Belview Reduces Levy
for School Purposes
By Saving of $4,000

The board of education at Belview
recently approved school budget
which is $4,000 less than for the
previous year, saving of 1877 mills
or about 80 per cent.
According to a statement by the
board, most of the saving will be ac-
complished by a reduction Of teacher
and janitor salaries, the retirement
of school bonds and the elimination
of one teacher through a consolida-
ton of grades.
The tax rate for school purposes
last year was 34.3 mills and will be
approximately 20.6 for next year.
Board members and the superintend-
ent agreed on the change after ar
irving at the conclusion that it could
be accomplished without lowering
educational standards of the school.

Bandits Fire on Car North of
Tracy; Believed to Have
Followed From Here
POLICE MAKE CHECK-UP
Bandits Take Keys From Car
Before Making Escape
Toward Tracy

Donald Inglis, Redwood Falls, was
robbed of $145 in cash Saturday
night by two gunner after a thrill
ing four mile chase 10 miles north of
Tracy.
The masked bandits fled toward
Tracy after taking the keys from the
Inglis car. Besides the cash, $3.50
check was taken.
Donald was on his way to Tracy
with the money to pay H. K. Webb
for shipment of gas received that
day. He noticed car following him
and when he was about IA miles
north of Tracy, the car drove beside
him and motioned him to stop.
Suspecting that it was holdup,
Don swung ahead of them and drove
as fast as his car would go. After
about a mile, the car overlook and
passed him and the passengers yell
ed "Stop or we will shoot your tires
off," Don continued to speed and
was fired on, the shot going through
the left front fender of his car.
The bandit car then stopped in the
middle of the road believing they had
punctured a tire. While they were
preparing to get out Don drove to
the left of the parked car, down in
the ditch and back up on the road to
again lead the race.
The bandits again took up the
chase. They fired again and the Sec
ond shot punctured the right hind
fender. Don stopped his car and
stepped out on the road while the men
approached him. He hid his wallet
under the front seat.
"Give US your ROLL" one of the men
commanded.
Don had about $1.5O in small
change in his overall pocket and
handed that over.
where's the wallet with the big
money!" the bandit asked
At this point, the second man who
had kept out of sight, stepped for
ward and hit Don in the right eye.
They made hurried search of his
clothing and found only receipts and
other paper. Throwing them on the
ground, the men told him to "come
across or something will happen"
Don pointed to under the seat and
one of the men went after the money
while the other covered him with a
gun. While taking the money, he
also took the key from the ignition
switch and warned Don not to follow
them.
When he discovered that they had
stolen his keys from the car, Don ran
to the nearest farm house, two miles
away, and found they had no tele-
phone. The second place he stopped,
the phone was out of order.
By this time, the owner of the
first farm had dressed and got his car
out and picked up Don. They went
to Tracy and called the Marshall
sheriff and Tracy police. Don also
called Redwood police and asked
them to make checkup here. Ar
rests may be made this week.

Tracy Field

Redwood Falls High ended it's
home season Saturday by playing to
scoreless tie with Olivia.
In a game featured by long punts
and incompleted passes, the Card

failure to gain when necessary ruined
chances of victory.

the team later lost the ball on downs.
During the remainder of the first
half, Redwood held the advantage
with Palmer Kise, Ralph Tenney and
Dale Byram alternating for long
gains but the scoring punch was
lacking.
In the second quarter, the Olivia
backs marched from their 33 yard
line to Redwood's 80 yard marker
and then punted out of bounds on the
% yard line.
Kise intercepted a pass late in the
second quarter and was downed in
his tracks. Tenney received 35
yard pass from Kise just before the
half ended.
With the beginning Of the third
quarter, another march started from
the IL yard line, ending deep in Oil
via territory when the ball was lost
on downs as Kise attempted another
pass to Byram.
After exchanging punts Redwood
Falls started another drive in the
fourth quarter which took the ball
down to the Olivia IL yard line. A
pass attempted here was intercepted
by an Olivia back who raced down
the field in the clear to the Redwood
26 yard line before he was caught by
Tenney.

cepted another Redwood pass on
