Seniors to Present
Class Play May End
''POlly With a Past" Three Act
Comedy Presentation to Be
Made Friday, May 2

."Polly With a Past" a three act
comedy drama has been chosen as the

atics, will be presented at the Lin
coin school auditorium at eight
o'clock Friday evening, May End.
"Polly With a Past" is two and
a half, twelve character, French
Company play written by George
Middleton and Guy Bolton. The theme
of the play centers around the efforts
Of Polly to manufacture a past in
order to make herself interesting and
attractive. In addition to the play,
the Seniors have arranged between
act fun specialties as well as music
by the high school orchestra.
The proceeds from this play will
be placed in a fund to be used for
purchasing and installing an electric
bell system in the Senior High school
building. This is in accordance with
a decision and agreement made last
year, when the present Senior class
together with the other two classes
of the high school at that time voted
to purchase the electric bell system
as the memorial for the Redwood
Falls classes of 1929, 1880 and 1881.
The staging of class play ranks
second only to Commencement as the
annual outstanding event of the
Senior year. This years class hopes
to surpass last years graduating
class, who at that time set a record
for number attending the gross re-
ceipts.

and reservations may be made at the

Car Run Into River;
Destroyed by Flames
Mystery Surrounds Abandoned
Car Which Is Run Over Red
wood River Bluff

Running a 1925 model Buick road
ster over a forty foot bluff and into
the Redwood River on the Pat Cor
coran farm, about miles southwest
of Redwood Falls last Monday eve
ming creates mystery that authori-
ties have been unable to solve at this
time The car was set afire and left
to burn in the river.
People from the John Seigfried
farm, which borders the Corcoran
place on the north, saw two cars, one
a sedan and the other the roadster,
drive through field at the Corcoran
place. The cars stopped at a gate
leading into pasture on the river.
Both cars went into the pasture and
over a small hill. Some time was
spent by the parties who ran the car
over the bluff, before returning in the
remaining car.
Aroused by the curiosity of the fact
that the one car did not return, peo-
pie from the Seigfried home made an
investigation, thinking that some
parties were fishing in the river. The
roadster was discovered on fire and
up over the running boards in the
river.
Sheriff L. ]. Kise was notified and
made an investigation Tuesday morn
ing, but no reason for the act could
be determined. 1t is probable that
car was stolen and destroyed in this
manner to do away with any evid-
ence. The car did not carry license
plates. Further investigation will be
made.
