A VICTORIOUS TRIP.
Il. C.. Basket Ball Team Came March,
ing Home With a Bunch of Vic
tories This Morning.

The Luther College basket ball
team arrived home at three O'Clock
this morning from Mortified, after
most successful basket ball trip.
They brought with them glorious
victories also, winning three of the
four games played. The boys report
excellent treatment on the trip, be-
entertained in lavish manner by
all the colleges visited Their first
game was Thursday with U. l. U. at
Fayette, winning from them in a
very rough game by a score of %
to IA.
Friday they defeated the Shattuck
School team at Faribault, score 3S
to II. They received excellent treat
ment there, the game was clean and
the floor splendid. Shattuck was fast
but too light.
At Collegeville, Mimi, on Satur-
day, they suffered their only defeat,
losing to the st. Johns University
team by the close score of % to "a.
Luther made IL field goals and st.
Johns g., the latter winning out on
free throws from fouls. st. Johns
secured a big lead in the first half,
but were outplayed by Luther in the
second.
The team spent Sunday and Mon
day in the Twin Cities, going to
Mortified Tuesday, where they won
from st. Olaf College by another
close score-33 to 80. The score
the first half was FL to 9 in Luther's
favor Second half IL to 23 in st.
Olafs favor. The game is reported
as being a red hot affair. The St.
Olaf players were fast and clean
set of fellows.
The game scheduled for last night
with Co. G. at Red Wing, Mimi, was
cancelled, owing to the iateness of
the trains in that vicinity.
This trip closes the seasons games
for l.. c. We must say the boys are
to be congratulated on the very ex-
cellent work they have done this sea-
son. Following is a list of the
games won and lest:

DIsBARMENT CASE ON TRIAL.
The Disbarment Proceedings Against
Atty. Il. y. Johnson Commenced
Monday Before Judge
HObSOn.

Monday afternoon, about
O'Clock, Judge Hobson convened
court, and the trial of Atty. E. P.
Johnson was commenced. The late
ness of the hour in converting was
due to the fact that Court Reporter
w. w. Comstock was unable to get
to DEBORAH sooner, owing to the train
being several hours late. Upon his
arrival the proceedings were imme-
diately begun, as there is no jury in
this case and no time was lost in the
selecting of jurors. The trial is be-
fore the Judge.
County Attorney N. Willett and
Attys. Frank Sayre and C. N. Houck
represent the state, and Atty. E. w.
Cutting represents Mr.. Johnson.
Atty. Perry Johnson is also assisting
in the defense.
Ten accusations are embodied in
the petition filed against Mr.. john
son, and the first one of these
brought up was the Thorson Selness
administrator matter, Atty. E. r.
Acres was the first witness called,
occupying the time until court ad-
journed Monday evening. Tuesday
morning County Clerk S. E. Brick
ner, Ole Thorson and T. E. Selness
were called and testified in the case,
occupying the time until about four
O'Clock in the afternoon, when the
states testimony was concluded in
that charge.
Then the Mrs. Haukedahl matter
was started. Mrs. Martha Hauke-
dahl, Annie Olson and Caroline
Haukedanl being the witnesses ex-
amined in that, occupying the time
up to about 1920 this morning,
when the Aasen deed matter was
commenced, Christian c. Aasen be-
ing the first witness in that affair,
and he was still on the stand when
court adjourned this noon.
There are 80 witnesses subpoe-
mead by the state, and quite a num-
ter by the defense. At the rate the
case is progressing and the length
of time spent in questioning each
witness and the number of accusa-
lions to be gone over the case bids
fair to last week or ten days
longer. The court room is packed at
each session.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-operations in
the stock market today We're quiet ana
featureless. Prices backed and hlled
within fractional limits for the most
part and the days business was limited
to the professional party, which at the
moment seems indisposed to make q
move in either direction.
Little attention was paid Dy Wail
street to the reassembling OF congress
and the proposed method of tariff re-
vision. The progress of the British
general election excited even less atten-
tion, but the continuance of the torren-
tial floods In France was referred TO
in its bearing on our exports OF food
stuffs to that country.
Crop conditions in the west were
improved by the heavy SNOWFALL IN
Kansas, which probably came In time
to save much of the wheat planted In
October. Some light was thrown on
last weeks meeting in this city OF the
steel and iron men by unofficial adVlces
from Pittsburg, which was declared,
in substance, that the conference was
called at the instigation of some lead
ing railroad officials who were inistent
in their demands that prices be revised
downwards. 1t was intimated that
some readjustment would probably
come with the early part of the new
year.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5--The market during
the early part of the day was a purely local
one, Wall street buying a little. The tone was
steady with little outside business, With the
exception of some local professionals the mar
ket seems to be pretty well evened up. A
rurnor was in circulation around noon that
the National Glnners estimated the crop at
II. 100000 bales and while these figures lack
confirmation they do not tend to encourage the
local shorts. There some buying by
Southern bulls, not the crowd usually known
as such, but large traders at times.
Receipts continue large and the public, If
interested, shows no inclination to enter the

change i'm weeks. Union gained some OF the
ground lost last week and closed at par
while Consolidated Midway and California
Midway gained each point.
Consolidated Midway opened at zoe and 500
shares sold at that figure, and at 22c during
the morning session. In the afternoon Con-
solldated Midway dropped back to zoe on a
sale of 1000 shares and then advanced 10
21c, at which price 5000 shares were Sold

The first sale of thirty shares was made at
$35 e. Ten shares sold at s35.S7 and then the
stock advanced to s36 on sale Of ten shares.
The advance in Palmer was evident from
the start. Opening at s1.45 the stock was soon
bid UP to $50, where 1t was pegged for
time on sale of 200 shares, Activity in the
stock was not to be arrested, however, and
1t rose to $1.62, when the last sale amount
ing to 400 shares was effected Bidding at

Calls for bank stocks and bonds showed
an activity not experienced last week. While
there were no sales in them bank stocks and
bonds attracted the attention of the floor
throughout the session and made obvious
the fact that orders had been placed and
that extensive trading in them was not i'm
probable in the immediate future
Los Angeles herald., 1910-12-06
STOCK EXCHANGE NOTES

Jade oil was offered at the close at sSc
but wasnot covered. the stock being consid-
cred too high at that price.
General improvement was apparent through
out the oil list on the exchange yesterday
and nearly all stocks traded were at from
one to ten points advance
Central Oil, that occupied the floor of the
exchange last week, was quiet yesterday. A
bid at ST 80 without an offer indicated loose
stock thought available had been disposed
Of.
Bids and offers of American Petroleum
tirmness prevented several sales that might
have been made at a point or less below
the price asked.
The ten-point advance in Palmer is at
tributed to favorable reports on the new
we'll which was brought in last week The
casting in this well (No. ~, has been sue
cessfully perforated and the well is considered
one of the best OF the Palmer company. An
estimate on production however has not
yet been announced
