gave SELF UP
Dickinson Dog Licenser Skipped
Out with $40 of Fees but up
on Reaching St. Paul Gave
Himself up to Police.

W ord was received by Chief of Police
P. B. Corbett on Monday that a man
had given himself up to the police at
St. Paul. claiming that he was Peter
Haney and that he had stolen $40 from
the city of Dickinson. Last week the
official city dog licenser, Robert Schmidt.
also known as the hot dog peddler, left
these parts with the sum of $40 which he
had collected in licenses and which
should have been turned over to the
city. It was an easy matter to identify
the St. Paul arrest as Schmidt and
Chief Corbett has gone down to the city
to bring the prisoner back to Dickinson.
Schmidt Yves appointed to his position
some weeks ago but had never perform
ed many Of his duties. In fact the $40
which he took with him included all
the license fees he had collected. He
evidently took the train to St. Paul and
upon getting out at the depot his con-
science began to trouble him. for he
gave himself up to police officer there
at the station. During the winter he
did quite little business selling hot
frankfurters and sandwiches on the
street and in the hotels and public
places. 1t is thought his mind is not
quite right.

CROWLEY WILL OPEN
DRUG STORE IN CITY

Another drug store is to be opened in
Dickinson in the near future. D. v.
Crowley of Wimbledon will move his
drug store from that city to this place
and will be located in the store on
First Avenue West which has been
occupied by Mrs. j. L. Brown for many
years. Mr.. Crowl ey has been talking
of coming here for couple of months
and several different sites have been
reported as possible locations. This
will make five drug stores on this side

UNDERTAKERs LOCATE
IN MARSH BUILDING

Messrs. Boulger & Hughes have finished
the repair work on the Marsh building
on First Avenue east and have trans
formed the place into an up-to-date
undertaking establishment. At any
time an undertaking establishment does
not appeal to person and the majority
of people are willing to let the other
fellow do the shopping for them. Such
places are as necessary as schools and
churches and the manner in which the
proprietors have fitted up their room in
the Marsh building will make the duty
of caring for deceased friends or relatives
much easier.
The show room is arranged in such
manner that person need have no
especial horror as it looks about the same
as any Office or reception room. Cabinets
have been installed on each side OF
the room in such a manner that the
caskets may be displayed, one al time
by opening door. that swings down
and then serves as support for the
casket. At the present time twelve
styles of large caskets are carried be-
sides several styles of smaller ones.
The firm owns the new hearse that was
purchased last year by the Dickinson
Undertaking Co. AS whole there is
no better equipped establishment of
it's kind in the state.

farewell RECEPTION
FOR COMPANY K BOY

Last Saturday evening the members of
Co. X basket ball team rendered a
farewell reception to Clarence Campbell
at the armory. Nearly all of the COM
pany were present and helped to give
their comrade a rousing sendoff.
A banquet was served in the armory
dining room with covers for forty. Capt.
Osborn acted as toastmaster and several
complimentary speeches were made.
Mr. Campbell has been member of
the company for about two years and
Captain Osborn stated that it would be
a hard matter to find men who could
do any better than the one who was
about to leave the company. His record
as member of the basket ball team
was equally good and he will be sorely
missed at the center.
Mr.. Campbell was presented with q
handsome gold watch fob as a token Of
esteem and was showered with the good
wishes of the entire company.

NOT ENOUGH sleNERs
TO GRAIN PETITION

At their quarterly meeting this week,
the Stark county commissioners decided
not 10 take any action in the matter of
furnishing seed grain to those farmers of
the county who have petitioned for it.
at least not at this time. While few
may desire to avail themselves of the
recent law, it looks as though most of
the farmers were able to buy their own
seed. The law requires that one
hundred free holders of the county must
petition the board to issue bonds of
the county for the purchase of seed
wheat for the inhabitants who. by
reason of drouth, hail or other cause,
had total or partial failure of crops the
preceding year and are in need Of seed
Grain and unable to procure it. The
petition must be filed on before the 18th
of April.
At recent meeting of the commits
sioners several citizens of the county
appeared before the board and found
out what steps were necessary. How
ever when the petitioners were counted
up this week it was found that there
were only 40, total of so less than the
required number.

we'll MATCHED
High School Basketball Teams
End Closely Contested Season
First Teams Won Most of
Games, But By Close Scores.

Thursday evening also saw the close of
the series of basketball games which
the two teams of high school boys have
been playing during the winter. These
games, as far as closeness of score goes,
have been even more exciting than
those of the Co X team and all those who
have followed the basketball this winter
have been fully as interested in watch
ing the high school boys play as the
regular team.
The boys who have made up the first
team have all been older and quite a
little larger than the hoys of the second
team and have consequently won most
of the games. The smaller boys, how
ever have played excellent basketball
and have made their opponents 60
some and many of the games were won
by superiority of strength and size rather
than by superiority of playing. In
fact the second team, from the stand
point of good basketball, has outplayed
the first team on many occasions.
Out of six games played the first team
has won five and one game has been a
tie.

ripped up for about three train lengths
but the rails were not broken and the
balance of the train passed over safely.
The passengers were given bad scare
and were some shaken up but no one

TEAM ENDS
ITS SEASON
Company K Basketball Team
Plays Nine Games Sat-
isfactory-Good Prospects for
Excellent Team Next Year.

With Thursdays game between Co.
Giof Valley City and Co. X of Dickinson.
the local basket ball season closed.
While it has not been a season remark
able for the number of victories made
by the local team, the season has been
a success and the sport has start in
this city which it is hoped will lead to
something better next year. 1t has been
some years since basket ball has been
played in Dickinson and when the idea
was first taken up it was rather difficult
to find enough good material. Several
of the candidates were green at the
game and had to start at the very begin
ming and by learning the first principles,
work up to the point where they could
play we'll enough to meet an opposing
team in public.
The practice started weeks before the
first game and there were hours of hard
wo,k necessary to think of playing any
outside team. Roy Baird and Welland
Orchard were practically the only two
players who had had any experience
Both of them were old hands at the
Dame and they succeeded in training
the bunch of raw material and making
creditable team out of them.
The season opened November 28 and
eight games have been played of which
were victories and defeats. A num-
Der of games scheduled were not played
and there was considerable difficulty in
getting opposing teams in this part of
the state. The following is list of
the DANES nlaved and the reslllta.

NOVEL WINDOW ATTRACTS
the PUBLIC ATTENTION

The arrangement of the show window
in the jewellery department of the store
of T. j. Greene & Co. this week has
attracted no end of attention from
passers by and is without doubt one of
the most novel effects ever shown by a
Dickinson firm. The window will remain
only two days more, until Monday,
which will be the last chance to see the
first electric railroad ever in Dickinson
in operation.
The window was designed and
arranged by the jeweler. W. H. Hueseen.
and represents an electric line of the
three rail system on which is run by the
current small car. The whole window
is graded and terraced and covered with
Green, forming a pleasing background
for the display of jewellery. At the
back is scene representing mountains
and lake, with two tunnels, one at
either end. In one corner has been
arranged lake of real water, contain
ing live gold fish, over which is a
bridge. At the other end is the depot
and platform. The car enters the
tunnel on one side, comes out the other
tunnel, crosses the bridge and passes
the station and thence into the tunnel
again. 1t has pleased and amused both
young and old who stand in crowds in
front of the window at all times.

MACNAMARA.

The shipments for the week from
the MacNamara averaged a car a
day, making total of seven cars
sent to the Western Ore Purchasing
company at Millers. More than the
usual amount of development work
has been carried on on the 200, 20
and 3O0-foot levels, and in several of
the workings new operations have
been started. During the week the
No. stope level has been driven east
in the ore and is being continued
Two crosscuts are being driven on
the 3OO-foot level west and on the
275-foot level the northwest drift was
advanced a distance of about twenty
| four feet, where the face has now
started to show some fair values.
The ore for shipping was extracted
in No. 5B stope on the 200-foot level
and in Nos. and 2B slopes on the
| 275-foot level.
The shaft was sunk twenty-foul
feet curing the week and is now
down a total depth of 1872 feet below
the collar. The formation in the bot
tom remains unchanged.

TONOPAH BELMONT.

The most sensational result of the
weeks work in the Belmont was the
of the values in the string
ers recently cut in the crosscuts on
the 11O0-foot level The stringers
average from three to twelve inches
in width and will assay $235 to the
ton. They were encountered in north
crosscut No. 3 from the 1854 winze.
Work toward getting the Belmont
shaft in shape, preparatory to the
sinking of a churn drill to the 1000
foot level is being continued and at
the present all efforts are being con-
fined to making preparations for the
