At the Congregational church next
Sunday, in the absence of the pastor.
Rev. w. ]. Brown, the pulpit will be

Skating Rink

Along the lines of amusements for the
winter a new feature is to be added to
the list in q few days. For the past
week P. Mckinley has been busy making
arrangements for skating rink which
will ,be appreciated by many of the
young people of the city.
The rink is located on--tbe corners of
Willard and Cross streets just west of
Carroll Bros livery stable. a very good
site for such an enterprise. The space
to be flooded will give an ice surface of
over 600 square feet, which will be
sufficient to accommodate good crowd
of skaters
% A hikh beard fence will surround the
rink and IL necessary the enclosure will
be equipped with electric lights Seats
will be arranged along the inside of the
fence to make things convenient for pa
irons. A skating rink has been agi-
tated for the past two winters but this is
the first real move in that direction and
if the project is carried through accord
ing to plans it is bound to be sue
cess to the proprietor and fine place Of
amusement. for several hundred people
during the winter season. 7&sa'

Basket Ball Friday

The second basket ball game of the
season was scheduled to take place in
the armory last evening between Co. X
and Glen Ullin. 1t was the general
opinion of the loyal supporters of Co.
X that the visitors would meet defeat.
although it was not known what sort of
a team Glen Ullin would send up.
The local boys have been practising
several times week and have become
well acquainted with each others curves
and now play more as a team than
individually.
After the first of January the Co. X
team will lose one of its strongest men
and main supports. Welland Orchard.
Mr.. Orchard expects to 60 away to school
about the first Of the year and so will
leave the city. His departure from the
team will be greatly missed and as
there are but two opportunities of seeing
the boys play with their present lineup,
counting in the game last evening, the
public should take advantage of this
fact.
A dance was to have been held after
last evenings game.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Stoll. is
the victim of a cancer. The little girl
is exceptionally bright and very capable
for one of her age and it is very sad

physicians she will return here for. the
operation. Heru uncle. John Lob, accom-

New Guns

The new guns which the Dickinson
Rifle club ordered from the government,
arrived here Monday. There are u in
the lot and they are the Model 1908,
Springfield rifles of the same pattern as
recently adopted by the u. S. army.
BY becoming branch Of the National
Rifle association it was possible for the
Dickinson club to secure these rifles and
a special price has been made. 1t is
expected now that some exceptionally
good scores will be made as the gums
are 80 much more modern and power
full than those which have been in use.
The price paid for the guns was SIG. rs
apiece.
Arrangements are being made for a
shooting match between Co. X and the
club in the near future but the complete
details have not yet been arranged.

GARRETT GUILTY
Jury Brings in This Verdict at
Federal Court in Fargo. Con-
victed of Raising Money Order
on Local Postofice.

A verdict of guilty was brought in
Wednesday afternoon in the case of the
United States vs Richard A. Garrett,
who was indicted on a charge of raising
q money order in Dickinson from 81 to
$40. The case was on trial in the
federal court at Fargo several days the
first of the week. The verdict was re-
turned by the jury at S 80 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon. after the men had been
out several hours. In returning the ver-
dict, the jury asked the judge to be
lenient in sentencing the criminal.
The attorney for the defense, M. A.
Hildreth. put up an argument of insanity
in behalf of his client. Garrett
claimed that he is sickly and that sever
al times he had been overcome by close
application to stenographic work and
had been compelled to quit work.
The case was prosecuted by u. S.
Attorney Rourke, who endeavored to
prove that Garrett was shiftless drifter
and that he kept constantly changing
his place of employment.
1t will be recalled that Garrett was
employed here as steno&rapher in the
Office of the N. P. trainmaster He
purchased 81 money order at the local
postoffice payable to Judge Crawford and
soon after raised it to $40 and succeeded
in getting Charles Nolan to cash it.
The crime was quickly discovered by Mr..
Nolan. and Garrett was arrested but a
short time after cashing the order. by
Chief of Police Corbett.
Local people who were summoned to
Fargo to testify in the case were Assis-
tant Postmaster Miss Rose O'Donnell,
Chief of Police Corbett. Charles Nolan
and Sheriff T. N. Hartung. The case
was first called two or three weeks age
but was put over until this. week.

GREAT BASKETBALL
Dickinson to See Great Western
Team. Oregons to Stop Off
Here. To Play for Worlds
Championship in the East.

By q special arrangement. the people
of Dickinson will soon have an oppor-
tunity of seeing basket ball played by
a crack team, such basket ball as is the
equal of any team in the United States.
Few people in this part of the country,
who are up in sporting news, have not
heard of the Oregons. the champion bas-
ket ball team of the Pacific Slope. For
-four years they have been winning vic
tories and adding to their laurels. This
team is now on its way TO New York
state, where series Of games will be
played for the worlds championship.
and they are arranging games with
teams in towns along their route. They
will play Co. X in the armory Tuesday
evening, December %.
While the game will of course be a
walk over for the Oregons, it will accom-
plish two purposes. By having an oppor-
tunity of playing against such a famous
quintet of basket ball players, the men,
bers of the Co. X team will gain an ex-
perience of inestimable value and will
pick up many points which will greatly
improve their work. In the second place.
it will give the people of Dickinson a
chance to see real basket ball, such
playing as they will probably never
have another chance cf witnessing in
this city. These players know the game
from the word 60 and no one should miss
seeing them play.
The Oregons come from Dallas, Ore
gon. and are all college players. They
have been playing together for four years
and during that time have lost but one
game. Last year they won the cham
pionship of the Pacific Coast and when
they reach Dickinson on the 10Th. they
will be champions of Montana. Wyom-
ing, Oregon, Washington and South
Dakota. They come here from Billings
and will play, besides Dickinson, in this
state, Valley City. jamestown and
Fargo. The team is made up of the
following members: Shaw, center
Savory and Morton. guards; Rice. Reed
and Fenton, forwards. Shaw is acknow-
lodged by Spalding. the great authority
on sports in his latest book on basket
ball, as the greatest basket ball player
in the world. Rice is the idol of Ore
eon, which is called one of the most
enthusiastic basket ball states in the
Union. He is only Is years old and is
carried as a member of the team at the
popular demand of that state. He is q
wizard at throwing fouls and has al.
most the worlds record. The team
carries it's own referee, B. A. Teats,
who is one of the greatest referees in
this country.
Harvey B. Stout. the advance repre-
sentative Of the team, was in the city
this week, arranging the details. HI

The young ladies in the Seminary
