To Thread a Needle With Wool

Although it is almost impossible to
draw wool through the eye OF an ordi-
nary needle, however large the latter
may be. the needle can sometimes be
threaded with fine wool. II cotton IS
used as a "decoy. Both ends OF a
piece OF cotton should be passed
through the eye until only a short
loop remains, the end OF the wool being
then run through the loop and the
whole gently pulled through the eye OF
the needle.

F: REPORTED IN MANDAn
LABoRiNG MAN IS NEAR DEATH
As RESULTS OF WOUNDS
IN THROAT.

his throat cut from ear to ear.
The cut was not deep enough to
sever the juguler vein but was very
serious and the man is now in the

dition. A man who has been close
friend to Peterson since his arrival
in Mandan, was found in an uncon-
scious condition few fee from the
place Peterson was found and was
badly pounded about the head.
There is no clue to the parties who
committed the crime but it is thought
that it is the work of a bunch of fol.
lowers of the work who are holding
up men who have come in from the
work with their wages.
A man was brought in from the
north branch part of the extension
yesterday with his hand blown off.
He got in lie way of a charge OF
dynamite and as result is minus
one of his hands. He is being taken
care Of at the railroad hospital.
Men are quitting the work ever<

The first day of the tennis tourna
ment on the local grounds Saturday
was a decided success and began
promptly at o'clock Saturday morn
ing.
The out-of-town players who par
ticipated were DR.. Barker, Under
wood; Dr.. Thompson, Wilton, and
Messrs. Havener and Heaton of Dick
inson. The locals who played were
Russ, Chambers, Nichols, Coates
Brearley and Nichols. Jr.
The drawing for the singles who

Havener VS.. Barker; Nichols VS.
Coates; Chambers, Nichols, Jr., and
Brearley, byes. Nichols and Coates

This leaves Coates and Thompson in
the finals to be played off Monday
and the winner will be entitled to the
cup until the next tournament This
should be an interesting contest and
the outcome is watched with doubt.
In the doubles there were only four
sets of players entered as follows:

Coates defeated Russ and Chambers
in a very close match which was in
doubt to the finish, the score being
4-6, 6-5, 6-5. This leaves Nichols and
Coates to play Thompson and Barker
for the Little Gun on Monday.
Much surprise was expressed at the
defeat of Russ and Thompson in the
second singles, as Russ was expected
to be one of the final contestants TO,
the cup. but he lost out to Thomp
son in a score of 6-5, Ga. when they
came together in the forenoon. Russ.

not in the best of form for playing

and was tired from his hustling to
make the day success.

cisions of the umpires and most of
the close decisions were favorable to
Bismarck. There was no one on the
ground who questioned the honesty
Of the intentions Of the officials but
from the side lines it looked as If
their judgment was a little off. The
crowd conceded however, that the
umpire was the man on the job and
was closer to the plays in question
and thus better able to judge the
distance.
The second game of the season will
be be called at $3.50 this afternoon
when 1t Is expected there will be a
record breaking crowd present. Park
er will pitch for the locals and this
assures some playing from the Co. A
team, as they always put forth their
best efforts when he is in the box.
1t Is not yet known whether Edwards
will be in shape to allow him to play
Or not. Towers will probably start
the game for the men from the 500
line.
The sporting editor for the Tribune
was too busy roofing for the home
team to keep a tabulated score, but
will try and do better at the games
Sunday and Monday.
The game Monday afternoon will
be called at $3.50 and will-Ibe as full
of interest as any of the others and
should draw big crowd of fans.

occasions, pointed out that, take for

inclined to be lenient and give drug
gists an opportunity to put matters
right, but the day is past when they
have a right to expect any further
overlooking of the violations of the
drug law.
: "Of late, samples of other products
have been taken up at. drug stores
and they have been found just as far
off in some instances, and this is
particularly true with regard to the
essence of peppermint, iodine and
camphor. The result of the analysis
for these samples will be given in an
early publication, and it is not unlike
ly that if this practice continues
some of the druggists will be called
upon to explain to the courts.
druggists have also been dispens'
ing whisky, brandy, etc., without prop

quite clear that. they have sold com,

violation of the laws of the state.
Such violations will not longer be
overlooked, but whenever evidence
can be secured, the druggist will be
prosecuted" 'N'xIA

Burton Proves Himself Wonder On
the Mound--Two More Games to
r clinch Championship.

There was surely all kinds of ex-
citement at the ball grounds Monday
afternoon when Company A team
clashed with the fast bunch from I'm
derwood. The contest went for IL
innings and the final score was 4 to
5 in favor Of the visitors.
: There were sensational plays galore
and the work of the respective pitch
ers was fine to see. Burton for the
locals especially covered himself with
glory, pitching the entire twelve in
nings and allowing but few scatter
ing hits. There were times when his
support was on the bum proper.
Three times during the game he SET
tied down, grinned and pulled him
self out of tight holes. Longboat
and Kaiser made a. number of errors
at there respective positions on third
and short, but both of them more than
made good in the batting department,
LOngboat coming to the front with
three beautiful hits and Kaiser max
ing couple of good sacrifice hits
and beating out one bunt. Livermore
was all to the good in his fielding
and base running. Edwards worked
to perfection behind the bat in spite
of a split thumb presented to him
early in the game. Vandever made
good at first, tcepting every chance
offered him The rest of the team
had no chances to distinguish them
selves but will probably prove their
value today -.
For the Underwood team there is
nothing but praise as they played one
of the prettiest games that has been

mer. They fielded their positions like
machines, barring one or two in
stances, evidently knowing the game
from A to z, and played the game
They put over a couple Of plays
that were hummers and got away
with the goods in both instances.
Showers started out to shove them
over for Underwood but along in the
middle of the game got tired of his
job and passed it up to Towers.
Both men are there when it comes to
delivering the goods and made a good
Impression on the fans. Underwood
made only one error, unless a couple
should be charged up to the pitcher
when he failed to throw runner out
after fielding the ball. All of Bis
marcks runs were well earned, while
Underwood got a couple across that
were directly the result of errors on
the part of the Bismarck players.
