one blind man in the city who must
derive some pleasure from attending a
baseball game. for he was discovered
at the Polo Grounds on a recent Satur-
day afternoon when the Yankees were
performing there.
He entered the grounds supported on
the arms of friends, who stood on either
side of him. From his facial expression
II was apparent that the very anticipa-
ton of attending the game gave him as
much pleasure as it did to the small
boy who stood in line with his father
waiting to get in.
His face was wreathed in smiles and
he continually joked with his friends on
different topics; but most of all on base
ball. He was anxious to know who they

day with General Superintendent

the new town Of Stipek would be
given all the conveniences afforded in
the way of sidings, sites and depot to

attitude Of the n. p. officials with
regard to the erection Of depot at

the very near future new station
will be placed at that place.

Chappell & Sons Will In Near Future
Be Represented In the City
With New Garage

Chappell & Sons will be the name
of . new enterprise that will soon be
in operation in the city. A. d.
Mitchell, state agent for the Mitchell
Auto Co., Of Racine. Wis, was in
the city during the week and made the
sale Of two carloads Of Mitchell cars
to the Chappell firm for delivery on
March first. One carload will be de-
livered to Wibaux where the new firm
will have branch house. This is the
first year that the Mitchell Auto Co.
have placed agencies in Montana, the
reason being that their annual output
has been disposed Of in the east. The
car is as modern as possible and is
equipped with all the conveniences
afforded to automobiles. The six
cylinder pattern hold the worlds rec
ord for the nonstop motor run, hav-
ing run 1868 miles without water.
The test was made in order to prove
the merit Of the motor which has
been designed by two French design
ers.

cided upon 4 place for the display of
their cars. II they do not decide to

sioners felt that they could not be

Attorney that they could consult with
the Attorney General, whom Judge
Hurley volunteered to get in touch
with in their behalf. The whole
affair would seem to Indicate
that an attempt was being made
to discredit the character and reputa-

guided in his advice by no less an
authority than the Supreme court,
whose decision was read in open court
on Saturday. Attorney Leiper SEEM

he did not neglect to try to thrust
himself into court after repeatedly
being asked by Judge Hurley for
authorities in support Of his plea,
that he should have standing in

1t would seem moreover that the
county commissioners have made an
attempt to make goat out Of Hon.
stain in attempting to revoke his
license. The conditions are such in.

ed to maintain his saloon in that city
that it will be impossible to have

Hotel which was recently opened at
Fairview is located on Ellery avenue.
1t is questionable what the county
commissioners will do. Should they

were referred to last Saturday. IN
