BUSES, MAIL MOVING
TODAY AS PLOWS
START WORK

Traffic was already moving to-
day over main arteries while
plows were clearing lesser roads
of drifts left by a March blizzard
which stif1ed travel and trade
throughout Wednesday.
First contact with the outer
world was made by state highway
department plows, which cleared
the way for buses that came
through from both Marshall and
the Twin Cities this morning.
County plows began work early
today. Finding going tough, opera
tors predicted it would two or
three days before the roads are all
cleared.
The M and st. L train failed to
make its Wednesday night trip,
leaving Redwood Falls without
mail this morning but the star
route from Winthrop was expec-
ted through this noon with mail
carried that far by trains on an
other branch of the line. The
Winthrop truck failed to get here
Wednesday although the star
route from Morgan made the
shorter trip behind the snow
pillow.

night before ragged most of We'd

ter drifts which had practically
vanished during the warm wealth.
er earlier in the month. Wet and
heavy, the snow contained consid-
cradle moisture which should
prove boon to farm crops.
Many travellers were stranded
here while perhaps an equal
number of Redwood Falls persons
were waiting for plows to clear
the highways before returning to
the city. Mrs. w. E. Paffrath and
children started back from Tole-
do, Iowa, in a warm rain Wednes-
day. The rain gradually turned
to sleet and snow as they pro-
ceeded northward until at Mason
City, Iowa, they found 40. cars
stalled in drifts. After a five hour
wait for plows, they came
through to Albert Lea, Minnesota,
where they stopped for the night.
According to N. B. Andersen,
Redwood Falls weatherman, over
three inches fell Tuesday and
nearly 13 Wednesday. The tenn
perature was rs above at the
4warmest Wednesday and dropped
to % above by p. m. Mr.. An
dersen considers it interesting
that March 26, 1886 there were Is
inches of snow.

dered Bud Campion of Milroy
Friday night after they had thrust
gun in his back and robbed him
of $40.
Campion, filling station mana
ger, had closed his place about IL
p. m. and was going home with
the days proceeds in billfold in
an inside pocket. The two men
stepped from behind the hard
ware store, one standing behind
him, the other at his side. One
held gun to his back while the
other tipped open his jacket and
removed the billfold from his
pocket.
The victim did rot report the
theft until next morning when he
notified Lyon county authorities
who called Sheriff L. j. Kise.
Campion was unable to furnish
Kise with a description of the
men, but it is believed that they
were familiar with the hour of his
closing, his route home and knew
the pocket in which he usually
kept his money.

While most business men strug-
gle to push their cars through
drifts, finally leave them firmly
stuck and founder through deep
snow to their downtown estab-
lishments, Glenn Hillig, Redwood
Falls jeweler, solves the problem
of getting to work with snow
shoes.
A pair of five foot shoes strung
with buckskin thongs which his
wife gave him for Christmas has
come in very handy during this
last storm, Mr.. Hillig says. He
walks over drifts from his home
near the entrance of Ramsey park
in the primitive coI.traptions with
the greatest of ease, insisting that
the process is 'just walking" and
does not take any practice.
Mrs. Hillig bought the shoes
from the Chippewa Indians near
her mothers home at Inger. The
only other pair used in Redwood
Falls are Bear Paws" short
snowshoes which are owned by
Game Warden William O'Conror.

Morton Night Clubs
Get Closing Orders
GAMBLING AND ILLEGAL
LIQUOR CHARGES
FACE NICHOLS

Closing of two widely known
Morton "hot spots," setting of a
hearing at which charges will be
pressed against one of the pro-
prietors and warnings to several
other places that serving of hard
liquor will not be tolerated were
developments Saturday night and
early this week in determined
effort on the part of authorities
to "clean up Renville county"
''The Rock Pile" operated by
Walt Nichols and "The Big
Tree rival establishment oper-
ated by Ted Olson are closed for
good according to Russell Frazee,
Renville county attorney.
Nichols has been ordered to ap-
pear in court at Olivia at 10 a. m.
Saturday where he will face at
least two charges, selling liquor
without a license and running a
gambling house. Nichols place
was particularly Objectionable
because of the large number of
minors who habitually patronized
it, Frazee said, adding that his
office is considering instituting
charges of contributing to the de-
linquency of a minor.
To rumors that the Nichols
place will reopen as soon as ''the
storm blows over" Frazee replied
that under no circumstances will
the authorities compromise on
their determination to keep the
places closed.
If the Renville county Jail were
larger, jewellers at the night clubs
might have spent Saturday night
there but the large number of
patrons, ranging in ages from Is
up according to authorities, could
not have been accommodated
there even if transportation facil-
tiles had been available.
Frazee and Sheriff Henry Hea-
ney made quiet calls at three of
the places and pleasantly request
ed that they dismiss patrons and
close up until further notice.
The visits were made about IL
p. m. and the clubs were shut
down Immediately afterward.
Besides closing ''The Rock
Pile" Heaney and Frazee ordered
all hard liquor removed from the
"Y'' which is operated by Clare
Sweesey and John Steinhaus.
The Birch Coulee Inn on the
west edge of Franklin was also
visited by the officers Saturday
night and Oscar Steen, operator,
was ordered to remove hard Ii
quor. Neither the Y nor the
Franklin establishment could be
closed because they also operate
as filling stations, Frazee said.
Ted Olson received orders to
close "The Big Tree Club" Sun
day.
Nichols said Monday that his
place would be closed until chan
ges which he hopes will meet
with the approval of the public
and the authorities can be made.
Absolutely no hard liquor will
be sold there after it re-opers," he
stated.
Probably irked by across-the-
river criticism of his county, Fra
zee said Monday, "You might note
the fact that three-quarters of the
patrons of the spots were from
Redwood Falls"

HIGHWAY LAWSUIT TO
BE RE-ARGUED FOR
SUPREME COURT

The Appleton property case
which brought statewide atten-
ton to Redwood Falls last Feb
ruary and March will be re-
argued before the state supreme
court April S.
The Minnesota tribunal heard
arguments on the case in Septem-
Der when the state highway de-
partment appealed decision
rendered by Judge Albert H. En-
ersen last April. The district
judge ruled in favor of a group
of taxpayers, S. B. Duea, H. G..
Werder and A. J. White who
brought injunction proceedings to
prevent the payment of $4,000 to
Mrs. Elsie M. Appleton for her
Redwood Falls property.
Mrs. Appleton claimed damages
to her home when the new Red
wood river bridge was built on
the edge of her property. The
highway department agreed to
buy her land for $4,000, have the
house removed and make the
premises into a park.
The taxpayers brought pro-
ceedings against the department,
State Treasurer Julius Schmahl
and State Auditor Stafford King
to prevent payment of warrants
to the Redwood Falls woman.
Attorneys A. c. Dolliff of Red
wood Falls and A. R. English of
Tracy will argue for the taxpay-
er's group while Frank w. Muir
ply of Minneapolis will appear
for Mrs. Appleton and the attor-
ney general for the highway de-
partment.

Womans Niece
Slain by Fiiend
MRS. GUS TEICH GOES
TO PINE CITY TO
ATTEND FUNERAL

Mrs. Gus Teich of Middle
Creek was horror struck Monday
when she received a st. Paul
paper containing an account OF
the fiendish murder and attack of
her niece, Laura Kruse, Is year
old student beauty operator; in
Minneapolis Friday night.
Mrs. Teich, who is the former
Fannie Kruse, is sister of the
girls father, Conrad Kruse. An
other brother, Frank Kruse, lived
on a farm in Three Lakes town
ship near Morgan for several
years.
The newspaper story was the
first word which Mrs. Teich had
of the tragedy. She asked John
Stoutland who runs a cream route
in the vicinity to bring her more
papers running stories concerning
the murder. When he returned
with them, accompanied by
George Wilcox of Redwood Falls,
an old family friend of the
Kruse's, Mrs. Teich had left for
her brothers home in Pine City
where funeral services for the at
tractive victim were held Tues

searching for the attacker whom
they believe to be a blond youth
who drove behind the street car
on which she was riding home
from a party at the beauty school.
1t is believed that she was muir
dered close to the house where
she roomed and the body carried
about~a block away.
