ORDER STOPPING
COUNTY PRINTING
PAYMENT DENIED
Case Placed on October Calen.
dar After Plaintiff Fails
to Get Attorney

The restraining order asked by D.
L. Crimmins in suit brought by
him as a taxpayer against Redwood
county, the county auditor and the
nine county publishers was denied in
district court Tuesday and the 81 200
warrant payable to The Redwood
Gazette as official county paper was
released.
The Gazette had already fulfilled
about two-thirds of it's contract with
the county when the action was
brought, since the proceedings of the
commissioners for several months
were published and the financial
statement, which is the greater part
of the work, was published three
times as required by law. Publishers
point out that the financial statement
alone would cost the county 1880 for
publication in one paper if the con-
tract were taken at legal rates as
fixed by state law. The statement and
proceedings are circulated in all
papers at fiat expense to the coun-
ty of 81 800 per year.
The case took an abrupt turn when
it came up for trial Monday and Leon
H. Brown, attorney for Crimmins,
asked to be excused from appearing,
saying that he sent registered let
ter to Crimmins several days before
and asked him to come and talk the
case over with him and pay the fee
which he said was due before the
trial under the arrangement he made
with his client on taking the case.
He stated Crimmins had not respond
ed.
Judge Albert Emerson called on
Crimmins who attacked Mr.. Brown,
charging that Brown had agreed to
try the case with no fee involved I'M
less he won. This Brown fatty de-
MED. Court was recessed until af-
ternoon during which time Crimmins
was to get another attorney. When
he reported in the afternoon that he
was unable to get lawyer at once,
the judge ruled that he could have
Tuesday to find an attorney who
would plead his case either June 26
or July 10, otherwise the court would
no longer feel justified in holding up
the money and would release the war
rant, placing the case on the October
court calendar.
Mr.. Crmmins brought the suit in
April after threatening action at sew
eral taxpayers meetings at which he
presided. He once made the state
ment before such meeting that 81
will spend my last nickel to break
up the printers combine in this coun-
ty."

EXTRA POLICE TO
ENFORCE LAWS ON
DRIVING TO FIRES
Mayor Issues Order Following
Accident in Which Fire
man was Injured

Following an accident in which
John Brueske, Redwood Falls fireman
and councilman, sustained a sprained
right ankle when he jumped to avoid
an automobile Tuesday while on his
way to a fire, Mayor H. D. Thorp
will appoint two or three men
police the business district during
fires and enforce traffic laws cover
ing emergencies.
Mr.. Thorp stated that publicity
has been given for several years in
an endeavor to have all automobile
drivers stop when the fire siren
sounds and wait until the truck has
passed at least 500 feet but motor
lists have paid little attention to the
city's warnings and now action will
be taken.
The special police will arrest any
one guilty of following too closely
behind the fire truck or failing to
park until the truck goes by.
Mr.. Brueske was talking with Mr..
Thorp at his studio Tuesday when
the siren blew for the Appleton car
fire. He started for the city hall and
met S. A. Appleton, owner of the car,
who had already used up a can of
chemical.
He crossed the street to the Scenic
City Cooperative Oil company and
was on his way back with an extin-
guisher when he noticed the car in
front in time to avoid being hit but
in doing so he twisted his ankle.
The Appleton car burst into flames
shortly before p. m. Tuesday while
parked in front of the Auto Electric
Supply store. The department was
called but the flames were extinguish-
ed before it arrived. Little damage
resulted.

Retail sales of General Motors

April comparing favorably with
last year, it was reported in IL
nancial quarters today.
This further extension of the
current sales recovery has addi-
tional Importance when it is re-
called that sales in April, 1882,
showed a more than seasonal in
crease after a total absence of
the usual seasonal expansion dur
ing the first quarter.
Domestic retail deliveries in
April, 1882, were 81,573 cars and
trucks, an increase of 81 per
cent over March. 1882. The late
March demand for the Corpora
tion's cars ran considerably in
excess of expectations.
Despite additional economies, it
is not likely first quarter net
profits equalled those in the first
three months of 1882 when net
was $7,348,82O, equivalent after
preferred dividends to II cents a

ing in the utilities on the theory
that perhaps legislation won't be
as severe as generally anticipated.
The rate structure is still to be
settled, though. The Administra-
tons entrance into the oil picture
has created a better feeling all
around.
Bethlehem's big first quarter
loss must have sobered the boys
up a bit. It's a pretty good fore
cast of what big steel and the
others will show. However, we
understand that the steel COM
panies have some big orders on
the books now. So far these are
merely a protection against a
possible inflationary rise, but if
commodity prices continue to
work up and business goes
further ahead, the orders will be
translated into actual operations.
