DICKINSON SHUTS
ts OUT GLEN ULLIN

. = ~ 4.
In an interesting game Sunday after
noon Glen Ullin lost to the Dickinson
baseball team BY the score of 8 to 0.
While there were few features, there
were no dull moments and the crowd
was satisfied with the game.
Glen Ullin played in hard luck. Only
one3hit was secured off Howell and no
Glen Ullin man got beyond second. The
splendid fielding Of Dickinson kept the
visitors from making any scores. On
the other hand Glen Ullin held Dickinson
down to only three runs, two 5ofi which
were made on errors Dickinson had
five hits off Hylo. the visiting pitcher.
There was some disappointment that
Nelson did not pitch for Glen Ullin as
the crowd wanted to see if he was as
good as he is cracked up to- be. but lie
has given up playing that position.
IHylo pitched a good game aftersthe first
when he gave two men their bases. Glen
.Ullin' 8 fielding was poor. The features
were g difficult catch in the outield by
Mcbride and the capture Of foul BY

CLAIMED FRAUD
Mott Contest Case has Develop
ments- Prominent People In
volved-Boy Sold Relinquish-
ment and Disappeared.

An interesting contest case was heard
a: the land Office Saturday in which
prominent Mott people were interested
as principals and witnesses. Miss
Josephine X, Steake. the Hettinger
county superintendent of schools, con-
tested the claim of J. B. Slosson, the
clothing and shoe dealer of Mott, who
secured the claim by purchasing the
relinquishment of R.O. Steake, a brother
of the plaintiff. She charged that the
REIMBURSEMENT was obtained by fraud
and that Mr.. Slosson was responsible
for the disappearance of the boy who
has not been seen by the family since
the day of the sale. H. C. Berry was
iss Steake's attorney.
Mr.. Slosson's story was that young
Steake came to him in the night and
offered to sell his REIMBURSEMENT for
$500. The deal was carried out between
the two in the presence of Robert D.
Beery, the county auditor, and others.
1t is believed that Steake took this
money and the proceeds of the sale of
horse and wagon, belonging to his
mother and left the country. ThiG was
in the fall of 1907. He has not been
heard from since, and it is not known
whether he is alive or not.
The claim is located about half mile
from the town. The plaintiff did not
question the improvements as the de-
fendant has been living on the land
continuously and has so acres under
cultivation.
Slosson's attorneys were States
Attorney George H. Stone and H. P.
jacobson of Mott. also Heffron & Baird
of Dickinson. Those who came up to
give their testimony in his behalf were
Attorneys Stone and jacobson, R. E.
Trousdale. Auditor Robert D. Beery,
Sheriff Henry Barry and DR.. F. T.
Rucker.
The department at one time dis
missed the case but it was renewed on
the appeal Of the plaintiff and this
hearing ordered after an investigation
by special government agent.

The road machine, which the county
commissioners have had sent to Dick
inson and set up for a trial with an

ance of rain.
The expert returned east and will be

the county board is to be in session for

two games with the locals. one at 8.
O'Clock Sunday afternoon and the second

These will both be good games end
worth seeing. Dickinson has not yet
been defeated and there is no one who
ought to know more about baseball
than drummer. Everyone should turn
out and see if they can play ball as we'll
as they can talk ball.

NAY starr MILL
Flax Twine Company Makes Pro-
sal-Municipal Committee
Investigating Flax Twine
Out Of Straw

The proposition OF establishing a
factory in Dickinson for the manufac-
ture Of fax twine. has been made to
the Commercial Club by Wares Grain
Binder Attachment Co. of Minneapolis
and the municipal improvement COM
mittee of the club is investigating the
company and the feasibility of the
plan. If such plant is established
here, it will mean an expenditure of
about $40, 900 for the building and
machinery. The main plant Of the COM
pany is at Minneapolis but it has a
plan of establishing factories in all the
important flax growing communities;
"A portion Of the stock is sold locally
and the rest taken by the COMPANY.
The mill would give raisers of flax
an outlet for tons of the straw refuse
which they now burn. In the past flax
twine has not been success in binding
grain but the Ware company has an
arrangement which overcomes all difficult
ties. By this device attached to a
binder. the machine holds the twine
by metal loop instead Of fraying it
out in tying knot, and thus makes
possible the use of flax twine on bind
er.
Dickinson is the center of big flax
growing country and there is little
doubt but what the factory would pay
if the company is reliable and their
plans practical. The committee will
investigate all details and it is possible
that arrangements can be made for
establishing a branch factory here.
Fargo has under consideration the
building of similar plant there and
the recent grain growers convention in
that city, devoted considerable time to
showing the need of flax mills in the
state. a

tain but she expects now to remain at

Another prospective Minnesota Univer-
sity student is Eliot Freeman. He has
practically selected this as the school

WILL NOT
CELEBRATE
Commercial Club Votes Not to
Celebrate Fourth Admit Nine

. ture Scheme.

There will be nc city celebration of the
Fourth in Dickinson this year. This
was decided at regular meeting of
the Commercial Club held Wednesday
evening. The time is too short to ret
up a program that would be a credit to
the city and the fact that so many small
towns in the radius of so miles are plan
ming celebrations, from which Dickinson
always draws big quota of people,
was largely instrumental in letting this
year pass by with nothing doing. None
of the business men present were in
favor of doing anything this year so
Dickinson people will have to plan to
celebrate privately or else take in the
big doings at Horswill. Richardton,
Daglum, Hebron. Oakdale. Medora,
Logging Camp. or numerous other places.
Considerable business of importance
was transacted. The club endorsed the
plan of having lecture given in the
city in July on the development of the
city and its business and other valuable
points. The Boosters club. Chicago
organization, is sending a famous lee
turer. a Mr.. Irving to Seattle and he is
to stop at principal points and give this
lecture. The proceeds are derived from
the sale of Booster buttons, which
will be on sale in all the stores and
admits the wearer to the lecture The
lecture will be under the auspices of the
business men and more especially a
committee, consisting of Fred Roquette,
Jay Reed and A. T. Crowl. More par
ticulaIs will be given later.
"A proposition from Commissioner
Gilbreath was accepted. If the club
will furnish him with concise write
up of the county. he will have 5000
copies printed of which the club will get
1000, free of charge. This was author

 Affair at East Thomas.

Loula Hathaway, the woman whom B. L.

She enjoyed good laugh over the affair and remarked on Crimes vivid imagination, but did not care to dis cuss any details of 1t other than to say there was no foundation for 1t.
 Grimes was evidently frightened by the report that his arrest had been ordered and could not be located yesterday. Grimes should be punished severely for making fake report of such a happen ing" said Chief Bodeker, "He caused 25 or 30 officers from the various towns to nearly work themselves to death In the effort to catch his imaginary ne- gro.
