High School Notes.

The basket ball game between SteE
hen. Mimi, and our boys at the Cit
Hall last Saturday proved to be Gas
game AS was predicted in last week
Pioneer Express. The Stephen boy
outweighed our team and had the I'D
vantage of experience az they are an oil
team and we'll drilled while Our boy
were playing tEeir third game with othe
schools. The game was we'll attende,
and we came out just about even in th
matter of expenses.
During the first half Stephen had al
the best of i, and The half ended will
the score IL to in their favor. Durin,
the second half Pembina had awakened
up to the fact at defeat was starin1
them in the face and they not only out
played their more experienced opponents
but overcame the difference in points
and led them by three points. During
the last few minutes Of the game Fred
Wardwell made two of the prettiest has.
kets the writer has seen made in a long
time. On technically that the player
took too many steps before throwing for
the basket the Stephen referee, Mr..
Green, declared both baskets void. The
writer who has had nine years expert
ence in this game was also an official in
the game and saw both plays plainly
and thinks. both baskets should have
been allowed and also told Mr. Green SO.
BY throwing both baskets out, as Mr..
Green sought to do. Stephen would be
one point ahead and by allowing both as
we think he should have done and which
we think would have been square deal,
Pembina would have won by three points.
Stephen went home declaring the game
by one point. The writer "sp!its the
let's them throw out one of
our baskets and declares Pemblna the
winner by one point.
1t was pretty contest and we feel
that we have good reasons to congratu-
late our players on the spirit they show
ed and the way they went into the game
With determination to do their best
win or lose. We hope in after years
they will fight just as hard in the battles
Of life, and boys, # you do your success
in any undertaking is just as sure to fol-
low las the night the day."
The following boys composed our team:
Fred Wardwell, captain: Douglas Nc
Kay, Bart Conmy. John Booker, John
Peterson and Curtis Figley. G. D. G.

AWFUL TRAGEDY
AT DRAYTON.
REX WALLACE SHOOTS FATHER
HARRY W.WALLACE DEAD. HIS
WOUNDS CASHIER STONG AND
THEN KILLS HIMSELF.

Monday night on the arrival of the N.
P. flyer at Drayton, one of the passen-
gers who got off was Rex Wallace, son of
Harry w. Wallace, president of the
First National Bank of Drayton. Young
Wallace instead of going to the family
home which is just across the track
from the depot, went down the street to
the bank. In the bank were Mr.. Wal
lace and his two sons-in-law Cashier
Stong and Book. keeper Hanson. The
three men hau Just started to leave. AS
Mr.. Stong took hold of the door knob he
felt someone take hold on the outside.
The door being partially opened, young
Wallace was seen by both Stong and Mr..
Wallace. Mr.. Wallace told Stong to
close the door which he did. Then Rex
fired through the glass with 81 revol.
yer, and struck Stong in the cheek; Rex
then opened the door and he and his
father met in clinch. The elder Wal
lace having lost one hand about year
ago, by blood poisoning was therefore at
disadvantage though he was otherwise
q large, strong man. The boy managed
to get his revolver in position to shoot
his father in the stomach just above the
navel, then when the father fell to the
floor the son put the revolver to the ear
of his father and sent bullet through
the brain. Then fourishing the revolt
YER in the face of Hanson, he cried II
do not want you but get away from here"
which Hanson did through side door
as soon as possible. Hanson then went
across the street and gave the alarm,
city marshal Barton being there, Barton
ran over to the bank but before he ar
rived young Wallace had gone to the
back room Of the bank and taking of
his overcoat and other wrappings, took
some letters and kilograms fsom biz
pocket, tore them mp and then shot him
self in the head firing two shots. Mar.
shall Barton found both the father and
son still breathing but tho - died

the father, but which was not paid,

al, as the boy claimed, the father prom
ised when the boy left home some three
years ago to take position in st.
Paul bank, that If "he made good" in
two years that he would give the boy
t25,O0O.
It seems that the boy applied to the
father for the money SO promised and
the father refused to give it. Why not,
is not known to the public but probably
there was difference in opinion between
the son and Mr.. Wallace as to the full
! tillment on the boys part of the bargain.
Then Rex seemed to have lost his am-
bition to make good" Anyway it is
stated that year ago he came to Dray-
ton with the avowed intention to kill his
father. Then he was headed off and
was arrested and taken to Grafton. The
father went over and made a compro-
mise and gave Rex sum of money and
he went away again going to Kansas
City.
Last January, at the Y. NJ G. A. rooms
at st. Paul, he began making threats
against his father and the police were
called in and they arrested him and
the father. The father
went to Sd Paul and again there was a
sort of settlement, Mr.. Wallace giving
Rex some s4UO and having his promise
10 go to Fort Worth, Texas and start in
again. 1t is also stated that about a
month ago Rex wrote two letters again
asking for money but his letters were
ignored by his father. Then he came
himself on Monday evening with the
awful results.
