man whose word IS as good as his

charge such man with extravaganza,
as Fuller has done, is an insult to the
people of Little Falls, among whom
Andrew johnson has lived for many
years. Mr.. Sprandel is a brick manu-
facturer residing in Pike Creek,
although he has large interests in
Little Falls. He has always been on
the best of terms with his employees,
and is greatly respected by all in Pike
Greek. He is shrewd and far
sighted business man. To imply that
he would be e1travagant is as silly a
charge as could be made, and could
only come from bitter and un-
princlpled partisan Mr.. Virnig has
been hard-working farmer He
knows what thrift and economy mean,
and his work on the board has been
fair and square. All three are worthy
citizens. No one seriously questions
the election Of all by decisive and

SMALL FIRE IN FIRST WARD.

s.
The residence Of Herman Vierk,
located on the corner of Fifth street
and Second avenue southeast, occupied
by the family of Henry Gedney, was
the scene of q fire Wednesday morning
shortly after 9 o'clock The family
had gone out, leaving q hot fire IN the
kitchen stove. In some unaccountable
manner fire caught to basket of
kindling in the corner over four feet
from the stove, and when discovered
by neighbors the flames had burned
two holes in the ceiling, one in the
corner and the other near the chimney.
Hub Friesiger, who was IN that
neighbo1 hood at the time, was called
to the scene He broke down the door
and, with the help of others, ex-
tingulshed the flames. While it lasted
the fire was so hot that it cracked the
windows, and cooked some tomatoes
that where on shelf on the opposite
side of the room. We were unable to
find out whether there was any
insurance on the house or furnishings.
Damage will amount to about $35.

Fuller afterward retracted what he
said about Lindbergh, because the tall

Fuller takes some remarks made by
Congressman Lindbergh, and attaches
to it lot of loony stuff about Vasaly
and some other 1olks whose crime is,
first, that they are democrats; second,
that they have persistently attacked
Fuller corruption. When Fuller can
get G. A. Lindbergh to publicly
endorse such rot, he may feel
warranted in dragging the congress
man into the game now to resusti-
cate Fuller. It is notifying to the
great mass OF republicans to see such
an individual assume to speak for the
republican party. This assumption is
considered an insult and will be pro-
perly resented. Fuller abused Lind
bergh like horsethief. He said L.
D. Brown was a wretch. He has
maligned and insulted every re-
publican that exhibited any indepen-
dence. There are few on the present
republican county ticket that have not
used stronger terms in speaking of
Fuller than any democrat ever did.
For such man to claim to be leader
of Morrison county republicans is not
only shame, but is momental and
unparalleled effrontery and impudence.

st. Cloud journal Press: The

served notice Of appeal to the United

Fred Was case. This is the case
which involves several thousand acres
|of land located in TODD and Morrison

the company claims ownership to a
large number of valuable farms on an
old land grant The farmers who had
spent thousands Of dollars in making
Improvements of their property put up
q fight on the case and retained p. B.
Gorman of this city to look after their
interests = 'e
In the answer filed by the defendant
settlers they deny all Of the CLAIMS
made by the Northern Pacific. The
company then filed a demurrer to
these claims.
Taylor at Long Prairie last fall and
the demurrer was then overruled. An
appeal was taken to the supreme court
and the settlers again won.
A writ Of error cannot be taken to
the supreme court of the United States
from the ruling of the state supreme
court as it stands now on the record.
The company must first appeal from
the Judgment entered in Todd county,
in July last, to the state supreme court
and thence by writ of error to the
! supreme court of the United Safes
! The case was argued on its merits
and at length when the demurrer was
before the supreme court in June, and
while it appears that. the same work
must be done all over again from the
beginning, still it is SO only In form,
as there is nothing to be done in the
way of argument or otherwise, except
ITO file such papers as are required to
carry the case forward to a place on

Pahsade Athletic Club Trims Crack
Englewood Team.

The P. A. c. boys journeyed to En-
glewood on the evening OF December
9th and engaged the crack Englewood
five at basket ball, the score being Fl
to Is. AS a game it was worth the
price and was fierce from start to nm
ish. The Englewood boys ran away
with the play in the early part of the
first half, having all the luck, besides
showing a better knowledge of the
hall, and also playing better game.
At one stage of this half the score
stood II to for Englewood, but the
p. A. c. boys took brace and ended
the work with the score Is to II in
Englewood's favor.
In the second half Palisade scored
first making it IS to a. Then Engle-
wood made a goal and the score was
II to II. Palisade got busy again, but
couldn't score till Englewood made
another basket, when the score was
10 to "a. After that the P. A. c. team
played beautifully, and finally tied the
score at twenty all. Then foul was
called on Englewood and Brady shot
a goal from field making the score
2I to 20 in favor of Palisade. Then
it went to % to 20, then Englewood
got a foul on Palisade, made a goal,
and soon after scored again, tielng
the score at 20 to %. Before the half
was over each side scored a goal, and
the second half halted with the score
a tie, IS each.
In the final period the Palisade
Athletic Club team scored first and
the game ended FL to rs. The game
was a rafting good one, and full of
thrilling interest. There was a good
crowd from Palisade and the home
boys had ample encouragement Oar
by, Brady, Dwiggins, Grant, Lack and
Logan all played we'll, and their work
proved that the P. A. c. has the ma

Notes on the Game.

Edgar Darby is a peppery player,
and holds his own against any.
Berney Brady was clever at shoot
ing for goal, besides being strong and
fast on the floor.
Bert Lack played the first half and
was replaced by Ray Dwiggins in the
second.
Denison Grant is a clean, fast play
er, and promises to develop we'll.
There was lack of team work, to
a certain extent, among the P A. c.
boys, but their speed told.
Charles Logan enjoys the game, and
goes at it with vim.
Ray Dwiggins has the blocking OF
his antagonist down to a fine point.
He is sure to be a clean, fast player.
1t rather took the nerve out Of the
Englewocd boys the way the P. A. C..
team climbed up and finally won out.
