WiIlmar Victorious,

A football game was played at the
ball park on Thursday afternoon be-
tween the Willmar and Litchfeld
elevens. The weather was rather
chilly, so the crowd that turned out to
watch the game was not as large as it
might have been. At first fears we're
entertained that the home team was
not in practice and that the Litchfeld
team would have to have q stenogra-
pher to take down the score, but after
the game had commenced it was not
long before it became evident that the
Willmar lads had it all to themselves.
1t made no differerc ce in what part of
the line the Litchfield players At
tempted to break through, they were
always put back, and they even failed
to make their first "down." Whether
their failure to do so is to be attri.
buted to too heavy Thanksgiving
dinner, to The cold weather, or to in
ferior skill, is something yet to be de-
termined, but one thing is sure, the
Litch6eld team wasn't sin it" and the
score was 21 to 0, in favor of Willmar.
TIE fo,iowing'was " VNiitfmar' s lineup:
Ferd Rig, right end; John Ekapder,
right tackle; Peter Person, right guard;
Arthur Harris, center; Jacob Nelson,
left guard; George Hanscom, left
tackle; Lewis Larson, left end; Chas
A. Nelson, quarter back; Clarence
Will amson, left half; G. G. Brough-
ton, right half; Ludwig Glarum, full
back
Fred Larson umpired the game,
George Tyler was referee and Walter
Crosby offi,iated as timekeeper.

! SUIT COMMENCED
CITY Takes Action Against Ex-clty
Clovk to Recover Part Of
ShortaRo.

cI0sk to Recover Part OF
Shortage.
Papers were filed yesterday in suit
instituted by the city of Willmar
against Samuel Osmundsou, former
city clerk, and A. J. Akander and Ole
Barnstad, sureties on his bond, to
recover the amount of the shortage in
Osmundson's accounts. It will be re-
membered that Expert Donaldson
found a shortage of. something over
$5, 900, but as the period covered by
the examination was, four years and
the bondsmen were liable for only
81, 600 each year, the total amount
sued for is only $4,000. The papers
will be served on the parties today.
Hon. F. T. Young, of Appleton, has
been retained to assist the city attor-
ney IinV the suit. Hon. Lyndon A.
Smith, ofsMontevideo, and Geo. Null
Ter, of this place, have been retained
by the defendants. The case will

Coal Ashes as Fuel,

That coal ashes can be made to
serve as fuel has been clearly demon
strated by the number here who have
tried the experiment The Gazette
Reporter has been operating a coal
stove for three weeks now and has
burned all the ashes from the coal
used, and that the ashes are actually
burned is proven by the fact that not
shovel full has been thrown away
and the stove never has more ashes
in the fire box than comes from the
fresh coal that is added from time to
time. Wet down your ashes and try
it. It will cost you nothing.-Wheat-
