Plates Stolen
fromStensvad
SLOT MACHINE THIEVES
HAVE PRIVATE CLEAN
UP CAMPAIGN

Using an automobile license
plate stolen from Rud StensvaC
of Redwood Falls and masquerad-
ing as federal agents, two boIG
slot machine bandits have beer
making neat hauls at several
towns from Jasper north to Elbow
Lake.
Stensvad noticed the loss of the
plate last week while he was
working as industrial census TAX
er near Luverne and Immediately
reported the theft to a state high
way patrolman. Since then the
plate has been reported several
times as the one attached to the
car in which the slot machine
raids were made.
AT Jasper, the first town to be
looted, the men aroused marshal
Eli Iverson from bed and duped
him into helping them in the rob-
berry. They flashed badges and
showed Credentials" but the
marshal was so anxious to get on
with the business at hand that he
didn't examine them. He unsus-
piciously aided in every way he
could and helped load the ma
chimes in the car. Six machines
containing about $500 in ,nickels
and dimes were taken.
Several days later the same
men appeared at Beaver Greek
and made raid on the slot ma
chine in William Tiesen's cafe,
They loaded the machine in their
car and left Immediately. The
device contained no money as Mr..
Tiesen had just emptied it.
KIND has also received a report
of a raid at Green Valley.
Sheriff F. F. Kitterman and Ole
Lee, operative of the Minnesota
Bureau of criminal apprehension,
are working on the case. Sheriff
Kitterman said the slot machine
racket was easy to work because
the machines are unlawful in Min
nesota and the owners will turn
them over with no suspicion.

CRUSHED TO,DEA1H
Erick Haglund Found Dead; (;
Run Over in Field
BY Tractor

Worthington-Death came sud
denly Tuesday morning of last
week to Erick Haglund, AZ, farm
er, in an accident which occurred
while he was operating a tractor
Haglund's crushed body was found
under the tractor by Mr.. Wass
who went to the field to investi-
gate when he noticed the tractor
standing still with the motor run
ming. Haglund was plowing in a
field a short distance from the
Wass home.
While the exact conditions lead
ing up to the accident will prob
ably never be known, it was be-
lieved the victim was attempting
to recouple the tractor to the
plows after they had been auto
matically unhitched when they
struck rock. It is, likely that
while the coupling was being made
Haglund slipped between the
tractor and plow and was pulled
under one of the drive wheels. In
spite of the fact that the tractor
was equipped with pneumatic
tires, the mans chest was badly
crushed and both arms were brok-
en-. Death is believed to have been
almost instantaneous.
Haglund had been working for
over two years on the Wass farm
where he lived with his wife and
two children.

CALL MEETING TO
CONSIDER STREETS
REINSTATE REGNIER'S
LICENSE; ALLOW
BUILDING

A public meeting will be called,
next Tuesday night, by the city
council to discuss with and explain
to residents of the city the pro-
posed treatment of streets and the
laying of curbs and cutters, the
council decided at its Tuesday
nights session.
AS a project of that type would
have to be initiated by petition by
the interested residents, the coun-
cilmen deem it advisable to call
the meeting and discuss at length
the Improvement of the city thor
oughfares.
The council will seek to con-
vince the property owners that a
project of construction Of curbs
and cutters should accompany the
bituminous treatment of the
streets. Although in the begin
ing, the councilmen point out, the
addition of curbs and cutters will
entail a greater expenditure, the
future maintenance of the streets
would be negligible, while the city
at the same time would be consid-
erably more beautiful than if no
curbs and cutters were included
in the project. Keeping the streets
in condition after they have been
covered only with the black top
would prove costly, the council
men assert, because of the con-
tinual crumbling of the surfaces
working in from the gutterless
and curbless shoulders.
The council also re-instated
Robert Regnier's pool hall license
on the recommendation of Leon
H. Brown, city attorney, while it
ordered the purchase of pickup
truck for the water department.
A building permit for the erection
of dwelling on the lot adjoining
his home on Third and Minnesota
streets was granted to D. L.
Crin1mins. The superintendent of
the water department, Tom Sci
fert, was ordered to shut off wat
er on all delinquent accounts.
