a TRIP To VALLEY CRY

The editor of the Record visited

invited by the people OF that beautiful
city to deliver the Memorial bay adj

one Of the publishers OF this county
had sent TO the Valley City ncwspa-
peIs marked copies Of his paper com
tanning IL tiradc of abuse and misrep-
rescntatiOn OF the speaker, the warm
welcome he received by the civil war
veterans and the Philippine soldiers,
aud by the citizens generally, will ever
bc 4 green spot In his memory, and IL
will t,e many u day tefur. hr forgctS
the Kind treatment hc received there.
Had the gentleman WHO sent the
marked copies which were unStampcd
and hence must nave been sent direct
from the office Of publication heard
the expressions made regarding his
methods, lie certainly would not have
felt battered by their tenor or proud
of his effort

Sunday the Pollock boys arrived
from the south, aud they had blood in
their eyes, 1t had been previously re-
ported In this locality that they had
formed q partnership with Ashley and
were coming here to win This, how
ever, did not prove TO be the case.
Nevertheless, the Linton boys acted
accordingly. and as Achcson, who
caught for the locals last year, had
agreed to play with Pollock, Jimmy
Ruzitska. Wisllck, who played -four
games wit the Reds last year, was
asked to come. He accepted, aud thus
Linton was ready for the tussle The
game began with both teamsconiidcmt
OF winning. Pollock was first to bat.
and was retired witout u score. Lin
ton went to bat and, to be sure OF the
game, drove in four scores to start
with. Although Pollock ircw "a goose
egg in the second, the home team
wished +" make the result doubly GER
tain and pushed two more men across
the plate. 1t was in this inHing that
Linton worked the play known Us the
squeeze" in beautiful manner.
Flanagan was on third and Kohl was
at bat. The batter signaled the
squeeze play" and az the ball was
pitched to the batter Flanagan
dashed for the plate. Kohl simply met
the ball with the bat and secured a
beautiful bunt. Flanagan scored and
Kohl beat the ball to first. The score
now stood six to nothing In favor of
the Reds, and so the home team con-
tented itself with putting every effort
into holding the visitors down. The
latter received nothing until the sixth
inning, when grounder was knocked
to Haas at short, which hecouId easily

struction Of some kind and bounded
far above his head. This allowed
Cranston tn score, although Stembcr
barely missed throwing him out al
the plate At the close of the game
the score was six To ,ne In favor of The
Reds. Although not called upon TO
exert himself, Flanagan again demon
strated that he can twirl the sphere
in such a puzzling manner that ID is
impossible for the opposing battcrs TO
''spoil the ball" A summary of the
game is here given:

continued to swat the ball until ut he
close OF the game they had piled up
fourteen runs. The Indian boys
worked TO the finish, but only succeed
ed IN securing one more tally. In
spite OF the rather large score, both
teams worked hard: but the game was
the first of the season foI each team,
and their work was nothing extra. Fol

AS USUAL tine Oay Sacred to the Mem.
ory Of the Departed Soldiers Of the
Civil War Was Enthusiastically
Observed Ia Linton The Exerclses
We're Well Attended and the Ad-
dress by the Hon. T. z. Mockler
Eloquent and instructive.
The forenoon of last Thursday (Me.
mortal Day was damp and cloudy, and
for time it was feared that it would
be necessary to forego the procession.
But in the afternoon the clouds broke
up and the weather clerk relented, for
the remainder Of the day furnishing
an article OF weather that was entirely
satisfactory.
The procession formed on Broadway
and marched to the opera house, where
the exercises took place. The Linton
concert band was in the lead, with the
civil-war veterans following, escorting
the orator cf the day, the Hon. I. II.
Mockler, Of Bismarck. Those In line
were Comrades Woodland, of Glencoe;
Geo. II. Mclean, Of Winchester; w.
w. Putnam and Capt. John O'Flynn,
of Winona: Il. Frankhauser, OF Pollck;
T.. d. Wescott, Joseph Fuller, \. u.
Merrill, b. \. Williams and \. G..
WAGNER, OF Linton.
Comrade WAGNER acted as command
er of the Grand Army squad, and as
president of the day.
The veterans were followed by the
Scliool.chiIdren, who turned out in
large numbers and made good show
ing.
There was considerable done in the
way of decoration ON Broadway: but
not as much, probably, as there would
have been had the weather in the fore
noon not been so threatening.
At the opera-house the exercises
were opened with prayer by the Rev.
S. w. Hover.
Attorney II. \. Armstrong, for the
committee appointed To decorate the
graves of soldiers, made the report for
that committee, showing that the
graves of Comrades John Henderson,
John Parker, Smith II. Cronk, Lemuel
h Garrison and Jacob Haptonstall, i'm
Beaver Valley Cemetery, had been Wis
tied during the forenoon and decOrat-
ed with flowers and flags.
\ selection "Memorial day." was
read 10y Attorney Armstrong.
''Cover Them Over with Flags and
Flowers" was recited by little Miss
Hazel Petrie, and her perfect render
Ing Of the poem elected much favor
able comment.
President Lincoln's address at Get.
tysburg was given by Prof. Percy Will
liaMs.
The orator of the day was Repre-
sentative Thomas II. MockIer, OF Bis
marck. Inaclear voice of such volume
that every word could be plainly un-
derstood in all parts of the hall, Mr..
Mockler told the story of the war, and
paid a glowing tribute to the men who
prevented the dissolution of the Union.
Every opinion that the writer has
heard in regard to the address Of the
talented Capital City lawyer has been
favorable. Not one half of the people
who wished to hear the oration could
get into the hall.
1t is doubtful if a village the size Of
Linton, in the state Of North Dakota,
pays more attention to the observance
of Memorial Day. This was the fifth
consecutive year in which tile people
OF Linton have observed Memorial
Day each year since the new town was
founded in not one of those years
has there been failure. Nearly every
body is ready and willing to help in
making the day success.
