Fargo Call: Though it is nearly two

Country league will open the season
on the diamond, the managers of all
the teams are hustling to get together
aggregations that will make a good
showing in the race The fact that
there will be eight clubs in the race
this year and all of them live baseball
towns, will make things much more
interesting than heretofore. The cop

baseball towns and the former North,

not found wanting.

players and several new men, who are
expected to further strengthen the
team, which means that local Lase-
ball fans can look for an aggregation
that will make strong bid for the
pennant. AS matters look at present,
Fargo will have the strongest pitching
staff in the league and will be strong
in all other departments.
Not much is known locally concern
ing the new teams in the league, ex-
cept the fact that last year when
Duluth, the Northern league leaders,
invaded the copper country Captain
O'Dea found that his pets had all they
could handle and often more The
quality of baseball put up last year
by the copper country league was

Pioneer Press:
An epidemic of typhoid fever is re-
ported in Breckenridge, and DR.. H. M.
Bracken, secretary of the state board
of health, says that out of population
of 1850. there have been 200 cases of
the disease during the last six months.
He finds that the infection comes
through the village water supply.
The public water supply is taken
from the Otter Tail river. This river
receives the sewage from Fergus Falls,
forty-five miles up by stream and
twenty-eight by road. Fergus Falls
is city Of nearly 1000 inhabitants
and the sewage flow is large. The
matter will be taken up at the April
meeting Of the board of health and
1t is probable that an order will be
issued directing the village to secure
new water supply.
The board has also examined con-
ditions at Wahpeton. although that
comes outside its Jurisdiction. Wah-
peton takes half its water from an
artesian we'll and the other half from
the same river as Breckenridge, mix
Ing the two, but Dr.. Bracken says that
what the city takes from the river is
worse than the Breckenridge water,
for they get the sewage from both

their drinking water.

Bateson appeared for the state and c.
R. Gailfus for the defendant. After
the state had introduced its evidence.
the case was dismissed, no criminal
