FEAT STILL UNPERF0RMED
Georgetowners Guarding Goal Line,
Which Has Not Yet Been Crossed.
Probable Lineup.

The Western and Business High
School teams Will meet at National
Park tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 o'clock.
Much depends upon the result Of this
game. Should Western be defeated IL
will mean that the Georgetown school

and give Central and Tech a chance for
the championship.
While Business hardly hopes to down
Western the Stenographers are expect
ing to cross the Red and White goal
line. a feat which each of the other
schools has failed 10 do. Business made

Tech, and as her whole team is in good
shape for tomorrow's contest. her fol-
lowers are hopeful that one of her backs
will perform the feat Of breaking West

ROBINSON Is SHREWD.
Says He Merely Left the Note
Sealed in Envelope.


From Saturdays Daily.
During the month of June a man
named d. G. Robinson, haiing from
Mankato. so he stated. arrived i'm Moor
head, representing one of the eastern
life insurance companies. He was of
pleasing address, perfectly open, appar-
emily, as to his past movements, and in
short time he made friends with a
large number of people, says The Moore
head News. His strict morality COM
mended him to the more staid of our
citizens, and he was received everywhere.
He did fair business and seemed to be
getting on all right. However, about
Wednesday last, Mr.. Robinson left town,
but previous to- going he put up a note
for $l55 signed by Oliver kragnes, for
a loan of $50 obtained from A. r.
Charest. A number of bills against Rob
inson coming to light Immediately af-
| ter his departure, Mr.. Charest thought
he would investigate his collateral Sc
| curity. He found that the note was a
! forgery. Oliver Kragnes declared that
he had never seen Robinson, though
Robinson had previously insured Gilbert
kragnes Mr.. Charest then swore out
warrant for his arrest.
On Monday night he called Mr..
Charest up by phone from Perham, ask
ing him to take care of S25 check
which he had drawn on the Moorhead
National Bank, supposing that MIR. Char
est was still ignorant of the forgery.
Sheriff Bayer and Deputy Sheriff
Erickson went to Perham. the arrest
was made. and Robinson was brought
back here Tuesday morning.
Everyone along the street has known
of the affair for two or three days and
mention of prominent Moorhead bus
mess man. in trouble was made in the
Fargo Call.
The News has followed its policy of
refraining from mention of affairs OF
this character until they have been made
public property through the arrest and
appearance in court of the person or per-
sons implicated, and then contents it
self with bare statement of facts.
1t is stated late this afternoon that
the case has been settled and that Rob
inson would be released from custody.
He claims that he did not attempt to
negotiate the note, but merely placed 1t
in sealed envelope and left it with Mr.
Charest.
Later information from NIoorhead il
to the effect that Robinson's case is
still pending.

WIDElL is A CANDIDATE.
Minneapolis Journal Ssys He Wants
to Be Secretary Of State.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The Minneapolis Journal of last even
ing contained the following:
"Gustaf Widell of Mankato will be a
candidate for secretary of state at the
next republican state convention. This
is the report brought by friends of the
big contractor, who say that he is get
ting his business systematized in order
to be able to leave it for a campaign
and to fill the office if elected. If his
present plans do not miscarry, he will
be an active bidder for the nomination.
General Widell has been prominent
in state politics for several years, serv-
inc on the state committee, and last
wear an effort was made to get him out
as candidate for secretary of state.
He declined to oppose Peter +. Han
son at that time. He employs about l.
900 men in his stone quarry, and on
bridge and canal work, and stands well
with his men.
at is conceded that he will be big
factor in the convention il he runs.
Like Secretary Hanson, he is of Swedish
origin"
General Widell certainly would make
an excellent official and his name on the
republican ticket would add strength to
it.
