heavy wagon load of drinka'bles and

Messrs. Lyle and Murphy gave bond
in short time, and were released. It
is rumored that Murphy used to sell an
other brand, but that since the com
bine has purchased the Chesterfield. no
alien brand has been permitted to light
there.
It was late in the evening when Chief
Goodwin was informed that Hutch

to fix another warrent. and in a few
minutes four officers. Sergeant Gardiner
at the head, stormed the Cave place.
Cave saw them coming and locked the

Eight officers with four warrants Wis

Crookston to Get Busy.

Crookston Times: 1t has leaked out,
as 1t was certain to do, that at the
annual meeting of the Northern league
baseball magnates at Duluth the first
of the week, that If there is a Northern
league the coming year Crookston
must have team. The location ct
Crookston Is such that the TRANSPORT
tation of the various teams in reaching
this city is practically nothing, as it
Is in a direct line between Winnipeg
and Duluth, and the jump between
Crookston and Grand Forks is the
shortest of any in the league.
The magnates discovered that the
copper country towns were out of the
question, the distance being too great,
jump of $50 miles being necessary.
An effort was made to keep the decis-
ion that Crookston must be retained
in the league a secret for the time be-
Ing, in order that the necessity of ac-
tion at once on the part of the fans
here might be pronounced, but Man
ager Lamb of the Winnipeg team let
the cat out of the bag when talking
to representatives of both the Free
Press and Telegram of that city,
which both state in positive terms that
Crookston will remain in the league.

. BUSY WITH TAX MATTERS.
County Commissioners Continue in
Session Today Little Doing.

Today the county commissioners
continued in session and did little
business of Importance save to con-
slider petitions for abatement of taxes.
The following resolutions were in
troduced late yesterday afternoon by
Commissioner Schlaberg:
Whereas, There are millions of
acres of fertile lands in the Red river
valley which are rendered valueless
for agricultural purposes each year by
reason of inadequate drainage; and :
Whereas. We deem 1t of the utmost
importance to the citizens of this
county and of the entire state that
suitable drainage be established at
the earliest practicable time through
out said valley, but which cannot be
accomplished without the aid Of the
national government; now, therefore,
Be 1t Resolved, That our senators
and representatives In congress be
and they are hereby most respectfully
petitioned and requested to use all
honorable means in their power to OBJ
tain assistance. from the national gov
erpment for the establishment Of such
drainage, and, be 1t further.
Resolved, That a copy Of these reso-
lutions be by the clerk Of this board
transmitted to each OF our members
of congress from this state.
