Ten Acres Added to
Ridgley State Park
Gift of Land by Pioneer Resi-.
dent Follows Purchase of
Right-Of-Way

Donation of a ten acre tract OF
land to the State of Minnesota, by
Joseph Eckert of Gibbon, the land to
become part of Fort Ridgley state
park, was announced this week by c.
M. Babcock, commissioner of high
ways. The Minnesota Highway de-
partment recently let contract fol-
grading a road, six-tenths of a mile
long, to connect the new trunk high
way No. 70, with the state park. This
approach went through land owned
by Mr.. Eckert, and during the nego-
tiations for right-of-way, he express
ed desire to donate to the state the
ten acres lying between the road and
the southern boundary of the park. 1t
is considered valuable acquisition,
as it rounds out the park property.
A deed has been given to the state.
Joseph Eckert came to Nicollet
county with his parents just after the
close of the Civil war. He was then
five years old. His father, who had
been with the Union armies, estab-
lished the Halfway Tavern on the
road between Henderson and Fort
Ridgley. His mother, Franziska Eek
ert, now "a years old, is a resident
Of Gibbon, and the donation of the
tract of land to the state for park
purposes, was made as tribute to
her by her son.

The figure under "earth, standard

grading has been completed but sur
facing left until next year. The re-
port does not tell the full story as to
the grading done during 1881, how
ever, as it does not include several
sections where grading is nearly COM
pleted but not yet in use. Wherever
the grading is on new location and
the old road is still in use, the lat

during the past twelve months for
785 miles of grading work on many
projects is still under way, and it IS
estimated that about $50 miles will,
be completed before January 1.
The pa wing completed is three
times as much as in the average year
since the trunk highway system was
established. The increased construc-
ton was made possible by the bond
issue passed by the last legislature,
increased federal aid, and favorable
prices on materials. The state built

"SOUP KITCHEN"
COUPLE CAUGHT
Couple Who Piled Racket in
Marshall Are Held in
New York

Lyon county will know in day or
two whether Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis,
who are being held in the Wyoming
county Jail at Warsaw, New York, on
"a forgery charge, are the Major and
Mrs. Lindsey who worked the "soup
kitchen" racket in Marshall last Aug
Ast.
Sheriff George Ranking and County
Attorney P. M. Meehle," says the
News Messenger, shave asked that
photographs of the people be sent
here at once for identifcations pur-
poses. There are several people who
still remember the Major easily.
The Lindseys came to Marshall In
August with proposal to establish
a feeding station for tramps. Instead
of giving the buns money, it was
planned to give them tickets of which
all local residents were to have a
supply. The theory was that Mar
shall would soon become known
among the tramps as a "ticket" town
instead of a "cash" town and that all
but the deserving would avoid stop
ping here.
Lindsey claimed he represented the
American Rescue Workers. He car
ried apparently bonafide credentials.
Placing his plan before the Civic and
Commerce association, he was voted
$75 with which to get the work start
ed. He ordered groceries and other
supplies, rented building, then re-
ceived his SIS check. He cashed the
check and then disappeared.
Major Lindsey and the man and
woman who accompanied him wore
uniforms. They asked the Civic as
ISOLATION for moral support only,
planning to raise their funds through
:, one general solicitation and after that
I tambourine solicitations on Saturday
night. The merchants voted to give
them $75 in preference to having
them conduct a soliciting campaign.
In New York the Lewis couple was
] held for passing bad checks. Because
their car bore the same license plates
aas the Lindsey car, it is believed they
:are the same couple that worked the
racket in Marshall"

A net increase of 1854 miles Of
pavement and 721 miles of bitumin-
Gus treated gravel, is shown in the
annual tabulation of the status of
improvement of the trunk highway
system, made public this week by C.
M. Babcock, commissioner of high
ways. Pavement and bituminous
gravel have each reached exactly the
same mileage, 1872, so that more
than one-fourth of the system is paw
ed and more than one half either
paved or bituminous gravel.
Shortening and Strengthening sew
eral routes, in the process of perma-
nent location and grading, has cut off
55.8 miles from the trunk highway
system, but 27.8 miles were con-
structed on T. H. No. 81, where no
road existed before, so the total mile
age is therefore only % miles less
than a year ago. With increases IN
the paved and bituminous surfaced
mileage, there are corresponding de-
creases in the graveled mileage. The

pared to a year ago, is shown below:

TOP TOO VICTORIES
PAST THREE YEARS
Macks' Mark Formerly Held
Beyond Achievement by
John McGraW.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

n yEW YORK, November g.
NJ Despite the wrecking of
i their world series hopes,
Connie Mack's Athletics
salvaged several records from the
seasons play that will give the Hot
Stove Leaguers something to gnaw
on during the Winters tanning
bee. One of these records, which
such an astute observer as John j.
McGraw deemed impossible to
achieve, Is the winning of more
than 100 games each season for
three years in succession.
In the 1881 season the Athletics won
lot games, in 1880 they won 102 and
in 1929 they had 104 victories-a total
of 313 in three successive years. Even
after the AS had passed the century
mark in 1929 and again in 1880, there
wasn't a man in base ball who be-
lieved they would be able to do it the
third year in row.
Twice the Chicago Cubs had a
chance to make this record and both
times they failed When they missed
their mark the second time McGraw
expressed doubt that any club ever
would have another chance to win 100
or more games in three successive
years. In his opinion the major league
races had become SO tight that a club
would be exceedingly lucky to win 100
or more games in two successive years.
So far as the National League was
concerned, McGraw seemed to have
the right idea, for in recent wears
competition in that circuit has been
so vigorous that a team could win a
pennant with fewer than e5 victories.
The Cubs started to make their bid
for fame a quarter of a century ago.
They won 116 games in 1906 and this
still stands as the major league record

This match, the feature Of program

is rare that the customer has an op-
portunity to SEQ two such giants heaV1nS

Neither of them is as good, or as bad,
as sometimes painted. Camera Is game,
can take punishment and has a good
straight left. His right-hand punch

Campolo, who Will weigh around 222,
will have to spot Camera about 40

the Venetian. Calnpolo has murder

believes he can whip Camera and
in the gymnasium, hardened veterans

The American giant is more than an
inch taller than Camera and few
pounds heavier. In spite of that he
is faster than Primo. Also, he is a
short puncher. Experience is what
Impeliteri lacks. And he doesn't know
how he is going to get any now that
he is limited to dreadnaughts like him
seh except by jumping right into the
thick of the warfare between the over
sized heavyweights.
A match between Camera and I'm

Misunderstanding
MATCH IN MAKING

"a VIEW YORK, November g.
M Mickey Walkers third chance
" at a ranking heavyweight
probably will come against
Young Stribling in Madison Square
Garden, December IL, for the New York
Americans Christmas fund.
Negotiations have reached the point
where Stribling's handlers have agreed
to the match, which, If completed, will
send the Macon heavyweight against a
major opponent for the first time since
his decisive defeat by Max Schmenng
in Cleveland July 3.
Walker, who beat Johnny Risko ut
Miami in February and drew with Jack
Sharkey here this Summer, originally
offered his services to the Christmas
fund with the idea of meeting Sharkey
again. The Boston sailor, however,
turned down the bout.
Some observers professed doubt as TO
whether Walkers manager, JACK
Kearns, would agree to the Stribling
match.
They pointed out that prospects OF
title match between Walker and
Schmeling in Los Angeles February ~
recently have looked very rosy and they
doubted whether Kearns would Jeopar-
die such bout by sending Walker
against Stribling.
