Glenwood Band to go to Browns Valley

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, August 23, 1923.

The fire department was called out Wednesday to a fire that stated in the barn at the Minnewaska hotel. The barn was destroyed before the fire department came. The garage and the icehouse caught fire but the fire was put out. No one seems to know how the fire started. About half the population of our city who had cars went out to see the fire.

From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, August 23, 1923. 

The Glenwood band goes to Browns Valley next week to plat at the fair there. Twenty-four members will make the trip overland by car. The band will get $500 for the trip, which will be divided among the band boys. There will be no band concert next week on this account. The band will look after itself entirely while it is away. It will take four tents along and live in them. Three women who belong to the band will do the cooking for them. This is going to be a fine outing for the band boys and for others that may want to go with them. Glenwood should be proud of the fact that the band was chosen in competition with four other bands.

Henry T. Ronning has been appointed U.S. Senator Henrik Shipstead’s private secretary. Mr. Ronning has already sold his law library and turned over his practice in the Webster block to Mr. Herman Zander of Alexandria and he will leave for Washington sometime in November. He has also sold his residence and his family will move to Washington the latter part of the present month in order to be there by the time school opens.

Limperich and Son have a new sign outside of their place of business in the basement of the First National Bank. It is a very neat and attractive one and deserves special mention especially because it is a homemade one. The frame was made by a local carpenter and the lettering was done by Francis Hughes. It advertises radio equipment, electric supplies, Edison Mazda lamps.

The Starbuck Band went to Morris Monday evening and gave a concert in the band stand at the City Park. A large number had gathered to hear the concert and they were very enthusiastic in their applause. The Starbuck Quartette sang two selections which made a great hit. Afterwards the Quartet went down to the Strad theater and sang where they were again received with enthusiasm.
