Committed to Training School.

Last Friday Justice hadbourne COM
mitted Emma Yagush to the State
training school at Red Wing. She had
been employed by Mrs. Emmett Mark
as hired girl and it appears that while
performing her domestic duties about
the Mark household she conceived the
bright idea of dealing in creamery but
ter and making little money in the
traffic. She would 60 to Walkers store
and order five or ten pound jar of
butter on Mr.. Marks account and then
she would take the butter around to
Anderson's store and sell it as dairy
butter at twenty cents a pound. In
exchange for the butter she would take
dress goods, notions, etc, and was get
ting fine lot of clothes on hand. In
the meantime Mrs. Mark came to the
conclusion that there was an awful lot
of butter being disposed of about the
household in some manner, per account
of M. Mark, and she commenced, to
make an Investigation, and It was an
easy matter to find the girl out after
getting onto her tracks. After the
case was brought in court and the girl
told what she had received for the

officers where the goods were they
were seized by Mark, and Mrs Selander
as guardian of the girl employed an
attorney to look after the goods. After
much parleying between the repre-
sentatives of justice it was decided to
let Jack Campbell, who had bought
the butter for Anderson and who knew
what the girl had received from the
store, decide what goods the girl had
received from the sale of the butter,
and this was agreed to. - .. III
The girl is sixteen years of age and
just within the limit to escape a worse
sentence than going to the training
school where she will not get hold of
butter in wholesale lots.

IT'S A GO.

Council Decides to Put the Incorporation
of a City to Vote.
The council met in adjourned session
last Monday night and cleared up some
unfinished business. The ordinance
making provisions for voting on the
new city charter was finally passed
without a dissenting vote and at the
next regular village election which
will occur on the sixth day of January,
1908, the voters of the village will vote
on the proposition whether they will
incorporate as a city under the provi-
sions of chapter of the general laws
of 1895.
Captain Galley of Company G was
present and asked the council to make
provisions for renting the opera house
through the winter for the use of the
company for drilling, as the present
quarters over the Galley Hardware
Co.'s store are not large enough. The
company used the opera house every
Monday night last winter for drilling
and Mr.. Jesmer made rental charge
of about 81 an evening, but thought
that if the weather was cold he would
have to charge S. an evening to come
out whole. The council did not think
that they could keep two halls for the
militia boys and President Armitage
was appointed committee to inquire
into the matter and make such arrange
ments as he deemed best.
F. W. Milbrath was present and got
settlement with the council which
allowed him the sum of $4,000 for the
sidewalk work that the council has
accepted, and the recorder was in-
structed to draw an order for the bal
ance due Mr.. Milbrath. ~.
II he council decideas to put up wire
fence around the village pine tract on
the north side of the river to prevent
trespassers from cutting down the trees
and carrying off the park bodily.

The Elk River and Princeton Teams

! - ..:.s ~
Game of the Season.
An Unequal rlatch--4o to in Favor
of Elk River--The Game of
Basket Ball.

OF 1OOtOall at the lair grounds last Sat
urday afternoon, when the local high
school team played an aggregation of
high school students and graduates
from Elk River. The Elk Riveriues
had a heavier team and had had more
practice. than our boys, but they did
not play any better ball. Although
Princeton only got her fingers on the
pigskin twice throughout the entire
two halves and was forced to play on
the defensive and losing game from
the start, yet it was the pluckiest kind
of playing Not one of the Princeton
men failed to do his duty. Every one
of them stood the pounding of their
line manfully. About the middle OF
the second half Will Sausser took
George Smiths place. -@..,-. - :
The game was very monotonous
one, and it was continual skirmish,
the Elk River team rushing the ball
into Elk Rivers territory and never
failing to make the gains required to
keep the ball. Once they tried to
kick the goal from the field but failed.
Mont Woodcock's tackling and Roy
Farnham's kicking deserve special
mention. Not once did Woodcock
make foul tackle, and man that
came any whore near him was sure to
go down. If he keeps on he has the
stuff in him for first-class player.
Farnham's kicks startled : the Elk
Riverites, and when he went to kick
there was noticeable spreading back
of the line. He did some good work
at tackling. -.. -.-.~.s.. =
Though Princeton lost 40 to @ We,
she put up game she need not be
ashamed of. That is not such bad
score for players in their first game
when we remember that Grinnell los,
to Minnesota 102 too. 81 =
E. L. Ward acted as referee and
Prof. White as umpire. E. W, Kali.
her and Roy Mcfarland were line men
and Fred Burrell and Harold Dewing
time keepers.
There were good many rooters and
friends of the Elk River boys came ur
| with them, and there were twenty-five
in the party. In the evening the
Princeton boys entertained the Elk
River party at the G. A. r. hall.
The Elk River team will average
over $50 pounds in weight, while the
Princeton boys will not go over 1870
and in weight alone our boys were
clearly outclassed. Then there wa:
Quincy the Elk River full back, he Of
other days at foot ball, who did not be-
long in the game under the circum
stances. The Princeton team has moi
yet made up it's mind what it will do ir
the future, but Prof. White says that
he will not have the boys outclasse6
again as they were last Saturday. Il
is said that the second high schoo,
team of St. Cloud wants to play the
boys on Thanksgiving day. Some o.
the boys are inclined to give up, but
this is the wrong thing to do. Try an6

enough to make many stiff old bones

Of the party leaders who oppose any

rash declaration by explaining that they
are for tariff revision but that It will not
be practicable to revise the tariff at the
