A trip to North Dakota was their
honeymoon, and this proved to be
Mr.. WrlGht's last visit to his old
Minot friends. Shortly after return.
ing to Texas, Mr.. Wright entered the
university OF that state and took up
the study of law, which he always had
a longing for, and it was while hard
at work ON his studies that he again
became i'll. He was compelled to give
up his studies and again lead the sim
pie Life. which for time benefited
him. Recent reports from him, con
veyed TIE pleasing news that he was
gaining very rapidly, until there came
q sudden change for the worse.
Hr. Wright was Mason, having
been raised in Star in the West lodge
No. 80 of Minot, q number of years
ago. He was musician of ability, for
years being one of the cornetists In
the Minot Metropolitan band. He

deserve it, but of course now that tho
new waterworks system has been in
stalled, the rate will not be raised. II
the premises are kept in proper con-
dltion. Minot is rated as fourth class.
by insurance companies. Towns with
out any kind OF fire protection are rat
ed at the lowest class, sixth. Mr..
Blandin states that, one little town
near Mnot that had no fire protec-
ton Whatever, was rated as sixth
class. Ihe citizens recently provided
two chemical :eaGtnes and the rate
was dropped to NTH class. the pro.
perty owners thus saving six per cent
ON the cost of insurance.
How Minot Can Get the Rate Still,
Lower.
Minot can have her insurance rate
lowered still more, but in order to
do so, it will be necessary for us
to have a paid IRE department.. Mr..
Blandin says that Minot can pay six
hremen, and still save considerable
money on the amount of insurance
money paid out. This being the case.
we should lose no time in doing this.

That Is Inference From Deal Ia
Which Chicago Nationals Secure
Another Catcher of Ability.

CHICAGO. March 24.-Chicago base
ball fans were chagrined today wheh
they heard Manager Chance, OF the
Cubs. had traded Pitchers Knapp ana
Willis 10 the Lincoln, Neb.. club OF the
Western league for Catcher Nome
macher. seeing in the deal an intima'
ton that the National Commission VIII
refuse To reinstate Johnny King, the
great Cub catcher.
II Is believed here that Chance has
been tipped or TO the probable action
OF the commission and set about nj
once TO bolster up his backstopping de-
partment. The Cubs already have
Archer, Moran and Neenham as catch-
ers, and were there any chance Oh
King joining the team. II Is incoh-
ceivable that the manager would go
after a nth catcher.
The continual postponement or maj
action in the now famous case tends
to strengthen the belief that the de-

KETCHEL COULD NOT

Middleweieht Champion Made Poor
Showing In Battle With Pittsours
Aspirant For His Title.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 24.-Ffght
fans are today displeased at the poor
showing made by both Stanley ketcn'
ell. worlds middleweight champion,
and Frank Klaus in their six-round
bout here last night, which developed
into a tame wrestling match and
proved a draw.
The third round was the only one
in which any real fighting developed.
when both mixed IL rapidly and Dotn
succeeded in landing several clean
blows. but the fighters spent most OF
their time in clinches.
Ketchel was slow and continually
failed to follow up opportunities to
land on Klaus. He also proved a poor
Judge Of distance.
Klaus showing was ragged and al
though he forced the milling, his add
vances always ended In clinch. Be
cause OF their poor work the audience
did not hesitate to hiss the fighters
