MORNING SWIM TAKES
LIFE OF BERNHARDT
JORGENSON, 10

Bernhard (Bud) Jorgenson,
10, Belview farm hand, drowned
in Lake Redwood early Sunday
morning while his young wife and
infant daughter slept in their car
parked on a Redwood Falls street.
Panic-stricken screams of YER
non Reierson, 10, the victims
companion, awakened residents
Of the lake shore district at 4: IS
a. m.
Pulling on bathing trunks, Bill
Finn was arst at the lake where
he found Robertson clinging to the
side of the diving raft. H. A.
Schenck, running down seconds
later, aided Finn in diving to re-
cover the body at the point Rel
erson pointed out, but they were
unsuccessful.
John Apuli, DR.. C. A. Alexan-
der and Mrs. T. E. Finn, put in
calls to the authorities. At SIS
a. m. the Redwood Falls fire de-
partment had recovered the nude
body from under the raft with
graphing hooks.
Cause Uncertain
DR.. T. E. Finn who signed the
death certificate after the inhala-
tor had been used without sue
cess by the department, said it
was impossible to tell whether a
heart attack or cramp had caus-
ed Jorgenson to slip under Is
feet of water without a cry or
any sign of struggle.
Residents in the vicinity first
heard calls of "Hey" as Reierson
missed his friend while they were
swimming near the raft. Then
he yelled Help" a cry so fren-
zied that those who heard it said
it haunted them that night as
they attempted to sleep.
Reierson in a dazed and shock
ed condition following his expert
ence, was taken home by friends

Hot Election
AtLamberton
RECOUNT, OPINION OF
ATTORNEY-GENERAL
HELP DECIDE RACE

Lamberton-A hot school cleo
ton here was not settled until
Wednesday afternoon after re-
count. A decision concerning
several questioned ballots was
sought from the attorney-gener-
ais office in the meantime.
A. G. Einen, veteran member
of the board, was unopposed until
about $3.50 p. m. Tuesday when
friends of William Roth distri-
buted stickers to be used in his
behalf. The whole town turned
out to decide the race.
First count gave Roth 1874 and
Einen 1877 with four votes dis
puted because Roth's name was
written in but the voters had
neglected to make the customary
''X' after his name.
The attorney-generaPs office
was consulted by telephone and
called back later with the opinion
that ''the intent was there" when
the name was written in and the
votes therefore should be counted
for Roth, giving him one vote
majority. In the meantime, how
ever, recount revealed an error
and established new totals, 1873
for Einen, 40 for Roth.
Ted Kuehl was reelected to
the board without opposition.

2 Still Unconscious
Crash Injuries
RITES HELD TUESDAY
FOR MISS JOLLY, 26,
TEACHER HERE

Two other passengers in the
car in which Beatrice Jolly, popu-
lar Redwood Falls primary teach
err, received fatal injuries Satur-
day night at Somerset, Wisconsin,
were still unconscious with frac-
tured skulls at Lakeview Men,
orial hospital at Saltwater today,
the Associated Press reported.
They are Margaret Phillips, "a,
and Edward Endres, %, both of
st. Paul. Miss Phillips had been
reported dead here. --
Charles Wallblom, athletic
coach and Ruth Pelto, former
Kindergarten teacher here, also
received injuries in the accident
in which six young people were
involved.
The fatal mishap occurred
shortly after midnight about
three blocks out of Somerset
where the highway crosses over
a railroad track. An approach
ing car going upgrade and i'm
possible to see until it was almost
upon them, evidently caused
Wallblom to SWerve to the right
to avoid a head-on collision,
friends from here who visited the
place said. The right front of his
machine crashed into a concrete
post at the side of the bridge.
Car Demolished
The heavy abutment plowed
through the car, grazing the mo-
tor, taking off the manifold and
exhaust pipe and showing the
battery into the glove compart-
ment.
Thrown into the rear of the
car by the force of the impact,
Miss jolly was crushed from the
waist down and suffered head in
juries. After being treated at
Lakeview Memorial hospital at
Saltwater, she was rushed to ST.
Joseph's hospital, st. Paul, where
she died at $3.50 a. m. Sunday.
She was conscious up to the time
of her death and talked to her
parents.
The six young people had been
to confession at White Bear and
drove to Somerset afterward.
Miss Jolly and Wallblom were
riding in the front seat, their
four friends in the back.
.Wallblom sustained a dislocat-
ed right hip and badly battered
knee and minor facial cuts. He
will be at the Saltwater hospital
for about three weeks and will
probably be able to be up and
around before he is released. He
was told of Miss Jolly's death by

Tom Hosken and the Company
L softball team are upholding the
honor of this community at Camp
Ripley according to dispatch
from there Wednesday.
HoSken was high man in the

for the national rifle match.
The company's rifle team plac-
ed third in the regiment, being

All we nave to do now is beat

event lasted about an hour and
half.
There were 5000 soldiers
marching and 10000 spectators.
The parade ground is about a

quarters of mile wide, so they
can do things in a big way.
.'We had about 40 visitors from

As Harvesting Starts;
Yields to Vary Widely
COMBINE-THRESHED
BARLEY MARKETED
HERE SATURDAY

Transient farm hands poured
into Redwood county as the har-
vest season got underway this
week.
They came from Kentucky, Pen
nsylvania, Kansas, Nebraska, Wis
consin, South Dakota, Michigan
and other states and most of them
got work.
Cutting Of barley, oats and rye
is about two-thirds completed,
persons travelling through the
county every day estimate. Near
ly all cutting will be done by next
week.
Grain already harvested throu-
ghout the storm area is disap-
pointing. Lodged by wind and
rain two weeks ago, many heads
failed to fill out and the bumper
crop expected early in the season
has not materialized. Crops look
mighty fine around Wabasso and
in other places spared in the
storm, however, and yields will
vary widely throughout the coun-
ty.
First at Market
Only combine threShed grain has
been received at elevators here as
yet, and all of that barley. First
to bring in new grain this year
was U. B. Hakes who lives south
east of Redwood Falls. Both the
North Redwood Farmers Elevator
and the Redwood Falls Farmers
Elevator received Hakes barley
Saturday.
H. c. Schmidt whose farm is
southwest of the city produced
very good grade of barley and
was among the first to haul it to
town.
Carl Stancer living east of North
Redwood and Gay Bliss were
also among far1fiers bringing in
early combine-threshed barley.
Going wage for harvest hands
is about SO day according to j.
w. Lauterbach of the Minnesota
Employment service. About IS
men were placed through the ag-
ency when barley cutting started
last week and this week he ex-
poets to place between so and IS
farm workers.
Hands in Demand
There's big demand for hands
here and the service attempts to
place local men where possible,
he said. WPA workers are being
taken off the public rolls and put
to work in the fields.
The Olivia office of the service
is open full time during the sea-
son, with Grace O'Neil in charge.

Only a penny was left in the
bag. The thief drank half a bot
tie Of Orangeade while a guest of
the establishment.
Three weeks ago, the Redwood
Cleaners was entered through a
basement window ara SIS stolen
by a person evidently familiar
with the establishment. A door
in the desk was pried open and
the money bag and cash taken.
A few nights later a screen on
window of the Melges Produce
was cut and a thief entered,
stealing several packages of Gig
arets and candy bars. Fifty-fve
packets Of smokes were later
found near the place in a truck
where they had been planted.

it struck the approach to the Big

from the serious injuries receiv-
ed by his friends. Il always
heard that you should drop to the
bottom of the car and relax when
an accident happened, so l did,"
he told the doctor. do you
think 1 did right?" The physi-
clan agreed that he apparently
had.
All the passengers live at

bag concealed in the desk.
How the thief entered is a my

The boys, ranging in age from
IL to Is, most of them from Bel
view, were found guilty at a
solemn hearing at the depot
Monday morning, with Mayor
John Ziegler conducting the in
quest.
The frightened youths and their
parents finally reached the deci-
sion that a fine of $40 each, with
the alternative of assisting the
constable with odd jobs was a
just punishment. Unanimously,
they chose to help the cop. 1t
was also stipulated that they he
off the streets by 9 p. m. for the

panied by their parents.
