ranch four miles east of Williston, and
for the next two or three weeks our
<readers may look for a dearth of local
news in It's columns, unless some kind
friends hand IN what items of interest
may fall under their observation. 1t is
impossible for US to be in the city and
ION the prairie at the same time, and
while we are ont Of town many little
~episodes may occur which are likely to
escape our notice. Don't blame us if
the Graphic is "drv" for awhile.
The Wiliston Athletes went to Minot
last Sunday ostensib)y for the purpose Of
rshowing Minot how to play base ball.
There was a large and enthusiastic
crowd in attendance. and the game was
splayed. but resulted very disastrously
for Williston. The Minot players were
not Minot men, every one of the nine
engaged in the game being professionals
hired for the occasion, while the Will
sliston Athletes consisted of business
rmen and ranchers. The score stood,
Minot, II; Williston, won.
