High Loses to Hudson

The local high school quint was
de feated at Hudson by the high
school team of that city last Friday
evening by a score of 81 to 9.
River Falls made all but two of
their points early in the first half,
and for the first few minutes of
play, held the score nearly even
But before the end OF the session
Hudson got things going their own
way and piled up scores almost at
will. The first half ended with the
score to IA in favor of Hudson
and the final score was 81 to g.
River Falls chief cause of defeat
was their inability to cover O'Brien,
Hudson's star center, who made "a
points for his team, and also fig
ured largely in their defense.
1t was a good, clean, game and
was won fairly by the better team.

Where Did The Clocks Stop

This city was thrown into hub
bub of excitement Tuesday morning
upon the discovery that one of oul
merchants had had his entire stock
lifted" during the night. When
John Dunn went to open up Dunn
Bros hardware store for the days
business he found that he had been
preceded less tremendously by
visitors, and further investigation
disclosed the fact that the safe be-
longing to F. G. Peterson, jeweler,
located in the front of the building,
had been cracked" and the con-
tents, amounting to about $500
worth of watches, rings, ETC., ap-
propriated. The burglars also Sc
lected few choice articles from the
show cases of Dunn Bros. hardware
stock, such as revolvers, razors and
pocket knives. The booty would
probably weigh about $50 pounds.
That the burglars weren't anna
tours is evident from the clever job
they did. They hammered the dial
off the safe and inserted nitro gly-
cerine, sealing it with soap. The
discharge took the door off as clean
as whistle. Several people heard
the explosion, which occurred at Is
minutes of five. (The time is set by
one of the clocks, which was stopped
by the glass falling against its
pendu1um.) City Marshal, Robt.
Hannah, was just starting for home
when the explosion occurred. He re-
turned to Main street but was un-
able to locate it.
All the neighboring towns were
soon notified and a close lookout
was kept. Pat. Carroll, chief of the
Hudson police, reported an arrest,
and held the man, who gave his
name as Richard Hayes, until the
arrival of Mr.. Hannah, who brought
Hayes to this city on the evening
train. Hayes boarded the train at
Glovers Tuesday morning and was
arrested upon his arrival at Hudson.
He claimed TO have spent the night
in the elevator at Glovers. Hayes
was arraigned before Justice E. P.
Sanderson Tuesday evening and
pleaded not guilty. The hearing
was adjourned until yesterday morn
ing to allow District Attorney Geo.
Thompson of Ellsworth TO be pres
ent. BY consent of both parties the
case was adjourned until next We'd
nesday morning pending investiga-
ton. Lacking $4,000 bail Hayes
will meanwhile inhabit the county
Jail at Ellsworth. In explaining his
visit to Glovers, Hayes says that it
was an appointment he had with a
friend, Joe Johnson by name, who
was to meet him there and arrange
for trip to the west, and incident
ally to reimburse him (Hayes) for
the amount of a small loan, con-
tracted during recent visit in ST.
Paul. Johnson did not show up
and Hayes claimed he stayed at the
elevator all night.
This morning David Haddow
brought in the ring trays which he
found near the old slaughter house
north of the city. This find seems
to indicate that the robbers divided
the spoils there and parted.
But no trace has been found of
the sway" and although many
theories have been advanced, the
main topic of conversation is still
where did the clocks stop?" And
you don't have to buy a dollars
worth of goods anywhere to have
the privilege of a guess, either.

Judge Alden

! Hon. Geo. D. Alden gave a con-
vincing and practical lecture last
evening on the subject of "The
Needs of the Hour" bringing home
to us the fact that while there are
certainly evils in the great financial
systems of the country, we can trace
the origin of those corrupt prac-
tees to the little WEAKNESSES of our
own every day practices, no, not
ours, but those of the professional
men, merchants and farmers of
maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont''-and the correction of the
greater corporation vices lies in the
improvement of the Individual.
The entire audience which filled the
auditorium of the M. E. church last
evening it been gathered from
Maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont"-could have found personal
application for the improvements he
listed under the needs of the hour.
Judge Alden is a truly brilliant
speaker and his lecture was impress
sive, instructive and practical.

Lecture Course, the concert by the

A few days ago werd came from
San Antonio, Tex, that there was a
decided falling off of New Orleans
exposition enthusiasts In that city
owing to the greed OF the Crescent

HOOD RIVER CIDER
WINS IN VANCOUVER

Word has just been received from
Vancouver, b. G., that Hood River
cider and vinegar, the only products
of the Hood River valley which were
entered at the Canadian National
Apple Show held recently, carried off
the first prizes. The entries were
made at the Canadian Show by Walter

thus adjudged the best product of its
kind in either this country or Canada.
The Hood River cider factory is now
doing considerable business and has
opened branches in Portland, Van
couver and San Francisco through

Hood River sweet cider is a great
drink in Portland, where Is carloads
are consumed during the season and
the metropolis also uses much vinegar
from here. Mr.. Donnelly, the sales
man for the company, is very enthus-
iastic over the prospects for this year
and says that he can sell $50, 00C
gallons of cider this year.
