NOT ALL ARE FANS
IN CITY:OF BROCKET

The sporting editor of the Brockett
News was handed boquet last week
by one OF his subscribers who does
not like the idea of deyoting so much
space to base ball, and from the write
apps that the News have had about
the ball team we can hardly blame
the subscriber for kicking. We have
been informed that the readers of the
paper prefer the base ball writeups
rather than to read democratic appeals
for campaign funds. When a paper
that only furnishes its readers with
six columns every week devotes four
of them to base ball and the rest to
Democratic rot" about the appeals
of the peerless one for campaign
funds we hardly blame the readers
for kicking. Following is the letter
that was written to the News: =

The Devils Lake team went to Grand
Forks Sunday and played the Pick
etts to standstill but it was impos-
sible to beat them when it has been
understood that the umpire had money
bet ON the game. The team repre-
senting Devils Lake was the strongest
that could possibly be picked from this
section of the state and they went to
the Forks with a determination to
make the far-heralded Picketts bite
the dust and the game was a sensa,
tional one for it took twelve long in,
nings to decide who were the masters
of the national game. Indian Roy who
pitched such sensational ball here fol-

Mr.. SMITH SPEAKS

We are in receipt Of letter from
Mr.. Ed A. Smith, formerly editor of
the Free Press in Devils Lake, relative
to the article which appeared in our
columns recently with regard to the
case which Mr. Smith has up for trial
with Ramsey county as defendant.
We are free to admit that we may
have misstated the case but if so it
was done through a misunderstanding
of the case and with no other purpose
and we are glad to allow Mr.. Smith
the privilege of stating the case as
he claims it is. The letter follows:
Editor Inter-Ocean:-
In your comments in my civil case
against the county, which was heard
in the district court at Devils Lake
last week, you have got your inform
alton badly mixed, as to my authority
to do the work. Your comment says
Il relied on the designation of my
paper to publish the tax list as my
authority to publish the election re-
turns and the food list This is en-
tirely wrong, as an examination of
the pleadings will show. / relied upon
the fact that my paper had complied
with all the requirements OF the laws
of the state as to its legal or Official
character, and was therefor one of
the papers authorized and required
, by those laws to do the work. i got
no authority from the county commits
sioners, as they had no authority in
the matter to give out, no more than
; the probate court had. The state law
! provides that these matters should be
! published @in the official newspapers
of the county" and my contention in
! this case is that the Free Press was
| one" of those s'ohcial newspapers,
:, not made SO by the county commits
| sioners but by compliance with the
/ requirements of the laws of the state
i The designation to publish the tas
list has no bearing in the matter, ex
cept to show that the county had once
recognized the Free Press as an Off
ciaI newspaper, and could not vel
deny it afterward @s* &..5:. s T.: .S& ,*s:@$
