Basement Room at Lincoln
Building May be Used
AS School Shop
Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter
Projects Among First
With Final OK

Extensive improvements to Red
wood Falls school buildings are
included in a Works Progress adj
ministration project for which
plans and estimates were being
prepared Wednesday by George
Matson, area engineer.
The plans contemplate finishing
a 40 feet by 80 feet room in the
basement of the Lincoln building,
which has been used for winter
track practice. The walls would
be plastered, a concrete floor put
in and other improvements made
so that it can be used as a manual
training room.
At the Senior High school build
ing, the coal bin in the rear of
the building would be consider
ably enlarged.
Three projects given approx
al here this week and sent to
st. Paul are: sidewalk construc-
ton project at Lamberton to cost
S2,048.5O and the countrywide sew
ing project which is a continuation
of an ERA project which has
made a large amount of clothing
for poor families. The amount
asked for this work is $26,O76. An
other would finance repairs and
sidewalks at the Wabasso school
at a cost of $2,112.
Two projects asked for the
county were approved at Wash
ing Tuesday, one providing $4,275
for labor on sidewalks and curbs
and cutters in Redwood Falls, for
which the sponsors will pay $3,948
for materials. The other is for
repairs at the Vesta school, dis
trict 102, where the government
is to pay $1,12O and the district
5000.
Mr.. Matson indicated that work
is not expected to start on WPA
projects here until there is need
for employment as practically all
available men now have jobs on
farms or private building projects
with a prospect of many of these
jobs continuing for some time.

to the platform where he dived
from the tower and was generally
athletic, informing the children
there that he had once swum with
Johnny Weismuller.
Called by excited witnesses, Of
ficer Claus Maurstad called Harry
Beatty, deputy sheriff, for re-en-
forcements and rushed to the
beach.
Communicating row boat
from Bud Duea, the two law-en-
forcers rowed to the tower, while
Reginald shouted, "Hi, marshal!
How va doing?" at their oncom-
ing figures.
When they reached the raft,
Reginald was well nigh exhausted
with his aquatic exhibitions and
it was an easv matter to slip
handouts on him.
At the Jail, Sheriff L. J. Kise
described Reginald as Tearing
everything to pieces"
Quoted down, Reginald who
claims to be a transient farm
hand, was held at the county Jail
for a day and later given sus-

M AND ST. LSALE
AGAIN POSTPONED

The sale of the M and st. L
railroad, set for Tuesday was
postponed for 60 days when no
bidders appeared at the yard in
Minneapolis where the sale was
scheduled to be held. It is under
stood that eight competing lines
hoping to purchase the road fail
ed to make the 100000 deposit
necessary before putting in a bid.
For the past year, sale of the
line has been postponed from
month to month because of lack
of bidders, and an effort is now
being made to reorganize the
company without selling.

PLANE CkASH|'AT
WORTHINCTON air
FAIR KILLS FOUR
Cousin of Redwood County
Man One of Victims;
Cause Unknown

Worthington - Four men died
Sunday afternoon when the plane
in which they were riding crashed
and burst into flames in a corn
field on the Lloyd Correll farm
four miles northeast of Worthing-
ton while the annual air fair here
was getting underway.
The dead: Pete LaFrenz of Fer
gus Falls, pilot, about 80: Ernest
Boots, SIS, farmer northwest of
Rushmore; Glen Reu, 81, of Ken
meth: Charles Kruger Of James
town, North Dakota, so, employed
as farm hand by Ed. Olson of
Worthington. Mr.. Boots was a
cousin Of Henry Boots Of New
Avon township.
The plane, a Ryan brougham
made in 1923 and a replica of the
plane Lindbergh flew to Paris,
took off shortly before D. m. for
its first flight of the day. It cir
cled over Worthington and head
ed northeast. According to Earl
Jenkins who saw the plane fall, a
strip of fabric appeared to pull
loose from the right wing near the
fuselage and the plane nosed down.
Observers at the airport three
miles away saw the plane start to
circle as it descended.
Bursts Into Flames
Hitting the earth with terrific
force, it burst into flames and
when Otto johnson, a farmer, ar
rived there was no chance to give
aid to the passengers. Presumably
all were killed or knocked uncon-
scious by the force of the crash
and the flames burned their bodies
beyond recognition.
1t was not until 8 in the evening
that positive Identification was
made of all of the men. The pilot
and Mr.. Boots were the first to be
identified. Late in the afternoon
it was known that Reu was one
of the victims when a friend in
formed officials that he believed
the youth was in the plane and
keys found in the wreckage fitted
Reu's car. Identification Of Krug-
er was the most difficult and was
established when small bit of
cloth from his trousers matched
his coat which he had left at the
farm and when remnants of his
shirt and tie were identified by his
employer.
One Seat Vacant
Shortly after the accident it
was believed that a woman had
been in the plane but the ticket
salesman recalled that there was
one vacant seat. Two young men
had tickets and neither would go
up without the other, so they wait
ed for the next trip. Their names
were not learned.
The plane owned by Gustav
hmm of Fergus Falls, was a mass
of twisted metal and ashes when
the flames died out, making it vir-
tually impossible to learn the
exact cause Of the accident.
