MANY PREPARATIONS MADE Z;
FOR CHRISTMAS SEASON

The PRESS extends to each and every
one of it's readers. wishes for a merry
Christmas and a happy and prosperous
New Year.
The past few weeks have been busy
mes in Dickinson with preparations for
the merry Christmas season. The city
has been the shopping emporium for
people living as far as 100 miles away
and the sales in the local stores have
been enormous for the past several
weeks. Several sales and cut prices
invited the purchasing of many articles
appropriate Tor gifts at this season.
The stores contained a full supply of
everything Imaginable in holiday as
well as staple goods. and extra clerks

were necessary to accommodate the heavy
run of customers. The store windows
are decorated in holly and other Christ
mas symbols and display the lines of
goods that are to be found within.
The postoffice and express Office are
just flooded with packages of all sizes
both coming and going and the cerks are
spending many hours overtime in order
to get these off in due time. The amount
of registered packages sent and money
orders procured would indicate q season
of areat prosperity.
The weather at this season of the year
has never been better in North Dakota.
There has been practically no SNOW so
lar. and generally the days have been
bright and balmy. This pleasant weather
has enabled the people living at a dis
lance to conveniently transact their
Christmas shopping. %r.
The people of Dickinson have no griev-
ance with the weather man, with Santa
Claus or with the general conditions in
the country.

FINE BASKETBALL GAME
co. K HELD SCORE DOWN

Playing an almost whirlwind & anne
from start 10 finish and showing remark
able team work on both SIDES, the Port
age basketball team defeated Company
K at the armory on Thursday evening
by a score of 81 to ii.
The Portage team is one of the strong
est travelling a%ggregations that has ever
played in Dickinson. That they have
played much together and are thoroughly
familiar with each others moves. was
shown by the splendid passing game
they put up IN Thursday night. The
team work was almost perfect, and a
cleaner bunch of athletes for a basket
ball team could hardly be asked for.
Their continual playing has made them
masters of the game and hardened them
to the rough exercise. Considering this
Company K deserves credit in handling
them as u boys did and keeping their
number of points down to 81.
A whole lot of rough playing in the
first half. which confused our boys, could
have been avoided. In the second half
Sheppard replaced Brooks in the travel
ing team and things went more smoothly.
In the last half. with two fresh men on
the Portage team for the first few
minutes the ball changed ownership in
rapid succe ssion and finally at the end
of three minutes. Grof landed it in the
cage. Portage took the next five baskets
in quick succession. then Co. X picked
up and for the last IS minutes of the
game played even points with the all
stars. ..-,- ..
Individually, each member of the
Dickinson quintet deserves praise for
their fine work in blocking the swift
passes of the visitors. This necessitates
swift floor work and the unavoidable
roughness which is bound to come with
interference. Baird eve played better
and was seen in two or three places at
once throughout the game. so quickly
did he move across the floor ; Kunz did
splendid work and Grof made spectacular
basket throws that brought wild ap.
plauses; Blair did much clever playing
and Birch was right in the game all of
the time.

TWO MAHDAN OFFICERS
IN BLIND PIG TROUBLE


has been stirred up in Mandan during
the past few weeks is rather interesting.
It appears that the first step in the mat
ter was taken at the time a place called
THE Elks club in Mandan was raided
and several loads of booze were confs-
Gated. The Elks lodge had nothing to
do with the CLUB that being merely a
name taken by the proprietors of the
place. 1t appears that the place was
run in the second story of a building
owned and controlled by Pat McGiIlic
and Oscar Olson. the gentlemen named
being members of the city commission
and sheriff of Morton county respec-
lively. The raid in which the evidence
was secured was made by Coroner Stark
and it is alleged that Olson and Nc
Gillic getting sore at ex-Mayor Connolly
for not tipping off the fact, there was
going to be a raid on the place, started a
campaign for Sunday closing, and took
opportunity to close the Topic theatre.
which was partly owned by Connolly's
0 I. At the time of the closing of the
Topic there was no ordinance under
which the move could have been made.
This action on the part of Olson and
McGillic is said to have aroused a num-
Der of people of the city and the present
movement is a part of the results.
There will be q number of cases which
have grown out of the movement tried.
The first is that of McGillic and Olson
charged with allowing a building which
was under their contol to be used as a
blind pig, the second case will be
against Douglas Cornwall and Christ
Strand charged with violation of the
prohibition law in operating a place
known as 1.-THE Moose club. It is
stated that this is the name taken by
the proprietors, the same as was 1.-The
Elks'' and has no connection with the
secret society of the same name.
Thos. Mccormick, n of the old time
residents of Mandan. will have a hear
ing on a charge similar to that lodged
against Olson and McGillic, as it is
claimed he bad knowledge of a blind
pig being operated in what is known as
the Farmers hotel.
Attorneys Zuger and Hebron, assis-
tants to the attorney general will have
charge of the prosecution Of the cases
and it is expected they will be several
days before the court.
A later report from Mandan says that
H. L. Hanke. committing magistrate.
held McGillic and let Olson 60. The
testimony of some of the witnesses to
the effect that both Olson and McGflfc
had been drinking in THE Elks" was
rather positive. The attorney generals
Office will start another case against
Olson Immediately and it is expected
that there will be new testimony to
offer. Cornwall and Strand who were
CHARGED win a violation of the prohibi-
ton law, had their cases continued to
December 20 and the case against Thos.
Mccormick, proprietor of the Farmers
hotel. is also put over the same time.
Mccormick is CHARGED with having know
ledge of the fact that the prohibition
law was being violated upon the premi-
ses owned and controlled by him. s
