inter- scholastic basketball ever seen
in Fargo the Tower City high school
quint met defeat at the hands OF the
midgets by a score OF 33 to %. Satur-
day afternoon. The game was mark
ed throughout by fast. consistent

grabbing the game but the midgets
settled down and won out. The shoot

half showed a big Improvement.

Evidence Picked up by a Dictagraph

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 1S.-Three
kinds of evidence, it was learned today,
are being prepared by the government
for its prosecution of the 81 men in
dtcted IN the dynamite conspiracy 1t
was stated by District Attorney c. w.
Miller that all this evidence is to be
corroborated by witnesses whose names
are already known, and the evidence
chiefly is about 10000 letters and tele-
grams taken from the headquarters
here of the International Association
Of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
which, according to charges in the in
dictments, shows that President F. M.
Ryan, Secretary Treasurer H. S,

Dictaaraph Records to Be Used.

'McManigars confession probably
will be the basis of the prosecution, -

the country have verified his state
ments as to when and where he was in
connection with particular explosions.
About 500 Of these witnesses were be-

Dictasraph Worked Satisfactorily.

ment's telephone apparatus which was

October, and by which two govern
ment stenographers in a room below
