1000 feet Of hose. The couplings
were special cut. The hose came,
but the council refused to take it,
claiming they had countermanded
the order by means of a telegram.
Since that time there has been more

reach a settlement until today. The
council purchased 500 feet of hose at

Little Falls was beaten in it's game
OF ball with Brainerd at Long
Prairie Thursday. At the close OF
the game the score stood 4 to Ii id
favor Of Brainerd. The cause OF the
defeatscan be attributed to the fact
only three Little Falls boys played,
Carley, Terrell and Sylvester. The
other members OF the team could not
leave their work. Two Sank Centre
men and four Long Prairie men
played with the Little Falls boys.
Since the members of the team were
not acquainted with each other they
could not play good ball. Terrell
pitched an excellent game. He
struck out ten men. Benners, OF
Sank Centre, caught for Little Falls.
The boys got $s5 out of the 81
purse offered for a game. Benners
will catch for Little Falls Saturday

Hose Company No. rs race Friday
was the climax of all hose races ever
run in the city. This same company
was the winner of the hose races on
July 4. Their time then was IS sec
onds. Friday they covered the same
amount OF ground and passed
through the same requirements as
previously but did it in 6H seconds
less. Considerable practice was the
cause of the increse in speed.
4 Milaca had a remarkable bank
robbery a. few nights ago. The
town was aroused by an explosion,
and on investigation it was dis
covered that the bank vault and
safes had been shattered by some
powerful explosive. At first it was
not believed that the burglars had
been able to obtain much money
from the safes, as citizensj were on
the scene very soon after the ex-
plosion. There was 1000 in money
IN the bank, and careful search has
failed to locate more than q few
hundred dollars, 80 it is probable
that the robbers made a good haul.
AL the wreckage has not been re-
moved, SO there may be some money
yet hideen in the mass of rubbish.
