Rasmussen of this city and
Dept. Sheriff Little, of Wynd-

known as the Burke joint.

the big Boss OF Lidgerwood by
raiding his place and arresting
the bar tender Louis Brenna.
1t appears as though one of
the officers made his way into
the place and bought a bottle
of beer and then the arrest fol-

of the place, cleared the house

BASE BALL.
Large Crowd Witnesses Game Be-
tween Fargo and Wahpeton
at Island Park.
SCORE FOUR TO TWO.
The Home Team Wins in. Closely
Contested Game. Tie Score
Until Last Half Of Eighth

Ihe aggregation OF ball toss
ere from Fargo, known as the
Fargo Independents, as a little
diversion from the usual routine
and probably to make a stake
for the fair, came over to our
yard Sunday and gave our boys
a red hot one for seven innings,
but, too bad both sides couldn't
win in the tragedy of errors and
as the Fargo boys outmistaked
our boys, they went home with
4 to 2 in our favor chalked on
their slate.
Hobza was in fine form and
proved himself the candy kid
with the gum ear. He had ex-
cellent control of his quick in
shoot and rainbow out drop
and pitched a no-safe-hit game,
passing but few men to first on
balls, and but for the numerous
errors made the game would
have been complete shut-out
for Wahpeton.
It's hard to tell who holds
the leather medal for the mis-
cue honors of the day as the
game was lost 80 often on
errors on both sides that it be-
came monotonous to the spec
tators. The Fargo bench play
ers said the errors weren't
limited to the players by any
means as umpire Schneider
made three decisions that snaelt

seemed to be behind the screen
in the fly line. But during the
rest of, the game the infielders
got their muck rakes into work
ing order and the innings were
played in the one, two, three
order.
"Red" Holman, the chubby
one, as usual led the home team
in the manipulation of h e
kindling and carried off the
laurels. He brought in a score
in the third inning on one Of
his favorite long drives, and
himself successfully pedaled
around three bags, but in at
tempting to make it a home
run, failed to spur himself on
the last lap with the result that
he should have crossed the
plate on his tonneau. In the
last half of the eighth he un-
limbered again and poled a
long fly over center fielder near
that third weed and did the
Barney OldAeld stunt against
time around the. square, sue
cessfully covering the distance
in the allotted space of time and
heaped up two more runs to
his credit, which. relieved the

shirt Protector.

When man buys dress shirt nova
days he can depend on the bosom be-
ing absolutely spotless, since, owing to
new device that has been thought Of,
the shirt is protected from the touch
Of soiled fingers that so often were
wont to leave their mark on the fair
surface.
This new style of protection consists
of an envelope of transparent paper
that is large enough to hold the shirt,
keep it absolutely clean, and yet en-
abling one to see the size numbers
through it. Without adding much to
the cost, the envelope is great econo-
my to the dealers and makers, since
with its use there is never any cause
for the return of shirts to the factory
that have been soiled in the handling,
as there is in the case Of collars and
cuffs.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
lncurable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced itineurable.

tional treatment. Hall Catarrh Cure, manu-

FLOUR Preserved by Compression

In England much interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in a new method of preserv-
ing -four by means of compression.
With hydraulic pressure apparatus the
-four is squeezed into the :orm of
bricks, and experiments are reported to
have shown that the pressure destroys
all forms Of laryal life, thus preserving
the -four from the ravages Of insects,
while it is equally secure from mold.
Three hundred pounds of compressed
-four occupy the same space as 100
pounds of -four in the ordinary state.
