HAD LEAD FOR FIRST HALF BUT
stS FELL DOWN IN THE SECOND
a*554s &. HALF.
Game Was Fast and Interesting and
Was, Witnessed BY Crowd Of Two
Hundred Football Fans.

jamestown College won the return
game from rort Lincoln soldiers OF
Bismarck in the foot ball contest
played at the college Monday after
noon, the score being 16 to 6. The
first athletic event upon Allen field
was victory for the college and was
witnessed by over two hundred enthu-
siastic foot bail followers. 1t was a
clean victory, the better team win
ming. There were few penalties and
no unnecessarily rough play. James,
town won on its merits, gaining
steadfastly on line plays and runs and
forward passes. Several pretty ex-
hibitions of new foot ball were seen
in the second half when the James
town College foot ball machine got
under way. X
In the first half Fort Lincoln scored
touch down near the close of the
period, a soldier falling upon the ball
after a kick by. Buland had been
blocked, the Jamestown quarter punt
ing from behind his own goal. The
visitors added another point by kick
ing the goal.
Jamestown scored soon after Har-
rington crossing the goal on a fake
line buck carrying the ball around the
end. The goal was missed and the
half ended to in favor of Fort
Lincoln. There was some dispute
over this score as the Fort Lincoln
man was off side but jamestown re-
fused the penalty and took the game
in accordance to the rules.
In the second half the Collegians
overcame the lead and scored two
touchdowns, both by Buland after
Jordan and Severn had smashed the
line for steady gains down the field.
Smith kicked one goal making the
score is to 6.
~ jamestown College lined up with
Harrington and Smith ends, Paulson

ute to Mrs. Owens, abiding to her
life in connection with the city
schools and as vital factor in our
social life. Then, as momento OF
our esteem, he presented our guests
of honor with an artistic oil painting
a token from true friends.
Mr.. Owens responded very appreci-
atively, touching upon many of the
points alluded to by Mr.. Schoregge.
He spoke in a most complimentary
way of the congenial relations that
have existed here, not alone in bus
mess way, but in social as well.
His appreciation Of the event was
more than apparent and no doubt
existed as to his high regard for the
Balfour people 1t is evident that he
sewers his business relations with us
with reluctance, though 1T is only ma
tural to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity now open to him in the CAPT.
tai city.
It comes to us from reliable author
ity that MI. Owens has secured a
splendid Office in the Tribune build
ing and that he will be in a better
position than ever before to accom-
modate customers who have faith In
the fertile soil Of the great west"
The other newspaper, the States

ENGINEER INJURED
In wreck / [ W | D

TRAIN THREATENS TO TURN
X L OVER AND HURTS BACK, y /.
TWO Engines and Baggage Car Of Ne.
: Left the Track At Pierce Station
Last Evening.

While going through Pierce, blind
siding about Ave miles east of here
last evening passenger tarin No. 5,
west bound, left the track and two
engines and a bagsage car were
left in position which threatened
every minute to result in q tip-over
1t seems that the track has been in
poor condition for some time owing
to the fact that a small stream run.
ming by the road was eating into the
grade. The company has been try
ing to remedy the trouble and slow
orders were issued to all trains, and
No. S was proceeding very slowly
over the bad spot. 0
When the train came along last
evening the track had sunk and the
rails spread and the two engines and
the first two cars were let down onto
the ground and came very near tip
ping over.
Tom Farmer, the engineer on the
second engine, saw he was headed for
the ditch, and not having control OF
the air he jumped in an effort to save
himself from being buried under the
big engine. In alighting he in some
way injured his back and was taken
on No. l which went around the
wrecked train, and brought to this
city where he was taken to the hos
pita1.
There were no other injuries result
ing from the spill and the train was
put on the track by the wrecking train
which was sent over from Mandan,
and arrived in this city only few
hours late.
Mr.. Farmer was taken to the Bis
marck hospital where he was examin-
ed by DR.. Smyth. 1t was stated at
an early hour this morning that his
injuries might prove > more serious
than was at first anticipated, as it is
possible that there is an internal hem
orraghe.
The slee2ers, dining car and one
day coach of the wrecked train was
brought to the city at l O'Clock this
morning and the rest of the train
had not been put on the track as
yet. ~
