Four Men Trade Cars
With MilrOy Farmer
Without His Consent

Milroy-Four strange men drove
into the Peter Rock farmyard Sun
day morning, transferred suitcase
from their car to Mr.. Rocks auto
bile, climbed in and drove away,
leaving their car, Whippet, stand
ing in the yard.
Members of the Rock family saw
the strange exchange but did not
have time to prevent it. They dis
covered later that the Whippet's gas
tank was empty and notified Sheriff
Rankin at Marshall who early this
week had found no trace of the
strangers. It is believed that the
Whippet also is q stolen car. The
Rock farm is five miles west Of the

LANDOWNER FILES
SEWAGE NUISANCE
SUIT AGAINST CITY
Mrs. Elizabeth Peabody Asks
Court to Enjoin City to
Abate Nuisance
DAMAGES TO DATE, $4,000
. City Attorney Instructed to
File Answer; Case Will
be Tried in October

Charging that the dumping of the
city's sewage in the Redwood river
near her farm constitutes a nuisance,
a complaint was filed in district court
Saturday by Mrs. Elizabeth Peabody
against the city of Redwood Falls
asking that the court permanently
enjoin the city from continuing the
nuisance and for $4,000 damages.
The case will be heard at the fall
term of court which opens here Oct.
ober %.
The complaint reviews the history
of the sewage question, stating that
in May of this year the city's sew
age outlets which previously emptied
into the river above Ramsey park
were connected with main sewer
which empties at point below the
park near the Peabody farm. 1t fur
ther contends that although the city
is building preliminary treatment
plant, this will abate the nuisance by
only 25 per cent.
1t states that by reason OF the sew
age condition, the Peabody premises
are unfit for human occupancy, that
it is a health menace and breeding
place for flies and insects.
Although $4,000 damages are ask
ed, the complaint states that this
amount is for damages to the day OF
filing the suit. Consequently paying
this amount would not necessarily
settle the case. The plaintiff, 1t Is
believed, wishes the city to make its
preliminary plant complete plant.
1t would be possible to pipe the sew
age past the Peabody place but this
might result in suits from landoWn-
ers farther down the river. North
Redwood is only short distance be-
yond the Peabody farm.
G. P. Smith Of Mankato, former
engineer here and A. c. Dolliff OF
Redwood Falls are representing MRS.
Peabody. Mr.. Dolliff appeared be-
fore the council sometime ago on the
matter and later councilmen visited
the Peabody farm. They authorized
a plan which was approved by the
state and ERA employees are now
digging out the channel so that pools
in which sewage collects will drain
This is not mentioned in the COM
plant.
Councilmen met in special session
Monday night at the city hall to dis
cuss the suit and what can be done
about it. Members voiced the opln-
ion that everything has been done
that can be at this time. Leon d.
Brown, city attorney, was instructed
to file an answer within the required
20 days.
A vote of thanks was given the
Redwood County Game Protective
league for work done in beautifying
spots around the city pump house on
Lake Redwood.
They also discussed the fire which
destroyed part of the water tower
Saturday. The B. F. Lane company,
already working on the tank, is to

CHILD BURNED TO
DEATH AS MOTHER.
ATTEMPTS RESCUE
Mother, Trapped in Burning
Home, Jumps Through Up
stairs Window to Ground
GIRL, 3, WAS TAKING NAP
Tragedy Happened at Farm
Near Wabasso Friday After
noon; Home Destroyed

Trapped in her upstairs bedroom
by fire which broke out while she
was taking her afternoon nap, little
Betty Jean Coulter, three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Coul-
ter was burned to death Friday. The
family lives nine miles south of Wa
basso on the Lamberton road.
Mrs. Coulter saw the smoke and
flames from the garden where she
was working and rushed upstairs but
she was unable to find the child in
the smoke-filled rooms.
The body was recovered in the
basement below the child's room, af-
ter the house was completely des-
troyed by the fire. 1t is believed the
child was awakened by the smoke
and heat but was overcome before
she could get out.
Mrs. Coulter was baking bread
and was waiting for it to brown: She
went to the garden where she spent
less than ten minutes, gathering a
pail of vegetables.
Returning to the house which was
only few feet away she did not
notice the fire until she opened the
kitchen door and was met by cloud
of smoke which barred her way.
She ran to another door and CROP
ed her way to the bedroom where
she thought the baby was sleeping.
The room was filled with smoke, max
ing it difficult to breath. She smash
ed out a window and began the
hopeless search for her daughter.
When she found the stairway blocked
by flames, she jumped through the
window, cutting herself badly on the
glass.
Her husband was called from a
nearby field and together in spite of
Mrs. Coulter's injuries, they crawled
on their hands and knees in search
of the baby. They looked through
the upper story frantically but could
not find her and decided she must be
down stairs.
BY this time the structure was
nearly ready to collapse and the heat
was intense. Mr.. Coulter attempted
to start his car but it would not start
so he took his team and raced to his
nearest neighbor, the Tetrick farm
where call was put in for the Lam
berton fire department.
Neighbors were already arriving to
assist the Coulters but it was too
late. The building burned like chaf
and all that was saved was a rocking
chair and a picture of Betty Jean.
The picture fell into the hands of the
mother as she attempted to move a
writing desk during the search.
Suffering from burns and bruises
and stricken with grief, Mrs. Coulter
was taken to the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Severson.
She is still confined to her bed.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. E. G. Meierbachtol, pastor of
the Methodist church, at the Sever
son home Saturday afternoon. Rev.
and Mrs. Meierbachtol sang two
duets, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"
and "When He Cometh." Burial was
in the Lamberton cemetery.
Besides her parents she is survived
by three sisters and two brothers,
Ruth, IL; Frances, 10; John, 8; Hugh,
Jr., z and Gladys, 6; her grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Severson and her
Grandfather Coulter.

The principal work of this year S

Until such time as the Territorial
