would be well for our citizens to be especi-

LINE UP.
.BINA'S.

Referee, buCnanan, umpire, RlChard-
son; Time keepers, St. Thomas, Thomp-
son; Pembina, Aylen: Time of halves,
rs minutes.
The score which we enormously gave
last week as 10 to 0, was to 1Oin favor
of St Thomas.
The Pembina team claim that the first
touchdown for St. Thomas made by
Grandy, that he was forced over the line,
but as that corner was occupied by St.
Thomas rooters, and through the referee,
Buchanan's evident desire for the St.
Thomas boys to win, that the decision
was given in favor of St. Thomas. The
referee at this time also, himself instruct
ed the St. Thomas team as to their proper
positions to make the kick and CATCH
Time to the first touchdown 4 minutes.
After another hard tussle with ball al
ternately in both territories, McCafery
put the ball between goal posts and Con-
my failed to kick. Score 5-5, time 10
minutes. In the rest of the time the ball
got to the 20 yard line of St. Thomas,
and an off-slde was claimed by Pembina,
but again the decision was against them
and time was called in the midst of the
dispute.
In the second-half, LaMoure and Nc
Cafery were sent to St. Thomas 3 yard
line. The referee, penalized the Penn
bina's for 10 yards for off-side, but in
spite OF this LaMoure made the touch
down though Conmy failed the kick.
Score, Pembina 10; Saints 5. sa5i

and the excited and vigorous assistance
of the referee got the ball on Pembina's
three yard line. Time was called and
the Pembina's lett the line victorious.
The referee, however, figured that there
was yet minute and a half Of play.
The Pembina's with defeat staring
them in the face, submitted, and went
back to finish according to the referee.
But even then, st. Thomas would not
have succeeded if McCaf1ery had not
been held firmly by St. Thomas player,
so Grandy got the touchdown and Rich.
mond made the kick. Score II to 10 for
st. Thomas.
NOTES.
The Pembina team in their criticism oil
the referee, do not in any way include
the personnel of the st. Thomas team.
The St. Thomas boys are all right and
good players, and the most friendly feel
ing exists between the two teams.
St. Thomas people are splendid root
ers. and give their boys ample financial
support as we'll. Though the grounds
are not enclosed the receipts OF the game
covered the expenses.
Sanity rooters, especially the High
School chorus. are all right. Sondie
knows. Chick Conmy and McCaffery-
were hurried some-and the latter knows
the advantage OF a rubber.neck.
Where hospitality was so general and
kindly. it would seem almost ungrateful
to say it was not unanimous, and yet a
few, very few, were marked exceptions.
The conduct of these, was apparent to
the citizens of St. Thomas, who very
generally expressed their regret and in
dignation to Our boys.
Thursday evening the Pembina team
were the guests of ex-collector A. M.
OConnor, formerly of Pembina, at R.
c. Church concert, which was greatly en-
,joyed. Mr.. .O'Connor can play on the
Pembina team any old time he likes,

The tax sale on Tuesday was we'll at
tended, a good many people from other
county towns and other places being
present. The number buying for invest
ment was larger than usual, though not
as agreeable as usual, owing to competi-
ton between the bidders. The bids
were made on basis of interest to be
paid on the taxes, and while some went
at the legal rate, "a per cent, great
deal went a; much lower rates, getting
down as low as three per cent in some
cases. Most of the competitive bids
went at 7 and 8 however. The result of
this is that those taxpayers, who. through
lack of means or other reason have failed
to pay their taxes, will have only low
rate of interest, in most cases, to pay
when they redeem. Register Chisholm
is blamed as the disturbing element in
this years sale among the bidders as he
started and kept up the competition deal.
and the taxpayers can blame him, or 9TH
erwise as they feel aboutit; probably two
thirds of the lands we're paid up before
the sale day.

On Saturday, w. E. West shot Frank
March in Hotel Dacotah, Grand Forks,
and March died Sunday. West is the
representative of a St. Paul land man,
March was travelling salesman for boot
and shoe firm. The latter was especially
wel.known as base ball umpire for the
N. D. league last season. They had been
good friends until the last ten days. The
difficulty between them has not yet be-
came known. West was in the Prescott
reading paper, March came in, made
some insulting remarks about West to a
companion. West left and went to the
Hotel Dacotah. March afterwards fol-
lowed him there, and going up to West
asked him if hehad gun. West replied,
mo" March struck him knocking him
down, then attempted to strike him while
on the floor. About this time March
was pulled back by bystanders, then
West arose and pulling his revolver,
shot March through the bowels. West
was bound over to the district court on
charge of murder. Popular feeling is
with West, who is a single man of good
habits. March was personally popular
among his acquaintance and has wife
and child. He resided in Grand Forks.
The whole affair is greatly deplored.

CHAPTER XIII.

D~IME now seemed to quicken it's
fight. Events trod on the
heels Of events in scramble
and hurry of occurrence. Dis
Indignation of institutions, en-
terprises and associations, public and
social. appeared everywhere like cor
roding disease, and decentralization was
the rankest of growths. Secession, CIV
IL war, suspension Of industries, gath
erings and departures of volunteers.
dissensions and suspicious, dread Of
the negro-dumb cause of contention
gave somber color to the life of fair
Avoyelles.
The first banner flung to the breeze
was the flag of France, hoisted bv
Quillebert over his dwelling, thus
warning both factions that molestation
of him or his would be at the peril of
his imperial masters displeasure.
Oakfell was instant to take his stand.
Though MISUNDERSTANDING negro slav-
cry he was welded to the doctrine of
state sovereignty and in it's defense
:buckled on his sword. He was chosen
lieutenant of the company of horse or

'Honore Victor Tailleur, whom Pratt

From his gloomy reflection he was re-
called by the voice of Leon at the door,
saying:
''Mr. Horace, are you sick? Is any
thing wrongY'
Yes; never was so sick as now, and
something has gone wrong. Leon, the
supreme court has adjudged you
slave, the slave of Quillebert."
20 merciful Godv Leon groaned,
clutching a chair for support. "Save
me from that man, Mr.. Horace, or kill
mev'
"save yourself. Take a good horse
from the stable and fly for your life.
Never stop until you are where that
human wolf cannot reach YOU. The
cursed news may not be known to any
one else in the parish for two days yet,
and, if so, you will have that much
start. Take this and TO-" Oakfell
gave him sum Of money.
"Some day will prove am grateful
for all your goodness, sir,' said the
soor fellow, retreating from the door.
soon the muff1ed sound of horse speed
ing over the dusty road was heard, and
Leon was again runaway slave.
The newspapers of the city arrived
two days later, bringing the intelli-
gence Of the supreme courts ruling,
with editorial remarks commencing it
as timely check to abolitionist propa-
ganda. Great was the rejoicing on the
highlands. The cabarets had day of
business recalling that of the trial.

jeans lips and eyes were beyond con-

the hot rum had stilled his tongue.
Oakfell assembled his friends and.
explaining that the decision could be
used as an effective weapon against
him in the convention, requested their
leave to withdraw his candidacy. Aft
err much discussion the business Of his
view was conceded. and the consent he
desired was given A formal note was
received from Pratjean demanding the
return to his client Quillebert Of the
slave Leon. who, the writer said, was
harbored by Oakfell. It was consigned
to the flames. A little letter came
through the local post saying, II suffer

cause you suffer and through my fault"
This was not consigned to the flames.
The result of the litigation was a Sc
we're shock to the young lawyer. His
confidence in his fellow men was weak
ened. He lost respect for authorities.
Ambitions seemed but snares to peace
of mind. Wrong, chicanery and cruel
ty appeared essential to success. His

much affection. could not or did not
cheer his dropping spirit The time
