Langdon Ball Team Decide to Forfeit Their

Harvest and threshing are now in full

the advisability Of disbanding. Hills

league we'll satisfied that the Lapgdon
ball team has made sufficiently good
showing in games played with the
leaders that warrant the assertion that
had our nine been picked out and
organized earlier in theseason its chances
of winning the pennant would have
equalled that Of any of the teams now
left to struggle for the victory. Lang
don promoters of the national game are
able to say that the local association
retires for the season without the
financial embarrassment other league
clubs in the state already complain of
and our town can safely be counted on
to be in the game with one of the fastest
going teams on the circuit next year.
So much for the 1901 obituary OF Lang

Ball Players Given Farewell Demonstration
by Enthusiastic Admirers.
Manager Champine and whole crowd
otLangdon "fans," gave the departing
ball players as hearty and enthusiastic
farewell Monday afternoon as could be-
wished for. The boys, during acouple Of
months stay in the city, have made
friends and become quite generally
acquainted with all our people. The nine
individually and collectively have shown
themselves to be gentlemen, there was
nothing that ssvored of the rowdy tramp
ball player IN any of the boys that wore
the uniform OF the Langdon ball club
this year and We hope that next year the
management may be fortunate enough
to secure players of as high standard.
Halt dozen Of the boys were here earn
ing pocket money during college vaca-
tion and return with the opening of the
fall term. Catcher >Conwell has an offer
to wind-up the season with Fargo; our
left handed pitcher Brenna went through
to DEBORAH, H., to fill an engagement.
Tucker, the promising first basemas, has
missionary work on the diamond at his
home town down in Minnesota; Allie
Berg, has been spotted by three or four
North Dakota league clubs for next
season, but won't sign with any until
he has heard from Manager Champine.
The other Burgh, whose good work in the
left field was only equalled by Little Fitz'
.'pretty work" IN the right garden, pulled
down sky scrapers in way that always
gained for him the glad hand of all who
wore Langdon's colors on the grand
stand. The balance of our oil star
aggregation, Plymot, "Don" Cameron
"Bill" Kennedy and johnson had all the
speed to make fast game at critical
times when it took .homer" or bender
with neck tie curve to win the game.
LanRdon has had its ups as we'll as it's
downs on the diamond this season and
the least that can be said is that we have
seen the national game played this sea-
son in a way that was never anticipated.
Everyone Of tho boys who wore the Lang
don colors in 1901 have our best wishes
for the future.

this point being finally reached ended
the work of the jury, and their verdict,
handed in after being out exactly two
hours and ten minutes, drew the curtain
on the last act of this great trial.
The arrest of judgment was secured
By the defense filing a molten in which
they contend that the information upon
which Barry was tried s'did not set up
sufficient grounds to constitute public
offense." This was done to get breath
ing spell, and to keep Barry out OF the
state prison a few days longer, during
which counsel can decide what is to be
done.
The defense will, if they discover any
flaw in the information, argue that it
be set aside.
If they fail to accomplish this. they
will then ask for time in which to file q
motion for q new trial. They will
probab ly be granted 80 or 80 days, and
within that time the motion will be
made. Judge Kneeshaw will then hear
arguments on the motion, and will
probably deny a new trial. Then the
only recourse will be the supreme court,
which eannQt be reached until April.

Barry on Jan. 8 left at the Milton bank
for safe keeping and which have been
tied up ever since, were released today,
copies being made and substituted for

been obliged to borrow money to pay
the expenses OF his trial, and he was
very much pleased to get hold OF the
notes, which he can make good use Of.

TO BE SENTENCED TUESDAY.
His Attorneys Looking for Technical Legal
Errors on Which to Base an Appeal to
the State Supreme Court--Barry Feels
That His Lawyers Should Have Done
More for Him Than They Have.

At no time since the rendering OF the
verdict has Barry taken much interest
in the desire OF his attorneys to take his
case to higher court in an attempt to
set aside the verdict the jury brought in
against him last Thursday evening.
His friends have been advising him
that the step would mean an immense
outlay OF money with but slim chances
OF setting aside the original verdict.
What will be done by his counsel when
Barry is brought up for sentence at two
O'Clock next Tuesday, afternoon is OF
course mere conjecture.
When court opened at ten O'Clock
Friday morning the counsel for Barry
made the formal motion for new trial
and secured an arrest of judgment. It
was stipulated that the motion be
argued on August 9th, and that the
defendant would not be sentenced until
the motion was passed upon. Court
then adjourned.
1t is understood that if Judge Knee
shaw rules against the melton an
appeal will be taken to the supreme
court, In case an order for q new trial
is issued the trial will be held in Grand
Forks, outside OF this judicial district.
After leaving the court room Friday
forenoon Barry interviewed the court
stenographer and arranged for his
counsel being furnished with a type
written manuscript of the entire testi-
mony, of which Stenographer Prince
says there ore 1900 pages in short
hand. Barry has retained his counsel
Judge Templeton, and Attorneys Bangs
and Erwin to argue the motion for q
new trial next Tuesday.

OBITUARY.

On Friday the 14th of June, the
Death-reaper, with his dark and sub
tie mantle, entered the peaceful home
of one of our most beloved and re-
Spected families and plucked from il
the pride and JOY that had so long
characterized it. Mr. J. IA. McPHER-
SON, better known as "Uncle Matt,n
was called home to live with God and
his chosen saints. A wife and four
children survive him. He was true
man in every sense of the word, doing
such things as he conScientiouSly be-
lieved to be right, while according to
every one the same right that he en-
joyed; and thus another one of the
very few landmarks that represented
the infancy of the 10Th Century has
been taken out of the cold rain and
rough winds of sinful world. His
heavy locks and feeble frame indicated
for some time the nearneSs to the l>iv-
er of Death, but he awaited the time
to cross as little child awaits its faith
er'S return. He bore his trials and
SufterlngS with such Christian reSigna-
ton as to leave great object lesson to
encourage weak Christian Journey.

man has gone He was a pillar in the
Methodist church for nearly a half
century. His home was ever open to
friend and stranger alike, and his en-
couraging, Christian influence was ev-
er ready to stimulate the depreS, ed in
spirit.
Although he had about reached his
four-Score years, his mind was clear
until the last and he knew when the
cold waters of death began to gather
around him. His remains were fol-
lowed to Mt. Pleasant Church by a
large number of Sorrowing friends,
and after appropriate burial services
by the Rev. E. w. Mason, he was
laid to rest, and his friends of two
generations covered his grave with
flowers.

n,-that with him we may have a
Joyous and sanity reunion on ReSur-
