C. E. Cole and M. Littlejohn went to
Duluth last week with the intention of
filing on some government land in the
Fond du Lac reservation, which is be-
ing opened for settlement this week.
After sizing up the situation on the
border line and seeing the long line
which had been in waiting in the gov

or more, they decided they would not
take any chances and came home Tues

when the filing began. The whole
region is believed to be underlaid with
rich iron ore.

LADYSMITH DEFEATS TONY
Sundays Ball Game Results in the
Score of 9 to 4

A hard earned victory has at last
crowned the efforts or our base ball
team, after several unsuccessful assaults
on the Tony aggregation. We don t
exactly how to classify the game. 1t
wasn't a pitchers battle, for the pitch
er of the winning side struck out only
one man 1t wasn't the heavy batting,
for the winning side made only one two
bagger, while the losers made three.
Perhaps as the nearest stock descrip-
tion we might call it comedy of errors.
We probably didn't get them all, but
we noticed IA errors by Tony and by
Ladysmith, which we submit is going
some.
Tony held the lead up to the fifth
inning, when Ladysmith made three
scratches on the pan, getting a COM
Portable lead of two The Tony bunch
then switched pitchers, putting Perry
in the box, and in the sixth five more
notches appeared on Ladysmith's side
of the stick. A strenuous squirt was
taken by Tony in the seventh; two
scores run in; another man reached
home plate only about a step behind
the ball, and all bases were full when
the third man went out. For a little
while things were uncertain enough to
be interesting, but the remainder of the
game brought no excitement.

she had had with them.

ment were not given out, but II was

physician, called to the stand this AFT,

Farnsworth Schenk, swore that she
bought poison from him.
A few days before her arrest, the
physician testified, Mrs. Schenk tried
to purchase some arsenic, but he
would not let her have II.
I'll pay you big price for It," wit
ness said she declared, in trying to
bring about the transaction.
When he persisted In his refusal,
Myers said, Mrs. Schenk declared
she had previously bought some Fow-

physicina.
DR.. Myers said before that he had
sold bichloride tablets and an ounce
of sugar of lead to the prisoner. He

The story of Mrs. Schenk's alleged
infatuation for Dan Phillips. the music
store clerk, 10 years her junior. was
told in her trial today by Lundy VII
son, her husbands chauffeur
Wilson made an exceedingly nerv-
ous witness. He seemed to be con-
scious OF the keen look OF Mrs.
Schenk when she was not busy taking
notes of his tertimony. When Wilson
related how he discovered Mrs.
Schenk partially seated on Phillips
knee, the prisoner abruptly stopped
her notes and looked hard at the wit
ness, whose fingers drummed nervous
ly upon the arm OF the chair.
Prosecutor Handlan said today he
would not be through with his.side OF
the case before Friday.
Attorney Boyce began Wilson's
cross-examination. He took his stand
close to Mrs. Schenk, who made re-
peated suggestions.
Wilson acknowledged the only COM
promising position In which he had
seen Mrs. Schenk and Phillips was on
the occasion when he returned to find
the couple seated in the tonneau. Mrs.
Schenk, he said, was partially on
Phillips lap.
On some of the auto trips Wilson
said, Schenk himself was present.
But that was at the beginning" he
added.
How did Mrs. Schenk come to talk
with you about her friendship for
Phillips?" Boyce asked.
Witness didn't remember.
Cant you recall any Of the circum-
stances?"
Witness could not.
Boyce persisted, but Wilson could
