Death of a Good Old Man.

Elmer Huggard, for many years a
we'll known and esteemed resident of
town of Warrenton, this county,
died August 16, 1901, at Iroquois,
Ontario, at the advanced age of
past ninety years.
Deceased was born in Ireland,
March II, 1911. At an early age he
came to Canada, where he continued
to reside until 1882, when he moved
to Minnesota, locating on a choice
piece of land in town Of Warrenton,
where he made his home until a year
ago last fall, when he returned to
the scene of his early struggles in
Canada, to visit with two daugh-
ters and a son still remaining there.
Deceased was the father of Mr..
James 81. Huggard, Mr.. John Hug
gard, and Mrs. James Quirk, of this
city or vicinity. Another daughter,
Mrs. c. W. Brown, died number of

Runaway Teams.

A runaway is one of those accidents
thatIeyery one who makes practice
OF driving horses should be very care
ful 70 guard against. It is not only
the danger OF injury, more or less Sc
vere, to the occupants of the vehicle,
but when horse once finds that ne
can take the bit in his teeth and be
Tree rom the control of the driver.
he becomes very unsafe and is practi-
caliy ruined for the service for which
horses are intended. Nor is the dan
ger confined to the occupants OF tho
vehicle. A team that has started on
a mad run loses all fear or respect
for mman beings and will notswerve
from their path to keep from running
them down, and one often hears Of
Children and even men and women
beingrun oyer and killed by run-a-
WAY team. When people are driving
nothing should SO occupy their
attention as to cause them to lose
control of their horses for an instant.
They should always keep the lines in
their hands, no matter if the horses
are gentle and have never been
known to run away. There are more
run-'aways caused by this careless
driving than from the fact that the
horses are naturally vicious. Ifyou
keep the lines in your hands and pay
attention to your driving there are
very lew teams that will be able to
get from under control as long as
the lines remain intact. OF course
there are occasions when it is ard to
follow this advice. When a young fel-
low has pretty girl in the seat be-
side him, whose bewitching smiles
claim his devoted attention, Dame
Caution is liable to get Jealous and
leave them to their fate,, and the
team take the running of the buggy
into their own hands. Then the
chances are there will be walk along
the dusty country roads, if nothing
more serious, and the young man
Wlllhave buggy that must go to
the shop, and a team that has a
record as run-aYays.

Base Ball Last Thursday.

. Last Thursday was day of inter
est IN Warren. Besides the Gun clubs
tournament our citizens were treated
TO pretty interesting game of ball
between the Stephen and Warren Sec
ond mines. The two games at Step
hen the fore part of the week had put
both teams on their mettle anditwas
an easy bet that everybody was go
ing to play ball for blood. The
game was called at ? O'Clock p. IN and
the visitors went to bat first and sue
ceeded in starting the interest by get
ting two men on bases where thev
died. When our boys came to bat they
thought they had a snap and made
the fans join in their confidence by
piling up a bunch of five before they
had to go back to the farm. Here
again they had it pretty much their
own way and put three goose eggs
IN a row On the Stephen side of the
score card. At the bat they contin-
ued to do business till five more
scores were marked to their credit.
and they let the other fellows have a
try at it with a smile that thev
could not conceal. But alas, this
bright dream was their last For
the Stephenites switched the deal.
and went to doing a little business
themselves. After this things got
more evenly balanced and when the
last man was out in the ninth inning
It was found that they had balanced
up SO we'll that another inning was
necessary to decide the winner. This
was also a tie. Then the boys from
up the line got a little hot under the
collar and in order to make sure shut
Warren out and lined up two scores
for themselves.
The game was not noted for it's
brilliant plays nor will it 90 down in
history as a fine exhibition of the ma
tional game, but the fun was fast
and furious and both players and
spectators enjoyed themselves thor
oughly. The result was 10 to 81 in
favor of Stephen.

Boss Platt Repudiates Roosevelt.
:ial correspondence to the SHEAF,

Special correspondence to the SHEAF
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 16, 1901.
1t is learned on good authority
that Senator Boss Platt, of New
York, is avowedly opposed to Colo
mel Roosevelt as candidate for presi-
dent in 1904.
Theodore Roosevelt, of Rough
Rider fame, has always been thorn
IN the way Of Mr.. Platt and his ma
chine. He wants a man whom he
can handle to his own corrupt ways.
Mr.. Roosevelt refuses to act and
think according to the dictates of
second party. The result is that
''Teddy' has been repudiated by the
New York state ring.
Mr.. Odell, a less brainy man and
apparently more pliable character
than the Vice-president, is slated bv
Senator Platt as New York's favorite
son.
The country a. go :A:@..,s other
wise however. The republicans of
New England, led by Senators Lodge
and Frye, OF the South and West,
are solidly for the author of 1.-The
Winning of the Vest
Mr.. Roosevelt is recognized as a.
type of modern manhood. He is a.
type called Twentieth Century Amer
lean.
Mr.. David B. Hill at the present
time is the most promising candi-
date for the democratic nomination
and these two New Workers would be
able to match each other, steel with
steel. The ex-senator from New
York is fast building up an organiza-
tion in the South Roosevelt is fol-
lowing suit, although he is wisely
keeping himself in the background.
The time has come when it is for
the people of the South and West
and North to decide who shall domi-
nate the republican convention of
19O4-the New York State ring or
the virile and strong young men
of the country.

Number So

years ago. Many Warren people
will long remember the fine old gen
tleman, with the kind and manly
lace and courtly bearing. None knew
him but to love him and respect him.
Now that he has finished his earthly
career, which was much longer than
that or the average man, and gone
to his eternal rest, we can offer the
sorrowing members of the family
but this consolation, that the sepa-
ration is but for season, and that
he whosgained the victory over the
grave can unite the loved ones of
earth in that land where there are
no partings, no old age and no in
firmities.

THE SHOOTING TOURNAMENT
The Local Gun Club Gives its First
Tournament Last Thursday.


The local gun club held it's first
annual tournament at the grounds
in the north part OF the city last
Thursday. The day was as fine as
could be desired for the purpose.
The sky was clear as crystal and the
wind had died down to a refreshing
breese. In fact it looks as if the
.nimrods are the only local sports
that really have a good standing
with the weather clerk this year.
The committee on arrangements
had worked with a will and before
the train arrived from the south
with it's delegation of Crookston
shootists, they had the traps in
working order, large tent erected
to protect them from the sun and
we're in complete readiness to carry
out the days program.
Alarge number Of people were pres
ent from all the parts of the county,
both as participants in the tourna-
ment and as spectators. ~.
The program was made up of ten
events and in each event there was a
valuable prize donated by some OF
the merchants of our city.
When the draw was made the
boys lined up as follows: r
1st squad-Clark, Koppang, Rus
sell and Lee.
2nd squad-Carr, Powell, Day,
Whitaker and Farrell. ..
3rd squad-Getty, Withey, Miller,
Knapp and Winchester.
The following is the score for the
ten events:

The last event was for the cham
pionship of Marshall county and
only Marshall county shooters were
permitted to enter. This was a
twenty-five bird event and the
shooting was very close in the first
round. Day and Whitaker tied with
score of eighteen each, and in try
ing to decide the tie, succeeded in
breaking seventeen each. This neces-
STATED another try and W. s. Day
succeeded in winning with score
of nineteen.
The tournament passed off as
pleasantly as could be desired, not
hitch marring the good feeling that
prevailed among the contestants.
DR.. W. 81. Winchester acted as off
cial score keeper and Ed Bennewitz
as referee.
Several ladies and gentlemen were
present with their kodaks and sue
ceeded in getting some very good
pictures Of the contestants, some Of
which we expect to reproduce in the
SHEAF in the near future.

RuMoRs OF TROUBLE.

1t has been noted as an exception to
the rule, that change in the govern
ment Of Afghanistan took place, with
out internal strife in that country. But
there are rumors now to the effect that
claimant to the throne has appeared.
He is said to be Ayub Khan. younger
son of former ameer, who led power
full mountain tribes in revolt in 1881.
His followers were then routed by Brit
lsh troops and he was made a prisoner.
II is rumored that he Is once more free,
and probably will foment trouble.
The report is from Calcutta and may,
or may not, be founded on facts. But
It is certain that Russian policy gen.
orally is to encourage trouble in small
nelghboring states. so as TO have an
excuse for sending troops over the
border. whenever that proceeding shall
seem expedient. And therefore II can
not be considered improbable that
Ayub Khan at this time has succeeded
In escaping captivity, nor that he is at
work for the furtherance Of his per-
sonal interests.
The new Ameer is said to have asked
the Indic- s :. :. -. 70. 80 field
guns. He must anticipate trouble from
some source. The world Is interested
in the happenings Of that far-away
country, Notwithstanding its inslgnifi-
canoe, because across It the Bear and the
Lion are closely watching one another.
and no one can tell when the condi-
tons will become such, that the two

will ind themselves involved in serl-

an excellent building site for a meet
