sensational arrests and the escape of
both prisoners 1t is claimed an or

operating in that neighborhood for
some time. The sheriff of Mclean
county arrested one Mcdonald and
took him in charge. and was holding
him in the hotel. Some time during
the night Mcdonald quietly walked
out OF the back door of the hotel and
escaped in the dark, having, it is
thought, a good start before his es-
cape was discovered. Up to this time
he is still at large. Subsequently the
sheriff of Benson county, with several
deputies. arrested Art Schaffer at the
latter's home. five miles south east OF
Maddox. on suspicion of being an

Schaffer saw the sheriff and his posse
approaching and secreted himself
in straw stack. where. after dill

of the deputies and ordered to hold
up his hands. which order was obeyed.
After some parleying, a request
from Schaffer to go into the house
was granted. His exit was announce

posse to leave, backed up by 32-

Crooked Deal.

Los Angeles. May 1s.-Jim Jeffries,
retired heavyweight champion, last
evening told the following: "Jack
O'Brien is the first and only man who

"'I have found certain party or
parties in Nevada who say they will
give a 100000 purse for a fight be-

an additional $4,000 in the bank for
you, making $4,000 in all, every cent
Of which will go to you.
"'But you will have to take the
count to get it.
II told him that did not need mon
ey that bad and he interrupted me
again to say: OF course didn't think
that you would pay any attention to
it, and told the Nevada people so at
the time"

b0WBE[[S HAS
STRONG LINEUP
Team is Made Up Of Good Men
and They Will Do Things
This Summer.

Bowels, N. D., May 13.-That Bow
bells had the fastest ball team in
northwestern North Dakota last sea-
son is an acknowledged fact. as is
shown by the record of only five
games lost out OF twenty-three played,
one of them being forfeit game to
Lansford.
This year. however. the, fans are
confident that they have faster team
than ever before, and offer challenges
to any team in this part of the state,
the Great Northern league and the
Northwestern North Dakota league
not excepted.
Sumner Isaacs, the catcher, is one
of the fastest in the state, having
played last season with the fast La
Moure team and in 1905 with Forest
City. Ia. Martin Westrum, better
known as "Abe," will occupy the box
again this year. He needs no intro
ductfon to the ball fans in this part
of the state. having won an enviable
reputation as twirler with the Bow
bells team last year. With this COM
bination the local team has a license
to claim the best battery in the state
Dan Malamphy has signed again
this season. and will play first base.
He has an established reputation as
an all-around player, and will be
found a strong man wherever as
signed.
Second base will be taken care of
by Frank Emerson, 'the Bowbells
WONDER" who is fast man and will
be found in the game and playing ball
all the time.
Anton Nysteun, another first-class
all-around man, will play third base.
Last year he played with the crack
teams at Hannaford and Cooperstown
and stood first in the batting list.
Bowbells can rest assured that this
part of the in-f1eld will be properly
taken care of.
Branch Brady. who is we'll known
throughout this part of the state, and
who was captain of the team last year,
will hold the same position this sea-
son as captain and short-stop. He is
a clean ball player and pleasant fell
low to meet
The out-field will also be we'll taken
care of. Ernest Begun, who played
the season of 1906 at Emmetsburg, Ia.
and comes here we'll recommended,
will play right field.
Warren Fuller will play center field.
He is highly recommended as ball
player, having played left field last
season with the Dakota Business COL
lege.
Jimmie Miller. brother of Lefty"
Miller, the well-known twirler who
pitched for West Hope in the game at
Bowbells last season, has signed to
play left field and pitch. Though
young man. he has gained fine repu-
tation as ball player and twirler,
and for several years has played with
one of the fastest amateur teams in
the state of Minnesota at Litchfield.
With this lineup, Bowbells people
can be assured Of witnessing some
fine sport in the baseball line this sea-
son. The boys are practicing daily,
and a game is looked for during the
coming week.
The management is corresponding
with numerous ball players with the
view of still further Strengthening the
team.

many ELEVATORS PROMISED
Contractors Will Have q Busy Season
Building Grain StOrages-Car
Shortage Responsible.

That large number of new elevat-
ors will be erected in North Dakota
this year is certain. There will also
be a large number Of additions made
tc the elevators that are already in the
state. The conditions resulting last
fall from the car shortage will be re-
sponsible for the construction of the
new storehouses. In many parts of
the state farmers were obliged to
dump the wheat ON the ground. the
elevators not being large enough to
take care Of the grain. The farmers
will also build large number of
granaries during the summer. Ele-
vator contractors expect to have their
hands full the next three or four
months.

A FREAK OF NEW RATES
Clergymen Can Purchase Inter State
Tickets Cheaper Than They Can
for Local Points in Minnesota.

Crookston Times: New peculiarities
in the applications of the passenger
rate law crop out almost daily. This
morning one of the ministers of the
city called attention to one that at
fected the ministers particularly. He
had just received a communication
from the Transcontinental Clergy
bureau advising him that the clergy
certificate which he holds. and which
gives the benefit of half regular fare
on all railroads of the country, would
not be. honored in purchasing trans
portation between any two points in
the state OF Minnesota or between any
two points in the state of Nebraska,
as the legislatures OF those two states
have enacted laws requiring maxi
mum two-cent fare and the roads in
both states had decided not to allow
a cut rate to any classes This is not
news to our readers as the fact was
generally known that ministers would
have to pay the regular two cents a
mile within this state. but what is of
interest is that the communication
goes on to state that the clergy certi-
ficate would. nevertheless. be honored
for half fare transportation from any
point in either OF the states named
to any point outside OF their bounda-
ries, and vice versa. In other words,
if Crookston minister wished to go
to East Grand Forks and bought his
ticket to that place, he would pay two
cents per mile for it; if, however, he
purchased through ticket from here
to West Grand Forks. he would pay
only one and a half cents per mile
half of the old rate. Hence it would
be wisdom on his part to buy trans
pcrtation farther than he wished to
go. Take the Duluth trip. and con-
siderable saving would be made by
buying to Superior, and doubling
back Odd circumstance. isn't it?

City of Mexico, May 13.-Scores of
