Local Ball Team Lost First Game this
Season to Cannonball Sunday
Play Lennon Sunday

/ Fort Yates ball team lost its first
game this season to Cannonball Sum
|day by score Of 6 to Z. The game
was played at the fair grounds late i'm
the afternoon after the exercises at
the cemetery were concluded.
The locals assign the reason for
loosing the game to the absence of
several of their best players, among
them John kerler, Means, Crow
skin and others. Poor team work
and errors at critical times were
also largely responsible.
The game, however, was INTEREST
ing, and good sized crowd was i'm
attendance. The gate receipts were
so 80 which more than betrayed
the expenses OF the visiting team.
Following was the lineup:

of rain. Saturday the Fort Yates

be looked for. 1t is understood
that Frank Means will be home in

For SchoolDirector
Martin Swift Of Sclfridgc, Reelected
Director of Fort Yates School Dis
trict at Election Tuc.dny

Martin Swift OF Scliridgr, was
reelected director OF Fort Yates
school district al the annual cleo
ton held Tuesday. Not much in

1t is the intention OF the members
OF the school board to take up the
matter OF building two school hous-
cs i'm the district at ilc regular
meeting in July. No action can
be taken before that time as ii will
he nccc ssary to vote Il bond issue to
raise money for building purposes.
No bonds can be voted until after
the assessment returns are i'm, as
no figures upon which to base the
amount OF bonds will br available
until then.
1t is proposed to issue $4,000 or
$4,000 bonds covering period of
years and build two school houses,
one at For: Yates and one at Sci
fridge. At Fort Yates a two room
building would be necessary, while
at Sclirldgr onr-room building
would do for the present.
In amy event there will br schools
open in Fort Yates district next
fall, which will be pleasant news TO
parents who have been sending their

the bottom of the car, leaning
against the side next the river, in full
view of persons in the stores on the
other side of the track The train
stopped long time in the rear of the
stores. and several clerks and custo-
mers in one store began throwing
things into the car in an ef3ort to dis

fully lodged the missiles, however,
and finally placed his thumb to his
nose as an expression OF contempt
and moved across the car to get UNI

said: Get some ammonia Two
ounces of real spirits of hartsiorn
were put into fourounce bottle
and clerk with good aim hurled
it into the car, where the bottle
broke The effect was immediate
and the hobo cast an angry glance up
to the store as he beat it over the

The Vermont Publicity Bureau adj
vertised the Vermont exhibit at the

issue of this advertisement appeared,
letters began to come into the Secre-

various parts OF New England asking
for information concerning Vermont
apples and Vermont orchard lands,
and these letters continue TO y come.
A letter from one of the leading adj

papers spoke in complimentary terms
of the Vermont exhibit. and the Globe
said, No better aggregation for the

MANY TRAMPs ON TRAINS
Brattleboro Finds Freehts Infested
With Fitting HOBBS.

In spite OF the colder weather there
appears to be little diminution in the
number of tramps who ride through
Brattleboro on freight trains. All sum
mer long freights have been carrying
almost without exception, knights OF
the road, who ride between the cars,
in empty box cars or in the coal cars
that are empty or partly filed, says
the Brattleboro Reformer.
Almost any day when the weather
Is not too cold persons working or liv
ing in quarters above the railroad can
look down into the cars and see from
two to five persons beating their way.
They do not like to take the chance
of being seen when the trains are in
the yard and SO watch for an oppor-
tunity to get on board just as the
trains pull out A few days ago two
hoboes We're seen to get on and off
a train four times just north OF Whet
stone brook Each time they board
ed the train it would stop to do lit
tie more switching and they would
get of. The fifth time the train start
ed they assumed that it would stop
again and so waited, but the train
kept on and got under such Roadway
that the tramps didn't take the
chance of boarding it and gave up in
disgust until the next train came
alonS.
The railroads do not like TO have
this floating population on their prop
!, ert and periodically make raids OF
them, especially at junction points
and in big railroad centers. 1t would
require big force of officers spread
over an entire line to come even nea
to putting an end to the evil.
While the trainmen are supposed
to see that no one beats his way il
