Chief of Police George G. Ander-
son, among these who inspected
the vehicle, declared he found the
mechanically operated hand brake
set. He also found the wheels
turned far to the right, and said
in his opinion this indicated that
the driver, L. G. Afford, attempted
to ram the heavy bus into the
guard rail to avoid plunging into
the river.
Detective Sergt. j. M. Rem,
who also examined the bus, like
wise said the hand brake was set.
Sergeant Rem also declared he
found skid marks in the road ID
feet from the edge of the draw,
but none from there on. Others
who examined the roadway on the
bridge approach, however. declared
no skid marks were to be found.
Meanwhile the body of one Of
the two unidentified women vic

POPE LAMENTS
WAR MENACE
IN EUROPE
Tells Cardinals He Has
Done AIIInHis Power
For African Peace
BY HUDSON HAWLEY

VATICAN CITY, Dec. "a
Q.N.SO.-The world crisis in the
last few days" has taken a def
mite turn for the worse, Pope
Plus declared today in a frankly
somber and pessimiStic address to
his cardinals.
Making his usual pref Christmas
speech to the cardinals, the Pom
tiff was almost startingly gloomy
in commenting on current world
events, and he inferred he had
high hopes in the Italo-Ethiopian
peace negotiations which col
lapsed during the past 10 days.
The Pope said:
1--WE have reached Christ
mas by a path made dark by
menacing clouds. In the last
few days the situation has be-
come not only unprOmiSing, but
truly threatening"
CALLED MENACING
Shortly after his address the
Pontiff issued a 2,000-word ency-
clical entitled christian Priest
hood" which was serenely de-
tached both from political ques-
tons of the day and from re-
ligious controversy. The Pope
had. however, said much on each
of these topics to his cardinals.
He described the world situa
ton as menacing, although he
said he had done all possible
within our extremely limited
means" to bring about peace in
Ethiopia "in justice, truth ano
charity"
The Pope inferred to his car
dinals that he was hopeful of
the now-dead Anglo-French peace
negotiations, and some observers
believed his remarks may have
indicated he had had a hand in
bringing them about.
SCORES RUSSIA
I'VE had hoped up to a few
days ago that we would be
enabled to give reassuring
words, but unfortunately cir.
cumstances did not permit this
to come about"
This does not signify that
we have lost every hope, for
hope is one of the foundations
of the Christian life."

Sports Set Up Fish
House on Low Field

Brainerd Speaking of the dis
appointment of well digger who
"spudded" dry hold is nothing
compared to the chagrin and em-
barrassment of two ertswhile
Minneapolis fishhouse enthusiasts
who take the palm for the prize
amateur story of the week. De-
putty Game Warden A. P. Cardle,
noticing the two men setting up a
fish house and building fire in
a low lying field, decided to in
vestigate. The men pulled out
their licenses, and explained they
were after fish. Cardle stood by
and watched them as they shovel
ed away three feet of snow and
started chopping. As they pro-
gressed, one of the men remarked
that there must have been a
severe sand storm in the vicinity
recently, as the 'slake" was cover
ed with sand. Cardle could con-
tain himself no longer, broke out
laughing, and told the men there
was no lake within half mile.
The Redwood gazette., 1935-02-07

The total absence of fire appar-
atus made things worse and only
by the dying down of the winds
did the main portion of the town
survive the flames. At the height
of the fire, Wringdahl beat it
down the road and he has never
been heard from since. This fire
caused the organization of the city
bucket brigade which was formed
in 1885. 1t was the foundation
for the present efficient fire de-
partment of Redwood Falls.
There Were Drouths Too
Speaking of drouths, old timers
recall the drouth of 1892 when the
winds were so hot that three lakes
near Redwood Falls were entirely
drained, causing serious water
shortage. Crops were poor and
the farmers had a hard time max
ing ends met. The disastorous
drouth of 1884 recalls to the minds
of such old timers as Kuenzli, Ty-
son, Andersen and others the
drouth of 1892.
Yes; there is much history in
Redwood Falls. Many things hap
pened in the days which have gone
forever, but the memory of those
stirring days is still vivid in the
minds of the living pioneers who
helped to make Redwood Falls
possible.

ground With their medical inStru-
ments strapped to their backs in
cloth bags. While enroute to the
patient, the wind changed without
warning and the snow began to
fall so fast and thick, that they
could not see the heads of their
horses in front of them. The
brave doctors were finally forced
to take refuge in cabin a mile
from the place where the suffering
man with the frozen feet lay.
For three days they were mar
ooned in this cabin. On the third
day after heroic efforts on the
part of the two doctors, they fin
ally broke through and succeeded
in getting to the cabin where the
patient lay. They performed the
operation and returned to their
homes in Redwood village. Many
events of this kind occurred in the
early days of the city and county.
Law enforcement was not over
looked in the early days and the
historical records of Redwood
county show that the first sheriff
to be elected was an Englishman,
James (Jimmie) Durtnall. There
may be slight misspelling in the
last name, but most of the old
timers as N. B. Andersen, local
photographer and Gottlieb Kuenz-
Ii, are of the opinion that this
spelling is correct for the name
of the first sheriff of Redwood
county.
In 1872 John Whittet who is
still a resident of the city, came
here. In 1878 the first rail lines
came forging their way westward.
This line was the Chicago and
North Western and was followed
by the M. and st. L.
Where the present Skelly stat
ion now stands, at Bridge and
Washington streets, a brewery
formerly stood which was owned
by Jacob Schmahl, father of the
present state treasurer, julius A.
Schmahl.
On the very spot where now
stands the present home of Got
lieb Kuenzli there was once
Presbyterian church which burned
down during fire in 1884. The
present church in this denomina-
tion was built in 1885. Mr.. An
dersen tells of the time when this
church was under construction
that he climbed to the top of it on
the frame work. This was quite a
feat and it shows that Mr.. Ander-
sen in his younger days was quite
agile.
The Fire OF 1885
In 1885, Redwood Falls was vis-
tied by a disastrous fire which
threatened for a time, owing to
changing winds, to wipe out the
thriving city which had been es-
tablished from a stockade. A dis
gruntled saloon keeper by the
name of Frank Wringdahl, find
ing business bad and considerable
opposition from the better class of
citizens in regard to the way in
which he operated his establish
ment, set fire to the saloon and al
most caused the destruction of the
city. The flames spread rapidly,
fed by the high wind and for a
time it looked as if the whole city
might be destroyed. No fire de-
partment was available, so the
citizens beat the fire with blan-
kets and whatever they could find.
Calls for help were made and
additional men arrived from var
ious parts of Redwood county.
