WORK ON HIGH SCHOOL
PROGRESSING AT
TOP SPEED

A significant change which
probably went unnoticed by all
but few persons, was made in
Redwood Falls this week.
Did you know that the marble
block near the top of the Lincoln
school bore the legend Public
SCHOOL," The institution was not
named until after the building
was completed and the contract
Ors and school board thought it
best to generaliZe.
With the new high school near
ing completion, the block was re-
moved and replaced with one in
scribed Lincoln School, and a
similar one specifying high
school, was put up there.
The head of the Jensen Con-
struction company of Minneapolis
inspected the new school this
week and expressed himself high
ly pleased with the progress
made. Charlebois brothers ex-
pect to complete the roofing in
about a week and the bricklayers,
laying tile partitions between
rooms, will finish Monday.

l have a very distinct recollec-
ton of an important episode in
the Sioux outbreak in Minnesota
in the year 1863 when I was three
years old, then living in the viii
lage of Waterville in lie. Sueur
county. I was keenly watching a
group of Uncle Sans soldiers as
they marched by our residence,
riding on horse back, on their way
from the eastern part of the state
and disappearing over a hill west
of town toward st. Peter. I have
learned from history many years
since that these soldiers were then
on their way to st. Peter where
they were trained by General
Sibley to meet Little Crows war
riors at Fort Ridgely and they
prevented the Indians from cap
turing the fort I also learned
that about the same time Colonel
Samuel McPhail brought troops
from Fort Smelling to st. Peter
on a night trip, and the following
night he led soldiers that ended
the siege of Fort Ridgely.
During the siege of Fort Ridge
ly, Mrs. Jacob Schmahl, the moth

moved to Redwood soon after
ward, assisted other women in
making bullets used in defense of
the besieged fort.
Colonel McPhail was active in
aiding in the burial of white set
