the national pastime seen in this city
in many day. The game was no.
body's until the last man was out in
the ninth lining. The locals garnered
their first run on wild heave to first
by the Glendive backstop, who dropped
the ball after TIN ee strikes had been
called. This run broke the ice and
the home team with renewed courage
frightened their fighting line and kept
the visitors from making a count in
the score column until the fifth inning
when they got q runner across the
Foyster. The score stood / to in
favor of Milestown when the gong
sounded at the opening of the sixth,
and several Of the fans who had jour
neped here with the Giendive boys. got
little over indulgent when their fav-
orites broke through the crust with one
run, and it is rumored one or two of
them were taken into camp to the
tune of several dollars that had been
wagered on the outcome. GlendIve
annexed another run in her half Of the
sixth, making the score 8 to 2, and
the excitement in the bleachers and
along the side lines as well as from
those in the riekety grandstand mad
overreached the control mark, and
were emitting lusty howls of delight
at the slightest provocation. The
fateful seventh session however, was
the one that brought home the ba-
con- for the locals. They added two
more TO their string in this inning

The Glendive Special to Sidney last
Thursday carried 565 passengers to
that city to help celebrate the compile
tion of the new Northern Pacific Di-
vision running between Glendive and
Sidney. The train equipment was
the best the Northern Pacific Railroad
affords, consisting Of seven coaches,
and the private cars Of Superintendent
Lantry and General Manager j. M.
Rapelje. The train ran with the first
train orders issued for the new division
and was in charge of A. E. Anderson,
conductor; C. II. Young, engineer; H.
l.. Rogers, fireman; c. L. Stewart
and E. B. Wester, brakemen.
The Eastern Montana Military Band
accompanied the delegation from
Glendive. Two 2O-foot banners were
displayed on the side of the cars car
rying the slogan, Dawson County
Boosters from Glendive, Montana.
The special picked up passengers at
Stipek, Intake and Burns, and at Saw
age the Glendive Band serenaded the
visitors who welcomed the train, and
the Savage Commercial Club headed
by the Savage Band accompanied the
Glendive Special on their way to the
celebration at Sidney. A large crowd
boarded the train at Crane, and when
the special pulled into Sidney at 10 30,
she was crowded to the limit.
Sidney citizens were out enmasse to
meet the special with 40 automobiles,
carrying all the passengers from the
station to the headquarters of the Sid
ney Commercial Club.
Sidney was decorated in honor of
the railroads completion with the
Northern Pacific colors, red and black.
The decorations were on an unusually
large scale covering every building in
the town, with large festoons across
the streets fifty feet apart on every
street in the town
There was nothing lacking in the
welcome extended to the 2, 600 visitors
in Sidney last Thursday.
Upon the arrival of the Glendive
special the formal exercises of the day
were opened, and the immenst- crowd
was addressed by the Northern Pacific
officials, who were represented by
General Manager Rapelje, Superin-

Before ths motion could be put
there was a chorus of yeas" and the
delegates began to crowd out OF the
hall
No one heard the motion to adjourn
or James announcement that the con-
vention was adjourned sine die.
The motion was declared carried at
1:56 and the Democratic convention
was over
Bryan Makes His "VaIedictory."
In the early part of the final session
Mr.. Bryan had announced his intea-
tion OF introducing a resolution in eff
feet discharging the national commit
tee from conduct of the coming cam
paign and allowing Governor Wilson
to appoint his own campaign commit
tee. He was dissuaded from this
course and instead Of making a move
that might have stirred up strife he
made a little speech which he termed
his 'valedictory," and in happy vein
turned over the mantle OF his former
leadership as presidential candidate
TO Governor Wilson.
He pledged his faithful support to
the presidential nominee and ended
By urging that either Governor Burke
or Senator George Chamberlain OF
Oregon be nominated for vice presi-
dent. The Nebraskan was understood
particularly to favor Governor Burke
as type Of the modern progressive.
When, after the first ballot, some
one moved to make the nomination Of
Marshall unanimous Mr. Bryan start
ed for the stage to make a statement.
The motion was withdrawn before he
| could speak. When the motion was
renewed after the second ballot Mr..
Bryan did not protest.

vision, General Agent Squirting, and
Travelling Immigrant Agent Moore.
Messrs. F. P. Leiper and E. j. Berry
spoke in behalf Of the citizens of
Glendive and Dawson County, and
Editor Mitchell of Fairview responded
in behalf of the citizens of the Lower
Valley.
Band concerts were given thruout
the day and evening by the Glendive,
Savage, Fairview and Sidney bands.
All kinds Of amusements were carried
out as per The program for the enter
tainment Of the visitors, starting with
a vaudeville performance at one
o'clock, followed by a tennis game
between Savage and Sidney, in which
Savage came out victorious, winning
the loving cup. The baseball game
between Glendive and Sidney was well
worth going that distance to see,
Glendive winning from Sidney with
score Of 6 to 1, and one Of the best
games of ball that has been played
this season. During the evening q
large bowery dance was held, which
afforded sufficient pleasure to hold the
crowd until the early hours of the
morning.
The Glendive Special reached home
at 10 30 that night, everybody agree
ing it to be one of the most pleasant
trips they ever made. Not a single
drunk, or disorder of any kind occurr-
ed on the trip or during the day to
mar anyone's pleasure. 1t was an
eyeopener to many of our people to
see the beauty Of the Lower Yellow
stone Valley. The entire valley shows
every evidence Of prosperity, and the
crop prospects are the best that this
county has ever known.
The Glendiye delegation made quite
a hit with their badges which read,
''For the Lands Sake, Dawson Coun~
ty Boosters, from Glendive, Mont
ana.
Over 200 attended the celebration
from Savage, 30 from Crane, 400 from
Fairview, and in the crowd were to be
found the representative citizens from
every section of Dawson county.
MIR. Z. NJ. Riton, who has charge
of the train service Of the new divis-
ion, accompanied the train and gave
his personal assistance TO the comfort
and safety of the road's guests.

in this inning also that one of the
Miles City players, Arder by name,
caught the ball squareIy on the nose
and it sailed gracefully over the fence

the longest hits ever seen at a game

runs to overcome when they step

Of weakening, and it looked, after
they had showed two more over, that
it would be an extra inning affair.

Vote Scattered on FIRST Ballot.
The ballot showed a widely scat
tered vote and 1t was apparent early
in the roll call that there would be
no nomination on the first ballot. Gen
orally the anti-Bryan delegates were
inclined to support Marshall, but the
lines were not sharply drawn.
The Indianan took the lead, how
ever, from the start and many of the
Nilson-Bryan states cast their votes
for him
The straight Wilson vote generally
went to Burke or Chamberlain.
The first ballot on the vice presi-
deHtial nomination gave Marshall 3S9,
Burke 30525, Chamberlain 15. The
remainder Of the vote was scattered
among native sons.
The result Of the second ballot was
announced: Marshall 64512. Burke
387B, Chamberlain 121a.
Representative Hughes of New Jer-
sey moved that Marshall be nominal

called. Before the roll call could be
