Well Attended,


Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 16.-The OPEN
ing session of the seventh annual con-
vention of the retail implement deal-
ers was held at the auditorium here,
according to schedule. The attendance
of members was the largest in the his

conflicting meeting at Minneapolis had
a bad effect so far as the attendance
of manufacturers and jobbers is con-

before. There were more than 200
implement men in the hall besides 9TH

Tale of Immense Gathering of Sort.
Dakota Coyotes.

Wheeler, S. d.. Dec. 20.-Parties ar
irving from the vicinity of the mouth
of Five Mile creek report that . great
convention of coyotes was held a night
or two ago on q high hill in that To-
cality. 1t appeared to be Il gathering
of the coyote clans from far and near.
One of the features of the convention
appeared to me a contest to decide
which of the hundreds of coyotes had
the strongest lungs Throughout the
night the assembled coyotes partici-
pated in a grand chorus, which could
be heard for a great distance, and
caused the timid human being residing
in the vicinity to shiver With dread.
Before hunters could reach the scene
the following morning the convention
had adjourned sine die and the coyotes
had disappeared.

, WILL REQUEST DENIAL
Minnesota Athletic Governors Tire c

Untruths of ''String Eiend.''
Minnesota's athletic authorities will ask the
governors Of Wisconsin athletics to put curb
on the "string fiend" at Madison who Is filling
up the newspapers of the middle west with his
TRADES against Minnesota. Manager Reed re-
turned to Minneapolis from Madison yesterday,
after conference with Manager Downer Min
nesota had been placed in an unpleasant posi-
ton by the heralding broadcast of the idea that
Wisconsin wished to drop Minnesota, but could
not on account Of contract calling for game
next year. Gopher representatives took up the
matter with the badgers, pointing out the un-
pleasant features of these stories and announcing
that. should Wisconsin entertain a desire to
cancel the contract Minnesota would acquiesce
just the board Of control could be
convened. b.. Il" 49,. --'':. ....
Wisconsin's governors disclaimed any RESPONSE
bility sympathy with the stories, and assured
the gophers that no such feeling exists among
the undergraduates or faculty at Madison De-
spite the facts, this correspondent persists in
placing both universities in awkward position
before the public. It would appear to be up
to Wisconsin to find some means of suppressing
. him making a public disclaimer of RESPONSE
blity for his acts. Sss ~y-.'E--., !; IT.
| The relations between the managers Of the
big teams are pleasant, and moves are on foot
for extension of athletic activity between
the teams of the schools. The delay in settling
upon a date for the badger gopher game is due
to the fact that. schedule making is difficult
task and must be taken up with care. The only
thing leftaabout the arrangements for the Min
nesota- Wisconsin game Of 1908 is the settling
