Last Saturday evening at the Agassiz
gymnasium in one of the fastest bas-
ketball games ever played between
Fargo and Moornead the Midgets won
from the Moorhead high by the score
of IS to IL. Hines vas easily the star
OF the game, although only landing one
field goal; his floor work was the sem
sation of the evening, and it was us
ually his passing that made the Fargo
baskets possible. Captain Melchior OF
the Midgets, played a wonderful ag-
gressive game, keeping his opponents
on the jump all the time; he secured
three field and six foul goals, making
IL u of the IS points for Fargo. For
Moorhead Peterson was the big noise.
securing seven fouls and one field goal.
Nemzek at guard played a fine game
and kept his team from being scored
on many times. The shooting of Fargo
was poor and If they had gotten all
the easy shots the score would have
been exceedingly large. Too many long
shots were tried. overly playing for
ward for Moorhead was probably the
fastest man Moorhead had, securing
two field goals. This was the first big
game played at the Agassiz and a large
crowd was present, showing that the
new gym is not too far distant from
town, which was ~prophesied early in
the season.

BASEBALL TEAM NEEDED

Men of MOOrheRd and Fargo In
tereEted Now.

Manager Murray, who brought the
Moorhead Athletics through the past
season in good shape, believes that
there will be a sufficient number of
fans across the river and on this side
to secure a semi-professional team for
the coming season and in the near flu
ture he Will make an endeavor to in
terest the business men in the project.
He believes a team composed partly
of home and foreign players will make
money, for he was successful last year
in more than clearing his expenses and
making a little money. He believes
that a league composed of North Da-
kota towns would prove to be a good
thing and says that it might be posi-

nice rivalry between Bismarck and
Mandan, and between Valley City and
Jamestown, while If Grand Forks
would come In the excitement between
the Fargo-Moorhead team would be
great.

PARENTS OF TRUANT.

Mandan, N. D., Feb. 3.-The aver
age citizen of the county does not
seem aware of the fact that truancy
on the part of school children can
be heavily visited upon the heads of
the parents, yet the law of the state
provides this, and two Almont fam
lilies recently found 1t out to their
cost,
One was Nick Nickel, and the 9TH
err was Peter Dietz, both of whom
were lined for allowing their chill
dren to remain put of public school
without good and sufficient xcuse.
superintendent Lorin made a visit to
that part Of the county quite recent
that particular line were not Is good
as might be. The two mentioned
were complained against and war
rants were issued for their arrest,
which was made last Friday by Con-
stable Egge of New Salem.
Both defendants pleaded guilty be-
fore Justice Templeton of Almont and
both were fined So and costs; the
costs against Nickel were $3.50 and
against Dietz were $3.50. Both men
paid the money and promised to see
that. their children attend school more
regularly in the future.
This is something which every pa
rent should attend to, and Mr.. Lorin
does not mean to stop with these
two: ~carelessness in school attend

done away with.

|FRATICIDE HAS
ESCAPED MOOSE
SLAYER OF GREAT BEND MAN
GETS HIS SENTENCE
COMMITTED.

Hankinson, n. D.. Feb. 3.-News has
been received from Calgary, Alberta,
that Ed Stokely, who was sentenced
to be hanged on Jan. "a, had his SEN
tence committed the day before he was
to be executed, and will now go to
prison for life.
His crime was the murder of his
brother, F. A. Stokely, formerly North
ern Pacific agent at Great Bend, this
county. Removing to Canada. the
Stokely brothers engaged in the cattle
business. They quarreled and decided
to divide their holdings. The quarrel
was intensified when it came to max
ing the division and eliminated in the
fatal shooting of F. A. by his brother,
Ed. Ed was tried for murder, found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged on
Dec. "a. A stay of one month was
granted just before the date fixed for
the execution. and sentence is now
committed to life Imprisonment.
F. A. Stokely was well known and
highly respected both at Great Bend
and Hankinson. He was a frequent
visitor here and his shocking death
at the hands of his brother was a great
surprise to his many friends here. He
was a married man but his wife had
left him prior to the shooting. He was
a member of the Great Bend camp of
the Modern Woodmen and carried ST.

CASS MAY BECOME
States ATTORNEY

Mandan, N. D., Feb. 3.-The inter-

ed to develop in the case involving
the Office Of states attorney Of Mercer
county, did not m~aterialize, but ended
in a very tame and all around salts
factory manner. AS previously stated.
Saturday, Jan. 25, was the date or
which an alternative writ of man
damus issued about three weeks ago
by Judge Nuchols, was made return
able.
Although J. L. Cass had been elect
ed to the office. r. S. Enge set up the
claim that he was not qualified, as
he was not a member Of h bar in
this state at the time he was elect
ed, although he was before the time
came to take over the Office. So Mr..
Enge held onto the books, papers and
appurtenances until Mr.. Cass had to
adopt strenuous means to jar him
loose.
Judge Nuchols issued the alterna-
tive writ giving Mr.. Enge the choice
of turning over the Office or appear
ing on or before the date returnablo
to show cause why he did not do as
directed. Saturday came and went
and neither MI. Enge nor Mr.. Cass
put in an appearance, so the logical
conclusion is that the former allowed

pastime is fast becoming the national
pastimc Of many another nation. The
Cubans have been the first to take to
the ball and bat and now France IS
getting interested. The Japa have al
ready shown quite a little agility at
chasing flies and China is now laying
out grandstands and diamonds. At the
very latest reports the Australians are
eVtdenCing an interest and it would
seem that it is only a matter OF a short
while before all the rest of the powers
fall in line and have a good excuse for
coming home late to supper. What's
the scorer and "Who pitched?" will
be heard in every tongue.
The Cubans have deserted their be-
loved cock-fghts for the diamond
pastime. 1t used to be in Cuba thai
Sunday afternoon all the men-folks
went down to the cOCk-ights and spent
all their weeks wages betting on the
little ROSTERS. Now all has changed
the ball game. And it is probable that
1t will be for the betteTment of their
immortal souls. Going to a ball game
even of a Sabbath-is better than.
making poor little roosters fight to
death.
When the little cousins in foreign
lands become quite adept at tossing
the pill a score card will look like a
college exam. in languages. The scout
for the Chicago Cubs will dig up a
phenom of an inielder playing in the
Balkan States league and the Cubs will
sign him Offering a couple of worn-out
pitchers in the trade. Wen have an
Eskimo on third and a South Sea
islander covering first. What with all
the trading and signing and various
deals that are pulled in baseball, a
ball team will be nothing If not Co.'S
mopoIitan.
And to qualify as an umpire!
You'd have to enc 500 languages.
