Officers Hunt
Girl Molester
SLEEPY EYE WAITRESS
ROBBED, LEFT IN
ALLEY

Sleepy Eye-Grabbed from be-
hind by an unidentified man as
she was on her way home from
work Monday shortly after 3 a.
m, Miss Katherine Galloway was
rendered unconscious and left ly-
ing in the alley at the rear of the
State Bank where she was found
minutes later by Night Watch
man John Youngmann.
Miss Galloway, who is employ
ed at Hansen's Cafe, had COM
pleted her work and started for
the Henry Jorgensen home where
she resides. Youngmann left the
city light plant as the girl left the
restaurant and intended to drive
south to see that she reached
home safely. At the bank cor
ner he looked south, but saw
nothing of her. Fearing that
something was amiss, he drove
several blocks south, but when he
failed to see her, drove back to-
ward Main street.
Unable To Talk
AS he passed the alley behind
the bank he noticed her and went
to her assistance. Dazed from
having been choked by her as
Sailant, she was unable to tell
what had happened. Mr.. Young
mann took her to the Jorgensen
home, but several hours elapsed
before she could explain what
had taken place.
The robber had snatched her
purse which contained $3.50, emp
tied and left it lying nearby. She
was unable to tell in which dir
ection the man fed and Young
mann saw nothing of him when
he arrived three or four minutes
later.
A physician was summoned. He
found the girl suffering mostly
from shock. She had, however,
been given a blow in the face.
Local officials and Sheriff Jack
Reitter have been investigating
the case and although no definite
leads were obtained, the arrest of
several suspects is anticipated.
Suspect Strangers
It was disclosed that Miss Call
oway had waited on two stran-
gers at the cafe about 3 a. m. and
the belief is that one or the other
may have been the thief. The men
did not enter the cafe at the same
time. One of them, about rs years
of age, of light complexion,
weighing about ITS pounds and
wearing a cream colored topcoat,
bought a package of cigarets and
left. Shortly after, the other man
somewhat older and heavier, and
wearing a dark brown suit, walk
ed into the cafe and ordered cup
of coffee and cigarets. While there
he inquired as to the cafes clos
ing hour and asked the distance to
Fairfax. The men are believed to
have been riding in an old pick
up model Ford or Chevrolet. The
name "Starbuck' on one of the
doors led authorities to believe
they may have been from that
community which is located in
Pope county.
The sheriff there was notified
Monday and is attempting to link
several suspects with the case.

Kmchers Get
Commission S
OK for Bank
OLIVIA MEN GRANTED
PERMISSION OVER
PROTESTS

A charter for a second bank
in Redwood Falls was grant,
ed Frank and George Kircher
of Olivia following a hearing
before the state securities
commission in st. Paul Tues
day. They already have banks
at Olivia and Danube.
The charter grant came as
a surprise to most Redwood
Falls residents as three at
tempts to establish banks
here in recent years have
failed.
Here Wednesday, the Kirscher
brothers declined to say just when
the institution would be open for
business. They said they are
considering two buildings in
which to locate and stated that
they will be in Redwood Falls
much of the time in the near flu
ture, organizing the bank and
preparing building for occu-
pancy.
Name is Chosen
The institution will be known
as The State Bank of Redwood
Falls, they said.
Frank Kirscher will be presi-
dent and George vice president
and cashier and there will be
three other employees. They
promised the commission that a
Kirscher will make his home here
upon organization of the bank. An
opportunity will be given local
people to subscribe for stock, they
stated.
A delegation of Redwood Falls
residents appeared at the hearing
to protest the establishment of the
bank by the Kirschers. With A.
j. White as spokesman, the group
expressed the opinion that anoth-
er bank is needed here but said
that Redwood Falls wants a home
owned bank. They stated that
unquestionably the Kirscher
brothers are good bankers and
have good banks but that home
people should have control Of
new institution.
Committee Attends
Parker D. Sanders pointed out
that there is only room for two
banks here and that If one were
put in by out-of-town people the
possibility of ever having home
owned bank would be eliminated.
L. E. Backer and Frank Clague
also made a few remarks.
Others In the group were A. M.
Dennistour, A. j. Coleman, Martin
Lohrenz, A. r. A. Laudon, o. A.
Stensvad, j. F. Knudson, D. L.
Crimmins, Frank Weeks, Willard
Holmberg and Theo. Gandrud.
John M. Zwach and H. M.
Aune, Redwood county represen-
tatives at the state legislature, al
so attended.
L. r. Ewart of the Citizens
State bank of Redwood Falls told
the commissioners that he does
not believe a second bank here is
necessary. He said that he felt he
was giving banking service to ev-
eryone wanting it and entitled to
it.
