speed and, worst of all, the men behind
him did not deliver in the pinches.
Thus IL was that Willis faded away in
the sixth inning to make way for the
left handed Nelson, who. by the way,
met with much better success.
But no matter how the Oakland
pitchers worked they could not expect
TO achieve anything while Fitzgerald
held the Indian sign high over their
heads. He was the life and the soul
members appeared TO be proud OF the
work Of their pitcher, and they showed
their pride by their actions.
Willis got into trouble for the first
time in the third inning. For his own
benefit It must be stated that he was
not wholly responsible for the two tai
lies which came over the par, but the
three bingles helped a lot. nearly as
much as the glaring error which Mite
committed.
Fitzgerald started the rally with a
drive to center field. He caught the
Oakland battery asleep and got away
with an easy steal. Then Shinn got a
pass and Van Buren perished on a fly
l5eister laid down a bunt and dug for
first base. Mite and Willis tore after
tho ball The Oakland catcher speared
it and heaved for first. IT went wide of
its mark. bounded into deep right field
and Fitzgerald and Shinn landed. pulled
up.
Sacramento skipped the next spasm,
but in the fifth they were right back
or the Job again, fighting for another,
which they put over handily enough.
Two were down as Heister combed off
2 nice one to center TO be followed by
Perry. who found Willis for another
crack Boardman swung in with the
third wallop and Swander allowed il to
get away from him. This gave Heister
ali the time he wanted to make the
plate.
OakIand's lonesome tally. made its
appearance in the sixth period. Carroll
was safe on Shinn's error. the only
boot charged to Sacramento. Papa
EEolverton picked out a safe one to
right. which shot Carroll around TO
third Cutshaw forced his boss at sec
ond. but while the play was being
pulled of Carroll sneaked in with the
run.
There was q great collection of Oak
land fans on the spot and they fairly
shouted themselves sick for victory
for their team. Every time an Oak
lander would land on the bases a
mighty yell would rise from the stand
and the bleachers. But all this noise
had no effect on Fitzgerald. He knew
that he had Oakland's number, so he
never bothered his head about what
might happen if a batting rally started
There was no chance for such a start.
Sacramento was dangerous in every
inning. Not a round slipped by but that
the Senators had one or more men on
the bases. Nelson pitched far better

CANVASS|NC
BOARD FOR
B0WBEL LIS

The canvassing board of Burke
county apparently slipped one over
on the good people Of Ignite, when
they completed the count of the coun.
ty division votes "Wednesday Of last
week. It is said that according to the
first count, Ignite was III votes
ahead, but after five deputies had
been appointed to put all but the
canvassing board from the room, re-
count was made, and the votes of
twelve precincts, in the vicinity Of
Ignite, which were almost solid for
Ignite were thrown out. 1Ae reason
for the action Of the canvassing board
is not given, though 1t is understood
that they will claim illegal voting.
Ignite lost no time In raising q
fund, mainly among the farmers, and
it is said that $4,000 has been sub
scribed, to fight the case, the money
being on deposit in one of the Lignite
banks.
Arthur LeSueur has been engaged
to represent Lignite, and believes it
will be an easy manner to convince
the Supreme court that Ignite has
won, fairly.
Ignite claims that one of the mem.
bers of the canvasing board was the
county auditor, Ralph Abbott, who
was a candidate for reelection, and
for that reason he was not eligible to
sit upon the board.
According TO the canvassing board,
Bowbells is now about 800 votes
ahead of Ignite.

from their southern series of success
es Wednesday, and last night at the
Dutch room of the Leland, about twen-
ty of the friends of Mr.. Dinnie gath
cred to do him honor. The people of
Minot appreciate what Dave has done
for us in the way of advertising our

the operations have been mainly in
the west this year, the entire horse
dom CT the United States has had its
eye on this famous string. The horse
papers all give AL. Russell, the driver,
credit for being one of the best drivers
in the country, and ne Is. Dave
Dinnie has shown that ne knows

gathered one of the very finest strings

The dinner was an enjoyable affair,
superintended by manager Rowan.
Major Murphy acted as toast master,
and some witty speeches were made
by the guests, Of the evening. AL
Russell proved that he could not only
drive, but talk as well, for his talk

WALTER BOND ON

SITUATION

In an interview with the Independ-
ent, Walter Bond, member elect to
the House from this district, stated
That he wanted and hoped to see the
republican members Of the legislature
irrespective Of so-called factions, get
together and work in harmony
through the coming session, that he
had not as yet, reached a conclusion
as to who he would support for Sueak-
er and probably would not until ne
arrived on the ground and looked the
situation over carefully. He hoped
however, that q good man would be
selected by a republican caucus, par
ticipated in by both so called Stal-
warts and Progressives, irrespective
of factional difference heretofore ex-
hibited. Further, that he would work
and vote to the end, that party pledges
and promises made in the platform,
be kept, knowing that the party will
and should be held responsible for
the legislation passed. For this rea.
son ne thinks the time has come,
when factions within the party should
be elimated and all factions get to-
gether and work together to redeem
all pledges and promises made to the
people. .u.................

At PEN|TENT|ARY

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 27.-Two
hundred prisoners in the state peni-

entertainment yesterday when the
show from the amusement house
was taken there for a performance.
The entire show was put on includ-
ing three vaudeville acts, the moving
pictures and the illustrated songs.
There are fourteen Of the inmates
of the institution who have never seen
a moving picture until this time. The
illustrated song, which was on the
sentimental order was entitled, "You
Have Taught Me to Love You, Now
Teach Me to Forget" brought tears
to hundreds of eyes, and dozens OF
the convicts broke down and wept
The manager of the show was pre-
sented with a handmade cane which
had been carved out by one Of the
life prisoners.
