DIVISION OF BUTTE.

Since the railroads have invaded
Butte county in the northern
por.ion of the state move
ment has been started looking
to division of that immense county,
which is larger than some states in
the east. From the northern portion
of the county citizens have to travel
$50 miles by railway to reach the
county seat, and the expense is re-
garded as altogether too heavy
One of the peculiar reasons ad'
vanced for the division of the county
is that the great size of it is bar to
marriages. Hundreds of young men
and women have gone to the north
ern part to file on claims, and 1t is
believed that it will have very strong
tendency to discourage marriages from
the fact that it would require travel
of 100 miles to Belle Fourche. the
county seat, and an expense reaching
at least 500. as so much time would
he consumed in making the long drive
over the country.
Another argument set forth is that
a school superintendent is not able
TO cover the territory at present.
Two of the districts have territory
of 972 square miles respectively. IN
der these conditions and many other
arguments the people of the north
are making a strong bid for county
division.

BROOKiNGS CITIZEN LOSES.

E. II. Williams lost his barn and
granary and nearly the entire crop
of grain by fire last Friday morning.
They were threshing on the last OF
a setting of flax near the farm
buildings when fire was discovered
on the roof of the barn. The fire
dropped through into the barn about
the time it was first seen and in
spite of every effort, nothing but
the dwelling house was saved.
Nearly the whole Of the crop they
were threshing was in the granary
and that with the two buildings and
hay which was stacked near by all
went up in smoke. Mr.. Williams
estimates his loss at $500 or more.
There was from $500 to 5000 in
surance on the property burned and
the rest of the loss will in all proba-
bility fall upon f. A. Brelsford whose
threshing rig was responsible for the
fire.-AurOra Times.

NORTH DAKOTA
IS DEFEATED
At Football by State College
PigSkin Artists
THE GAME WAS HoTly CONTESTED
Charlie Johnson Has an Arm
Broken

The State college football team won
a fine victory over the North Dakota
State college team at Fargo last Fri
day by a score of II to 5. The game
was hard fought throughout and the
showing of the Brookings team was
all the more noteworthy from the
fact that they were playing on foreign
grounds after a hard trip and in ad-
dition Charlie Johnson, the fullback,
was put out of the game with
broken arm on the first down. Cough
lin was shifted to fullback and Pence
went in at halfback. These changes
affected the offense of the team to
a considerable extent and prevented
them scoring at least two more touch
downs. On the defense the work OF
South Dakota was superb and the
home cam never carried the ball for
a greater distance than thirty yards.
Brookings made it's two touchdowns
in clean cut manner, while Fargo
scored on a fluke in the last three
minutes of play. Fargo had punted
to Brookings' 10-yard line and recov-
cred the ball. Brookings l. d
for downs and Coughlin punted to the
4O-yard line North Dakota tried a
long forward pass, which struck on
the shoulder of a Brookings player,
who was watching the opposing end,
and rolled over the goal line, where
a Fargo man fell on it.
HYDE played the entire game at
quarter and gave an excellent account
of himself. being especially strong on
the defense. Coughlin played his
usual great game, although working
in a strange position. During the lat
ter part of the contest he sprained
his ankle and has been out of the
practice this week. Johnson's left
arm was fractured near the wrist and
he will be out of the game the rest
of the season. This fine player seems
to be particularly unfortunate, as he
was unable to play the greater part
of last year on account of injuries.
His loss is a severe blow to the team,
coming as it does on the eve of the
big games.
A Fargo dispatch gives the following
account of the game:
The "Aggies" of the two Dakotas
played here yesterday afternoon for
the championship of the two Dakotas
and the southern twin won. II to D.

they ere we'll drilled. Their inter-
ference was the best shown here for
years and they were fast and charged
hard. The local aggies were some
what crippled after the st. Thomas
game. Their team work was loose
as a result of so many shifts in posi-
tions and their attack was slow in
forming and lacked force. For the
visitors Coughlin was the great star,
while Evan and Darrow did stellar
work for the locals"

A FINANCIAL SUCCESS.

To Judge by the financial success
which historical plays have enjoyed
during the past few years, truth is
undeniably stronger and more inter
esting than fiction. BY no means the
least among the plays of this order
stands the Holy City"--a play not
only historical, but Biblical as well.
During the past four years, this play
has appeared in all of the larger cit
les OF the United States and Canada
and has met with unvarying success
After witnessing this play one has
a clearer understanding of that per-
iod of history wherein our Savior
dwelt on earth in mortal flesh. OF
course, the character of Christ is in
no way portrayed, yet His disciples,
His enemies and all the Biblical char
Iacters essential to the making of a
perfect drama are given flesh and
blood Interpretation by competent
actors.
The play is formed primarily on
the Bible account OF the heralder of
the Messiah, John the Baptist. and the
interest is first awakened by his fear.
less denunciation of King Herod
cd, at all times weak and vascilating,
is still further coerced by Herodias
and the Jewish hign priest into seek,
ing to destroy the Christ as they
have John, and herein the play fol.
lows the Bible story accurately, in
PRODUCING, besides the characters al
ready mentioned. Elizabeth, the moth,
er of John. Salome. Mary Magdalene
Pontius PLATE. Nicodemus, Judas
Isacariot, the disciples, Andrew, Peter
and others. Woven into the entire
fabric of the play is charming love
story, which adds to the religious a
deep heart interest.
