house Tuesday evening, addressed ~
Attorney James Peterson Of Minnea-
polls, who was a candidate for the
nomination for governor, was very
poorly attended, especially SO for g
speaker Of Mr.. Peterson's ability ana
reputation.
The meeting was opened with few
remarks by w. E. Penfeld, after which
the speaker Of the evening was intro
duced.
In opening Mr.. Peterson stated that
when people fail to come out to hear
discussions, it is generally to their
disadvantage. That the condition Of
Russia was due to the fact that The
people did not take enough interest
in public matters. He said that It
was no doubt true that the leaders of
the republican party have at times not
been in harmony with the rank and
file Of the party, but that the party
has been responsible for much good
legislation.
He said that we must have po,1tical
parties whereby people could put forth
their common convictions. That no
man was big enough to bring about re-

the common man right on proper pc
tition to propose and make laws. ire
spective Of the legislature, which laws
could not be vetoed by either the legis
lature or governor. With the Refer
endum, on proper petition, the people
could veto any legislation proposed
by the legislature which they did not
think was in their interests. These
would not be resorted to often, but
they would be a power for good. E
The speaker devoted most cf the
evening to discussing national cues
tions, including the record of Corr
gresham Hammond, democratic cam
| didate for governor Of this state. He
also enlarged upon the new tariff, and
it's effect on the price of farm pro-
duee, saying that as result Of the
low tariff the price Of farm products
has been lowered. As a basis for this
statement he made comparison Of
the importations during the last six
months of the old tariff and during
the first six months Of the new tariff,
but did not state as to the value Of
crops raised in this country. The
present increase in prices are due to
the war, he said. &

Wachlarowicz was going home from
his place Of business, and as he ape
preached the Ferguson store on Bread

pointed guns at him and ordered him
to hold up his hands, which he prompt

out in search Of the holdups. enc Of.
them was found in the n. p. depot, be-
ing identified by M. A. Engstrom, who.
had sold him revolver earlier IN the
day. The other was taken in Schriieb-
er's saloon by Mike Wachlarowicx, q
brother Of the holdup victim.
They had hidden their weapons and
cartridges and Chief Hang proceeded
to hunt for them. He found them;
slowed away in an old banana crate:
near the Brown restaurant on First
street northwest. They were wrapped.
in large blue handkerchief.
The young men were taken to the
county Jail to await hearing, the date
Of which has been fixed at October 27

the men will probably be assault in the
first degree and attempted robbery
Both are foreigners, end one gives his
name as Joe Sibeselh and the other
Pete Zorich. Both are minors. Wach-.

Tuesday morning.
Gee. Ferguson, who operates gro-

place, states that the young men CAME
into his place of business shortly af-
ter 6 O'Clock the same evening and
purchased some goods, and when about
to pay asked him if he could change:
$50 bill. He told them that he esuid
not and they then gave him the right

HIGH vs.. BRAINfRD TOMORROW
FOOTBALL. TEAMS WILL CLASH
AT FAIR GROUNDS-Go0D
GAME ASSURED

One Of the snappiest football games
Of the season for the local high school
team promises to be pulled off at the
fair grounds here tomorrow afternoon
when they clash with the fast Brainerd
team. The local boys have fair grip
on the Northern Minnesota champion
ship and are after the state honors
this year, and they mean to down the
up-river eleven at any cost.
The lineup will be shifted somewhat
for tomorrow's game, as Sidney Kay
will not be able to play, having sus-
tanned broken nose in the game with
Alexandria last Saturday. Richard
Meyers also met with slight injuries
but will be able to be in the game to-
morrow, although he may be shifted
to one Of the easier positions. All the
other players are in good condition.
A hard game is looked for tomorrow,
az the Brainerd high school team is
without doubt the strongest which the
locals have scheduled They are also
after the state championship and their
defeat will mean a great boost for the
locals in getting to the top. The game
will be called at $3.50 pm. sharp.
Following is a local high school fan
ette's conception Of the Little Falls
high school football team:
sour 'high school squad,' I have a
hunch,
Is not very good looking bunch,
But just turn out next Saturday,
And watch the game they re going to
play.
There 8 'Richard Meyers he's brick
Just wait until you see him kick,
'Ovid Belanger' as you all know,
Is far from being very slow.
The 'Brainerd' lads will shrink with
fear
When Lawrence Cook there shall ap.
pear.
As for Lawrence Longley,' I'll leave
l. it to you
To decide whether or not he win do.
And for the rest, I will not waste
More words; but leave it to your taste.
So come and see them, one and all
And witness this great game, Foot
ball. Doris Larson.
