PICKPOCKETS AT
SCHOOL PROGRAM

Windom-No one would think
of being on the lookout for pick
pockets at rural graduation ex-
ercises, but it's the unexpected
that happens. Four or five men
went home without their wallets
and cash totaling about 500
after the Cottonwood county ex-
erciSeS.
The setting for the pickpockets
was ideal in every way. It was
a hot day and men went without
their coats. Purses could easily
be spotted in advance. Several
men remembered being jostled
as they left the place by a man
who made an excuse for the &C
cident.
Sheriff Bell was notified and
had a description of one of the
men broadcast Immediately. This
resulted in a man being picked
up at Heron Lake and held for
investigation, but he was releas-
ed when he proved his identity.
The sheriff is working on an
other clue which may bring re-
suits.
Mrs. Summons, county super
intendent of schools, reported
that she had call late the night
before the exercises, asking
where the ceremonies were to be
held. She said she thought it was
some of the school people who
inquired, but now is inclined to
think it was one of the thieves
getting advance information.

A Reader Writes
Why Change School
Board Officers?

In the evening of Tuesday,
July Goth, every citizen of Red
wood Falls should consider it a
duty to 60 to the Lincoln School
Building and cast ballot for two
parties whom they desire to act
as their board officers for the
next three years.
The two officers whose terms
of office have expired and who
have consented to permit their
names to be placed on the ballot
for reelection are Mrs. G. A.
Lauterbach and Louis Cheney. To
permit a further choice the
names of Mrs. George Barnes
and J. L. Parsons (commendable
candidates) have been submitted
by petition of a small group of
citizens.
Two important things should
be considered by every voter be-
fore casting his or her ballot at
this election. First, the present
school board members have with
out doubt had one of the greatest
and most difficult tasks to solve
that has confronted any school
board in the past. Providing &C
commodations for all the high
school pupils for uninterrupted
classes after the high school
burned, planning for a magnifi-
cent new building which is only
about $50 complete in con-
struction, has required many
hours of toll and worry without
compensation except for the sat-
isfaction of having served ones
community. Surely nothing but
an ungrateful public would re-
place a faithful servant under
these conditions.
Secondly, for years the farmers
of this community had been
without representation on the
board until Mr.. Cheney was
elected three years ago. Nothing
would be more unfair then to de-
prive the farmers of such re-
presentation at this time and to
replace such valuable and
faithful officer as Mr.. Cheney
has been.
Keep the present board intact
and permit them to finish the big
task that they have so well con-
Quoted thus far, the details of
which they are thoroughly famil-
lar with.

Nary's T&
Little
'arnn,=-

Blue laws were enforced to the
utmost by Speller Johnson. For
knowingly, wrongfully and will
fully opening his saloon on Sun
day, host paid a $40 fine and it
cost a barber a dollar to engage
in general tonsorial practice" on
the Sabbath.
-
There was traffic problem
here then, too.
Mike Holton was fined for rid
ing horse faster than six miles
an hour; Charley Tenney plead
guilty to running his horses on
the street and another man ap-
peared in court on a charge of
"unlawfully injure a wagon by
running into it with his team
while drawing a load of lumber"
-f-f-
Patrick O'Brian, an impulsive
IriShman if ever one was describ-
ed in the records, was just one of
the many who "shot off a revolver
inside the limits of the village
contrary to an ordinance provid-
ing for the good order of the viii
lage of Redwood Falls"
-f-f-
H. T. Winter was adjudged
guilty of a crime in keeping a hay
stack within the city limits and
another man was hailed before
the justice for thoughtlessly
throwing dirty water onto one of
the main streets.
49,
The records don't show what
became of the fellow who "un-
lawfully assaulted and laid hands
on - and threaten to
strike him and violently pushed
him around on the sidewalk"
Probably nothing. He appears to
have acted in the generally ap-
proved manner.
-f-f-
What vengeance lurked in the
mind of the man, of whom sworn
witnesses said this: 81 know the
deft. on this case and seen him on
the sixth of December at my
house. I was inside eating my
breakfast. I heard him makeing
noice outdoors. I got up and went
cut to see if any cattle were there
but there was no cattle there BY
this time he was walking away
with a pitchfork in his hand and
looking back seen me then he
turned and came back close to
where I stood and nocked me
down with the pitch handle, then
went away"
Probably the deft. couldn't
think of anything else to do at
that hour of the morning.

Gypsies Get Purse
From Franklin Man

Franklln-Wllliam Diekmeier
of Franklin is all through giving
information to gypsies. A carload
of them stopped at his residence
recently to inquire about a
camping place. The next minute
they were gone and so was Mr..
Diekmeier's purse and the $29 it
contained.
Mr.. Diekmeier had just arriv-
ed home and was feeding the
chickens when the gypsies stop
ped and one of them called to
him. He walked over to the car
and was engaged in conversation
by one of the men while one of
the women stepped out of the
car and tried to induce him to
have his fortune told. Not inter-
ested in having them predict his
future, he walked away from the
car and the gypsies drove off.
When they were out of sight, he
thought of his purse. 1t had been
in his hip pocket, but the woman
succeeded in unbuttoning the
pocket and taking it out.

Zenith of Zouthern Minnesota,
Pride of the Prairie, Renowned
through Redwood county
Redwood Falls!
But a few scattered sometimes,
we get so tired of it all.
Yes, boredom bursts over us
every too often Take our re-
gular beat as an example of
downright sameness. We go. up
the street past Joe Lauterbach
carrying a loaf of bread from Sis
ter Sues bakery, hair and apron
flying in the wind There's
Clarence Hillig Sinking about
the Schoolboard And now
we've got to Judge T. F. Reed Jr.
>. :. He's filming people for build
ing their houses too close to the
alley double parking . and
running stop signs.
Life wasn't like this in the VIII
lage of Redwood Falls in the
Energetic Eighties 49,.
Let's look at the municipal
court docket for the period be-
tween 1900 and 1887.
Then Justice of the Peace Ben
jamin Johnson had several assault
and battery cases every day and
took drunk and diSorderly con-
duct as calmly as Judge Reed
takes his afternoon coffee. He
wasn't as good a speller as Judge
Reed, but his costs were lower.
He usually got 40 cents from a
a grossly intoxicated" victim,
$1.35 from some one convicted of
feloniously and wilfully stealing
a mare.
You could simply raise the
dickens on the street here, snatch
a watch chain direct off the vest
of the saloon keeper and break
windows within the corporate
limits of said village all for
a 81 fine and the usual 40 cent
cost. Reading the records Of the
general Hades-raising, some of
you more ambitious souls might
be tempted to say it must have
been worth it.
Here's an everyday, typical case
from Justice Johnson's docket,
written in Justice Johnson's typi-
cal style:
November 4, 1880, Ezra Trues-
dali entered complaint on oath in
writing and said that - -
did violate the village ordinance
by makeing noice and disturbing
the peace and hooking sign
board to peaces The prisoner
was arraied by reading the war
rant to which he plead 'gilty.' ]
thereupon adgudg and determen
that he pay a fine"

BANKERS STOP
ROBBERY RUMOR

A man at a beer dispensary
east of st. Peter walked into the
back room of the establishment
one morning last week, picked
up a microphone attached to the
radio set in the tavern and made
the following statement: "The
st. Peter National Bank was rob-
bed early this morning by two
armed bandits" Two men, drink
ing beer in the place, left shortly
afterward.
Less than an hour later bank
officials were called to the phone
by the Gaylord National Bank,
seeking to find out how it hap
pened and how much was stolen.
ST. Peter bank officials quickly
scotched the rumor.

ON THE SHOULDERS OF SD

ON THE SHOULDERS OF SIX
board of education members rests the duty
of spending the greater share of the dollars
we pay annually in taxes for the support OF
the several units of government which de-
rive funds from direct taxation. Besides
the annual levy, they have the spending of
money received as state school aid and what
is more important, they have charge of the
schools in which our children are trained for
their life work.
However until recent years there was
little interest in the election of the two
school board members whose terms expired
each July. For several years the attendance
at school meetings has been unprecedented,
big crowds going to vote for the candidates
they felt were best fitted to have charge OF
the school system.
Next Tuesday another school election
will be held. Four candidates have filed for
the two posts which will be filled at that
meeting. It is important that voters give
the matter careful attention, discuss the
qualifications of the candidates with friends
and neighbours take time to go to the
polls and vote.
A HALF DOZEN VISITORS AT A
Green lake resort Sunday had considerable
to say about the condition of highway II in
Minnesota. Most Of them were from Kan
sas City and Omaha and had taken the
shortest route into the lake country. They
found the going good until shortly after
crossing the North Star state line, after
which they had plenty to complain about.
One or two drivers had heard about the
condition of the highway before coming and
had taken another route, adding about rs
miles to their trip. Others were going back
a different way to avoid the chuck holes.
Towns along highway II have every
m Ia fbv lyio
ularly since our legislators voted for the gas
tax increase so the road could be permanent
ly improved this summer.
THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL IS
OF considerable value to towns such as Red
wood Falls which can hardly afford the pro-
lection of motorcycle policemen to enforce
traffic regulations, particularly those gov
erning speeds which officers on foot are
considerably handicapped in enforcing. Ere
quent presence of the patrolmen and occa-
sional arrests have strong tendency to
keep at minimum the number who drive
without regard for life and limb.
The city is unfortunate in losing the
patrol station, which was located here until
the first of this month, to Glencoe. The
Lions club will be applauded in it's efforts to
obtain reconsideration of the transfer.
REDWOOD FALLS BECAME THE
home of several good families when radio
station KIND was installed here and the
city receives considerable publicity over the

fortunate if the station was moved to
quieter place because of man made static in
reference.
