manfully. Farewell!
A New Law.

A new law on the taxation of
grain has recently gone into
effect, which provides that all
grain grown within the state
and held therein in elevators,
warehouses or grainalies, shall
be taxed at fixed rate as fol-
lows: Flax at the rate of one
half of one cent per bushel;
wheat at the rate of three-eights
of a cent per bushel;. and oats,
barley, corn, speltz and rye
each at the rate of One-eighth
of one cent per bushel. The
tax is made direct and all that
the assessor has to do is to find
out the number of bushels of
each kind of grain held by the
party assessed.

MaxbaSS Game.

Tuesdays game with Max
bass resulted in our defeat in a
fast 1 to o game. John Neville
of Westhope was umpire. Both
sides played fast and the game
was a most interesting one.
We failed to get the lineup OF
the teams from the score book
before the boys went to Leeds
on Wednesday and for the same
reason cannot give any detail
plays but even those who were
not at the game will readily
see that to O games are pretty
fast exhibitions of ball playing.
We predict the return game
with Maxbass will bring forth
different results. The rabbit s
foot will not always avail.

The Leeds Game.

On Wednesday morning the
Bottineau boys, accompanied
by manager Wilbur, went to
Leeds where they played a fast
game with the nine at that

score was 2 to 1 in favor OF
Leeds. Batteries Jones and
Shonka, Bottineau.
Another game was played by
the same teams on Thursday
morning when the home team
was again defeated by a score
of 5 to 1. Bidne and Shonka
were at the points for Botti-

In the afternoon the third
game was pulled off which re.

Former Pastor Of the Baptist
Church Passes Away.
IN OAKLAN D, CAL.
Rev. Peter Mitchell Dies at His Home
III that City from Asthma and
Heart Failure.

Word was received this week
through Mr.. ID. II. McArthur
of the death of the Rev. Peter
Mitchell, who died at Oakland,
Cal. on the 18th of this month
from an attack of asthma and
heart failure. 1t was only three
weeks before this happened
that Mrs. Mitchells mother died.
This comes as a double blow to
the bereaved family.
AS everyone who knew the
Rev. Mitchell also knew that
this was a long standing afflic-
ton and all will regret the sad
news.
The Rev. Peter Mitchell was
known in this town and county
as the pastor of the Baptist
church for something like six
years, and won a large place in
the hearts and lives of the peo-
pie, and no figure was more fa-
miliar in the community than
his and no gathering complete
without his presence. Not only
is the community of Bottineau
county indebted to him, but
the state of North Dakota. For
it was here that he began his
life's work, and as a pioneer
preacher he made the sacrifices
and paid the price that such a
calling at such a time demands.
More than twenty-five years
ago found him laborer in this
capacity in the neighborhood
of Park River and otherwheres
along the valley of the Red,
breaking up the fallow ground,
giving of his physical strength
and mental and spiritual zeal
and usefullness-those qualities
that 60 to make our land a
community what it is today.
All we can say is Farewell! old
conrad, your battle was fou ght

BOTTINEAU

Antler went to bat and start
ed the trouble with 2 scores and
their supporters freely predict
ed that it was all over. Botti-
neau sent Osgood to bat and he
made first. Thompson pushed
matters and he made the first
sack. Jones went to bat and
batted to the tall grass and
reached home with time to
spare. The inning ended 3 to
2 in our favor. No scores Sec
ond inning but everybody play
ed ball. In the third Antler
got a goose-egg but for the
homers Osgood scored a home
run on a clean drive to right
field and Jones came through
with a score making it so. No
runs until the first of the eighth
when Hurt scored for Antler.
1t looked like more of 'em but
the boys played fast and stop
ped the danger. A long throw
from center held by Jones cut
Jarvis off at home and a quick
play from Shonka to Thompson
and Murphy caught Jarvis off
third base. Williams was cut
off stealing to second. The
score remained unchanged,
Antler going down in the last
inning in one. two, three order
and the game ended 5 to 3 in
our favor. The Antler boys
are gentlemanly players and
played clean, fast ball. Credit
is also due to the umpire for
fairness in the face of great
difficulties. The attendance
was surprisingly large for such
a disagreeable day.
