Bismarck Defeated Grand Forks Uni
versity Team BY Score Of II
to O. e.
The Grand Forks University team
met the Bismarck team on the local
grounds last night and when they
came down from the balloon the score
was IA to O with the Grand Forks team
holding the sack. The team from the
university was badly outclassed in the
playing last evening and never had a
chance from the first inning. One
man got as far as the third base in
the ninth inning but there were two
out when he arrived there and Middle
ton settled down to business aesd
struck out the third man, nipping this
chance in the bud. At the opening of
the game the Grand Forkers threat
ened to do things The first man up
raped out single, but the succeed
ing batsman attempted to sacrifice
and the runner was thrown out at
second. Fast fielding retired the side
without a tally. Grand Forks started
badly in the field. The first Bismarck
batsman drew a pass. "A pair of safe
hits, another pass, and two or three
glaring errors and Bismarck had
scored s runs before the side was re-
tired. From then on the game was
5uninte resting. Grand Forks never
had q chance to score. Brown, third
3baseman, gobbled up everything that
came into his territory, and although
e few hits were made of Middleton
they were unprOductive. ss5 s i. ,3:2

Mrs. Anna kolar Makes interesting
Times for Sheriff WeIct, and

Anna Kolar, who lives on Fourth
street north Of the Franklin hotel
furnis shed interest, not to say amuse-,
ment for Sheriff WEIGH and several
deputies last evening when the sheriff
went to serve warrant Of arrest upon
her for aiding and abetting the escape
Of Graham, the prisoner who escaped
from the county jail and took refuge
under the house in which she lives
until he was discovered there by the
sheriff. Not long after Graham's dis
covery by the officers, the woman be-
came frenzied, either with anger over
his discovery or some other emotion,
and DR.. F. R. Smyth was summoned
to- attend her. After some difficulty
the doctor succeeded in quieting her
and the woman went to sleep. In the
warrant for her arrest on a charge
Of abetting the escape of Graham,
and went up to serve it. Hee found
the woman asleep and left the house
but had not proceeded far before one
Of the children ran after him to say
that the woman was again in fury.
With Bob Cotton of Wilton Sheriff
WEIGH went back to make the arrest.
They found the woman in a state Of
| frenzy, and in her fury she attacked
the officers as they entered the house,
with sticks, clubs, hot water, stove
lids and every other weapon that lay
| within her grasp. The unusual COM
motion attracted large crowd of
spectators, and from within the house
the woman made vicious attack up
on every one who attempted to modest
her. She threw a pailful of boiling
water at the sheriff, but it missed
him and part of the scalding fluid
struck a bystander on the leg. Sub
sequently she threw, the tea kettle full
of boiling water at the sheriff but
again he managed to dodge. Part Of
the time she stood on the bed an6
threw missiles of various descriptions
at the crowd. At length the woman
was taken into custody and taken t.
the county Jail where she is now con
fined. She was furious during the
night, tearing up bed clothing ant
otherwise venting her rage.
The woman has five children, thre,
of whom have been living with he
here. Her husband is said to be al
inmate of the Saltwater penitentiar,
and his brother is in the North Dakot,
penitentiary. Graham is also a peni
Tertiary graduate and has made he
n home place of refuge out of priso1
season. The children have bee1
taken to the Crittenton home for car,
while the woman is in Jail.
The woman has made life burden
for the officers both in Mclean ant
Burleigh county while Graham ha.
been in Jail, and after his second es
cape and the discovery of Graham un
der her house, Sheriff Welch deter
! mined to put an end to the nuisanc,
by swearing out warrant for tn,

preston included the present city of
Lowell, then East Chelmsford. There
were brave, determined men here from
the days of King Philips war, and
there was bold action here in IT'S.
They agreed upon a great stone near
the center of the town as the rallyfng
point, and when the news from Con-
cord reached them they made haste to
the place of duty.
The Westford men were among the
first at the bridge. The company
reached Concord just as the firing be-
gan, and joined in the pursuit. Capt.
Bates was MORALLY wounded
The old town of Billerica had a
score to settle against the kings
troops. for during the winter Of 1774-5
one of the men of the town had been
seized in Boston and treated to a coat
of tar and feathers. Hence they had
sharpened their bayonets and loaded
their muskets to be ready at mo-
ment's notice. They received word by
way of Woburn and the Minute men
were at Lexington ready to balance
accounts with the regulars as they
retreated- The militia company inter-
copied the enemy at Merriam's corner,
under Col William Thompson. Ma
thaniel Wyman was killed Although
claimed by Billerica he is recorded in

The train from the city, due at 5:33,
was more than half an hour late when
it finally drew up at Wayside juno
ton. As it jerked to a standstill an
extremely pretty girl descended from
the chair car, and, after dropping a
heavy suit case upon the platform.
walked rapidly toward the waiting
room.
Among the other passengers who
alighted was a young man, who, fol-

deposited his suit case likewise, and
then disappeared in the direction of

The two suit cases were left stand

A strident whistle signaled- the ap-
proach of the way train for Compton
Park. Miss Marion Holland emerged
from the waiting room, picked up a
suit case, and stood ready to enter the
car as the train pulled in.
The young man was evidently fas-
tidious in his choice of cigars, for he
had barely time to appropriate the
steps of the smoker.
Miss Holland was soon comfortably
established with her suit case safely
slowed away beside her. She was to
attend the wedding of her dearest
chum that evening, and incidentally
to countenance the occasion by APP
pearing in the role of maid of honor,
and the dainty raiment upon which
she had expended much time and
thought in choosing was far too pre-
cious to be intruSted- to the baggage
car.
The journey from the Junction was
not a long one, and on her arrival at
Compton Park a carriage whirled her
rapidly away to the Kneelands' coun-
try house, some distance out.
The young man also left the train
at Compton Park. He was met by a
fellow of his own age, and together
the two tramped along the village
street toward the hotel The suit case
with it's label of m. H. followed in
their wake in the grasp of a porter.

Tell your children of it, and let
your children tell their children, and

an Injunction honored by age, but
which every true New Eng1ander is
prompted to obey on each anniversary
of the memorable battle of the open
ing OF the revolution.
A glimpse at the battle map gives
the reader some intimation Of the ter
ritory stirred to action and from
which came the embatt1ed farmers,
and suggests the spirit of gratitude
shown in bronze and granite set up
by those who now consider that Sig
nificant uprising in connection with
its consequences to the entire world.
Although years have passed, evidence
OF the yeomen's determination oen-

Of the continental congress, and do
