A:sociated Press Cable TO The Evenins
Times.
Rotterdam, Feb. 21.-A disastrous
steamship wreck, attended with great
loss of life, occurred today of the
Hook of Holland, when the Great
Eastern Railway company's steamer,
the Berlin, bound for Harwich to the
Hook of Holland, was lost. All on
board, 141 persons in all, of whom
ninety-one were passengers, were
drowned. The wreck occurred off the
north pier of the Hook of Holland.
The wreck occurred at o'clock
this morning during terrific south
westerly gale. The steamer struck
the north jetty while trying to enter
the new water way at the Hook of
Holland. She broke in two, the for
ward part Immediately sinking, while
the passengers and crew gathered on
the stern, where they vainly attempt
ed 10 use the life DOatS.
The Berlin was a British steamer
Z, 302 feet long, and of 1,775 tons. The
ship was commanded by Capt. Albeit,
and was built in 1894 One person
was saved from the wreck. Bodies
to the number of twenty-five have al
ready been washed ashore.
Later.
The after part of the wrecked
steamer Berlin did not slip into deep
water, as at first reported, but seems
to be firmly imbedded in sand. There
are still few persons on board,
clinging to the wreckage. and it is
hoped it may be possible to effect their
rescue at low tide. During the high
water, at the height of the storm, the
waves shut off all view of the wreck,
which led to the belief that no trace
of the Berlin had been left The re-
ceding tide, however, revealed the re-
mains of her stern, with handful of
survivors.
The only person who thus far has
succeeded in reaching shore is Capt.

indelicate and vulgar. She did not

A special representative of the in
terror department has been investi-
eating the case, and final accountings
show. it is claimed, a shortage of about
$4,000. The department made de-
mand on the bond company for the
amount, and the bond company is
now looking for Tufts.
The ex-receiver disappeared some
three months since. He went to Ia
coma, Wash, it is stated to accent a
position in a lumber office. He was
there only "a few days, and since then
has not been heard of. His family
resides here, but its members claim

receiver for eight years, and prior to
that time he was farmer residing
near Argusville, Cass county.

SERIOUS CONDITION
With Middle Of February Past
and Nothing Done in
Northern League.

Jan. ID meeting at Calumet post
poned on account of illness of Secre-
tary Gless; Jan. q postponed again
for the same reason; Feb. 10 post
poned on account of illness in family
of President Price; Feb. II meeting
at Duluth postponed again for the
same reason.
Thus reads the uneventful and evil
IDENTIFY hoodooed history of the North
ern-Copper- Country league so far this
season. The middle of February has
passed, and nothing, not even the cir
cult of competing clubs, has been de-
cided upon. A salary limit has been
fixed at $1,100 but this is the only
provision which has been made, ana,
while the teams that are assured OF
a position on the circuit are fairly
we'll supplied with candidates for po-
sitions, should Superior and some out
standing go in to make an eight club
league of it, they would have some
warm hustling to do to get a team
ready for the game by the league
opening on May 16.
This is a decidedly serious state for
league to be in at this time of
the year.

Swing South.

Valley City. Tomorrow evening they
play against the two teams of the VAL
ley City normal, and on Friday they

agricultural college in the near
future. Negotiations are now under
way for such a match, and Manager

states that prospects for the game
are excellent.
The probable line up for the boys

Fargo is as follows: Forwards,
O'Keefe and Netcher; center, Mason,
guards, Farnham and Nelson; subs,
Oliver and Sorenson.
The probable line up of the girls

ROMAN MADE. BEST
CAMPAIGN YEARS
AGO
Comisky Says it Was When He
Won From Chicago Ma
tionals for St. Louis.

Chicago, Feb. 2O.-"Charley" Com
iskey Is mighty proud Of the victory
of the White Stockings in the worlds
championship baseball series last
year, but the "old Roman" disputes
the assertions of Qater-day enthusi-
asts that 1t was his greatest triumph.
The campaign of 1886, twenty years
ago, the veteran says, was the great
est, as we'll as the most exciting, of
his long career as player, manager
and owner of ball clubs. Comiskey
was then the moving spirit in the st.
Louis Browns, and won the worlds
championship from the Chicago Ma
tional league team.
'The st. Louis Browns title to the
worlds championship, earned in the
1885 series with the Chicago National
league team, had been disputed" he
says. "and we met again at the close
of the 1886 championship. Mr.. Spald-
ing stipulated that the winner should
take all the receipts, and would not
play under any other arrangement.
Chris Won der Abe called him, and
the winning players were promised
half of the revenue at the games.
Two Stood Pat.
There were two players who had
the courage to stand pat-Robinson
and Pfeffer. Each of the second base
men was confident that his team
would win, but the others agreed to
split. So that, as a matter Of fact,
the money proposition was the same
for the players, with the exception of
the two named, whether the Browns
or the White Stockings won. Arson
and myself, the first basemen, were
the managers, and our onicial post
ton made It out of the question for
us to do business.
I'm those days the Chicago club did
not play Sunday ball, and to get the
Sabbath revenue in st. Louis we play
ed the Maroons for the championship
getting In a couple of Sundays in this
way. This brought about unique con-
ditons. It was possible for the
Browns 10 win or lose the champion.

PROMOTE Breeding Of
LIGHT HARNESS HORSES

field Of youngsters battle for suprem-
acy in close finish? No race pulled
of at the Minnesota state fair caused
more excitement than the three year
old trot and pace, except the grand
exhibition of Dan Patch.
II have talked to some of the pro-
moters of the International associa-
ton about giving three year old stakes
and the excuse they give is that they
would not fill. l will venture to say
that there would not be better filled
event at the meetings than in this
class or one that would cause more
interest. How do they know it would
not fill? 1t has never been tried in
our state and We are the only state
in the union that does not hang up
purse for youngsters. Even though
it did not prove to be the best pay
ing event to the circuit it would slim
ulate as no other event will, the rails
ing of light harness horses in North
Dakota. You would be surprised a,
the number of youngsters that would
be brought forward in this state for
such an event.
Il have no colt of my own that
l could enter in such stake and
do not write this for my own benefit,
yet for the promotion of breeding IN
our state there is nothing that would
give me and many other horsemen
more pleasure than to see two events
of this kind given by the Interna-
tional Racing circuit; and what bet
ter advertising could you give a stall
lion than to enter two or three OF
his youngsters in such events?

MARK NELSON MAY
MEET POTTS OR
ZURICH
Minot Pugilist Training Hard
and Hopes for Match-Good
Fight Arranged.

Mark Nelson, the we'll known Minot
North Dakota fight fans writes the
Evening Times that he will be open
to all Corners after March at 40
pounds. He adds that he would pre-
fer to meet Jimmie" Potts of Mime
apolis or "Curley" Ulrich of Duluth.
Mark" has been training hard for
the last few weeks at his farm near
Minot, and is said to be in first class
condition. He will not come out until
after March 1 and has already made
arrangements for match in Calgary,
where he will meet William Lander,
who is said to be fast one. Mark
has also deal on for match with
Maurice Thompson for liberal
purse, the fight to take place at Los
Angeles or some other coast city.
In the ring, Nelson is right at home.
He is one of the handiest men with
the gloves that there is in the North
west, and the clean sportsmanlike
methods pursued by him in all match
es has won for him the admiration
Of a large number of followers of the
ring. His record is good, and during
the time he has been in the game, he
has gone up against some good men,
always coming out with credit to
himself.
A match between Nelson and Potts
or Ulrich would be interesting. The
Superior man is good fighter, while
the Minneapolis man is known to be
possessed Of few Of the best tricks
in the fighting game. 1t is very prob
able that there will be something do
ing at an early date in the way of q

she fell sobbing on his breast.
mo, my darling, not ill, but say
to Norman Yewell, Raymond Car.
Isle said no. and tell him to re-
peat my message to his mother. u
When alone by his fireside he
groaned aloud Why had Olga come
to him to tell of her love. this eve
of all others? Was he not just
thinking of the eve, % years ago
when Martha Nelson had crumbled
his heart into cold ashes by telling
him their engagement was at an
| end, that she had accepted Larkin
Yewell, a rich land owner, that she
preferred a life of luxury to that he
could give her on the then small
fortune derived from his law prac-
tice?
All. he had sworn to make her
remember that hour-his time had
| come. Since the death of Larkin
Yewell the mother had centered all
her love upon her son. He would
now have her suffer through the
son.
1t was a cold December morning
Roads were like iron, but to the ro-
bust judge and his daughter
wrapped in furs, it was impossible
to feel the cold. They were on their
way to Grandma Carlisles. Since
the death of his wife, some II years
since, they had always spent Christ
mas there. Meeting hunter, the
judge drew rein and asked:
would it be safe to ford the
creek below the hill?"
''Only two hours earlier it was
safely fOrded, sir" was the reply.
The judge drove into the stream.
For a short time the heels ground
upon the pebbly bed, yet ere they
knew the horse was out of depth
they felt the phaeton upborne as if
with wings, and whirling on as in
a mighty river they were carried
down with the current, the creek
widening as they drifted and be
coming torrent stream. The
judges face was white and set, the
whirling waters washed them from
the seat. Above the roar of waters
Olga heard her fathers voice:
Il cannot save you; we are lost!'
Norman Yewell was sitting by
the fireside thinking of the girl he
loved, wondering would the judge
relent. wondering how fate would
tear the barriers away that sepa-
rated him from his love.
Olga, softl he said the name
