Glencoe, Minn.-Hugh McGrann, an
early pioneer and prominent and highly
respected farmer of Sibley county,
passed to eternal rest from his home
near Green Isle on Tuesday morning of
last week, as the result of short ILL
ness. The deceased was a native of
Ireland, where he was born about 81
years ago. In boyhood he came to
America and settled on a farm near
where the village of Green Isle is now
located. This settlement occurred in
the early spring of 1857. In 1872 he was
united in marriage to Miss Maher. A
family of four sons and two daughters
was the result Of this union. The inter-
ment took place at the Green Isle
cemetery, which he with others assisted
in denuding of the heavy primeval for
est over forty years before.

thanks of all interested in the new
church.

On a Collecting Tour In the East for
the Indians.

| At their annual meeting last October
the archbishops selected seven collec-
tors to visit various parts of the United
States in behalf OF the home colored
and Indian missionary work of the
Church. Bishop Stanley Of North Da-
kota is now collecting in Philadelphia
for this purpose. In his diocese alone
there are six churches and FIVE missions
for Indians and four schools with 45o
pupils. Having been at one time pastor
OF colored congregation, he is doubly
fitted for the mission in which he is
now engaged.
He began his work by addressing the
congregations in Philadelphia, where he
still continues the work, and he met
with generous response On Sunday,
Feb. IS, he appealed to St. Charles Bor-
romeo's congregation.
The bishop referred to the immense
and as yet undcveloped territory of the
West, and what an unknown country"
it is to the average citizen of the East.
To the Philadelphia hoy who has been
accustomed to crowded streets and all
the immense traffic Of a large city, the
sparScly populated regions Of the great
West would be revelation During his
periodical visits hundreds Of miles had
been traversed by the bishop without
meeting SOUL and having for his sole
companion only a western broncho.
The bishop spoke OF his endeavor to
enlist the sympathies of the people Of
the East for his Indian charges. He
wished that his auditors could have been
with him last year, when he confirmed
over 400 Indian children. He could as
sure them that it would have been a
difficult task to puzzle any of these chill
dren in the catcchism He frequently
made it point to ask the questions
which neccssitated long answers, "such
as some OF you may have found it diff
cult to recollect," but the young 1ndi-
ans were not to be puzzled. These chill
drcn were born out on the plains in the
tcpces-tents constructed from skins or
clotll-and they had their little games,
exercises and childish "spats' even as
had their white brothers.
The Indian mother did not place her
entire belief in coaxing her child to be
good, as do the mothers OF Philadel-
phia. The palm of her hand is not so
delicate as that OF the city lady, and
when her child was unruly she put in
force a motto we'll known to school
boys, "palmam qui meruit, ferat" Qet
him who deserves the palm get it). So
her children had wholesome respect
for her and grew up in the ways OF
obedience and docility.
"You must not run away with the
idea that the Indian is the blood-thirsty
savage which the writer's for cheap and
trashy magazines evolve out of their
inner consciousness. The Indian outside
your cigar stores is more real Indian
than that creation. The Indian is hon
est by nature and firm friend; when
uncivilzed and away from the influ-
ences Of our grand religion he is what
nature makes him. He looks on the
priest and the Sister as his greatest
friends; would that it lay in their power
to do more for him!

the son Of John and Johanna Enright,

had considerable experience with cleo

fatal shock.
St. Peter, Minn-John Martin, said
to be the Oldest resident OF LIE Sueur
county, died at his home last Friday
week. He was born JUNE IA, 1901, in
the city of Dublin, Ireland. In 1841 he
was married to Miss Hannah Benson,
and in 1S48 came with his wife to the
United States and settled in Virginia,
but as smallpox was very prevalent
there he came to Iowa, where he ope-
rated blacksmith shop with much sue
cess, for number of years his principal
work being horseshoeing. In 1854 he
came to Kasota and again resumed his
trade. He remained in the village two
years, when he purchased the farm on
which he resided until his death. He
leaves surviving him his widow and
seven children, as follows: Mrs. Mary
Connolly, Henry and Julia Martin, Ka-
sofa; Thos. Martin, Slayton; Mrs. Alice

a man of superior ability in whatever he
undertook. He took much interest in
public affairs, and was a great reader

President Ban johnson Denies Report
From Chicago.
INTERVIEW Was A PURE FAKE
Brooklyn Decides to Pay Fine Inn
posed
CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

President Ban" johnson of the Ameri-
can League says the story sent out from
Chicago about his breaking the national
agreement is utterly untrue. He said:
The whole story of a resolution on the
part of the American League to make war
openly on the national agreement is a
pure fake and not worthy of the least
Credence.
Il am greatly provoked at the story,
which is altogether without founda ton and
which places me in an awkward position.
No one who knows me would believe for a
moment that l would say what was at
tributed to me in certain Chicago papers,
but the articles are harmful for the reason
that many people will believe what there
is no reason for accepting as true. l have
been a newspaper man myself, and it is
unusual for me 10 discredit what has been
printed in regard to me, but l cannot over
look this instance. l absolutely deny the
interview attributed to me. Not only was
it untrue. but l did not even consent to
talk on the subject.
Even If such a step were contemplated
| would have too much sense | trust to
give 1t out at this time. 1t has been re-
Egion with me not to say anything on the
subject of the American League circuit or
its relations with the National League,
and when l have anything to divulge on
tHe SUBJECT IL VIII De Salu TO everyone at
once and not to enc or two
1t is possible that the story was told to
bring out expression of opinion from
the National League owners or to make

Brooklyn Pays It's Fine
After making many threats as to what
they would do. it is stated in New York
that the owners of the Brooklyn Base Ball
Club yesterday abided by the recent decis-
ion of the National League by paying the
$500 imposed in the case of Wrigley. the
player. This encouragement was made by
Charles II. Ebbets, president of the club,
ana came as d surprise. inasmuch as the
Big Four had emphati declared that
unless the fine should be remitted they
would carry the case into the courts.
We decided to pay the fine said Presi-
dent Ebbets, because of adverse criti-
cisn, although knowing full well that we
were greatly wronged and unjustly fined
We are not fighting the league, nor have
we any desire to do SO. Our aim is to do all
we can toward promoting harmony. and
with that end in view We have paid the
fine.
The Brooklyn Club is in favor of an
elght-club circuit, and Its owners will meet
a circuit committee and agree on any fair
proposition for the withdrawal of the Bal
timore Club. AS yet we have received no
oher from the committee. l do not doubt
that the National League next season will
be composed of eight clubs

SUCCESS OF THE CARRoLLs.
Won Two Games and Lost to the BusI-
ness Mems Club BO1YIers

ness mems Club BOwIers.
Three games originally scheduled for last
friday. but postponed, were bowled last
night at the Business Mems Club in South
Washington. The Carroll Institute five
which was the visiting team, secured the
decision, winning a majority Of the games
and settling Itself into second place in the
District league. The Carroll five are Ger
tainly doing much better than formerly
and while their last total in Yesterdays $
games was a rank one it can be attributed
To the Old notion that there are many tn-
certaintieS in bowling. Old veteran Rice
played his steady game, and, averaging
l6o, helped very materially in the winnings
OF the G. |. German showed great un-
SteadineSs, ranging in his scores between
191 and III. Save in the first game the
teams displayed strange weakness in strike
work. Smithson deserves great credit for
his consistently strong bowling for the home
team since his support was very irregular
The first game presented one of the pret-
test contests of the seasons bowling. The
totals made by both sides were first-class
ana an element of uncertainty attended the
payers Throughout the contest. The visit
ing team was considerably in the rear at
the opening of the last frame, but secured
36 pins in the inning, settling the decision
since the home players bowed but g. Har-
low is credited with two double headers IN
his string. and played more in his old style
than he has shown for some time The
