owner of the land to himself under
the name OF Bell. Next day the i'm
poster, Bell, took the blank deed be-
fore the defendant, Mahon, a notary
public Of Fargo, n. D., and imperson-
ated the owner Of the land. Mistaking
the impostor for a man with whom
he was acquainted, the notary took his
Acknowledgement and certified that it
vas the owner of the land who had
hPPSoL GU bIAOtO AI1iI dIiO dShIlO"I~
edged the deed. The impostor re-
returned to Fergus Falls and had the
same attorney prepare a deed running
from himself under the name Of Bell
to the plaintiff Peterson, and executed
and acknowledged the deed under that
name before such attorney, as a notary
public. Plaintiff paid $3.50 for the deed
which amount he has lost.

In the World of Sport
CHAMPIONSHIP
GAME TONIGHT

At 8 o'clock tonight the Moorhead
basket ball team will meet the Mid
gets. the team from the local high
school. The game promises to be an
interesting one from start to hnlsh'
The Midgets, having defeated Moor
head in the high school championship
of the two cities, will have to defeat
Moorhead again tonight in order to
claim it without any dispute.
The game tonight will see the best
teams that these high schools can pro-
duce on the floor, for the respective
coaches are not taking the slightest
chances with this game.
The Moorhead team is a fast one,
and has a, bunch Of players to substi-
tute in case Of need. The team across
the river are experienced in athletics,
and are a husky bunch and able to
stand a lot of wear and tear.
The Midgets will play very nearly,
il not the same team, that has won all
their games so far this year. The
locals have a team that is strong in
guarding, n they are also all pretty
accurate basket shooters. The team
will be a little lighter than their rivals
but they hope to overcome this with
speed.
The officials in tonight's game will
referee, and Dick Holzer Of Moorhead,
umpire. The game will be called at s
o'clock sharp, and will take place at
the Agassiz gymnasium.
No game of the season has aroused
any greater interest among the basket
ball fans Of the city, than is felt at
the present time in this one. Every
body Is agog with interest, and the
big gym at he Agassiz school will be
L-1
and t~ownspeople. The rooters are in
fine fettle, and, under capable cheer
leaders, will rattle the shingles with

Children thrive under ~osteopathic
treatment az under nc other. They
like it. Little ones by nature detest
the bitter dose. They are right about
it. There is a better way to health.
The day has come when prudent
mothers have the family osteopath
examine the spines of their children,
as often and as regularly as the dem
fist examines their teeth. Many trou-
bles liable to develop in after life are
thus lone away with. Csteopathy is
good treatment for all of e%hildhood's
ills, from cholera morbus, diarrhoea
m Group, to scarlet fever, measles,
and ~diphtheria.
In taking your children to an osteo-
path be sure that he has attended
and holds a diploma from a reputable
.~osteopathic school mot a correspon-
dence school), for a diploma from
such a school does not make d com
peterlt osteopath.

SAYS HOG CHOLERA
CAN BE- ERADICATED

That a concerted campaign can
eradicate hog cholera in Minnesota
just as it has been wiped out of the'
hog pens at the University OF Mime
sota farm, thus saving n m
thousands of dollars annually, was the
declaration Of DR.. II. Preston Hoskins,
IN charge Of the farm serum plant,
who spoke yesterday before a meeting
Of the Minnesota Swine Breeders as
ISOLATION at the farm in Hamline. The
meeting was in conjunction with the
sessions Of the Minnesota Livestock
Breeders association, n was attend
ed by swine breeders from all over the
state. -,
six young hogs were "vaccinated'
by DR.. Hoskins to show visiting dele
gates the proper way to prevent cnol-
era, in their herds. The vaccination
has been in progress annually at the
university farm and DR.. Hoskins re-
lated how for two years there had not
been g. single ase in the herd at the
farm, which at times has numbered
$50 hogs. .,
Hog cholera has been prevalent all
around u.s." DR.. Hoskins said. THE
herd at the farm was placed in a posi-
ton to be contaminated in many ways,
but through vaccination we kept the
herd free Of the disease.
There are just three things needed
to eradicate this disease in Minnesota
men, money and serum. When these
| three agents can work tremendously
for one end, then hog cholera Will be
a thing of the past"

in the first half, shooting four baskets

will of the fans who had soured on the
West Side team because Murphy had
tossed Chance over. Evers had over
come much of the antlpathy or the
bugs bv last fall, and it looked as If
he would have an exceptionally good
season the coming summer as leader
Of the Cubs. .. -'
Evers had striven hard to get con-
troll of himself and to keep on good
terms with the umpires, n 1t seemed
toward the last part of the a that
he had succeeded beyond the expecta-
ions of the fans w.. 49,
Reverses His Policy :.
Murphy has gone back on one OF his
league cherished policies in appointing
O'Day as the successor Of Evers. Time
and again the Cub head has made the
empratic statement that he would not
have a bench manager in his employ.
He wanted a playing manager, be-
cause he believed he was better able
to Judge of plays when right in the
| game han if sitting on the bench and
| unable to see every angle of the play.
Then again it was a much cheaper
proposition to have a playing manager
for it saved at least half the salary
Of the manager. " -.

and it is likely that he will do the
same this year, in spite Of the fact
that it will be an expensive innova~
