Drops Again After Light Rainfall
Temperature Above 100 Monday for Fourteenth
Time This Summer; City Among Hottest
Places in State

Showers early Tuesday morning
brought relief from the intense heat
to residents of this section of the
state for the first time in over two
weeks. Little more than .16 inches of
rain fell but it was sufficient to snap
the long hot and dry spell which has
been constant here since July II when
the last rain fell.
The most recent heat wave reached
its peak Monday when the thermo-
meter reached 108 degrees which has
been touched but once before in the
history of the local weather records
compiled by N. B. Andersen. This
temperature recorded here for the
first time June % of this year is a
record for Redwood Falls. In addi-
tion to reaching the highest mark the
thermometer went above 100 degrees
Monday for the fourteenth time this
summer.
Redwood Falls has consistently
recorded temperatures among the
highest in the state this summer. The
local bureau had the hottest weather
in the state with a record mean
temperature of 1877 degrees for the
month of June and it's maximum
temperature was topped only by
Candy which recorded 110 degrees
the same day Redwood Falls found
the thermometer rising to 108.
Precipitation here has also been
far below the normal amount with
but LAG inches having fallen to date

Clements to Abandon
2-Year High School
Students to be Transported to
Nearby Accredited School
by Bus

Voters in School District Number
Is, Clements, agreed at the recent
annual meeting to abandon the two
year high school course and to trans
port the students elsewhere. Over
crowding of the present building and
taxing of teaching capacity caused
the voters to make this move. There
are about 20 students of that place
and vicinity who will be affected by
the change.
The proposed plan would be to
transport the students to a nearby
accredited high school, possibly Red
wood Falls, in order to provide the
part of the educational system to be
ommitted from the Clements system.
1t is probable the transporting of the
students will be done by means of
bus.

Mrs. George A. Jaehning of Marshall,

DAN |. CRIMMINS
RECOVERING FROM
SEVERE INJURIES
Redwood Falls Man Badly In.
jured in Automobile
Collision
CARS MEET HEAD-ON
Two Others Hurt in Crash on
Highway 5 Near ShakOpee
Friday Afternoon

D. L. Crimmins, who was severely
Injured Friday about p. m. in an
automobile crash near Shakopee, is
reported to be recovering in hos
pital at that place. Recent reports
indicated his injuries to be far less
serious than first supposed. He was
permitted to sit up in bed Tuesday.
Mr.. Crimmins received broken
knee cap, a lacerated arm with the
ligaments badly torn, injuries about
the chest and cuts and bruises about
the hands and face when his car
crashed head-on into another con-
tanning Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Trippe
and three children of near Brownton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trippe were both cut
about the hands and face but were
not seriously hurt. The children were
not injured.
Mr.. Crimmins was returning to the
city on Highway No. 5 after a busi-
ness trip to the Twin Cities while the
Trippe car was going east when the
two cars met about five miles north
of Shakopee.
According to Trippe's version of
the collision he noticed Mr.. Crimmins
seemingly slumped over the wheel of
his car as the two machines met.
Sensing something wrong with Mr..
Crimmins he attempted to avoid the
crash by swerving to the left of the
approaching machine and as he did
this Crimmins suddenly pulled his car
back on that side and the two collid-
ed.
The Trippe car, a large sedan,
struck the small coupe head-on and
Crimmins was thrown to the pave
ment. Neither car was ditched as
the highway there is a three lane
paved road with considerable space
on both sides. The accident took
place near the top of the Minnesota
valley terrace, short distance east
of where highways and II inter-
sect.
The exact cause of the accident is
unknown although there are numer-
Gus theories. The most plausible
however, is that Mr.. Crimmins either
fell asleep momentarily or was blind
ed by the glaring sun as he turned
the corner at the top of the hill. There
is also a possibility that Trippe did
not act quickly enough to avoid the
crash.

Cottonwood Bank
Robbers Escape
Four Men Take More Than
$4,000; Force Seven
Into Vault

Four armed bandits who held UP
the State Bank of Cottonwood Thurs
day of last week and fled with $4,000
and $4,000 in cash have not yet been
apprehended.
The robbery was the fifteenth of
the year in Minnesota and followed
closely upon the heels of the Staples
robbery where bandits escaped with
$4,000 July Is.
The gunmen forced seven persons,
including six officers and employees
and customer, to lie on the floor
while they helped themselves to
money in the cashiers cage and in
the vault. An accomplice sat at the
wheel of an automobile parked in
front of the bank, while three raiders,
all armed with revolvers did the
york.
AS the leader shouted, sect down
on the fioor," other gunmen covered
five persons in the front part of the
bank. A few seconds later they fore
ed two more victims in the back room
to lie on the floor.
The bandits, dressed in overalls,
worked swiftly. They took all the
money in the bank, including pennies,
nickels, and dimes.
Before departing the gunmen fore
ed the victims in the vault and lock-
ed the door. A few minutes after the
gunmen left the victims liberated
themselves and spread the alarm.
The bandits headed north in large
car bearing Minnesota license plates.
1t is thought they went in the direc-
tion Of Granite Falls, about Is miles
north of Cottonwood.
Operatives of the Minnesota Bank
ers' association and the state bureau
of criminal apprehension were sent
to the scene few minutes after the
soldup was reported.
: The license plates on the bandits
Ear were stolen from the machine of
w. o. Schneider of Wheaton July 9.

Senator LaWlOr
 Bill May Pass
(Continued from Page D

Senator Lawlor made a brief ad- dress. He called attention to the mum Der of people who are killed an- nually while walking on state high ways and declared that the provosion of his bill would prevent just such happenings.
 The bill calls for the appointment of commission to study the need of protection for pedestrians and to devise a scheme of equipping state highways with safety paths. That thi, commission will be named appears. likely. this commission is to report back in about eight weeks. Should the Lawlor bill pass the system of constructing highways in Connecticut would be revolutionized, in way. In the future all specifica- tions would require provisions ,foy footpaths at least on one side ot every highway so that walking; places for pedestrians may be avail able.
 Two years ago State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald strenuously opposed a similar bill in- troduced by Senator Lawlor. Tester day, though. he did not appear at the hearing and he was not represented by anybody. Therefore the bill went into the committee for study with no opposition recorded.
