Lively Basket Ball.

The Canton High School team and
the Canton Baraca team met in Ar
mory Hall Tuesday evening for a
friendly game, and it proved TO be n
of the fastest games ever played here.
The atmosphere in the hall was just
right for fast work. Professor Wood
burn was referee, Postmaster Smith
called time, while Elmer Anderson
and r. Frame did the marking.
The editor of The LEADER had a
front seat on the stage where he could
enjoy Jerome Hawn's college yells,
and Jerome was generous because be
helped both sides. Herman Richter
filled one Of the balcony chairs over
the gun lockers and held his cushion
like a hero until his neck got sore
lodging the pig skin. Then he took
a parquet seat in the front end and
was still lodging, even behind a bunch
of handsome girls, when Postmaster
Smith yelled time. knut Jacobson
and Frank Beck we're absent.
Prof. WOODBURY. gave both sides a
square deal and made a splendid ref
cree, but several times we thought
we would have to go out and buy him
a suit Of clothes to get home in. He
bore a charmed life, however, and
never hesitated to jump into a whirl-
ing mass of legs and arms and put the
boys on their feet smiling. The boys
played so fast that the ball actually
got out of breath and no three card
man on earth could have kept track
of it's movements. Postmaster Smith
was shouting for the Barracks but he
gave vent to a high school note once in
a while t. help ont in the general
jubilauion IN. Everybody was happy,
ever the B" acas seemed satisfied in
defeat because the Highs never played
such a swift sur game. The basket
work of the Highs was almost per-
feet. Arthur Goetz made IA points,
Asher Anderson Is and Kenneth
Fobes i. Charlie Sand Of the Baracas
made 4 points, Vogen 4 and Braith-
waite 2.
The lineup was as follows: High
School: Anderson, Fobes, Goetz, Syv-
erUd, Rudolph. Baracas: Sand,
Braithwaite, Vogen, Schubert and
Smith.
The Sioux Falls highs will play the
Canton highs here Friday evening. 1t
will be a great game. Don't miss it.

in the front line, $50 in the second line
and 100 composed the rear. The chiefs
were in the front, swapping their whips
in the air and holding the riders to-
gether, with the ponies foaming. pranc-
ing and stamping their feet, impatient
as their masters, each seeming to form
one soul and one body, c%entaurs, all
waiting for the signal, all with one
feeling, one desire, to gain as many
laurels as possible when the chief sud
denly gave the signal to 60. Thunder

a storm of horsemen as. with impet-
uosity, these nomads dashed on their
prey. With the roar of Niagara, the
speed of a cyclone, the swittness OF
an avalanche, these strange figures
threw themselves in a mad, wild rush
on their fleeing victims, and soon Ii
the midst Of the dust cloud n could
only see an indescribable mixup of
flying arrows, accompanied with rife
shots. galloping horses, falling buha-
loes and t1eet riding Indians on their
wild ponies. 1t was a confusion In one

forming almost a delirium of delight
to the huntsmen. Some went flying
from one end of the prairie to the
other after stragglers. while the main
guard formed in such a manner as to
make the buffaloes circle. The signal to
halt was given, and as the dust cloud
rose little by little like a curtain in the
theater the horses were seen at a
standstill, and the prairie was strewn
with the buffaloes that fell. Calm and
practical fellows were these Indians.
Even the horses began quietly pastur-
ing on the grasses, while the hunters
proceeded to pull off the hides and cut
out the tongues and favorite pieces Of
their native cattle and preparing the
meat in strips for preservation.
During the progress of the hunt the
grand duke expressed a desire to have
a test made as to the use OF the bow
and arrow Of the Indians. Two
Lance" with a reputation as a buffalo
hunting chief. was selected for the
purpose. While riding at full speed he
shot an arrow from his bow which
pierced a buffalo clean through from
side to side. The grand duke con-
sidered the feat so remarkable that he
took the arrow home with him as a
memento of the occasion.
The commissary wagons assisted In
bringing fresh meat to camp, and
great festivities marked the closing
Of this grand hunt. Guests and hosts
had tasted Of one of the most glorious
feasts that ever true Nimrods attended.

old fashioned blizzard on March third

had beautiful weather. The antici-

to remain indoors. 1t might be In

great by the common people. In

until the laws are printed. The re-

the actual work performed. From
reports at hand it would seem that
the appropriations are higher than

high carnival over the campaign

the 9th getting out a IA page edition
OF the LEADER, but when we hap
pened to think Of March 8th and 9th,
1852, we just stopped and looked back
over the years and pictured clearly in
memory's vision the historic and
tragic events Of those two days. On
the 9Th the iron clad rebel ram Mer-
rimac came out from Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, and inside OF two hours two Of
the best wooden war ships in the
navy were destroyed and the grand
old frigate Minnesota aground and at
the mercy OF the ironclad. All the
sailing vessels fed for safety ~*heni the
power OF the new war monster was
learned and the troops at Fort Mon
roo and Newport News we're power

darkness to cover the horrors of the
day, yet there was nothing in sight

About $50 that fateful night the
writer challenged the Monitors boat
and we were the first to learn that a
"Nation's hope" had arrived.
The frst great battle between iron
sclads took place next day, March 8,
and It was q combat fit for the gods
to-admire. The proud little Monitor
Won and President Lincoln gave
nraiaa To the genius OF Ericsson and
the courage of Worden fighting with
his eyesight almost destroyed.
