LANDRY WILL Go

LIZETIE IS FREE
Ex-Manager of the Superior
Red S0x Will Join Outlaw
Organization.
DEPOSED FORT WILLIAM
PILOT ON THE MARKET
Pitcher Lampman May Be Used
in One Game Against Win
peg; Case of Campbell.

The admiring gaze of the collective
managers of teams in the Northern
league received a veil this morning
when Jack Landry, ex-playing manag-
or of the Superior Red Sox, announced
that he will join certain Federal
league crew and Arthur Lizette, de-
posed pilot of the Fort William team
fixed his price so high that none of
the prospective purchasers cared to
invest.
Landry, who is a great fielder and
sticker and Lizette, who is an excell-
ent backstop and also good man
with the CAD, are both free agents
now. They both have been given
their unconditional release. None of
the northern circuit managers can af-
ford to pay the salaries that these de-
throned leaders were getting every
month in their pay envelopes. While
nothing definite has been given out,
it comes from pretty good authority
that Lizette was pulling down $275
from Fort William and Landry was
getting about $3.50 from Superior.
Every manager in the league was
after this pair of stars. They would
make valuable additions to any of the
teams on this circuit. But the price
of their services is prohibitive. Meth
er man would sign up without first
receiving a bonus and then each
would want to be a free agent at the
end of the present season.
Some trouble is being experienced
between the owners of the Virginia
team and President Conrad of the
Fort William club. It is all over
Campbell, the new second baseman
that Virginia signed, after Manager
Lizette had given that player his un-
conditional release. Conrad raved
when he heard about the deal and was
prompt to say that Lizette over
stepped his managerial limit when he
disposed of the infelder. It is prob
able that the matter will have to be
taken up with President Burmeister
and the trouble threshed out there. In
the meantime Campbell will continue
to perform with the Ore Diggers.
The local fans received a pleasant
thrill this morning when Manager
Sundheim announced that Pitcher
Lampman's throwing arm, which has
been bothering for several weeks, is
now in good condition and that he
would probably start the big fellow
in the present series with Winnipeg,
either today or tomorrow.
By our defeat of yesterday Vir-
ginia slipped from second to third
place in the standing-of-the-c1ubs
column, Duluth taking our position
the hay CROP" said Mr.. Luthey this
Forks. Only two points separate us
from the coveted position and we may
recoup our loss today.

TERRIBLY BITTEN BY RATS.

TERRIBLY BITTEN BY RATS.
MANKATO, July 9-Early Sunday
morning the two months old child Of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Won Reiner, living
on the A. B. Chapman place four miles
north of this city was so seriously
bitten by a rat that little hopes are
entertained for the child's recovery.
The night being a warm one, Mr.. and
Mrs. Won Reiner decided to place the
infant in a baby carriage along side
the bed where it would be cooler.
Along toward morning the parents
were startled out of their sleep by
piercing screams from the child. The
child was quickly picked up and just
as it was being lifted from the baby
carriage a large rat scampered away.
Blood was running in streams from
the child's foot, which was temporari-
ly bandaged, and the baby hurried to
the office of DR.. J. A. Hielscher in this
city. Uuon examination it was found
that the rat had almost chewed the
right toe off the child's foot. The toe
was treated and every precaution
taken to prevent blood poison. This
morning DR.. Hielscher stated that he
called at the Won Reiner residence
and found that the child had a fever
of 102.
Among today's guests at the Hol.
land hotel are A "A. Mcdonald, Du.
luth, M. Gordon, Hibbing; Henry
Rumbough, Chicago; F. w. Smith

in thes lights. A species of Mardi Gras
festivities signaled the occasion. Be
sides confetti there were minor
fireworks, and one street fakir was
coming money selling those pretty
popular "sparklers," which ignited at
one end and cascaded out a harmless
shower of brilliantly scintillating
fiery stars.
Reeves had never seem them be-
fore, and the display pleased him. He
purchased two boxes of the toy, slim,
narrow and easily pocketed, and then
they wandered on.
'Tl carry them along with our
traps" he laughed. Just about the
Fourth of July We'll be out in the
wilderness a thousand miles from
civilization, and if we get homesick,
we'll have little patriotic squirt and
fire them off, see?"
Then Reeves slipped the two little
boxes into an inside pocket of the
coat he wore, and forgot all about
them as some new display of interest
attracted his attention.
Reeves was bent on a peculiar mis-
sion. He was a skilled mining en-
gineer and had been engaged by En-
glish promoters to invade the center
of a district hitherto very slightly ex-
plored. There were rumOrs of great
metal wealth in certain chain Of
hills, and he was to secure ore speci-
mems, make an analysis and report
to his supeTiors.
You're counting my daughter
Grace" he told Ronald in his blunt,
friendly way, back home in New Jer-
sey. you know a good deal about
my line of business. Come along with
me and learn something more about
it, and share a good fat fee"
This was how the harmonious two
came to be together. The next day
they resumed their journey.

tour around the bad lands" most
