himself. In so doing he sought to
evade the requirement that the trans
fers should be entered on the stock
books and the provision that each
stakeholder was entitled to only one
vote. Except that he and his asso-
ciates sought by these means to gain
control of the corporation, there is
no indication of fraud or improper
motives. We are nevertheless unable
to sustain the validity of this use of
proxies"
The result is that the Supreme
Court finds that the plaintiffs Den
nistoun, McCorquodale and Gunelson
were elected as directors at the 1928
election, in place of the defendants
Nelson, Welter and Neitzke.
