These gentlemen advised US that
work on the subway would be
started within short time. The
matter of putting in crossing
near the stockyards was also re-

situation the officials decided that
same was essential to all concerned.
They also assured Wibaux of the
much needed improvements in the
way of freight and waiting room
facilities.

BURGLARY Follow
ed by Hot Fire
F. J. Stipek's Store Rided
by Burgulars and later
was Found in Flames

On Thursday morning at about
five O'Clock the Fire Department
was called into quick service when
a blaze was discovered in the rear
Of F. }. Stipek's store.
The fire would have made short
work Of the place had it not been
for the prompt action of the Fire
Department, which soon had the
blaze under control, and as it was,
heavy damage was sustained 10
the leather goods that hung from
the ceiling. The total damage to
building and stock is estimated at
between $4,000 and IS, 900.
Immediately after the firemen
completed their work, an investi-
cation was made as to the origin,
and it was discovered that the store
had been burgularized, and it is be-
lieved that the fire was started by
burning lamp, which was sitting
close to the casing of the side win
dow at the rear of the store, as the
lamp was found in close contact
with the boards that were burned
most.
There being but little draft,
the blaze shot up and spread out
along the ceiling, scorching it for
considerable distance, and burn
ing the leather goods, while prac-
tically every shoe box in the
building was smoked to a dark
brown shade, and of course con-
siderable damage also resulted
from water.
Upon further investigation a
small stock of goods was found
near the stock yards, including
gloves, saddle blankets, watches
and also several shoes, the mate
to one of which was found later
in the store.
Following the investigation,

Ball Team to
be Organized
At Enthusiastic Meet
ing Many Questions
were Determined

The regular session of the Cham
Der of Commerce held on Monday
evening was an exceedingly enthu-
siastic one. Many important ques-
tions were brought up for discussion
and much was accomplished in a
business way.
Among the leading questions at
this meeting was that Of organizing
a ball team for the season of 1911,
and after but little discussion it
was determined that Wibaux
should be in the game with good
team.
Accordingly steps were taken to
perfect an organization, and the
following managers and officers
were elected:
w. Ii. Rucker. y. Y. Manager
j. G. Kinney Asst Manager
W. Q. Schuett. !. Asst Manager
J. @. Kinney 49, -. Treasurer
S. Stanley Mcmahon Secretary
Following the election Of officers
the chair appointed Il finance CON-
mittee Of five, namely, AL Davis,
L. j. Bushell, w. o. Schuett, j.
9. Kinney and E. D. Baker, to
raise the necessary funds, and at
this writing they have already
raised So, 500.
A committee on grounds was
next appointed, consisting of J. C.
Kinney, Joe McFillin, AL Davis,
W. II. Rucker and E. E. Jordan,
who will arrange for a new ball
park, which will probably be map
ped out in the Davis addition.
A communication from Secretary
Nelson, of Glen Ullen, N. d., was
read. in which an invitation was
extended to the Wibaux ball team
to send delegate to Dickinson on
April lst, when a baseball sched-
ule will be arranged.
The Chamber then took up the
matter of Fourth of July celebra.
ton, and after a short discussion
it was on motion unanimously
adopted that a grand celebration
be given at Wibaux on July 4th.
At the close of the baseball ses-
sion a suggestion, which semed to
to meet with general favor, was
with reference to forming a
stock company with view to man.
age all amusements, such as fairs,
races, ball games, etc. 1t was al
SO suggested that the company be
known as the Wibaux County Fair
Association. Although no definite
action on the matter was taken at
this time, it will probably receive
further consideration at the next
regular session of the Chamber,
when the committee on grounds
will report.
