another victory Tuesday evening by
defeating the Tolley team by score

at times but interesting owing to the
tight pinches which the home team pull

ball, with men on bases but was a trifle
wild. The locals scored times in the
second. Rice was hit by piched ball,
went to third on Munsons single and
both scored on Menzel's double. Moore
drove in Menzel with the 3rd score of
the inning. In the 4th Bowbells scored

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Madden, Sr., is
very popular among the younger people
of the city and makes friends wherever
she goes. For the past several years
she has been teaching school and in

since been resident of this great
Bowbells country. He homesteaded a

to Finish Saturday

The Old Settlers Picnic at Flaxton
Saturday was probably one of the big
gest successes in getting and enter
taining crowd that was ever done in
that village. From early morning un-
til late in the afternoon the people
flocked in from all directions; every
train was loaded to its capacity and
every wagon, buggy, and auto obtain
able in the county was dressed into
use. All had an excellent time, and
none regretted having spent the day at
the picnic.
The entertainment started at 1920
in the morning with a grand parade,
headed by the band. The parade was
nearly two blocks long and was CON-
posed of floats made up very artistic
ally. Next came an exhibition by the
fire department which was also greatly
enjoyed by the crowd. The address of
welcome was delivered by w. P. Nest
Ter, and the Invocation by Rev. D.
Sampson of this city, after which the
address of the day was delivered by
Major j. S. Murphy of Minot.
The basket dinner was something en-
joyed by everybody. Practically all
the old settlers, and many of the ones
not so old brought their dinners with
them, and had feast all by themselves
in the genuine picnic style.
In the afternoon ball game was
played for purse of $50 between COL
umbus and Ignite. No less than
1000 people watched this game. 1t
was played unusually fast, and result
ed in score of 7 to IN favor of COL
umbus.
Immediately after the ball game the
races and other stunts were pulled off
on Main street. This consisted of foot
races, sack races, byoicle races, old
settlers foot races. CREASED pie and

Many people went home Immediately
after the game, but the majority of
the crowd stayed for the dance in the
evening: The dance took place in the
Hovland and Swennes Hall and was
very largely attended, and all present
report dandy time.

The big feature of the Flaxton cele-
bration celebration was the game be-
tween Columbus and Bowbells. The
game opened with Russell on the
mound for Bowbells and LaCosta for
Columbus. The latter was in fine form
until the sixth session, when a success
sion of hits and pilfered bases by the
Bowbells aggregation netted five runs
accentuated the superiority of Masters
men. In the meantime Russell pitched
excellent ball, holding the opposing
batsmen to two scratch hits and strik-

STEALS A
:. REGISTER
Mail Clerk on No.. los Takes
Registered Letter, is Arrest
ed, and Confesses

! Paul Engel, one of the railway mail
clerks on train 1866 running between
Enderlin and Portal, was arrested last
week. charged with stealing register
ed package containing 100000 in
currency. He was taken to Fargo
Saturday by U. S. deputy marshall
to appear in federal court before Judge
Amidon. 80.
The register, which has caused this
young mans downfall, was mailed by
a bank in one Of the towns on the
Bismarck line to their Minneapolis re-
serve bank. The registered mail from
Bismarck line is transferred to the
clerks on the main line of the 500 at
Drake for which the clerks receipt.
1t appears that the clerk on the Bis
marek line made an error in billing out
his registers and included the package
of money, which was first class mail,
with his bulk billing of third and
fourth class matter. 1t is presumed
that Engel, upon noticing the other
clerks technical error in not making a
seperate record of the package of
money, thought he saw good oppor-
tunity to Gift" the register and by
standing pat, the inspectors would
never be able to prove it against him.
Like many others who go wrong. up
on the Impulse of the moment, it all
looked so easy to him that he receipted
for the correct number of registers and
evidently depended upon the mere ON
mission of the specific record to let him
out of it.
When the money did not arrive at
the depositing bank within a reason
able time an investigation was ordered
and inspectors put to work on the case.
A call was made for an itemized state
ment from all postofices ana connecting
lines Of all registered mail either dis,
patched to 81 received from Engel on
the day the money would come to his
hands. This data, together with other
facts the inspectors were able to OBJ
tam, enabled them to trace the regis
ter to the point of transfer, centering
the investigation down to Engel and
the clerk on the Bismarck line.
Engel withstood the sweat-box
ordeal bravely at first but ut the expir-
alton of the second day his nerve failed
and he made a full confession of the
whole unfortunate affair and turned
over the entire amount of money the
register contained, $l,OO0.O0, to the
Offices who had him in charge.
Clerk Engel has always borne an ex-
cellent reputation and was we'll thought
Of liked and by his fellow workmen. He
was not considered to be in strained
circumstances financially and his
friends are at a loss to understand his
sudden yielding to temptation, if it
may be classed as that, with which
are confronted almost daily. as most of
the currency shipments, of late years,
are made throught the mails.
The fact that he returned all of the
money, besides making tull confession
will undoubtedly be-in his favor when
he appears before the federal judge for
sentence, and it is thought he will
receive a lighter sentence than he
otherwise would
