Strange Case of
Wright County Boy

The 14-year-old high school
youth who confessed to setting
three fires in the Cokato school,
was committed to the state re-
formatory at Red Wing by Juve-
nile Judge o. j. Anderson, with
recommendation that he be kept
there until he is 81 years old.
"In my II years of experience"
declared Anderson, "this is the
strangest case of its kind / have
seen. The boy does not seem to
be mean, his intelligence is slight
ly better than average, and coun-
ty officers have found him to be
a likeable lad"
Although the boy has admitted
setting the fires as well as steal
ing and damaging a car, he
could offer no explanation for his
acts, nor did he seem to under
stand why he had done it.
sHe seems to be a victim of a
compound desire for setting fires"
Anderson commented.
Given intelligence tests at the
judges office, the boy was found
to have an I. @. of 90, and AM
derson believed that if he had not
been under strain it might have
been as high as So, which is bet
ter than average.
In the cases of all three fires,
the boy declared he did not get
the idea of setting them until a
short time before he did it. The
third fire, he said, was entirely
unprecedented. He had been in
the basement of the building,
CHANGED to see the costume room,
and on the spur of the moment
tossed a lighted match in and
J locked the door.

WELLS FARGO"
FILM TRIBUTE
TO PIONEERS

The story of Americas Life
line of Empire" the Wells Fargo
Trail, first highway to connect
the east and far west, forms the
dramatic background for "Wells
Fargo" the screen romance with
Joel McCrea, Frances Dee and
Bob Burns which will be shown
Sunday and Monday at the Red
wood theatre.
Painted on an heroic canvas,
wells Fargo traces the history
of the opening of the west from
the time of the discovery of gold
at Suffers Mill until the close of
the war between the states, with
the express business of Henry
Wells and William Fargo, which
has developed into today's Rail-
way Express Agency, forming the
background.
For romance the picture follows
the love story of a typical western
family. Their fortunes, closely
linked with the winning of the
west, form the main theme of the
picture.
In producing "Wells Fargo" it
was the purpose of Paramount
Pictures to pay tribute to the ex-
pressmen who played an import
ant part in the American history.
These men were the first on the
scene when gold was discovered
in California, to carry the news
and supplies to remote mining
camps and 'tdiggings" and, on the
return trip to carry out the gold
for shipment to the east. The
dangers they encountered from
Indians, bandits and nature, sup
ply the picture with inspirational
appeal and thrills.

to do. but after brief moments
thought, I picked up the hambur-
gers, placed them on the trap and
served them to the sailors, who
seemed to relish them all the more
for their salty BATH"
From Cairo the fisherman"
sailed to Alden, an ivory trading
port at the southern end of the
Red sea. Several stops were made
at small islands in the Indian
ocean. At one of these Mr.. Kuy-
pers recalls having bought bunch
es of about 100 three-inch ban
anas for so cents each.
"The captain watched me care
fully to see that I didn't eat too
many, because people had been
poisoned from eating too much
fruit and had died right there on
the ship"
In the East Indies the first stop
was at Batavia, Java, where the
boy was dressed in native garb
and treated like a prince. 1t was
quite a contrast to being cuffed
around by the sailors.
After about a month IN che
Dutch East Indies, the ''Taber-
man" and her crew sailed for
home by the same route by which
they had come.
Notwithstanding his rough
treatment at the hand and feet of
the sailors, the aspiring young sea
captain was ready to go again.
His father, however, took hand
in his destiny at this point. He
was packed off to America where
he eventually became director of
the Hamline university cappella
choir. @

WINCATE'S STORE
AT OLIVIA BURNS:
WILL BE REBUILT
ONLY WALLS REMAIN
LOSS COVERED BY
FULL INSURANCE

w. R. Wingate of Redwood
Falls will rebuild the Big Store
at Olivia, destroyed by fire Sun
day. Two solid brick walls left
by the flames will be used in the
new building.
He was unable to say when
construction will start as insur-
ance adjustments had not been
made by Wednesday night.
Loss to the building which he
recently purchased was fully COW
cred by insurance, but the fire
will put him out of business for
three or four months as a new
building cannot be completed be-
fore May l.
Flames broke out in the store
at 1920 a. m. Sunday and ragged
for nearly II hours, leaving only
the two brick walls and front of
what was one of Renville county's
largest department stores. The
building was so badly burned that
fire marshals have been unable
to determine the cause, but the
IlioI IllS1S "dS q LII 1loSS
explosion is borne out by the
fact that front windows were
forced out.
When the fire got beyond con-
troll of the Olivia department
and volunteer fire fighters, the
Renville and Bird Island fire de-
partments were called.
Goods belonging to B. J. Kohl,
former owner of the store who
was holding a closing out sale,
were SO damaged that it is not
believed there will be any sal
wage. Mr.. Kohl was away on a
trip in search of new location.
Mr.. Wingate was to have taken
over the store February and
will now have to store his stock.
He releases the New Palace to
Ehlers and Habicht of Worthing-
ton February 10.

Makes Violins

Just a hobby, but an unusual
one; Jay Squier of Clarinda, Iowa,
printer by trade, has just COM
pleted his. forty-fifth violin, a
superb toned instrument. Here he
is shown completing construction
and on the bench are parts for
violin No. 46. He carved most of
this instrument from a piece of
maple cut in Decatur county,
Iowa; the spruce top is from wood
purchased years ago, and the
finger board of native walnut.
Both top and bottom are beauti-
fully inlaid, all his own handi-
work. Mr.. Squier has also man.

Joseph Tyson Dies

ISOLATION for many years.
During one trip to the west
coast he visited the Yakima val
ley which so appealed to him
that he bought 100 acres of land
where he raised hops and built
up herd of Holstein cattle. When
he sold the Washington land he
returned to Redwood Falls, then
moved with his family to Madi-
son, Wisconsin and later to Shell
byville, Illinois, where he built a
home. The family returned to
Redwood Falls several years ago.
The varieties of wild flowers in
Ramsey park, the lovely vistas
from the winding roads and even
the park itself, will remain as a
monument to his love of beauty
and work in preserving it for all
classes of people. He worked un-
ceasingly to have the tract set
aside as a public playground, then
planned the roads and imported
and planted trees and flowers
there. He was the first park sup
erintendent.
He was also instrumental in
establishing the Redwood county
fair and was the first president
of the agricultural association,
holding the office for II years.
A Mason for Sc years, he was
the first man here to take the
work in the Commandery. He
was also a member of the Chap
ter and Blue. lodge.
Mr. Tyson was taken i'll De-
cember Is and was taken to Ro-
chester December 81. He was
brought back to Redwood Falls
by ambulance December 81 and
placed in the hospital.
Survivors are his wife, the
former Nettie McKelheer WHOM
he married in 1896 and his sons
Robert Edwin of Madison, Wis
consin and Thomas of Redwood
Falls. There is one grandchild
Jean Alec Tyson.

There was nothing more to be said,
80 Peter took . last look at the tiny
Gobblers and went on about his busi-
ness. He felt that he had been re-
warded for keeping his promise by
this one glimpse Of Mrs. oobbler's
family, but the best reward was the
feeling that he had been true to his
given word.

Peter needed no second invitation.
He crept In among the ferns. Mrs.
Gobbler was sitting on her nest just
as he had last seen her As soon as
Peter was near enough to see she
stood up, and as he had once done
before, Peter gasped. Instead Of II
speckled eggs there were IL downy
little birds. Aren't they the most
beautiful babies you ever saw?" de-
manded Mrs. Gobbler, her eyes shining
with loving pride.
OF course. Peter couldn't admit that
they were more beautiful than his
own, for you knew al mothaEs and

most beautiful babies in all the world,
but he hastened to say that they were
indeed beautiful.
''You are the very first one to see
them," declared Mrs. Gobbler, "and
that is because you kept my secret.
It is sort of reward, you know"
And very nice reward it Is" re-
piled Peter. 1T must be nice to have
your worries at an end"

Peter. You must promise not even
to hint that I have any babies. You
must try to forget that there IS such
. person in the Green Forest as my
self. 1t is going to be thousand
times harder to keep folks from know

it was to keep my nest secret"
Cant I even tell Mr.. Gobbler?"
