justice CASE
Interests MANY

GOODRICH, Dec. 21.-In Justice
E.ckel's court an assault and battery
case was tried which attracted q
large crowd. Fred Walz, a farmer re-
siding about IA miles northwest OF
here, was the defendant and Mrs.
Amelia Siegele was the complaining
witness and alleged that Walz had
struck her and knocked her down
when she was on her own premises,
which are situated about a half a
mile from WALKS place. The trouble
arose over some of Walz's stock
which Mrs. Siegele had penned up. O..
Jordal appeared as attorney for the
defendant and asked for a trial by
jury which was granted by the court.
D. P. Bates presented the case for
the state. About two hours were
spent in the examination of witnesses
and arguments by the attorneys and
the case went to the jury. after half
an hours deliberation brought in a
verdict of not guilty.

MANY APPLICANTS
FOR STATE patents

GRAND FORKS, Dec. 21.-A large
number of applications for state pat
ents to school lands have been sent
in to the state land commissioner in
the past few days for property on
which final payment is being made.
The land on which patents are re.
quested was contracted for 20 years
ago and upon which final payment
has just been made. The first pay
ments were made on the day the con-
tract was made. Other payments were
made at the end Of five, ten, fifteen
and twenty years.
Many have made final payments,
out the number of patents which will
be granted this year will exceed any
up to the present time. According to
County Auditor Hans Anderson, three
and four applications for patents are
being sent in daily.
The school lads are rapidly being
taken by the farmers of the state and
while there is still much school land
in Grand Forks county it is slowly
but surely being acquired by private
individuals.

whom he has discussed Gibbons have
erred badly.
Gibbons is tall for his weight. There
is nothing about his physique suggest
ing abnormal strength. His slenderness
is the first thing that strikes one.
His legs are small and 70 is his
waist. There is no broadening of the
body above the waist. which would
give the impression that he isn't a ter
rifle puncher. The effectiveness Of his
blows is probably accounted for by
his scientific method Of delivery and
the fact that he wastes no strength
in unnecessary leads.
As a puncher the M%innesotan is q
combination of the latest thing in
pugtlistic circles. but there is an un-
mistakable evidence Of the old timers
styles in certain Of his movemnest.
For instance. he has that old trick OF
rubbing his nose with the thumb of
his right glove. Dan Creedon used
the same stuff with great effect. An

M00RHEAD WAS
SHOWED UNDER
Varsity Quint Defeated the
Minnesotans by Over
whelrning Score

Playing spectacular basketball in
spots. the university quint opened the
season on Monday night by w~alloping
the M~oorhead normal five to the chord
or Of to IA. Despite the fact that the
varsity 1--WE had had no real experi-
ance in games before this year, all OF
the six men who got into the game
played good games. although the hard
work told on them.
Sagen was the star performer when
il came to piling up the score, secur-
ing ten field goals and making four
free throws out Of seven trys. Heimes,
playing center was unfortunate and
wrenched his ankle after the first five
minutes of play, this slowed him down
10 some extent but showing nerve and
crit. stuck out the game to the finish.
Heimes played a great game until the
accident and will prove one OF the
strongest men that has ever battled
for the state institution.
Wilcox and Robinson. pla yed great
games at guard and with more prac-
tice both will develope into men that
1t Will be exceedingly hard to get away
rom. Both are rather clever at shoot
Ing baskets and both did their share
of the scoring.
Blewitt played forward in the first
half. but was evidently not in condi-
ton as he did not put up the stellar
game of last year. Sad who replaced
him in the last half played q classy
game and besides the game put on a
number of acrobatic stunts that pleas
ed the fans.
Taken all in all. it looks az though
the University of North Dakota would
have as fast and as clever a quint as
the institution ever afforded. While
the game with the Moorhead normal
cannot be considered a fair criterion
by which to Judge the team and while
the normalites did not give the varsity
as stiff a game as was expected, they
worked hard enough to keep the
ward. and Burkee. center. played the
game for the Moorhead quint. The
other men worked hard but the bare
truth is-they were ou~tclassed.
Work will be started at once in
preparation for the game with the

time it is believed that the varsity five
h a will need only occasional roofing

STAGES IDEAS
DUE THIS WEEK

Chicago. Dec. 12.-The attitude of
the University of Chicago toward the
recent tentative big eight changes
IN the amateur problem will be fixed
this week. A meeting Of the athletic
board of control Of the university will
be held next Saturday.
At that time, it is taken as prac-
tically certain that the professors will
vote against summer baseball unless
the investigation of professionalism
among the old co. athletes takes
longer than expected.
Coach Stage, it is said. has been
assured that the board of control
would not oppose him on his stand
on summer baseball and consequently
little doubt exists as to the vote. Mr..
Stagg has also given it as his opinion
that the question of Michigan re-
turning to the conference will again
be Shelyed.
