H. J. SMITH THE INVENTOR WITT
TEsT HIS MACHINE JULY
II ON BIG DAY.
MARKET DAY CELEBRATION 10
ARRANGED FOR LAKorA-
BIG BAND THERE.

A market day celebration has been
arranged at Lakota to take place july
II, at which H. ]. Smith the inventor
OF an aeroplane who resides at that
place will make his first flight. The
Luther college band will be in attend
ance and program of sports is being
arranged including several baseball
games, Devils Lake being on the list
for diamond contest.
The Smith aeroplane is in design
similar to the Morane monoplane built
in France but is little lighter than
the French machine and also has less
air resistance. 1t is driven by two
cycle motor of so horsepower which
weighs l65 pounds. 1t is the lightest
motor for its power ever built in the
northwest.
The forward part Of the Smith aero
plane is built of steel tubing with all
joints security brazed, which not on.
ly gives light and rigid construction
but also adds greatly to it's appear
ance as there are no cumbersome joints
in view. This trimness also adds to the
speed by lessening the air resistance.
The rear part of the frame work is of
Eliminated spruce trussed with piano
wire. The forward part o. this ma
chine is covered with thin wood panels
that protect the driver from the wind
and also lowers the air resistance.
The lighting gear cannot be further
simplifed as it is composed of only
one moving metal part on eacn side Of
the machine and rubber band that
furnishes the spring to reduce the
shock of landing. The trailing wheel
is also provided with spring tc re
duce shock. This lighting gear IS so
designed that it offers no Extra air re-
sistance. The wings have sustain
ing surface Of $50 square feet and are
so well trussed that the entire weight
Of the machine, which is only $50
pounds, can be lifted from it's outer
ends. Whenever it is necessary to run
the controlling wires over pulleys or
around corners steel chain is used as
this eliminates all danger of these most
essential parts breaking while the ma
chine is in the air. The lateral control
is by tips at the ends of the wings and
it is believed that feature will in 1o
way infringe the Wright patent.
The machine is now about ready to
fly and as a great many people have
expressed a desire to see it's trial flight
Mr.. Smith expects to try it in some
town in this state that is going to have
Fourth Of July celebration, providing
suitable grounds are available for this
purpose. Mr.. Smith expects to keel
this machine in the exhibition bushes!
but will devote little Of his time to i
as he is intending to take an ACTIVE
part in the perfecting of the aero
plane.

TRIED TO KILL THOMAS. WHO
STRUCK OUT THIRTEEN OF
THE LOCALS.
SECOND GAME CAME NEAR GOING
BY WAYSIDE AFTER MANKE
HAD PICKETTs SHUT OUT.

The champions fell down and step.
ped on their thumbs in the first con-
test with the Pickets at Grand Forks
yesterday afternoon and whether the
tall buildings had an effect on the To-
Gals or too much confidence has not
been ascertained, nevertheless they lost
in painful accident by score of 6
to 2.
Twelve hundred fans turned out to
see what was doped up as victory for
the Lakers, for they must have felt the
champions would win, as there was on
ly half dozen that would chip in a
couple of dollars apiece to take ten dol
lars that the Lakers were anxious to
get rid of. The Lake hackers did get
rid of it and were thankful that the
Pickett followers had cold feet for
there was hundreds of dollars of Lake
money that was left uncovered
Caylor was sent to the mound in be-
half of the home team while Thomas, a
whirlwind from the South, held the ar
tillery for the Picketts. He was eff
fective with speedy ball and a lot Of
mixture, but due to the fact that the
locals endeavored to make home run
every time one stepped to the pan,
may be given as the chief reason for
the loss of the game, and this, together
with few boots put Devils Lake off
the map for the time being.
On the other hand the Picketts climb
ed Caylor's feeble frame and landed
on the sphere at opportune times, play
ing errorless ball, aside from the first
inning when they were taken unawares.
It can only be said that the Picketts
were loaded with the best aggregation
that has appeared on the Grand Forks
diamond and while the Lakers had ev.
cry bit as good team they did not
play as good baseball.
At the start off it looked as though
the champions were going to walk
away with the contest, but the Picketts
evened matters up in their half of the
initial inning and with Thomas playing
the entire game, he won out, holding
the champions to two scores, while the
Picketts piled up two more in the
fourth and two in the fifth as result
of hits and some slow playing on the
part of the Lakers. The detailed score

With Thomas off the mound and
Leigh in his place the Devils Lake
team had big chance for the second
game and started out to win, pinning
faith in Manke, who occupied the
mound for the champions. {: was an
excellent contest until well along to the
last and was only marred by the fact
that the umpire made couple Of raLk
decisions which 'Scrapny' Lips took
exception to and after saying some
thing which did not appeal to the ears
of his majesty, ruler of the fracas, Mr..
Lipps had the can tied to him and was
sent to the bench, Mr.. Caylor replacing
him on the initial sack.

oldest citizens. In conversation
with citizen, the other day, he
remarked that the first body buried
in our cemetery was that of a man
by the name of Wilson who lived on
Chetopa Creek somewhere below
the present site of Thayer. Wilson
had been to Humboldt for his
mai. When he got back to the
river it had raised till it was run
ming half bank full or mere. He
asked NJ. Beach to take his saddle
and some things he had across the
river in a canoe and SAID he would
ride across on his horse.
Mr.. Beach tried to get him to &C
back to Humboldt and cross OH
ne b lge but Wilson said no.
Sild ne could swim across the rlvel
# necessary. He forced his horse
10 plunge in and horse and rider
disappeared but soon came VI
swimming for the opposite shore
but the man was off the horse.
The horse came across all right
bur when Wilson was about hall
way across he called for help and
before NJ. Beach could get to him
in an old canoe that CHANGED TO be
handy he had sunk to rise no more.
The body was found about a week

CURFEW ORDINANCE TO Be REVIVED

The next uprising against the
rulings of the Chanute official
powers that be may be developed
among the younger generation, for
among the ordinances that remained
upon the ''statoot" books is a
certain ordinance relating to the
ringing of a Curfew Bell. The
aforesaid ordinance has been upon
the city records for at least ten
years and has never been enforced
though a feeble effort was made to
have its provisions observed at the
time it was enacted. The require
ments however are not grievouS to
be borne. According to the wording
of this bit of legislation of former
council, children under seventeen
years of age must not be in the
streets without a proper guardian
alters P. NJ. during the months
from October to March inclusive.
During the other months of the
year one further hour of grace is
allowed to the young people ere the
arm Of the law COu1d he invOka6
against them. Neglect to heed the
warning bell after notification of
the first trespass would subject the
offender to arrest and a fine Of S..
Parents who should fail to do their
part in requiring the child to be un-
der the home roof at the given hour
would likewise be liable to arrest
and fine for the second offense.
