The soldiers then strolled up to the
house and asked Mrs. Douglas to show
them photograph of her son. She
handed them one in civil dress, but
that was not what they wanted. "why

When the affair was reported TO the
officer commanding the cavalry he
laughed and remarked that. having
gone this far, It would be better to
finish the matter properly. SO, calling
on Mr. Douglas. he told him that
guard of six men would be placed in
the house for his protection. and
would, while there, be absolutely under
his orders, so that he was protected
from friend and foe.
The young aid-de-camp rode back to
Jackson's headquarters and found the
general standing In front OF his tent.
Where have you been of to-" was
the first greeting. Douglas had 10Th

and burst out:

have been hanged as a spy II they had

told them my rank and who / was"
II never heard of such thing" said
Jackson. growing still more angry.
NO officer of mine has a right to run
such a risk"
Douglas looked at him moment,
and then demurely remarked IF Gen

a moment, for he would have done just
the same thing"
The great warrior for once was beat

his heel and walked back into his tent.

ment, yesterday forwarded options
on four sites-the Roosevelt site
the lots opposite the Hotel Fay, the
Jetford corner and the corner op-
posite the Central school.
The estimated cost of these vari
Gus sites gave approximately
$1,000 for the corner opposite the
Fay, $4,000 for the site opposite the
Roosevelt, $4,000 for the Jefford
corner and $1,000 for the site Oh.

The consensus of opinion seem.
ingly favors either the corner op.

will doubtless be made by the

In case of the site opposite the

WINS TWO GAMES OF the SERIES.
Virginia Defeats the Alleged nibbinq
Champions IN Two of the Three
Games PLAYED.

Although the village of Hibbine
has advertised that she had the
only real ball team on the Mesabs
and even went so far as to inform
the members of the Lake Superio,
Mining Institute of the alleged fac,
by circular letter, she had the
pleasure of learning that some othe1
towns also had aggregations which
knew a ball from high ball, as
evidenced from the defeat ad
ministered to the west end club on
Friday and again on Sunday by the
Virginia standard bearers.
The Friday game was witnessed
by the members of tire mining
institute and was as pretty game
as one might wish to see, the score
as given in our last issue being 2 TO
in favor of Virginia. In this
game Graham pitched for the win
ners, and but two errors was ac-
credited to either side.
The Saturday game Was comedy
of errors from the fourth inning to
the close, the members of the Vir-
ginia team going to piece at that
stage. But by good luck they man.
aged to keep the Hibbingites down
to a total of only ten scores,
although one to witness the game
could but wonder that thrice ten
was not recorded. And Virginia,
by good playing, succeeded in max
ing record breaking shut-out for
her portion of the glory.
Things were again different on
Sunday, however. and a crowd of
some 700 local fans were among the
rooters at the Hibbing park, going
over on a Great Northern special
to help the boys along. And from
the opening of the game, when with
one man on base Roxy" Walters
swiped out a homer and practically
"cinched' the game with two scores
in the first inning until Hibbing
AAooN q lIc
and avoided a shut-out by a narrow
margin, one would scarce know
there was Hibbing fan in the
grand stand; in fact there was little
use of any of them attempting TO
make themselves heard, for the
local bunch had them faded on the
roofing as badly as the players had
them trimmed on the field. The
score of to 2 was accredited to the
good playing OF the Virginia bunch
at every stage, Graham pitching
fine game and being accorded fine
support at every point.
The next series of the Virginia
team will be with Eveleth, playing
two games with that team tomor-
row and one on Sunday, and while
Eveieth has been strengthened by
a number Of new ones there is little
question of the result, as none of
the range teams can rightly be
placed in the same class with the
Virginia team with its present line
