DELAY GAS PLANS,
VOTERS DECIDE AT
ELECTION TUESDAY
|eNO" Vote Exceeds Total Cast
For Franchise and City,
Owned Project
MASS MEETING HELD
Survey Report Showed Majority
Interested in Municipal
Installation Here Il

Redwood Falls voted to table con-
sideration of a gas plant both as a
owned project or under
a franchise, at a straw vote election
Tuesday.
The official count of ballots was:
for the granting of a franchise, II;
for the establishment of municipal
ly owned plant, 1874; for tabling con-
sideration of the matter, 26S. Eight
voters marked both franchise and
municipal ownership and ten other
ballots were spoiled, making a total
Of SAP votes cast.
Mass Meeting
The election followed a mass meet
ing held Monday night at which de-
tails of the project were explained by
Mayor H. D. Thorp, Lee Barker and
H. H. Henley and questions were ask
ed.
Mr.. Henley stated that 1856 signed
applications for gas service had been
obtained by his company in its survey,
38 of which signed under franchised
plan of distribution while SO signed
under the city-owned plan. Thirty
four of these signed for gas under
either plan while six persons signed
statements that they were not inter-
ested in gas under either plan.
Will Be Back
Mr.. Henley stated Wednesday MORN
ing before he left Redwood Falls for
what he termed parts unknown that
he will probably be back soon to make
a survey of the individual signers for
gas and devise some plan whereby
they can be supplied.
He limited that if gas should come
to some town within a radius of so
miles, his company would install it
here, using only private alleys and
property to do away with the neces-
sity of securing permission from the
council.

2-YEAR-OLD CHILD
BURNS IN WABASSO
BARN FIRE FRIDAY
Funeral Services Held Saturday
at st. AIMS Church; Burial
at WabaSSO
WAS ASLEEP IN SHED
Wabasso Fire Department Call
ed When Brother Sees
Flames; Origin Unknown

A two-year-old child, the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Lensing of near Wa
basso was burned to death Friday at
ternoon in fire that totally destroy
ed the barn, a shed and the chicken
house on his fathers farm.
The fire which started at approx
mately 2:30 p. m. destroyed several
tons of new hay, killed several head
of livestock and ruined small grain
and corn which were stored in the
granary.
Little Albert was playing in the
yard with his brothers and sisters
when he slipped away unnoticed and
crawled through small hole in a
shed adjoining the barn, where it IS
believed that he fell asleep.
Soon afterwards flames were not
iced in the barn by one OF the broth
ers who ran to the house and told his
mother. She called her husband and
helpers from the field and notified the
Wabasso fire department.
The youngest son was missed at
once but the barn was ALREADY purH-
ing so much that it could not be en-
tered and search was started in adj
joining buildings.
When the fire department arrived,
the building was nearly gone and the
men confined their work to keeping it
from spreading beyond the chicken
house which is located a few feet
from the barn.
Funeral services for the child were
held from St. AIMS Catholic church
in Wabasso Saturday morning with
Rev. Eichinger in charge. Burial was
made in the Wabasso cemetery.
He is survived by his father, moth
er and eight brothers and sisters,
Dorothy, Walter, Harold, Bernard,

scalp was lacerated, Jerome Enge-
bretson who suffered cuts and bruises

Man BROWNS WHEN
BOAT CAPSIZES IN
LAMBERTON POOL
Resuscitation Attempts Fail At
ter Friends Bring Body
to Shore

Joe Hammerschmidt, 80, a farmer
living near Wabasso, was drowned
Sunday at $3.50 p. m. in the pool at
Kuhar park near Lamberton when q
boat in which he and two other young
men were riding, capsized.
He was pulled out of the water by
his companions and dragged ashore
where artificial respiration was ap-
piled for more than an hour. Al
though his heart continued to beat
for nearly an hour, the effort to re-
store breathing proved useless.
The three men left Wabasso Sum
day morning for Lamberton where
they spent part of the day around
Kuhar park. After noon they hired
a boat and went rowing.
George Breu, Wabasso, decided to
take some pictures and went ashore
for his camera. AS he was returning,
he saw it capsize. He knew Hammer
schmidt could not swim and started
for him. When he reached the scene
Hammerschmidt grabbed him and
pulled him down.
Breu broke loose and swan to shore
for more help. When he returned,
Hammerschmidt was under and it was
necessary to dive to locate him. Seven
minutes was spent in the search be-
fore one of the men pulled him out
of the water and to shore. The other
man, meanwhile, had reached safety
unaided.
Joe Hammerschmidt is the second
oldest son of Mrs. Margaret Hammer
schmidt who lives on farm one mile
from Wabasso. With the help Of a
brother, he has been managing the
farm on which they live.
Funeral services were held at st.
AIMS Catholic church in Wabasso
Wednesday and burial was in the Wa
basso cemetery.

COLEMAN PROMISES
HOTEL IMPROVEMENT
WITH BETTER TIMES
Will Build Addition to Ramsey
when Conditions Warrant"
His Statement Says

A. j. Coleman, proprietor of the
Ramsey Hotel, issued the following
statement Wednesday, concerning
the proposed new hotel for Redwood
Falls.
Redwood Falls has at the present
time two good modern hotels which
are capable of handling the volume of
business available. Neither of them
has been sufficiently crowded in the
last year and one-half to necessitate
turning away patrons. I do not be-
lieve we are losing any appreciable
business to other towns because. Of
better accommodations ava ilable
there.
"The hotel business in towns the
size of Redwood Falls has suffered
severely in recent months because of
the reducing of sales forces of many
large concerns who formerly sent
travelling men here and by the reduc-
ed tourist trade.
"a year and a half ago I seriously
contemplated building an addition to
the Ramsey hotel on property ada
cent to it, which / own. This addi-
ton was to consist Of Is rooms with
bath, elevator and other improve
ments. I would have done this but
for the arrival Of the depression.
When such improvements are war
ranted here, will make them myself
or will be glad to offer Redwood Falls
citizens who are interested in the
hotel business the opportunity to in
vest their money in the project"

comes fairly close to doing it. Yale's
record so far is better than Harvards,
and on comparative scores 1t seems to
have something Of pre-game margin.
Smaller, it is true, but the Lchlgh-
LAFAYETTE game at Easton has all the
trimmings of that between Yale and
Harvard. For many years Lehigh and
Lafayette have fought out their very
real rivalry on the gridiron, and the
team that lcSes feels that its season, no
matter how good beforehand, is ruined
1t is the one game that alumni of both
Lehigh and Lafayette always try to see.
out in Indiana is another game be-
~ tween two schools between which
the rivalry not only is noted in
foot ball but in everything else. This is
the Indiana Purdue contest. What
these two universities think of each
other they seldom say. To Purdue, In
diana represents the effete, one type OF
cultural development that some people
do not like. On the other hand, Pur-
due is called by Indiana and others the
Boilermakers, and Indiana Is said to
look at Purdue in just that way.
Anyway, some of the bitter rivalry OF
former years has mellowed, with broader
outlooks, and most of the harsh things
OF those days have now become JeStS;
but the rivalry in athletics still remains
and is none the less keen. Last year at
the annual conference of Governors OF
the several States Gov. Leslie OF Indiana
told the writer many incidents of the
time when he was playing on Purdue's
eleven, and he, with other Indiana men,
often get good laughs out of the hap
penings of those years. To listen to
some former Indiana and Purdue men
Jest with one another is an evenings
entertainment. George Ade is former
Purdue man, and some OF the stories he
tells are screams.
COING to the Far West, Stanford
" plays California. And for the first
time in years the latter is picked
to win. Just how interesting this game
Is to alumni of both universities may
be realized when it is stated that alumni
residing here in Washington are to hold
q Joint dinner and dance tomorrow
night, of which the feature will be the
radio account of the foot ball game.
The game out there does not begin until
three hours later than the usual begin
ming time here.
Some schools are resting tomorrow,
preparatory to fighting out their old
rivalries on Thanksgiving, but other
games listed are between Pittsburgh
and Carnegie Tech, at Pittsburgh; Min
nesota and Michigan, at Minneapolis;
North Carolina and Duke, at Chapel
Hill; Kansas State and Kansas Univer-
sity, at Manhattan; Illinois and Ohio
State, at Urbana; Columbia and Syra-
