TO MEET THEIR EQUAL.

The Little Falls Business college
team will take on the fast Anoka high
school quintet at the local Germania
hall next Monday night in what will
undoubtedly prove a very fast and
good basketball game. The Anoka
team has already played over half
dozen games most of which have been
with big teams, including the central
high Of Minneapolis and other qulntets
OF the twin cities. They emerged
from these games with great credit,
and Will present a very formidable
lineup against the local college five.
The local quintet is preparing for
them and with the advantage of play
ing on their own floor will make a
special effort to take the down. river
five IN camp. Berg and johnson will
divide honors at right guard in this
game, and the regular efficient line up
will be used.
1t will be battle royal. and all
lovers OF this sport should not fail to
attend. The Athletic association has
kindly offered to furnish COM
plimentary tickets, to the basket ball
players,- for the dance which the
association will be giving in Maurin s
hall on the same evening.

Been Lifted

closing law and the regular closing
hour each week.d day evening, and that
he would use it against any vlolato1

Crest further states that the saloon
men will have to see that they allow
no habitual drunkard or minor to
enter their emporiums and obtain
liquor there, or it will go hard with
them.
The Anti Saloon league is getting
busy all over the state in like manner.
In regard to Mr.. Grest's notltca-
tion, Mayor Moeglein states that when

thing through. If we never start, we
never Will get it. St. Cloud and
Brainerd have their buildings erected

size In the district. There has been
some talk that Mr. Lindbergh intended

building, which means plenty of
wages to be paid to local workmen,
and structure which will be. an
ornament to the city, should writ te
and encourage the congressman.

SAYS SALOON LIMITATION BILL
WILL PASS.

Thief River Falls: D. P. Ne1ll,
who has been in st. Paul most Of the
winter looking after legislative
matters OF interest to this section Of
the state, says that in his opinion
the bill limiting the number of
saloons in cities and villages OF this
state to one for every 500 population is
sure to pass as it has the support of
the brewers and many OF the temper
ance people. It goes into effect I'M
medlately after its passage but will
not affect saloons that have been
granted license prior to the date OF
passage This will mean that Thief
River Falls will have but eight
saloons in the future instead Of sixteen
as at present. There will be many
more applicants for license than the
council can grant.

THINKS LINDBERGH BETTE
COME HOME.
BETTER

Il Midway News, Rep: Congressman
Lindbergh had better come home. A
man who has not the courage to re-
commend the appointment of suitable
person for postmaster is certainly too
weak to nerve up to the momentous
problems that now confront the
country. # the people have to hold
extra constitutional elections to get
postmaster, then they might just as
we'll govern themselves trans con-
stitutionally all along the line A
man who has no clearer understand
ing Of what IS meant by representa-
tive form Of government than to balk
upon one of the first duties in which it
devolves upon him to act in a
representative capacity is manifestly
not the man for the job. Come home
Mr.. Lindbergh, come home.

THE ELM DALE TELEPHONE
..s COMPANY.

At a meeting of the Elm Dale
Telephone company last week c.. F.
Ahlberg, J. J. Jacobson, Ben Blumme
and V. s. Himsl were elected officers
of the company, and it was decided to
make arrangements with the North
western Telephone company for long
distance connections on basis of even
toll exchange, according to the Hold
ingford Advertiser. The promoters of
the farmers telephone line are
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
company, and believe that arrange
ments can be made with the North
western Telephone company on this
basis.
An inquiry reveals the fact that
this is a matter to be- taken up with
the Morrison County Telephone COM
pany, Of which John Stroman is
manager, and who says that no such
proposition has as yet been made him,
andthat furthermore long distance con-
nections on this basis, would be
entirely Unsatisfactory to his com
|pany.

ALL STARS" DEFEATED
Business College Takes
Them Into Camp by the
Score of 81 to 23

In fast and exciting basket ball
game at the Germania hall Tuesday
evening the City Ali Stars five went
down TO defeat % to 81 at the hands of
the Business college quintet. Tho
game was great deal better than
the score would indicate, as the All
Stars did excellent work in blocking
and passing, but had very poor luck in
shooting goals. So interesting was
the game that the time keeper had
forgotten to- keep track of the time
played IN the first half, intent on see
ing every movement Of the game, and
consequently the twenty minute half
extended to: thirty minutes or more.
This extra time operated very much
to the. disadvantage of the ALL Star
team. as its members, not being in
the best of condition, were
greatly outwinded by the college FIVE,
VINO are as hard as nails. During the
trst twenty minutes playing of this
half the city team was ahead q few
points, but in the remainder of the
half the college five took squirt and
when the first half was ended the
score was II to Is in favor OF the
college boys. johnson was in at right
guard on the college quintet in the
place of Edward Berg, who was not IN
condition for the fray, being some
what under the weather. and did
noble work throughout the game.
Stoll OF the All Star five had his
shoulder hurt early in the first half, so
Drosky played his Losition at tight
guard IN the second half. Loren
Roberts, who played certer for the
city team, with his seven feet in
height, proved formidable adversary
for Griffith. A feature of the game
was the team work between Hall,
Crest and johnson of the college team
in the last half. The game ended 81
to % in favor of the business college.
The latter. team was awarded a point
in this halt.

ARRESTED. FOR ARSON
Hugh Kennedy Of Randall
Held Over to Grand
Jury

Hugh Kennedy OF Randall was ar
rested Wednesday by Sheriff Arm
strong on charge of arson in the first
degree. Kennedy has been serving a
jail sentence for drunkenness and as
soon as his time expired was re-
arrested!
There have been several suspicious
TRES IN Randall and there are SAID to
be indications of plot which involves
several well-known residents of the
village A detective has been at work
andt some startling developments are
expected. The present case is likely
to open up several more.
The : charge is that Kennedy at
tempted to burn a dwelling -on the
night OF Jan. 22nd. His mother was
in the house at the time. The fire was
discovered in time and put out before
much damage could be done. The
hearing began Wednesday and was
concluded yesterday afternoon.
Andrew Hiscock testified to con-
versar1on with Kennedy the night
before the fire, and Kennedy had told
him there was 500 in it to set the
barn on fire. and it had to 70 that
night, and the house next day, and
the whole town ought to be burned.
Mrs. Kennedy, the pri ison RS
mother, testified that she and her sol,
were alone IN the house. After gong
to bed She smelled smoke and tried to
put out the fire with water. Her son
was On the couch apparently un-
dressed.
Geo. Miller and Frank Snider were
at tie fire, felt OF stove and found it
cold.
Defendant was represented by F. w.
Lyon. He was bound over to the
grand jury at the March term in $500
bonds, and not being able to get them,
was committed to jail
The stories afioat show a strange
condition of affairs at Randall. and
the elements Of revenge and COM
lnercial jealousy are said to be factors.
The trial is likely to bring some
things out IN regard to conditions IN
the enterprislng village which will
be- surprising.
