The h me team made good after
it's defeat by Appleton by defeating
a picked team of Browns Valley,
Graceville, Ortonville, Chokio and
Clinton players at Chokio on the fol
lowing day by the decisive score of
Z to 1. The game was the chief at
traction of the Chokio carnival and
was played for purse of 1926.
The Morris team had been thru a
hard game on Monday and had fin
ished long, cold, forty. mile drive
just before the game, but it didn't
seem to bother them in the least.
They went into the game with dash
anu vim that was surprising under
the circumstances and won for them
the hearty support of the crowd.
The game was never in doubt.
Brown, backed up by elegant sup
port. pitched another of his mastery
games and the home team got hits
whenever they were needed. The
victory is the more pleasing to
the boys because, in the Clinton
pitcher, Houch, they were up against
the Hamline Varsity standby

MORRIS BALL TEAM PLAY LIKE
WINNERS.
In Hard Fought Game at Appleton,
Morris Loses by 3 to 2 but Win
Out by 7 to 1 Against a Picked
Team at Chokio.

The Morris base ball team of 1903
played their first games away from
home last Monday and Tuesday.
Altho they lost the first game with
Appleton by the score of 8 and 2,
they played very fast game of ball
and their good work goes to show
that Morris contains some very good
base ball material. This material, if
properly managed and sufficiently
backed by the toAn, will be able, be-
fore the end of the season, to meet
and defeat any strictly home team in
western Minnesota.
The game at Appleton began with
Morris at the bat. They failed to
score in the first inning. Appleton
secured one score in the first
and also one in the second in
ming. The Morris half of the second
inning O'Brien went to first base on
an error; Stone and Clarke each
struck out O'Brien stole secon and
third. Brown secured base on
balls. With two men on bases and
two out, Nilsson stepped to the plate
and knocked out pretty single into
left field, scoring both Brown and
.O'Brien. Nilsson was caught trying
to steal second. With the score 2
and 2 in the third inning neither
scored again until the eighth, when
Appleton ch?lked up one run which
proved 10 be the winning one.
Morris had no trouble in getting
men on first base but they could get
no further. In attempting to steal
second base they were caught bv the
accurate throwing of Appleton's
catcher. Kinks throwing to second
aided greatly in winning the game
for Appleton and was certainly the
shining feature Of the game,

DEATH OF LEVI TORPEY.
Well Known Young Man Dies in
Minneapolis.

The announcement last Saturday
evening Of the death of Levi Torpey
in Minneapolis was severe shock to
his many friends here, as it had been
supposed that he was on the road to
recovery from the attack of pneu-
monia, from which he lad been suf
fering for nearly month. His
mother and his sister, Agnes, were
present wh5n the end came.
The remains we're brought to Nor
ris on the Sunday night train and
we're escorted from the depot to the
parental home by large number of
Pythians, Woodmen and Workmen,
of which lodges the deceased was a
member.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
and was attended by the lodges of
which the deceased was member,
besides the many other friends. The
service was conducted by Rev. F. IL.
Richardson. The pail bearers were
F. A. Hancock, F. E. Ware, II. 0.
Eames, Nels Olson, D. w. SteIbins
and NJ. B. Lord. The Uniform RAM
of the Knights of Pythias acted as
escort for the casket, and a large
number of the members of the other
lodges were also in line. Beautiful
floral offerings from the lodges and
other friends testified to thu high
esteem in which the deceased was
held.
Levi Torpey was born in Morris
Jan. 81, 1872, and has lived here ali
his life except during the past year.
He was among the early graduates Of
the Morris high school, and after
completing that course took bust.
ness course, which admirably fitted
him for the positions which he held
here as bookkeeper, He was for
many years in the employ of S.
Stewart, but for the past year has
been employed by Winston, Harper,
Fisher Co., Of Minneapolis, where he
met with the same suce ess in endear-
ing himself to his employers both for
his admirable personal qualities and
for his proficiency in his work. That
he should have been cut off in his
young manhood is particularly sad
and the people of the community ex-
tend sympathy to the sorrowing rela-
tives because they themselves mourn
his loss as friend.

"Oliver w. Stewart created de-

give considerable space to this new
factor in Illinois politics. Old war
horses were amazed at the ability and
courage of the young orator. 1t was
the day when candidates for United
States senator for Illinois were pre-
sented by the representative party
Leu ders. Oliver w. Stewart, the only
Prohibition member, presented Hon.
John G.. Wooley, of Chicago, as the
candidate of the prohibition party.
For forty-fve minutes he eltrctrifed
the vast audience that had congre-
gated. The galleries were jammed
Many prominent men of the state
were there. They were amazed and
yet delighted with the stranger who
made great speech"

AS THE SUN
SEES THINGS

Chas. E. Snuff, who murdered
Eugene Klien at Mace, Nov. II,
1901, secured a verdict of murder
in the second degree from Jury of
the district court last week. His
first trial sent him to the ga11ows,
but technical supreme court took
the moose from his guilty neck.
According to his own story on the
witness stand he committed willful
murder. He went deliberately
with rife, to Klien's Office at the
Standard, and because he could
not get cash instead of a pay check
shot the old gentleman dead as he
tried to escape from the Office.
Shuts only excuse was that he
thought the office was ''loaded with
dynamite" and that he would be
blown up. This fimsy excuse and
the more f1imsy one of insanity, set
up by his relatives, saved him from
reaffirmation of the first verdict.
Another appeal to the present SUI.
preme court may secure his abso-
lutte acquittal.
We are inclined to believe in the
theory of Justice Brewer of the SUI
preme court of the United States
that no appeal should be allowed in
criminal cases from the verdict aud
Judgment of a district court. Here
wos man convicted of foul muir
der, to be hung. Because of the
peculiar phraseology of two in
structions to the jury on insanity,
purely technical, the man was
granted a new trial, and the peo-
pie burdened with an enormous
expense. Before the second trial,
also, an important witness had died.
There was no denial of the deed,
or that the prisoner did not have a
cool, dispassionate trial.. months
after the commission of the crime.
Nothing was brought forward to
show that the condemned man did
not have all the rights in court
guaranteed to him, yet he was
granted a new trial on appeal. Tus-
tice Brewer takes strong grounds
against such appeals, and his views
may have to be adopted to curb the
spirit of murder that now aflicts
society throughout the Union. It
is perhaps the only remedy for mob
law. The people are losing their
faith in state supreme courts

the qualification being that the cream
will reach a certain per cent In quail

Rural Delivery Is Pleasing to Pa
irons.


For nearly two years Dickinson
county has had rural delivery. 10
the time during which the routes
have been operating the people have
had chance to learn whole lot
about them that could not have been
learned any other way than to see
them In operation.
From all that can be learned, the
people are we'll pleased with the SER
vice and would In no case consent to
have II discontinued. They say that
now they have become accustomed to
having their mail every day and
would not know what to do with
out 1t.
The carriers all like their work
well and seem contented with 1t.
While they have received a raise in
salary since these routes first began
to operate, the amount paid is yet
not high enough when it is remem-
bered what an expense 1t Is to keep .
team and take good care Of 1t.
While everybody has appreciated
the service, 1t is safe to say that the
amount Of business done for the next
twelve months will be much greater
than for the past twelve months ow-
ing to the fact that all the people did
not begin to use the daily mail at
once. as they could have done II 1t
had been better understood.
