STATE DEFEATS N. D. AGGiES

The State College football team
triumphed over the North Dakota Ag.
ricultural college at Sioux Falls on
Saturday afternoon. The margin Of
victory was a narrow one, the score
being z to 6, and the failure of North
Dakota to kick goal lost them the
chance to tie the GORE. However, all
the reports indicate that the local
team had all the best OF the argument
and only hard luck-or maybe it should
be called poor playing-prevented
Brookings from scoring a couple Of
times more. South Dakota had the
ball within striking distance OF their
opponents goal four times in the last
half of the game, but fumbles of for
ward passes and a vigorous defense
by North Dakota prevented a score.
The local team went down to Sioux
Falls Friday morning and on Saturday
morning a special train left here carry
ing about $50 students and townspeo-
pie, with the State College band.
Many went overland by auto and this
crowd together with the alumni and
old students who gathered from differ.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. Shell
den in north Bookings was the scene
of a quiet home wedding last evening,
when their daughter, Miss Nettie be-
came the bride Of Mr.. Fay Atkinson

by only the nearest relatives and a few
intimate friends of the young couple.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. NJ. S. Axtell of Manitowoc, Wis,
an old friend of the family. The young
couple were unattended.
Before and after the ceremony selec-
-tions were rendered by Miss Frances

hood friend of the bride.
After congratulations delicious re-
freshments were served.
The house decorations We're pretty
and artistic, consisting of yellow
chrysanthemums and smilax.
The brides dress was of white wolfe,
trimmed with fiat Venisse lace.
Mr.. and Mrs. Atkinson left on the
late train for a wedding trip to the
Twin Cities, after which they will be
at home at White.
This marriage united two OF Brook
ings county's well known and popular
young people and both are graduates
of the State College, completing their
course the same year-1910. The
bride is a most charming and accomp-
lished young lady, well fitted in every
way to make her husbands home a
happy one, and the young man who
has won her is indeed fortunate. Mr..
Atkinson is we'll known in Brookings
and is highly esteemed for his many
good qualities. The young people start
out in life under the happiest circum-
stances and with the best wishes Of a

TROUBLE AT UNIVERSITY
Five Students Suspended for Hazing
and Others Threaten to Strike

Yesterdays Sioux Falls Press says:
Because the faculty refused to re-
instate the five students recently sus-
pended, two of whom were strong men
on the football team, Manager Godfrey
Frye Of the South Dakota university
football eleven last night cancelled the
game with Denver university which
was to have been played in Sioux
Falls Saturday. The team refused to
play with two men out of the game and
it was rumored at the university last
night that the entire football schedule
for this Year may be cancelled.
The action Of the manager in a
ceiling the game followed the refusal
by the university faculty to act favor
ably on the petition of the student
body to have five young men, recently
suspended for hazing, reinstated.
Grover Potts, center and Frank Nc
Cormick, end, OF the varsity eleven,
are among the five suspended.
The students, who are apparently
acting in a body in opposition to the
ruling Of the instructors, are greatly
upset by the action of the faculty. A
meeting will be held early this morn
ing to decide on what course to take.
1t is rumored that about 100 students
will go on a strike and leave the in
stitution if the faculty does not recede
from its position.
The trouble which has resulted in
the suspension of five students, can
collation. of the South Dakota Denver
game, with a threatened complete de-
moralization of the entire schedule
for the season and the possible strike
of 100 students, vas brought about by
the hazing of a student named Miller,
from Hudson.
Dispatches from Vermillion state
that Miller brought upon himself the
wrath of the upper classmen by re-
fusing to abide by their dictates and
wear a green cap until November 1.
1t is said that his %effrontry so incens-
ed the students that they determined
upon heroic measures to cure him of
his alleged INSTRUMENTATION and handl-
ed him rather roughly, but did not in
jure him"

MAN KILLED BY TRAIN
Farm Hand Stealing Ride Is Thrown
Under Wheels Of Passenger

A man named Fransick was run
over aud killed by a train last night at
the crossing near John Nolan's place
a mile and a half east of the city. The
BODY was badly cut up and the head
was entirely severed, it laying on n
side Of the track and the body on the
other.
The accident was discovered by the
train crew Of a freight which reached
the city shortly before eleven o'clock
and Agent Leighty and several others
Went out and brought the remains to
the city. 1t is thought that the man
was stealing a ride by hanging onto
the vestibule of the evening passenger
from the east, which arrived here a
couple of hours late. He probably
got on at Aurora and by the time he
arrived at the point where the acct
dent happened he was so tired that
his body hung down and it struck and
broke a post of the cattle guard. This,
of course, knocked him off and threw
him under the wheels. A broken
whiskey bottle was found on the body.
Fransick had worked in this vicinity
tor some months and was employed by
John Blakely, north of town, most of
the time. He was between twenty
five and thirty years old and was a
large, well-built man.
The remains we're taken in charge
by Coroner Rood and are now at
Rude's undertaking rooms, and an
effort will be made to locate the rela-
tives.

GETS GOOD APPOINTMENT

Lindsey w. Whitehead of Brookings,
has been appointed by the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology to the
position Of assistant in civil and sani-
tary engineering, following the excel
lent Tech custom Of selecting a few
of the graduating class each year to be
teachers the following one. This
brings the students into contact with
men who have very recently been in
their W group and who have a
b%rotherly sympathy for them and
know where the difficulties and prob
lens are.
Mr.. Whitehead was a graduate in
June at the Institute in the depart
ment OF mining and metallurgy and
was accorded the honor of being one
OF the ten or twelve readers who pre-
scented abstracts of their theses at the
commencement exercises. The sub
ject of his thesis was a very practical
one, the discussion Of the geology of a
certain hill in Sharon near Boston. 1t
has the practical application that here
tofore the granite quarries at Quincy
have been unique in the quality of
granite produced, and have been the
making OF the f~iourishing city of
Quincy. Mr.. Whitehead finds that the
granite Of this hill at Sharon. is Of the
same texture, the same quality and the
same chemical composition as the
Quincy granite and shows that Its
development may be an excellent in
dustry for Sharon.

an effective roofing brigade. The
State College also had many friends
among the Sioux Falls people, but
most of the citizens OF that town were
yelling for North Dakota, as Coach
Wood Is well known and popular in the
Falls city.
The Sioux Falls Press says of the
game:
Coach Woods aggregation Of husky
North Dakota Aggies were humbled
yesterday on the local gridiron by the
eleven from the South Dakota Agricul.
tural college by a score Of Z to 6.
Though outweighed on an average OF
two pounds per man, the Bookings
squad overcane this handicap and
through a rapid shift OF plays and
quick formations broke the stonewall
line Of their rivals from the north.
The game was interesting though
not spectacular. North Dakota excel
led in tackling and their line was much
stronger than that of their opponents
State on the other hand played more
consistently and succeeded in using
the forward pass on one or two occa.
sions for substantial gains. The Far.
go team made its gains principally on
end runs. at which 1t excelled.
AT the opening of the contest the
North Dakota eleven started down the
field by line plunges as though they
were going to make the contest a very
one-sided affair. They had approached
within 30 yards Of the Bookings goal
line before the Coyote Aggies ecover-
ed and from that time on North Da-
kota carried no fears for State. Caul-
kins, Bolsinger, and Odell featured the
game for the Fargo squad, while Shee-
han easily starred for South Dakota.
The game was marked by a general
absence of open play, the forward pass
failing ANONYMOUSLY In a vast MAORI
ty of the times it was attempted. Old
style football was the order.
Between the halves the spectators
were entertained by a parade of the
South Dakota Agricultural College stu
dents carrying a large banner repre-
senting their college, and headed by
the State College band. A clown band
from the Sioux Falls high school also
was the source OF considerable amuse-
ment.
"The second half was all for South
Dakota but nothing was made in the
scoring line. In the third quarter
South Dakota punted and regained 1t
on North Dakota's 17-yard line but
carrying it to the eight-yard line
Odell intercepted a pass and spoiled
the possible score.
Again South Dakota was within an
ace Of winning when Caulkins blocked
a beautiful pass on North Dakota's
vineyard line. Again South Dakota at
tempted a pass on its opponents 10
yard line but failed. Sheehan later
tried a drop kick from the 10-yard
line which failed.
"In the last quarter a score appeared
inevitable when North Dakota's punt
was blocked and barely regained on
the 5-yard line. A perfect punt from
behind goal SEN the ball to safety in
the center Of the field and when the
final whistle blew North Dakota was
again striving to carry the ball out Of
it's W territory. The ball died on
North Dakota's 24-yard line"
Following was the lineup:

ASK SWAMP LAND GRANT
Governor in Letter to Interior De-
partment Says Spirit of Former Pa
tends Has Been Carried Out
TELLS OF DITCH APPROPRIATION

Assuring. the federal authorities
that Minnesota has made a substant-
ial if not a literal compliance with
the terms of the swamp land grant,
matter which is going to be brou ght
up at the convention here, Governor
A. o. Eberhardt has addressed letter
to A. w. Jones, assistant secretary
of the interior. Mr.. Jones recently
wrote Governor Eberhardt that he
had withheld from patent the re-
naming 100000 acres Of swamp land
in the state, following the complaint
from officers of the Northern Mime
sofa Development association that the
state has failed to reclaim other lands
as the grants provide, and following.
a personal call from Governor Eber-
hart and conference on the subject
on Nov. /, The letter from Washing
ton asked the state to make a showing
as to what it had done.
Governor Eberhardt's letter in
forms the interior department that
since 1901 the state has appropriated
for the drainage of swamp lands ST.
45S, 350.99, and that S1,394,839
has been actually disbursed, resulting
in 1,04353S.3S acres being reclaimed
by drainage bitches, while a system
Of highways has also been constructed
along the bitches. The state swamp
land fund on July 81, 1912, was
$2,671,727.12, representing the &C
tual proceeds from swamp land sales,
so that more than half the proceeds
of these lands has been expended by
the state for drainage.
'This question has been submitted
to your department BEFORE" says the
governor, "and decided to the effect
that the state of Minnesota had COM
piled substantially with the terms of
the grant"
He explains that the constitution
does not permit taking money from
the swamp land fund for drainage,
and that it would be slow and diff
ficult, and perhaps impossible, to
amend the constitution to permit it.
The state, however, has been active
and successful in reclamation work.

PREP AIRING XMAS AID
Worthy Poor Of Bemidji Will Be
Given Cheer BY Association Char
tiles During Holidays
DONATION FUND NOW OPEN

The relief committee, of which Mrs
F.. H. Smith is chairman Of the AS
ISOLATED Charities, is already forming
arran gements for giving of aid to the
worthy poor of the city at Christmas
tide. The distribution of cheer will
be general, covering every part of
the city.
The aim of the committee will be
to see that not single Individual
man or child-be permitted to go
unfed or unsufficently clad during
the birthday of King or Kings.
Last year the Associated Charities
were able to do magnificently as the
citizens were most generous in donat-
ing to the Christmas fund. There is
q sgreater need this year, as our city
has increased in population, and as
in every Instance of that kind, there
is also an increased number of poor
people who have not as yet had time
to establish themselves comfortably,
and find the old bleak winter staring
them in the face with very little to
meet the needs of such climate as
this.
1t is needless to say that the good
citizens of Bemidji will exceed them
selves in doing good this Christmas
tide. The fund is now open and all
are requested to help generously.
Donations may be sent to Mrs.
Smith or any other member of the
committee. Checks should be made
out to the Associated Charities
