Motorists of County
Pay $53,656.94 for
6,728 Vehicle Licenses

Redwood county motor vehicle
owners paid SIS, ,656.94 for licenses on
6,728 vehicles in 1884, according to
the annual report Of the secretary of
state, Mike Holm, to the legislature.
The report shows Brown county
with 7,764 vehicles and $66, ,103.25 in
fees, Lyon with SOLO and $51 ,991.25
in fees, Murray with Alas vehicles
on which $31 1,685.42 was paid, Rem
vile with 1859 cars and $61 ,555.32
for licenses and Yellow Medicine
with $3.50 and $41,043. 90 in fees.
For the entire state $6,614,771.H
was collected in license fees which
was a gain over the Sc, ,268, ,O89.55 paid
in 1888, probably due to the increase
in sale of new cars. The peak year
for license fees was 1880 when more
than IL million was realized from
this source. In 1882, the last year
before rates were reduced, $10,066,-
435.45 was collected on 707,149 We
hicles. In 1884 total of 724,110
vehicles were registered in the state.
The question of raising rates is one
of the problems before the present
legislative session.

ROBBERY FOLLOWED
BY AUTO ACCIDENT
Salesman's Car on Wrong Side
Of Road Struck by Car
From Lucan

Vesta-A bold hold-up which re-
suited in an auto accident and injur-
les to Redwood county girl occur
red near here Tuesday evening.
Victim of the holdup was travel
ing salesman for Butler Brothers of
Minneapolis who told his story in
Vesta where his car was repaired and
left Wednesday morning without
leaving his name. According to his
story he was stopped while driving
from Redwood Falls to Marshall
Tuesday about 10 p. m. on highway
19 about four miles west of Vesta.
Two men robbed him of $40, he said.
He at first thought they also took
his car keys but they were found lat
ter under a grip in the car.
During the robbery, the salesman
was struck on the nose, presumably
with a. fist, and the robbers either
drove or forced him to drive his car
to the left side of the road where it
was parked with the headlights off
and the dome light on when it was
struck by car from near Lucan con-
tanning five young people.
In the car were Miss Lillian Sou
pir, whose nose was broken in the ac-
cident, and Helen and Tony Soupir
and Christ and Hubert CORES, who
escaped with bruises. Both cars
were badly damaged. The salesman,
it was reported, was not the Butler
man for this territory but one bound
for a South Dakota territory.

$4,000 Bond Issue for Sewage
Disposal Plant Carries
More Than 6 to 1
DIR. C. L. LYNN NEW MAYOR
Knudson, Patton, Hubbard, Stan
ton Re- Elected Un0pposed;
Wet Margin 1O1

By surprising majority Redwood
Falls voters reversed a decision Of q
year and half ago by voting on the
affirmative side of the liquor license
issue in the annual city election
Tuesday, while the $4,000 bond is
sue for the completion of the sewage
disposal plant was pushed through by
an overwhelming margin. Candi-
dates running for mayor, aldermen,
recorder and treasurer, without op-
position, were swept into office over
the scattered votes of a few persons
whose names were written in on the
ballots.
The liquor question which was ex-
pected to be decided by handful OF
votes on either side was settled by q
majority of 101 votes, receiving Q
total Of 648 for license as against
SAT opposed. In the September 1888
repeal vote the liquor issue was re-
jected by q 491 to 429 count, or .
margin of 62 votes.
The balloting was 276 votes for
and 232 against in the first ward and
372 approvals to 315 reflections in the
second. Six ballots were not marked
in the second ward and as a majority
of the votes cast are required to pass
an issue, the blank ballots were
credited to the negative side.
The bond issue met with little op-
position and there was little doubt as
to its outcome as soon as the count
ing of the votes began. For time
the count ran Is to 1 IN the first
ward. Totals on the issue were
1,039 for and 157 against, for q mar
gin of 882 votes or over to 1. In
the first ward 451 approvals were re-
corded as against So disapprovals,
with eight blanks dropped into the
box and in the second ward 588 for
to 80 against, with 21 blanks cast.
DIR. C. L. Lynn was elected to s5c-
ceed H. D. Thorp as mayor, while
Frank Hubbard and F. w. Stanton
were reelected recorder and treasur-
er. j. F. Knudson was reelected
alderman from the first ward and
George A. Patton was renamed from
the second ward. The council met
Wednesday night to canvass the votes.
1t is the general belief that the
council will provide for municipal
ly owned off-sale liquor store, prob
ably when the new body meets next
month. Mayor-elect Lynn comment
ing Wednesday on the liquor issue
stated that he is in favor of care
fully operated municipality owned Ii
quor dispensary and will direct his
efforts toward that end. The new
mayor and the reelected officials will
be formally inducted into office at
the councils organization meeting
