ed children have the sympathy of all
in his loss.

Reat Fast North Dakota University
Team at Auditorium by Score
of 20 to ID.

North Dakota University was de-
feated by Luther by a score of 20 to
10 in the contest played at the gym
nasium Feb. IL. North Dakota has
an extensive trip this year, playing
Hamline, Gustavus Adolphus, Carl
ton, st. Olaf and several institutions
of less importance. Just before our
game down here the North Dakota
quintet played st. Olaf and defeated
them 32 to IS. In spite of the strong
appearance of the Flickertails in the
St. Olaf game the Luther boys felt
determined to win. So in the first
four minutes of play the Luther for
wards, Harstad and Loftnes, Gagged
two baskets apiece. Then the game
went along with Luther having a
constant lead Of five or six points
The first half ended in a score 13 to
z. Both teams had been playing
hard and roughness seemed to be the
object of the university men. Murphy
the big Flickertail center was taken
out with wrenched arm.
The second half opened as freely
as before, Harstad and Loftnes shoot
ing most of the baskets. The leat
which Luther gained in the first hal
was too great for the Dakotans tt
overcome; when the final whistle blew
the score was 20 to 10. Loftnes starr
ed, caging in all seven field goals
Gammetsfelter refereed to the sat
isfaction of all. Even the opposing
team praised his ability.
Saturday night Luther defeated st
Olaf at Mortified by score Of 2.
to IA. For the first time in thei
basket ball career which covers three
seasons on a college team Loftne
and Gigstad were put out for fou'
personals. The spectators remarked
that it looked bad to put out sucl
clean players. Coach Hunt of Carl
ton refereed.

Piano Auto Trucks.

The Marsh Music House of this
city will be fixed out in fine shape
for the delivery of pianos this year.
On B. o. Marsh's recent visit to Chi
cago he purchased two Cadillac cars
which he will have converted into
trucks, one for the DEBORAH store
and the other for their Harmony,
MINI. branch. The Cadillac is Mr..
Marsh's favorite car, but the firm
does not make trucks, so consequent
ly he will have them remodeled. The
growing business of this well known
firm demands the latest and best
ways of taking care of the big bust
ness, and Mr.. Marsh is not slow In
putting in the best for the convent
ence of his customers.

ACLERGYMAN'S ST0RY
Came Near Losing His Lfe--How He Escaped

We quote from another letter. dated
December 10. 1906: II praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise 1t also"
In a letter dated November %.
1909, we quote Rev: Roberts: Pc
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintance
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January Is.
1910, he says: II shall ever in the
future. as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise Of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. I believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter of September s. 1911.
we quote a few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna,
do not feel that / have words to ex-
press the faith ! have In Its merits.
I feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
Of God, Of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote a still later letter. October
81. 1912. He says: II took severe
cold three weeks ago. at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking 1t two
weeks. / am now better. ! consider
that Peruna has carried me over
dozen years of life. ! always stand
ready to answer any question In ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter, dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends: J
wish this bright New Years to ex
press my thanks to you for youi
kindness. Trusting that you may
have C successful and happy year, and
| that your medicine may prove a
blessing to many as 1t has to me. l
am yours as ever. G. w. Roberts,
Hartsell. Alabama, r. F. d. 2. Box
o."
It Is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The eio-
quence and pathos Of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or affidavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?

Life" sent free by the Peruna Co.,

ANY BAR HUNTERS IN
THE CITY OUT OF A JOBs
(From Sundays Daily


o. A. Lange, the rangeuan Of the
Senator country, has al last lifted
the lid and yesterday telephoned to
J. A. Hope, of the Bashford- Burnis-
ter Company, that real live bear
of immense size was maraudiug in
that country, and evidence to prove
his whereabouts had been estsb-
lished beyond any doubt.
Bruin had killed a three-year old
steer belonging to LANCE and the
carcass was discovered the day be-
fore with the indisputsble evidence
of the tracks being seen to substan-
tate the occurrence. The site where
the dead steer was lying is in a
deep gulch few miles from Slate
creek and the carcass was partly de-
voured.
The discovery was made by acct
dent Mr.. Lange says, as he was rid
ing the country to ascertain what
had become of several missing
steers. Where bruin is located is
doubtful, but that he is in the thick
underbrush that is scattered
throughout that country for several
miles in dense patches is believed
These places are difficult to pene-
trate even on foot, while it is inn
possible for man on horseback to
get through certain stretches that
range for a mile wide and long.
Last fall. it will be remembered
several residents of the Hassayam-
pa country made complaints over
the losses of their fowl. while min
ers stated there was large animal
meandering in that country that had
the "earmarks" of bear. The mat
ter was lightly treated, and the kill
ing of a iobo wolf at an Italian
camp seemed to allay fear of fu-
ture trouble.
If there are any bar hunters in
this burg, they certainly have an
excellent opportunity to display
their nerve, and can pick out their
game less than twelve miles distant.
The first 10 answer the roll is Joe
Archambeau, who stated yesterday
he wants a companion, and is ready
then for the fight to finish.
