WON CLOSE GAME
jamestown Defeated Husky Eleven
From cooperstown in whirI.
wind Finish. Score 10 to 6.

With but Thirty seconds left to
play, Jamestown forced touch down
over Cooperstown's goal, after SER
les OF smashing rushes, and won the
game, 10 to 6, at the fair grounds
Saturday afternoon. From the first
kickoff until the referee blew the
last whistle it was game that kept
the big crowd on the .qui vive, and
showed the pluck OF both elevens.
The first half ended without either
side scoring, but in the.middle of the
second half, Cooperstow made a
touchdown. recovering the ball on a
punt, and with a clear field raced the
ball over the goal for five points, and
soon adding another point by kicking
goal.
Instead. Of being disheartened
jamestown came back stronger than
ever. and we're not to be.denied. On
a double pass McCabe gained 30
yards but fumbled. However Lang
ford fell on the ball like hawk and
shaking off the tackler ran 20 yards
for a touch down. jamestown failed
to Kick goal and the score stood to
still in favor of CooperstOwn.
Jamestown kicked off to the visitors
who soon lost the ball. Wood gained
20 yards through tackle and Wick
added 20 more being downed on the 2
foot line. Cooperstown then took a
brace but Fox was showed over for
the last score and the.game ended
without trial for goal.
1t was fast, cleanly played con-
test, Cap. Griebler. severn and Lang
ford particularly showing up like vet
Grams. The defense Of 10th sides was
excellent, jamestown however excel
ling, at critical moments.

There is little doing at the local
elevators this week. The companies
are buying wheat on cash tickets, but
not much grain is offer,d en- account
Of the slump in prices due to the f.
nancial conditions in the east. Flax.
and other grains besides wheat are
taken on storage but not bought out
right. The state of affairs will not
last long, it Is believed.

A Sensible Arrange ment-AS Will
be seen by statement Of the officers
of the Jamestown banks, precaution-
ary measures we're adopted Tuesday
to prevent an unnecessary withdraw
al of currency from the banks. This
action was deemed necessary on ac-
count Of Financial TROUBLES in New
York, that have created temporary
scarcity of currency and gold, for the
usual necessities OF business. This
is not due to local conditions Of any
kind. The Jamestown banks we're
never in more fourishlng condi-
tion, and their solvency is beyond
'any question. The trouble seems to
be with the immense amount of bus
iness to be transacted, especially in
the northwest at his special time Of
the gear, and the difficulty of secur-
ing the necessary currency from the
east to move the crop.
The New York and Chicago banks
have declined to ship currency or
balances due to the western banks
and it is necessary that the banks Of
the northwest take the same steps
that the Chicago and New York
banks have taken, in Withholding
currency Withdrawals of the-present.
The plan Established by the banks
will not greatly inconvenience depos-
itors. Any one VINO has a checking
account at any of the banks can pay
store bills or any other bills by check
or draft just the same as in currency.
Any debt to be paid outside of the
city, may be paid..in..the same..way.
The action taken by the banks is
an unusual one, but is the only safe.
sensible and business-llke way, in
dealing with an. emergency, the
cause Of which has no relation to any
local conditions, but exists outside Of
jamestown, and the state of North
Dakota, and which originated In New
York City, where the banks have
been compelled to refuse to ship cur
rency to the west for moving crops
and for other necessities.
Currency will be paid out, b1t in
small amounts, and the certificates of
the various banks will be substituted
for currency where payments are de-
sired in large amounts These certifi-
Gates are guaranteed by the banks
and securities of double the amount
have been deposited with the trus.
tee, Alfred Steel; as a guarantee that
the certificates will be redeemed.
There is no sscause or any reason for
any alarm and it is believed that
these unusual conditions of cur
rency shortage will be removed with
in short time.
Every sensible, reasonable person
will understand that the interests of
the general community are vastly su-
periors to that. of a few individuals,
and that by Z this united action on
the part of the banks, the absolute
safety Of depositors interests is thus
secured and business not interfered
with.

CURRENCY RESTRICTIONS
Bankers Of Minneapolis, ST. Paul
and Duluth Take Steps to Stop
Drain of Money.
North Dakota Banks Adopt a Sim
liar Preeaution for Temper.
airy Purposes.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 2S.-The
bankers Of Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth met Monday afternoon and
decided to issue the following state
ment to the public.
STATEMENT BY THE BANKS.
In view of the action of the banks
j. of the central ..reserve.cities Of New
York. Chicago and St. Louis in re-
fusing to ship money against bal
ances due us, be it resolved, s-.
That for the protection of our COM
mercial interests, and for the purpose
Of preventing drain of money from
the banks the bankers. of Minneapo-
lis, St. Paul and Duluth do hereby
agree to adopt substantially the plan
recently adopted in New York, Chi
cago, st. Louis, Pittsburg, Milwau-
kee. INDIANAPOLIS, Des Moines and
other cities, viz:
That we will not pay out money on
checks, certificates of deposit or
drafts, except for small sums, and
that fer the present no money will be
furnished to bank corresponds nts;
but we will certify checks on bal
ances in our hands PAYABLE through
our Clearing Houses only. The Saw
ings Banks and Trust Companies and
the Savings Departments of banks
having such departments, will re-
quire the sixty and ninety daV no.
tices to which they are entitled by
law.
When it is realized that SO per cent
of the business of the country is
transacted by means of checks, and
only per cent oy means Of money,
it will be readily seen how little in
convenience will be caused to the
business community by the plan
adopted by the associated banks. TIE
payment of checks and drafts through
the Clearing House will proceed in
the usual way through the regular
channels. These checks and drafts
may be deposited in ..the banks as
heretofore, and their protection has
been fully provided for by this ac-
tion.
Outside of the above restrictions
business will be conducted as usual,
and it is believed that these condi
tions will be temporary and of short
duration.

Harry Cornwall-Jonn MONEYS S
friends about Eldridge were very
sorry to learn Of his sudden terrina-
tion which occurred on the public
highway short distance west of
Hugh Bole's farm residence last Sun
day afternoon. His death nwas In-
doubtedly occasioned by sheer expos
ure, he having denied himself proper
food and clothing. When advised by
me three years ago to take up his
abode in one of the many good hotels
in jamestown where ..he could have
the conveniencs of life ana proper
care, he replied that while my argu-
ment was good, he would be unable
TO comply because he was living bis
own way and entirely in the inter.
ests of science. Edward Pierce OF

MONEYS will is supposed to be,

Tuesday morning that Bishop John
Stanley of Fargo and Mr.. Ryan Of
Butte, formerly of Sheldon: are the
executors.o the will and that Sis
ter of Mr.. MONEYS, who resides in
Ireland, is the sole heir, and the
body will be shipped to the old sod
for interment. John Mooney, the
Irish patriot, was an extremely odd
character. possessed of IL uch wit and
.humor, and while not IAN educated
man, was we'll poster in ancient and
modern history and could hold his
own in almost any argument. He
owned at the time of his death one
of the finest tracts of agricultural
land in Stutsman county.
