VOLUME XU. •K f ftWTT feEDWOOD FALLS, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1910. NO. 36. WALNUT GROVE REMAINS DRY Alleged Illegal Yotm* Closely Contested, But Facts With the Drys. " ! ^ Dresow Found to be Neither a Citizen Nor a Legal Resident, It took only one day in court for W. J. McDonald, representing: the no-license sentiment of Walnut Qrove, to demonstrate that the vote on license at the last election, instead of being 47 votes for license to 46 against, as voted and counted, was legally 46 to 46, or a tie vote, and hence a black eye for license. The able attorneys for the license side discovered, when the evidence was all in, that they were up against facts that gave them no show to le- galize the vote of Albert Dresow, on which the contest turned. On the contrary, Mr. Enerson, for the con- testant, produced conclusive evidence that Albert Dresow was not a legal resident of Walnut Grove at the time of the March election, having come there to make his home only 22 days before, but that in fact Albert was an alien in the eyes of the law, although he had lived in this country ever since he was four years old. This was established by evidence showing that the father of Albert, August Dresow, who appeared on the stand, did not become a citizen until 1899, and at that time Albert was nearly 30, and never having taken out naturalization papers, was and is an alien. . - • '- - Another point raised by Attorney Enerson to disqualify the vote of the elder Dresow, was that the naturalization record in the clerk of court's office in this county showed that Judge Webber had failed to make his signature as part of the record required. Judge Olson ruled that the record was valid without the judge's signature, the minutes ot' the court for that date confirming the validity of the naturalization. A contrary, ruling would have had the effect of disqualifying over 500 citizens of this county, that number of unsigned records having been counted by Clerk Weldon in the book referred to. long Trial Trip Sold Mason Car. W. T. Willcox, of the firm of Will- cox & Schueller, took W. H. Gold and John Cooper on a business trip through the southwestern part of Redwood county, over into Lyon county, in a Mason car, making in the neighborhood of 150 miles, and returning to Redwood Falls before dusk, making, as both of the passen- gers asserted, one of the most satis- factory auto rides they had ever taken. Mr. W. H. Gold, when within a mile and a half from Redwood, gave Mr. Willcox an order for a four-pas- senger runabout Mason car, with all the equipments complete. If pros- pective purchasers of autos would try out the car that they intend to buy as thoroughly as did Mr. Gold did this one, they would get a better idea of the value of power in an auto. Messrs. Willcox & Schueller, local agents, would be pleased to give any would-be purchaser a like demon- stration of the Mason cars. , : It Bridge street is lining up this gpring as a residency street, Asa Carkhuff having opened up the game at the west end after Peter McPherson had started it in the eastern section, where he recently installed his family in comfortable quarters. C. D. Thompson is getting plans drawn for another fine resi- dence to replace the old Watson house, opposite S. O. Mason's, and Daniel McLean is also planning to build on the two lots between Thompson's and B. Kuenzli's. All of these houses will be comfortable aioderr homes when finished. ifiy% ''*.>/* * ^ - > i < s * , r* ,, Af.iu'4': H ,;.y iiis lilllll JOEL P. HEATWOLE AND TH0S. WILSON Sudden Death of Two Distinguished Gt- izens of Minnesota. Yesterday morning's papers contained announcements of the death of two distinguished Minnesotans, Hon. Joel P. Heatwole, editor of the Northfield News and former congressman from the third district, and Judge Thomas Wilson of St. Paul, distinguished attorney and a regent of the state university. Mr. Heatwole stood at the head of the newspaper profession in this state, as a leader of public opinion and a fearless champion of what he believed to be right. Of late years he has incessantly emphasized in his paper the need of curbing the power of corporate greed in all its phases and has never missed a chance to smite the most powerful combine of all, the brewery interest. Besides being a strong writer Mr. Heatwole was a good printer and business man, the Northfield News, although a country office, turning out some of the finest samples of the printer's art. He died while seated in a chair talking to his wife and a physician, Bright's disease being the cause of death. He was born at Waterford, Indiana, in 1856. Judge Wilson's death was caused by a ruptured blood vessel and his dead body was found in the bath room of his apartment at the Aber- deen hotel. The judge was born in county Tyrone, Ireland, in 1827, came to America in his youth and was graduated from Allegheny, Pa., college in 1852, coming to Minnesota and beginning the practice of law at Winona in 1855. He was successive- ly a member of the state constitu- tional convention in 1857, district judge, associate justice and chief justice of the state supreme court, and of late years was eminent as a railroad attorney, having appeared in this city several times in that ca- pacity.

If he does he will Br. Meyer is to be at the State take with him all the essentials for The Vassar Girls wound up the local lecture course last Thursday evening, with a bumper audience, which evinced its appreciation by enthusiastic applause after almost every number. As musicians, the Vassar Girls are about the best or- ganization that this city has ever had. The singer. Miss Gilda McCoy, and the violinist. Miss Sandager, are each artists of rare talent in their respective lines, and the company as a whole is able, to evoke the finest harmony with the various instru- ments which they introduce in their programs. Chairman Baldwin of the lecture course committee made a short statement preliminary to the con- cert, stating that the course as a whole would about break even finan- cially, which was better than the most sanguine had hoped, up to recently.- Mr. Baldwin also voiced the appreciation of all concerned for the good work done by Messrs. Hitch- cock and Brand in advertising the different entertainments and looking after the finances. There is so much work connected with such a course that hereafter it should be paid for out of the receipts. The course this year cost $640 in all, for the three splendid entertainments* and two lectures, and if the same htgh grade is maintained, most people, should jump at the chance of getting! Sunday School Convention in Minne- apois, next week, April 12 to 14th. It is the only state in the the entire northwest visited by this great man. Every pastor, Superintendent, teacher and S. S. worker of every denomination should attend. Every school in this county should elect delegates at once. It is the greatest religious educational movement in our state. Minneapolis will do all in its power for the comfort of the delegates. On account of the great number of delegates. it will be impossible to give free entertainment; but good rooms can be secured for 50c, 75c or $1.00. The ladies of the convention church will serve lunches in the basement at very low prices. making a five town right from the start, with Clemens and Herb to get out the I auterbach Weekly Leader, Mike and Joe to open a store and harness shop and Dad for mayor. The Lauterbach band and orchestra could certainly do all of the neces- sary blowing to boom the town right from the start. Mead family Enjoy California. A few words from a friendly let- ter from C. W. Mead will be of interest to many of his friends here. Writing from San Diego, Mr. Mead tells us that the family has been j the purchaser, there a little over a week and like it very well.

Powell farm Goes at Big Price. Messrs. Tyson and Cooper, exe- cutors for the Josephine Powell es- ; tate, managed a successful sale of 1 the farm belonging to the estate at i the auction sale in thig city last J Monday, when Joe Tyson as auction- eer knocked down the 150 acres at the price of $69 per acre, the im- provements on the farm being Scarcely of enough tfalue to count in the bidding. It goes to show that proximity to Redwpod Falls is worth about ten dollars an acre to the per- son who has farm land within easy distance of this city. Fred. Banker Elect Three High School Teachers.

Journal: "The act was committed between the hours of 10 and 11 p. m. shortly after saying good night to his em- ployer, who was leaving the house in company with another hand to look after a prairie fire that was burning close by. On returning Kellington saw a light in the barn and on investigating found Miller hanging from one of the rafters. He was immediatly cut down but life was extinct. He was in good circumstances and so far as it is known there was no cause for the deed. It seems the act was committed on the impulse of the moment, as he had but two hours before writ- teu to his brother, T. F. Miller, making inquiries of a business nature asking for an early reply and inquir- ing as to the health of other relatives. It was only on the 11th of the present month that he left his brother's home south of Voltaire where he had spent the winter and went to Seven Persons, Canada, in search of a location, from which place he wrote his brother that he would start for Morton Minn., the same night. On reaching Portal he, however, changed his mind and hired out to Robt Kellington. T. F. Mil- ler was notified by phone of his brother's death, and left Monday night for Portal, where he was join- ed the following day by W. W. Mil- ler his brother from Morton, Minn, The remains were brougt here and the funeral took place yesterday at 1.30 p. m. under the auspices of the Odd Fellow Lodge. At a special meeting of the board of education Monday, Hardwen H. Williams of Fayette, Iowa, was elected principal for the coming year, Mrs. Ed. Pratt having declined to re- new her contract for that position, Miss Sadie Whittle was elected as in- structor in Latin and cooking and Miss Sadie LaDue of Minneapolis in- structor in music and English. There yet remain vacancies in two grades to be filled for next year, as well as a manual training and eighth grade l assistant to complete the faculty for 1910-n. The Los Angeles Herald of March 26th contained the announcement of the rumored consolidation of the Exchange Bank of Long Beach, of which Will Wallace is cashier, with State bank of the same city, each bank having a paid up capital of $100,000 and the combined institu- tions doing a business of nearly a million dollars at this time. Mr. Wallace will be strictly in it when the consolidation is effected, accord- ing to opinions expressed here.

His boyhood days . were spent on the Miller farm in Birch Cooley. The same paper contains the following: Ira Anderson, a young man who has been employed by Westly O'- Brien for some months past, was found dead in the house on the Jo- seph Schanil place three miles northwest of Olivia Monday. When found he was sitting on a chair in the bed room in his night clothes, with his head leaning back against the wall. The condition of the body showed that he had died some hours before he was found, and the supposition ia that death overtook him sometime during the night before. An autop- sy for- the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the young man's death was held and it was found that death was due to a rupture of the valves of the heart. The deceased was about 34 years of age and single. He worked at farm labor here the past three or four years but his home is at Eagle Lake, Blue Earth county, where his father resides. He is said to have been rather weak mentally, and was apparently neglected by his relatives as none of them were present to attend his funeral. The county will probably have to be# the expenses of the funeral. v!< * it* v.; HE m AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE O UR AUTOMOBILE POLICY contains the following desira- ble features: • It COVERS ANYWHERE within the United States and Canada, wheth- er in a garage or other building, or on the road, against fire, explosion and theft.
