KISE BLOODHOUNDS
FIND CHILD AFTER
ALL-NICHT SEARCH
18-M0nths Old Boyd, Minnesota
Child Returned to Mother
Early Tuesday
800 TAKE PART IN HUNT
Beatty and C0an Called After
Others Fail; Find Baby
Unframed, Unafraid

An 18-months old boy who wander
ed from his home near Boyd, Mime
sofa, was found early Tuesday morn
ing with the aid of Sheriff L. j. Kisses
bloodhounds which were taken to the
child's home after other methods
failed.
The hounds located the child, un-
harmed, on the bank of dredge ditch
where he had spent the night. A
posse of 300 persons took part in the
search.
The boy wandered from his farm
home between 5 and 6 p. m. Monday
and was missed at suppertime. The
family could find no trace Of him and
when darkness fell they called on
authorities from Boyd to aid in the
search.
r AS the news of the disappearance
spread, the crowd grew larger and by
midnight approximately 800 volun-
teers had joined the hunt.
Deputy Sheriff Harry Beatty and A.
B. Coan, dog trainer, were called at
approximately midnight to bring the
dogs. About that time it started to
rain in torrents, spelling the tracks
left by the child.
After questioning the authorities
about the fields that had been search
ed, they found that only one cornfield
remained unsecured. They led the
dogs to the field and followed them to
the far end without finding signs of
the boy. On the return to the other
end, the child was found lying face
downward on the bank of the dredge
ditch that runs through the farm.
Lightly Clothed
His body and clothes were soaked
from the rain but he was unframed
and apparently not frightened al.
though glad to be placed in the arms
of his frantic mother.
He was clothed in light rompel
suit and shoes and stockings, but hac
no hat or coat.
Boyd is located about 20 miles west
of Granite Falls and the farm home
is a few miles further west.

LETTER SENT TO VOTERS
Sets Forth Arguments Favoring
City Operation; Gas Men
Would Stand Cost

Preparatory steps toward asking
the city council to call an official cleo
ton to determine whether or not the
city shall issue bonds to construct
municipal gas plant, were made Wed
nesday by citizens committe head
ed by DR.. w. A. Brand.
In letters addressed to citizens OF
Redwood Falls, the committee sci
forth arguments in favor of a city
owned gas plant and asked voters to
sign enclosed cards expressing then
willingness to submit the matter to
another vote.
Committee members named in the
letter are Leon H. Brown, DR.. j. e.
Budik, A. J. Coleman, George i
Freyer, E. L. Gallea, L. w. Hassing-
er, Clarence Hillig, Glen Hillig, j

The Liquifed Natural Gas corpor-
alton is willing to pay the expense OF
a second election the letter stated
Lee Barker, president Of the company
and H. H. Henley, it's engineer, re-
turned to the city Monday.
The letter states. in part:
"In view of the results of the recent
straw vote election, this committee
has been formed to ask the city coun-
Gil to act by calling an official cleo
ton to determine whether or not the
city should build municipal gas
plant.
"The members of this committee
are in favor of a municipality owned
gas plant because:
/. 1t would produce an annual pro-
fit for the city to which it is justly
entitled.
2. It would reduce taxes.
8. It would provide labor for wage
earners of so families during the con-
struction period.
A. 1t would give our citizens the
modern conveniences of gas in their
homes and places of business for
cooking, baking, water heating,
laundering, refrigerating, etc.
5. 1t would mean increased business
for our local merchants.
6. 1t would make Redwood Falls a
better place in which to live.
"Inasmuch as the city council has
stated that it would not authorize the
building of a city gas plant unless
sufficient signed contracts are receiv-
ed to guarantee the financial success
of the enterprise; and inasmuch as
the Liquifed Natural Gas Corporation
has offered to defray the expenses OF
an official election without cost to
the city, we the committee would like
to have your approval of our con-
templated action in asking the city
council to call an official election.
Cali you need to do is mail the en-
closed stamped post card to us al
once. By sending in this card you
will not be obligated in any way to
use gas in case the city votes to builo
a gas plant. All this card indicates
is that you want the city council te
submit the matter to an official vote
of the people,"

Hire Local Labor

Seventeen contracts for crawling,
a total of $50 miles of Redwood coun-
ty roads were let Tuesday morning

stated after the contracts had been
let that all of the county aid (gas
taxi roads in the county which have
been built will be graveled under this
program. There are a few roads in
the system which have not as yet
been built but will be, probably next
spring and summer.
Have Seven Bidders
Of the seven bidders who set prices
on the largest crawling job in the
county for several years, three were
from outside the county. The aver
age stretch of crawling is from eight
to ten miles.
The most important roads around
Redwood Falls include the road from
the Fred Banker corner, one mile
southeast of town, to the top of the
Morton Agency hill which is five and
one-half miles and the stretch from
the James Whittet farm, one and one
half miles west of town on Highway

Mr.. Cook stated that the jobs have
been divided among the county roads
as equally as possible. The money
was recently received from the gas
tax fund distributed by the state.
Mr.. Schuman has been doing con-

part Of the state this summer, but it
is expected that he will begin work
on Redwood county roads immediate
ly. He plans on working 16 hours
daily on the roads; two shifts at eight

Dorothy Stone Headlines S
New Show At Keith's

RK-O-Keith's offers this weeks
patrons an extraordinary array
of headline talent, with Dorothy
Stone AND the two Pat Rooneys
topping the bill, and Harry Rose,
favorite Broadway jester, clown
ing in the role of master of cere-
monies.
For good measure Carlo Freed,
aided by a horde Of stooges,
mingles inusicianship with just
plain goofiness, and the Nelson
Troupe, four husky girls and a
young man, hold up the acrobatic
end of the program. The picture
is THE Lost Squadron" held over
for a second week.
1t is very pleasant to see Doro-
thy Stone here again. Not so
long ago she played Washington
with her father in "Ripples," 9nd
assisting her in her vaudeville
act is Charles Collins, well known
to local audiences.
ROOneys Score
Miss Stone, one of the most
charming young women on the
stage, sings well and dances
gracefully. On this occasion she
does an imitation of her mother,
Allene Crater, who, it will be re.
called, made her last stage ap-
pearance in the same production
that introduced Dorothy to the
public. Mr.. Collins is her dancing
partner, and does q solo dance
as we'll.
The Rooneys, father and son,
are great favorites here. Pat,
senior, is now a platinum blond,
but that doesn't make any differ
ence to his public. And though
he has put on a little weight, he
dances in the typical Pat Rooney
manner.
The Rooneys clown with Harry
Rose, who, when he is left to him
self, introduces his aria from
"Pagliacci" with full explana-
tions, something that seems to
have been eagerly awaited, judg-
ing from it's reception.
"The Lost Squadron" is a story
of three wartime aces who be-
come stunt fiers in the movies,

suggested that N.B.C. bring
down all of it's high-priced stars
for a gala night at the National
Press Club, which. of course,

nimbly tossed the suggestion into
the lap of Vice President Frank

this triple play-Kelley to Royal

Mrs. Legs Diamond
Tops Cayety Bill

Again Jimmy Lake offerB an
other example Of his Snowman,
ship by bringing the widow of the
much-publicized Legs" Diamond
to his Gayety Theater.
In a little skit which puts her
in a sympathetic role and teaches
the moral that crime doesn't pay,
she makes her stage appearance.
Mrs. Jack Diamond is really at
tractive. No attempt is made to
have her sing or do anything be-
yond her talents.
The burlesque portion Of the
lengthy show features a clever
comedian in the person of Jack
Hunt, sweet singing by Johnny
Stone, a polished performance by
Larry Anon and the usual assort-
ment Of girls.
Hunt is assisted by Clyde Bates,
rotund comic, who is funny at
times and not so funny at other
times. Mary Walton and Helen
Forrest are limited, too, to the
length of the show, but anyone
who has seen. them before know
that they are what the doctor or
dered. Wilma Horner gets along
in fine style. Evelyn Burk and
Ann Mitchell, two blondes, are al
most certain to please, while Phil
Scott, from the New York Cotton
Club, gives an added punch to
the show with his songs and novel
dances. Inky and Archie, a pair
of Washington colored boys, have
some fast dancing steps.
