Watermelon Day
Incident Results
In Larceny Fine

Howard Harbo of Walnut Grove
was fined $40 and costs in muni-
cipal court Friday when he plead
guilty to charge of petty lar
ceny on the complaint of T. A.
Hensch of Sanborn.
Harbo was accused of stealing
IL chickens from Hensch during
Watermelon day festivities OF
Sanborn, but investigation on the
part of authorities revealed that
his action was a part of drunk
en- carousal and there was no evi-
dence of criminal intent on his
part.
According to his testimony in
court, he and two companions
were leaving Sanborn at about
a. m. after celebrating there.
Their car was parked behind the
Hensch machine, a familiar one in
Redwood Falls. A rack-load of
chickens, usually drawn behind
an automobile constructed to re-
present railway locomotive, had
been left outside by Hensch.
While his companions cranked
the car, Harbo pulled the fowls
from the Hensch machine and
threw them into the other auto
mobile. They escaped as fast as
they were hurled into the car and
ran about the streets, some of them
being lost before Hensch was able
to recover them.

Redwood Schools
Above Average In
State, Gray Says

Redwood Falls has a school
system of which any city might
justly be proud" Reede Gray,
superintendent, said in announc-
ing the opening of school here
September IA. Scholarship stand
ards are well above the average
for the state as a whole. The high
schools are large enough to pro-
vide special departments, includ-
ing music and choice of academ-
ic subjects. All phases of allied
curricular activities, such as ath-
letics, dramatics and oratory are
provided.
''The Redwood Falls school ia
cilities will be quite adequate in
spite of the fire which destroyed
the high school. Few towns can
boast of as fine a building as the
Lincoln school. The latter will be
used to capacity this year.
1.-THE schools belong to the peo-
pie of the district and it is the de-
sire of those in charge that the
best and most possible use be
made of the facilities" he con-

3 Men at Gibbon
Hurt in Cave-In
IBACK-FILL MACHINE ON
PWA PROJECT FALLS.
IN DITCH

Gibbon-Three employees of
the Jacobs Brothers Contracting
company of Bird Island, in charge
of the excavating, laying of the
drainage tile and the back-filling
for Gibbons sewerage system, a
,PWA project, were injured, one
of them seriously, late last Tues
day afternoon, when the back-fill
apparatus, weighing approx
fnately three tons, catapaulted
when the road-bed underneath
the machine caved in.
A warning of the impending
crash of the heavy machine,
sounded by fellow workers who
saw the right wheel Of the con-
veyer gradually slipping into the
excavated trench, brought sever
al other workmen from their
perilous positions to safety.
The injured were:
Arnold Bethke, who sustained a
bad fracture of the left side of his
face, his nose and cheek bones
being badly crushed, and serious
eye injury which may result in
the loss of the eye.
Edward Ruschmeyer, who sus-
tanned severe arm and shoulder
bruises as well as painful abra-
sions. None of these are regard
ed as serious, however.
Peter Gerrits, of Boyd, Wiscon-
sin, who suffered a Sprained right
wrist.
The mishap occurred a short
distance west of the Swedish Luz
theran church on the old Gibbon-
Fairfax road, shortly before p.
m.
Previous to the machine traver-
sing this point, dynamiters had
blasted rock from the trench
which was being dug, this trench
less than six feet in depth. Thus,
it is believed that the bursting of
the rock had so loosened the soil
as to cause the heavy machine to
break through its otherwise solid
roadway and gradually tilt over
on its side.
The three injured were in the
pit at the time Ruschmeyer and
Bethke attempting to make their
escape from their perilous posi-
ton by scaling the walls of the
trench instead of ducking under
meath.
Both men were rushed to the
offices of local physicians for
treatment and after receiving
first aid, Bethke was taken to a
hospital at New Ulm, his condi-
ton being considered serious.

Renville Mill
FEED MILL OF FARMERS
ELEVATOR, CUPOLA
BURN DOWN

Renville- of uncertain orr
gin destroyed the Farmers Elev-
ator feed mill and the cupola OF
the elevator building Thursday
morning. The fire started in the
feed mill and strong east wind
carried sparks to the cupola OF
the concrete storage building.
A drilling rain unquestionably
was big factor in confning the
fire to the two buildings and
without this help half of the
towns business district might
have been consumed.
The Renville fire department
was supplemented by the Olivia
firemen in successful efforts to
save coal sheds, lumber yard and
other nearby property.
1t was the third fire and the
second large one in which the
Renville elevator has figured. In
1909 the old frame building used
as an office and storage elevator
burned to the ground. Some time
later the present concrete struc-
ture was erected, the main part Of
which is fire proof, only the cupo-
la where the machinery is located
for working the lifts, is burnable.
The cupola burned once before
some years ago and was replaced
by the one just destroyed which
was galvanized iron on the out
side.
Manager Brenner stated that
approximately 1000 bushels of
corn and some feed and other
grains were destroyed. He also
said that the marshal, Fred Jack
son reported seeing a bolt of
lightning strike the feed mill.

Rescues Man
IN Wisconsin
NEBRASKA MAN GIVES
NEALE SERKLAND
HIGH PRAISE

A story of a thrilling rescue In
rough water on a northern Wis
consin lake by a Redwood Falls
boy who is employed there was
told here this week by Nebras-
ka man who said he owes his life
to the ability and courage OF the

w. Serkland and a student at
Redwood Falls High school, is the
boy credited with the rescue.
It happened August "a on the
north shore of Yellow lake where
Neale is employed at the Izaak
Walton lodge. The near victim
was fishing when heavy wind
arose and in attempting to pull up
the anchor, he capsized his boat.
After a struggle, he managed to
get on top of the upset boat and
rode that way for perhaps 20 min
utes when his plight was discov-
cred by the Redwood Falls boy
and others on shore.
White caps were rolling high
adding to the task of transferring
"a 260 pound man, nearly exhaust
ed, his clothing soaked, from atop
an overturned boat to another in
a high wind but Neale accomplish
led the trick successfully.
Stopping at the Winn Sisters
cabins as is his custom on visits
here, the man told of his exper-
fence, adding that it was with diff
ficulty that he induced Neale to
accept token Of appreciation.
The boy contended it was no more
than he would expect someone to
do for him if the circumstances
were reversed.
