Straight from White
4: Sox M

Two ball games worthy Of note were
pulled off last Friday and Saturday when
the Black Sox won two straight from the
White Sox. Fridays game, according
to the official score, showed IS tallies on
the black against i on the white and on
Saturday the operation was repeated to
the tune Of . to S. B.
Capt. Ray Mccall has been busy with
his bunch Of colts and has reason to be-
lieve that he will have a strong team
after q little more training. If they wish
to keep up their reputation, they must be
stronger because Vern McC Cutchan is not
allowing his prairie trotters, to get very
rusty for the want Of exercise. Each
team has games to its credit and the
boys know that they must work to win. L
The lineup for the last game was as
follows: White Sox-Vern McCutchan
{, Wayne Klinefelter p, Alonzo Nichols
SIS, Tony Kostelecky Id, Willie Nc,
Cutchan 2b, George Wilson 3b, Leayitt
Butler If, Robert Rudiselle cf, and

George Gotta If.
These boys take advantage Of every
spare minute for practice and It may be
but few years when some Of them will
be called upon to defend Dickinson's
title to the championship for the west

Fight is on in Dunn.
East End Settlers
Want Seat Of
Government
: At y, E Connolly, Seven y

Manning &

S Last oatuIQay morning Judge WlAr
chester issued a writ of nandamus com
pelling the commissioners Of Dunn
county to call. a special election for the
purpose of voting on whether or not the
court house Of Dunn county, now located
at Manning, shall beremoved to Connolly.
The case was argued in chambers, and
Judge w. c. Crawford of this city and
F. E. McCurdy, states attorney Of Dunn
county, argued against the proposition,
while it was supported by Attorneys
Hanley Of Mandan and r. N. Stevens 81
Bismarck. &
: It was expected that Judge Winches.
ter would take the action he did as il
paves the way for another step in this
important legal controversy. It is sup;
posed that the commissioners Of Dunn
county will, at a meeting not later than
May 9, refuse to obey the order, when
the case will 60 direct to the supreme
court on habeas corpus proceedings. The
supreme court will be in session at Bis,
marck on the 18th which gives an op;
portunity for getting a decision at an
early date, desired by both sides. Il
If the courts hold that the general Law
governs in the case. then it will require
a two-thirds vote to remove the county
seat. Some contend that the special
law enacted to fit conditions in Billings
county governs, in which event MAORI
Ety vote would decide. It is. probable
that an election can be held in the heal
future, and whether a majority or two
thirds vote is required. will be settled By
the supreme court.
Connolly is down the river about ]
miles, OF nearly half way between Man
ming and Rockspring, and is naturally
supported for the. permanent count,
seat by the settlers living in the eastern
part Of Dunn county.
) twill be remembered that when Gov
Burke granted the organization Of Dunn
county last fall he reserved his decision
on the location OF the county seat fol
some time. The petitioners from the
west and north, for Manning, seemed tc
have the largest number Of legal signers
and finally won. s5 e.. s
Without doubt it would have been bet
ter for all parties concerned if a com
promise had been made. The people o.
the east do not claim, as the Press un
derstands. that the geographical cente,
of Dunn county is more than I to Il
miles from Manning.
The commissioners Of the county have
been very careful about Sincurring an.
Unnecessary expense in the way of per
manent Improvements until after the
question Of removal shall have been set

Employed. oPeing Lot Sale
q Tuesday, May as

Several business men have recently
made trips along the new Milwaukee
and through the country south and in
kevery instance were greatly surprised in
1.-THE development of the country. In
Espeaking of the new towns, one man
Rwho has watched the progress of devel-
[opement says that Scranton will be the
|lbest town between the two rivers" and
|tgives some very good reasons.
"At Scranton there is one of the best
coal mines in the state. The mine
|ppened last year by the Consolidated
|Eoal Co. has vein Of the finest quality
|pt Ignite, q feet in thickness, and the
company has standing contracts with the
e. M. & St. P. r. X. Co. for 1000 cars.
The railroad company use this coal at
|round houses, pumping stations and for
every purpose, except for locomotives.
The mining plant when completed and
|installed will cost $4,000 and the Consol-
idated Coal Co. expects to employ 900
men, working on the double-shift plan,
at the mines."
h "The Consolidated Coal Co. has been
Asking for freight rate on Ignite coal
for several months and the C.rM. & St.
Paul R. R. Co. has granted such a rea-
sonable rate to all points along the road,
effective June 2nd, that the consumers
in South Dakota will be able to use the
Scranton coal very extensively"
"The clay industry at Scranton is an
other drawing card. The Scranton Fire
& Pressed Brick Co., recently incorpor
ated for $500, 900, has some of South Da-
kota's best men behind it. The clay for
fire and pressed brick is of the finest
quality, and the supply is unlimited.
Another firm, the Scranton Brick Co., is
putting in plant at the present time.
Vs.. Simms, who has charge of the
work, is one of the best brick men in the
country. He has put in ~ plants in the
southern states and five in North Dako-
ta,5 and every plant is a success. The
two firms will employ $50 men."
Scranton is IS miles east of Bowman
and the same distance west of Reeder
Saltwater, seven miles north, and Haley
eleven miles south, represent two of the
best farming communities in western
North Dakota and the business from
these districts will naturally 20 to Scran.
ton, The Grand River State. Bank, fol
several years located at Haley. is now
permanently located and doing good
business at Scranton.
Star line stage routes are to start from
Scranton south to Haley and points in
South Dakota as well as points north
this summer.
The date for the opening sale of lots
has been set for May 26. The c. M. &
st. P. will run two excursion trains from
ST. Paul, the Western Land Securities
Co. will run one from the same point
two cars will leave Fargo the 25th and
the automobiles have been chareredtc to
take prospective buyers from Dickinson.
The sale will no doubt be one Of the
largest on the new Milwaukee.

President Stickney took occasion. Ito
thank the members for. their hearty
cooperation the past year and an
nounced that he could not serve longer
in his present capacity but that. he
would always be glad 70 help further the
best interests of the club IN any way
possible. 2Sss 4
Mr.. Burnett reported that the com
mittee had not made much headway 50
far in the purchase Of new furniture.
He thought that pool and billiard tables
could be purchased at about $500 each
and that it would be good thing to
arrange for the purchase Of such as soon
as possible. President Stickney said
that he wanted a full expression of the
members iii order that the trustees
might know the wish Of the Club in the
matter. Mr. Osborn suggested that
tables be purchased and that nominal
fee be charged members Who used them.
Mr.. Hilliard gave the members the
benefit of his experience in different
club rooms in cities. and II was decided
that it would not be advisable to make
any charge TO members and their guests.
The idea is TO make the Commercial
Club rooms attractive and thereby in-
crease the membership. The members
voted 70 make the purchase Of tables. n
