Last Thursday evening it looked
very much as though we we're going
to have terrible thunder storm, but
itpassed off in the west without any
damage done here. West of here, near
Beardsley, barn belonging to Joe
Branche was struck by lightning and
the building together with thous-
and bushels of grain and several head
of stock we're consumed, which was
almost total loss as he only carried
$500 insurance. Another barn was
struck in the same neighborhood and
burned with several head ofcattle and
horses.

The last potato crop was a large
one, not only in acreage but in yield,
with the result that prices we're so low
that the grower was not compensated
for harvesting. This season a general
feeling of disgust prevails, and the
acreage will be small, and reasonable
prospects are for good prices. The
man who has potatoes to sell this fall
is reasonably certain of good prices,
for such yields as last year are rare,
Potatoes are remunerative at Is cents
a bushel and seasons are more nu-
merous when the price is above than
below that figure. 1t is about as
good paying a crop as is grown.
Therefore, don't make the mistake to
not have potato patch this fall

Our genial friend and eminent reg
lister Of deeds, Ed Lehman, expert
enced some hearbreadth escapes last
week, but luckily escaped with a few
bruises and skinned shins. Instead
of buying a bicycle and taking
chances on header, he purchased of
Mr.. Wunch his beautiful span of
sorrels. The horses apparently did
not take kindly to their new driver,
for the first time Mr.. Lehman hitched
them up they proceeded to scatter
him by the roadside and make kind
ling wood of his buggy. In getting
tossed out he got tangled up in the
reins and dragged quite distance,
and if he had not been born under a
lucky star he would not have escaped
so easy. He triedit over again the
next day and succeeded in smashing
another buggy nd now the only con-
ISOLATION Ed has is that he has large
stock of kindling wood on hand.

Mr.. Dybdal arrived in town this

ready for business about the first of
next week. They will occupy the
First National bank building. The
firm of Thorson & Raiter are we'll
known throughout the state and con-
sidered among the most reliable
bankers in the Northwest. Morris
is exceedingly lucky in securing such
substantial bank to fill the vacancy
caused by the failure of the First
National.

Base Ball.

| The base ball season opened here
last Saturday when an aggregation,
Ipurporting to be the Benson high
school nine, came up here and were
pitted against another aggregation
supposed to be the Morris high
school, but the facts of it was that
the patches in both mines were so
easily discernible that it was not
necessary even to call in use the
X rays. A large crowd (nit) gathered
at the Park to see the farce carried
out. The Benson boys put upxa
good game, and especially by the
would-be high school boys that we're
in the club, and the same might be
said of the horne nine, although the
home team was far the rottenest of
the two, The game was lost by the
wild throwing done in the in-feld.
Taken all together the playing of
both teams might have been credit
to lot of six-year-olds, but still it is
doubtful. Mr.. Murphy of Clontarf,
who umpired the game was the
squarest umpire ever on the Morris
grounds. A return game Will be
played at Benson on May 80. The
following is the score:
12 8 a 6 9
Morris 0 0 0 1 0 6 1 0-S
Benson 40 0 0 10 8 Gil
Hits, Morris s, Benson 8. Struck out by

Hatleled, Thorton 6, base on balls IL.
Next Saturday the Morris. first nine
goes to Herman to participate in the
celebration of Norway's Indepen-
dence. They will play match
game with Elbow Lake.
Last Sunday quite number of our
sportive inclined went to Hancock to
witness the game between Darnen
and Tara, which resulted in favor of
Darnen by score of IL to 3. About
200 people witnessed the game.
Several of our boys went down on

BANK ROBBED IN IDAHO
Three Masked Men Boid Up the Institution
and Nj AXE a Good Haul

Denver, Colo, Aug. 13.-A special TO
the Republican from Pocatello. Idaho,
says: Word was received here this
evening from Montpelier. Idaho. that
about O'Clock this afternoon three men
in masks rode into town on horseback,
stopping in front of the Bank OF Mont
pelier. They disnounted and compell-
ed six men who were standing in front
OF the bank to go inside. Two of the
desperadoes then covered the men with
revolvers while the third went behind
the counter and emptied all the cash in
sight into three sacks. The robbers
then mounted their horses and rode out
Of town. Sheriff Davis organized posse
Of thirty men, who are in pursuit of the
robbers, thirty minutes behind. 1t is
thought they are heading for Jackson's
Hole and if they reach their capture
will be uncertain, as the Hole is known
to be filed with a gang of desperadoeS
and renegades who will resist their cap
ture. The bank officials refuse to dis
close the amount secured but it is be-
lieved to be fully $4,000.
