BLOODHOUNDS HUNT
MEN WHO ROBBED 4
STORES AT MORGAN
Burglars Escape With More
Than 500 in Raids
Tuesday Night
FAIL AT PONCIN GARAGE
Thieves Take Cash, Leave Food
and Clothing; Escape
i'm Automobile

Redwood county authorities are
searching with bloodhounds for band
it's who entered and robbed four
places and tried to break into fifth
at Morgan Wednesday morning some
time between one and four o'clock.
They escaped with money from each
place. Sheriff L. ]. Kise and Deputy
Harry Beatty were called.
The four places are: Morgan Inn
plement Shop, Ford Garage, The Big
Store and Bertrang's Drug store.
They also tried to break into Poncin's
garage.
The burglars entered the imple-
ment shop after breaking window.
They stole $1O4.82 and then made
their getaway through the same
window. They also broke window
in the Ford garage to gain admit
lance and gathered together all the
small change and a fiashlight before
they left. The amount stolen from
the garage was a little over two dol
lars.
They then went to the Big Store
and searched until they found the
coal chute. They crawled down the
chute and up stairs. They opened the
cash drawer and found three dollars
in small change.
At the drug store the bandits had
to break another window and made
away with four dollars.
Fail at Garage
1t was after the fourth visit that
they attempted Poncin's garage but
could not get in so made their get-a-
way.
When they crawled out of the win
dow in the garage they stepped into
some soft substance that the gar
age men had been throwing out. The
sheriff discovered the footprints, and
came back to Redwood Falls and got
two of his bloodhounds. He took
them each to these four places at
Morgan to have them trace the band
it's. The dogs traced the tracks from
every place to the same location on
side street in the east part of town.
From the tracks it appeared a car
had picked the thieves up and car
ried them away. To make sure that
it was the same group that tried to
break into the garage, the dogs were
taken to this garage and given the
scent. The dogs followed the tracks
to the same street and location.
1t is presumed by authorities that
II 1
siders as local people would probably
not attempt to rob five places in one
night. The thieves were after only
money as they took no food or cloth
ing.

HIGHS Face Window Here Saturday
After $50 Trimming at NeW UZn1

The local football team represent
ing Redwood Falls high school, will
make it's first home appearance this
season Saturday at 2 p. m. The
players will dedicate the new athletic
field which is located on the Lincoln
school grounds.
Considerable interest has been
manifested on the part of the public
in the past to have their field fully
equipped for the scheduled contests.
The time has finally arrived when
this is a reality and spectators are
able to enjoy the central location of
the field. The side lines are equipped
with the bleachers which the school
purchased several years ago. These
bleachers have foot-rests and are
comfortable. Some 800 spectators
can be accommodated.
The management is anxious to
secure the full cooperation of the
community to assist in the admission
of spectators and also to assist in the
matter of all spectators being re-
sponsible to pay their admission
charge. There are no fences enclos-
ing the field to make this an easy
matter to handle. The school is there
fore looking to the public to cooper
ate in the matter.
Since the bleachers are adequate
to accommodate the spectators, the
management is asking that all spec
tators remain seated during the
game. 1t retards the game and also
the possibility of the players to do
their best when spectators are con-
tlnually crowding on the field and
moving up and down the side lines.
The price of admission has been re-
duced from so cents to 35 cents. This
should be an attractive admission fee
and the public is expected to CO.
operate with the local schools in try
ing TO meet the matter of making
football pay by turning out better at
this reduced admission fee. 1t costs
money to play football, since it in
voives carrying large squad of men.
student tickets are sold at school.
The public is also advised that two
parts OF the field are bounded by pro-
perry not owned by the school. 1t is
that the spectators respect
the property of others and that none
trespass, j. H. Wichman, superinten-
dent, points out. This refers to the
property on the east end of the field
and the property to the northeast,
known as the Gerstman property.
Work was begun early this sum-
mer preparing this field. The field
was too narrow and the ditch along
the south side had to be filled with
dirt from the hill on the west end. |
The goal posts were brought in from
the fair grounds.
All home games will be played on
The new held. Music will be furnish
I'd by the high school band.

Rival With Hot Coffee

A dispute Friday between the two
gypsy tribes who were camping at
the fair grounds during the county
fair ended in one woman being sent
to the hospital and several others
nursing bruises and wounds.
The woman treated at the hospital
was burned around the face and arms
when one of the rival tribe threw a
pot full of steaming coffee over her.
The fight started when one tribe
was accused by the other of stealing
money. Words were exchanged, then
the words were turned to blows and
stones rained thick and fast. Women
ran, children screamed and dogs and
other domestic animals scattered to
the far corners of the camp while the
men fought.
The women became more courage
Gus later and they also entered the
brawl. One picked up kettle full Of
hot coffee and poured it over the body
of the woman that was brought to
the hospital.
Fair authorities were called to
quiet the riot They collected their
bill from the outlaws and sent them
on their way.
Much Of the fight took place inside
> tent and only few who braved
Fridays dismal weather, saw the bat
tie.
Reports current in Redwood Falls
that . gypsy child had been killed IN
the fray were denied by police.
