|MORRISTOWN LOSES
IN FRICID WEATHER.
But Walter Swenson Gives Ex-
csl|ent Exhibition Of Pitching.

With the weather so cold that an
oil stove was used by the Morris
town players to warm themselves and
fans built fires in the outfield the
Jersey Field club. of Boonton, won
a game in the series for the county
championship, the third Of the con-
tests. Morristown's errors were re-
sponsible for the runs and numb fin
gers were the cause of the misplays.
Walter Swenson was on the mound
for Morristown and outpitched Ernie
Wolf though losing the game by q
three to nothing score.
Boonton scored two in the fifth.
Maloney booted Burdette's grounder
and moment later dropped SVEN

flee. Kiser. forced Burdette at third,
Swenson to Doyle. Wolf singled scor-
ing Conn and Kiser tailed on Rogers
out, Maloney to Swenson.
The other run was garnered by
BOonton in the ninth. With two
strikes on Smith, Swenson plunked
him in the ribs. wilderman ran for
the first sacker and when Lucas

spelling force-out. Burdette's fly
to Lacey advanced Wilderman to
third and Swenson then uncorked a
wild pitch that scored him.
Morristown had several opportun-
tiles to score but the necessary wal
lop was not to be had off VOLTS de-
livery. Enzmann telegraphed Man
ager Todd that he was i'll and Andy
Speary failed to materialize SO Eddie
Welsh played in right field for Nor
ristown.
Charles Heller, who used to play
first base when Henry Powell man
aged the Morris Athletics back in
the last century, was on hand and
donned the spangles. He cavorted
around the initial bag during practice
and pulled off some batting stunts
much to the delight of many of the
cider fans who remember him as one
of the old teams heavy hitters. Hell
fer expected to coach during the
game but Manager Richards, of
Boonton said no.
At the fifth inning Umpire Kohler
halted the game while he presented
to Heller a gold handled silk um-
brella in behalf of some of Helfer's
old friends in Morristown. The old
timer was so overcome that he asked
Kohler to express his thanks, saying
that like Hans Wagner he was ball
player and not talker.

" SPOT is sAGAcIoUs.
Driver Dunlap's Dog Knows Differ
ence In Bells.

Harry Dunlap, driver of Humane
Engine company, No. Q, of the Nor
ristown fire department, has dog
that knows the difference between the
fire bell and the church bells and
town clocks. Spot" is the dogs
name and he is fine specimen of
the fox terrier breed.
Friday afternoon Dunlap with the
company's team was working on
Wetmore avenue. The company owns
a dirt wagon and during the day
rents the use of the horses and wagon
to the town. The outfit was close
to half mile from the engine house
with Spot" lying nearby with his
head between his paws half asleep.
Suddenly the dog jumped up and
began to bark. Running to the horses
heads he sprang at them repeatedly
barking. He soon had the team,
Tom. and Frank" excited too.
What do you suppose is the mat
ter with that dog" said Dunlap to
the men working with him. He
walked little way up the street
and then for the first time heard the
fire alarm. It took but minute to
unhook the team from the wagon and
astride Frank" and leading "Tom, ;"
with Spot running ahead. dash to
the engine house for the steamer.
That dog has better ears than /
have" said Dunlap after answering
the alarm, "and he knew the differ
ence between the fire bell and the
church bells. take him home with
me nights and when the fire bell
rings he makes more noise in the
house than my children do.''

ELECTION LAW RULING.
Democrats Lose FreehoIder Nomine,
in Wharton Borough.

democrats Lose Freehoider Nominee
in Wharton Borough.
That a member of an election board
cannot be candidate for public Of
flee was the decision of Justice
Charles w. Parker to-day in case
involving the democratic candidate
for freeholder in Wharton.
Wharton has increased in popula-
tion to such an extent that this year
the borough was entitled to one mem
Der in the board of freeholders. In
former years the borough had shared
with Randolph township in electing a
freeholder.
George Hitchings, a republican, dis
covered the fact and at the last
moment filed petition with County
Clerk Mott to have his name placed
on the primary ticket. This was a
surprise for the democrats and Waters
and Birmingham, two members of the
Wharton election board, decided they
would be candidates for the demo-
cratic nomination.
They had their friends write on the
tickets their names, the borough
clerk having the democratic tickets
printed with the space blank under
the freeholder designation.
Waters received majority, but the
validity of his candidacy was attacked
on the ground that he was mem
ber of the election board and JUS
tice Parker has ordered that his
name shall not be placed upon the
democratic tickets for the election.
A question now arises whether or
not the democratic tickets for Whar-
ton should even bear blank space
upon the ticket upon which voters
may write the name of some per-
son, it being contended that the
party failed to nominate candidate
and in consequence cannot be given
another chance to name man.

READY FOR HUNTING.
Game Birds Seen In Profusion About
Morristown.


Morristown Nimrods are casting
longing eyes towards the date of the
opening of the hunting season be-
cause of the tantalizing methods en-
pIoyed by pheasants and quail.
Game birds are not only reported
to be plentiful in this section but are
being seen about town every day.
John " G. Parker found a quail
roosting on the grape arbor in the
rear of his home on Prospect street.
Evidently hungry and seeking food
a pheasant dashed against window
in the United States hotel with such
force that the glass was broken. The
bird did not enter, however, the
crash of the breaking glass evident
iy frightening it away.

BURGLARS JIMMIED
WAY IN RESIDENCE
The Misses Perkins Again
Visited By Night Marauders.

For the second time within two
years the home of the Misses Per-
kins. 276 South street, has been burg
larized. A maid Thursday morning
found a suit of old clothes and a pair
OF suspenders on the front piazza
and this led to an investigation that
revealed the fact the house had been
visited during the night and hundreds
of dollars worth of valuables taken.
The parlor window had been jimmied
but the burglars found the parlor
door locked. Then they jimmied open
the library window. From the dining
room was taken a half dozen of
Chinese hand carved silver spoons
and dozen and half of coffee
spoons. The house was robbed Octo-
Der goth, 1909, and 81 900 worth of
silver and jewelry taken and since
then the family has kept the silver,
with the exception of that used on
the tables, in safe deposit vault.
H. G. Perkins, of Washington. a
brother of the Misses Perkins, spent
the night with his sisters and the
burglars entered his room. They took
his clothing, including dark blue
suit. shirt and underwear. Mr.. Per-
kins' cuff buttons, wach and chain.
jade studs and cigar case. But
the thieves overlooked wallet con-
tanning 5000 and a twenty dollar
gold piece lying on the bureau. The
shirt and underwear were left in the
bathroom but one of the burglars
evidently wore away the suit, leaving
his own on the piazza.
Miss Maud Perkins room was visitt
and her watch and chain and pocket
book containing $50 taken. From
closet opening off from Miss Per-
kins' room was taken a silver CON-
munion service for the sick, includ-
ing candlesticks, vases and an old
Roman spoon. The silver figure was
torn from the wooden crucifix. A
strong box also in the closet was
forced open and the private papers
1t contained We're thrown upon the
floor, though gold nugget was taken.
At the time of the burglary the
family were asleep in the house in
cluding the Misses Perkins, Mr.. Per-
kins and the maids. When the suit
of clothing was found on the piazza
the police were telephoned that a
drunken man had disrobed himself
and told to look out for him. The
significance of the clothing was not
discovered until some time later.
Foot prints in soft earth near the
parlor window show that there were
two men. An umbrella was found
leaning against tree.
When the house was robbed two
years ago there was great com
motion in Morristown and resulted in
the formation of the Morristown Pro-
tective association.
An unidentified man was found
short time after the first robbery in
the belfry of the school building at
German Valley. The man had burg
lars tools with him and he was in
dicted for carrying concealed weapons
and for breaking and entering.
The man steadfastly refused to give
his name and he was known as John
Doe. He was tried, convicted and
sentenced to state prison. 1t was
believed that John Doe knew some
thing of the former Perkins robbery
but the state was unable to prove any
connection between him and the
crime.

tinuation Of good weather this week

ground. The wheat acreage will be
fairly large, due in part to the fact
that much OF the land was plowed and
prepared for seeding last fall. There
win. however, be much liberalization
in Bottineau county this year. Many
farmers who have previously kept pref

year plant corn, clover, tame grasses

Bottineau county has for many years
been a great fax district, but until
the high prices became a temptation
there was a tendency TO a decrease in
the acreage. But 1t is probable the
acreage this year VIII be greater than
ever before. Several farmers who have
tracts OF prairie are putting gasolene
tractor outfits to work to break up the
sod and prepare II for FAX.
For year there has been a scarcity
OF hay and oats and other feed crops,
and as consequence large acreage
will be devoted to such crops this year.
The soil is in surprisingly good con-
dition and there Is plenty of moisture
to start the crop nicely If there is
a reasonable amount OF rainfall after
the crop is up, the chances are excel
lent for good yields

FOREARM WAS
ALL SHOT AWAY

Walhalla Mountaineer: A sad acct
cident occurred TO William Moran
young man about II years of age, on
Saturday. On Monday of last week
he returned. along with a party of
students from the Indian school at
Wahpeton, and was to work for the
coming summer with relative, one Of
the Jerome family. In the Elm Point
settlement. In company with another
young man they went hunting wolves
on Saturday and located one in it's
burrow and started to smoke II out
They gathered leaves and twigs and
pushed them into the hole and started
the fire going but as It was not burn
ing Well enough to suit Moran, he
used the butt Of his shot gun to stir
il up, running the gun some distance
down the hole. The result is the US
ual one of the careless use of a gun
the hammer caught on the hard frozen
ground and the gun discharged its
load Of shot and powder into the arm
tearing most of the flesh off of the
right forearm. Moran walked some
three miles home and drove about
seven miles to town, where DR.. Lam
dry dressed the wound and says that
he hopes to save the use OF the hand
although the muscles are badly cut UP.

BUYS A
GIANT HORSE

jamestown. n. D., April 26.--A new
gas traction engine for farm work
has been received by John watson Of
Beaver Creek farm. and was unioaded
at the jamestown yards yesterday.
The rig Is known as the Giant Horse.
thirty horse power engine actual. The
engine win pull eight breaking plaws
in sod and twelve stuhhle plows. From
twenty TO forty acres a day breaking
can be done according to the different
conditions OF soil, the stone in the land,
etc.
1t is claimed that the work OF break
ing is better than that done by hand
and horse power, Stones are removed
from the land wherever they are seen
in using the traction engine but the
plows are made very heavy and II is
not often that a lathe is broken even
when striking stone.
1t Is claimed that the manufacturers
have improved the working Of the
plows equally with the development
of the engine. which is also used for
power for threshing and for other
farm purposes besides blowing, The
wheels are eight feet in height and
although the engine weighs 1900
pounds, the wheels cut into the ground
less than other machinery used on
account of the wide tread.

HEALY RECEIVERS
LONG LOST HORSES

Lankin Reporter: Thos. Healy. who
lives four miles south Of Lankin, lost
two valuable mares and colt last
october, and despite all efforts to To-
cate the animals no track Of them was
found for several months, and then
only through the fact that the horses
strayed away again did Mr. Healy find
them.
When the horses disappeared in
October 1t was Thought that they had
strayed from Mr. Healy's pasture in
the west part OF Cleveland, but 1t is
now plainly apparent that they were
stolen. The animals were missed On
Oct. 10, and on Get. IL, a man agiv-
ing the name of Johnson appeared in
Crazy, Ramsey county, with team and
colt and sold them to Emerson Woods,
of that place for 1910. The fellow
told Mr. Woods that he lived with his
father near Lankin and that the team
was his. Mr.. Woods kept the team only
day, when he sold them to Clint
Roberts, farmer living near there, for
1910, 500 more than he paid for
them. Mr.. Roberts kept the horses all
winter and no thought was entertained
that they had been stolen. About
March 20 the animals strayed out
through the open pasture gate and at
night Mr.. Roberts looked for them
but found that they had disappeared.
Remembering that the fellow who
had sold them to Mr.. Woods had
stated he was from near Lankin, Rob-
erts wrote to J. II. Vorachek and
asked whether or not he knew of the
horses and to watch for them. Mr..
vorachek recognized the horses from
the description sent as belonging to
Mr. Healy, and search was at once
instituted for them. Monday Of last
week they were found southwest Of
Healy's place about six miles, evidently
being on their way home.
Mr.. Roberts instantly recognized that
the horses were Mr.. Healy's and sur
rendered all claim to them readily.
He will probably ask Mr.. Woods to
stand for the loss, and in the meantime
an attempt win he made to act the
thief. The authorities feel convinced
that they have track OF him. and 1t Is
not unlikely that he will be appre-
hended soon.
Mr.. Heaiy was put to quite an ex-
pense in his long search for the anil
mails, but ID greatly pleased that he
has recovered them.

DUFAULT HELD ON
LARCENY CHARGE
BONDS WERE FIXED AT $500
WAIVED EXAMINATION YES
TERDAY MORNING.

Grand Forks, N. ID. April 26.-Ed
Dufault, the Westhope man, who was
located in this city by the police about
ten days ago, having in his possession
81 900 worth Of jewelry, was arraigned
before a justice of the peace in Bot
tineau this morning, where he had been
taken by Sheriff Sandstrom last Mon
day. He waived examination and was
bound over TO the July term of tho
district court, bond being fixed at ST.,
800.
Dufault, when questioned by the To-
cal police as to where he obtained the
jewelry, stated that 1t had been given
him in payment of a note his brother
owed him. Investigation developed the
fact that his brother, who was eperat-
ing jewelry store in Westhope, had
been burned out, the circumstances Of
the fire being such as to warrant an in
vestigation, and that the insurance
companies had not as yet settled up
the losses.
The insurance agents and officials
of Bottineau county have been con-
Quoting an investigation the past
week and found evidence enough
against Dufault TO hold him for lar
ceny. Dufault has not as yet OBJ
tanned the necessary $500 bond bur
expects to have 1t by this evening.
