GREAT BASKET BALL GAME
NEXT FRIDAY EVENING

What is expected to be the hardest
fought and most scientific basket ball
game ever seen in this city is that
scheduled for next Friday. Jan. Sth.
when the Dawson County High Schoof
team will match wits and Drawn with
the strong Dickinson team in the old
Glendive Opera House.
On the occasion of our boys last
visit to the North Dakota town, two
weeks ago. the Dickinson boys saw
tit and proper to defeat US by q score
Of 81 to z. which defeat was not near
SO bad as the score would seem to in
dicate.
Two years ago they defeated our
team by something like 40 to nothing.
and at that time we were fortified
with such men as Calvin, ct al.
One great disadvantage OF our play-
ing at Dickinson is the slippery condi-
tion Of their floor, to which our boys
cannot adapt themselves.
Be on hand to see this great game
next Friday.

Daring Hold-up Man
Robs Jap Restaurant
Tall Man Disguised and With Red Mask Robs
Jack Kotai's Till at Point Of Gun,
Gets Small Amount

One of the boldest, if not actually
the most fool-hardy, hold-up that has
ever occurred in this city took place
early Sunday morning, when tall man,
evidently a stranger, entered the side
door of Jack Kotaki's restaurant in
the rear of w. F. Stutz's Hub Saloon,
and sticking long gun in the faces
of young Jap cook and a white wait
er, helped himself to the contents of
the cash register.
Got Small Amount.
The man, who was dressed in long
sheepskin coat, furlined cap, and with
red bandana handkerchief over the
bridge of his nose, threw open the
door in true western fashion and
shouting Throw up your hands" pro-
ceeded into the room with a cooked
revolver in his steady hand.
1t is almost useless to state that the
two men complied with his harsh re-
quest in quicker time than it takes to
write it and moving cautiously to-
ward the till the man pressed one of
the release buttons and just scooped
the money into his left coat pocket.
He secured twenty dollars in all.
ten silver dollars and ten dollars in
nickels and dimes. He overlooked
just four dimes and four nickels in the
shuttle, as he never let his glance
wander from the two badly frightened
men.
Worked Quietly.
So quietly did the burglar work that

joining room, did not hear any of the

MINSTREL BOYS WORKING HARD
Big Show at Arcade Opera House
Saturday and Sunday Nights
Will be Well Produced.

| If anyone doubts the ability Of tn,
young men Of this city to produce /.
minstrel show of more than average
merit, all he has to do is take peel
in at the rehearsals, which are bein(
held each evening in one of the large
sample rooms under the new Theckls
Hotel Building.
There he will see Mrs. J. H. Lane
the accompanist, and thirty young men
working for dear life, practicirg songs
and trying out local jokes, and goire
through the funny afterpiece, with an
enthusiasm that is seldom equalled
and never excelled in a production OF
this kind and for such an object os
this one.
The production will prove a pleas,
ant surprise in many ways. In the
first place, very rarely does it happen
that so many good singers are group
ed together at one time and in one
play. The very cream of the city's
vocal talent will participate and the
very latest songs will be rendered.
The humor end of the performance
will be we'll taken care Of by joke
smiths Of known ability, augmented,
by several comedians who have never
before appeared in this city in public.
The first part will include the fol-
lowing performers; Interlocutor, M.
G. Mcdowell. End Men, Dick Stat
ham, Fred Hoffman, Tullie Cato, Dun
can Mcintyre, and Art Rawson. Sing
ers, Frank Kramer, Lee Healey, Jim
my Martin, Percy Sawyer. Hugh Ap-
rleton and August Colin. Solists, C. /.
Beckwith, o. G. Cato. Duncan McIn-
tyre, Archie Mack, Fred Hoffman,
Walter Graft, Lee King and George
Lzicar.
The Olio will open with comic
extemporaneOus monologue and vio-
lin solo by an out-of-town artist. Then
will follow one Of the highest class
vaudeville acts ever seen in this city,
E. c. and Leslie Tague, 1.-THE Worlds
Premier Whistlers," which will be fol-
lowed by Martin &. Kramer, The Komic
Koons, in ten minutes of fun and mel
ody. Then will appear Fred Hoffman,
the inimitable funny man, in q side
splitting monologue, "Ash Box Harry.
the Tramp" The olio will conclude
with q vocal treat by Howard Melaney
and Archie Mack, assisted by the Glen
dive Quartette. Should other num-
bers be added to the list after the pro-
grams are printed, the names Of the
acts will be shown on the stage, the
same as in the vaudeville houses in
the larger cities.
The performance will conclude with
The laughable one-act farce, "The
Dutch Justice" presented for the first
time in this city. The cast is as fol-

London and every other important centre was swarming with German spies and it was essential that their operations should be stopped and that at the same time nothing should be done to alarm public opinion.

There were some Englishmen among them and l am informed that a fey of the missing men advertised for in the papers may be accounted for in this way.
 The raids on the houses of suspected spies which have taken place since the declaration of war have had some anus ing features. A police officer who was ii charge of the raids in one of the northern districts of London tells me that three of the Germans whom he arrested fainted when they were informed that they were under suspicion as spies.
 The poor devils thought we were go- ing to shoot them at once," he said and one of them actually explained to me that if he had been an Englishman in Germany he would have been shot within half an hour.'
 One of the men arrested was an Eng lishman with German name who was the victim of silly practical joke by friend. He was able to satisfy the authorities that he was q perfectly loyal subject of King George, and the Joke was on his friend a little later when the police marched him off to the station where an inspector read him a severe lesson on the danger of his perverted sense of humor in times Of serious crisis.
 Another incident on the lighter side of the war is the unanimity with which Ger man traders in London have removed their signs from their shop fronts. They seem to have come to the wise conclu- sion that Germans are not popular in London inst at prasepf
