A BEAUTIFUL CUP
FOR BEST PLAYER
FIRST CHECKER TOURNAMENT
FOR NORTH DAKOTA WILL BE
HELD AT BISMARCK
FEBRUARY II and 12.
Secretary L. H. Nichols of Dickinson
Is One of the Best Players in
the State. 4

The first state checker tournament
is being arranged to take place at
Bismarck Thursday and Friday, Feb
ruary 18th ana 18th. For the past
few years tournaments Of a local
nature have been held in various parts
OF the state, among the largest being
the ones held at lnkster. At the meet
there last year j. B. Mattson of Ink
ster won first place and L. H. Nichols
Of this city second. 1t was then de-
clded to have a state tournament this
year and the arranging of affairs were
left in the hand of l.. H. Nichols.
The elegant silver gold lined cup
with the three stag horn handles, now
on display in the M. A. Scherffius
window, is the trophy to be contend
ed for. The prizes for the winners of
second and third places will be valu-
able checker books. All the contests
will be held in the Commercial Club
rooms in Bismarck. All entries are
to be made to L. H. Nichols, Dickin-
son, N. D., and any one desiring
further information should write him
at once.
For forty years Scotland held the
worlds championship for checker
playing. But several years ago Rich
ard Jordan, an Englishman, managed
to wrest it from the Scotchmen.
Later he came to this country, bring
ing the honor across with him. Since
then Banks Of Michigan has contended
with Jordan, and just who the pres
ent holder of the honor is we cannot
say.
Checkers has been an interesting
game at the capital city in years
passed, where some of the senator's
and representatives have been fol-
lowers of the play. Senator Nc
Lean Of Cavalier county was consid-
cred the best in the state, until Tom
Evans Of Stark county went to Bis
marck for the session and defeated
this distinguished gentleman frota
the northern part Of the state.
Just who the present champion
is will be cleared up the latter part
of next week.

townships 139 and 14O and sections
numbered from rs to SO in township
141, all in range 80. This is the first
township organized in the county east
Of Heart river township. The name
chosen was Bloom in honor of Max
Bloom, one of the old timers in the
Taylor neighborhood, but as there is
a township in Stutsman county bear
ing that name, another name will
have to be chosen. Officers were
elected as follows: Sam Brand,
moderator; Alfred Jorgenson, clerk;
Milton Bobb, treasurer; Peter Chris
tensen, Fred Deeken and Irwin Brade-
meyer, supervisors; Knute Stanger,
assessor; Henning Stron, road over
seer; P. ]. McGraw and B. F. Deeken,

at the March election.
Stark county has number of civil
townships west, also RAIDER and Green
river near Dickinson, but nothing has
been organized east of Taylor.

FIRST. PQu[IffI ;>.)W :. +.
WAS A SUCCESS

With the exception of one variety
all birds offered for sale at the Mis-
souri, Slope Poultry Association show
were disposed of at good figures. The
Barred Plymouth Rocks were much
in dsmand, several orders having been
sent to the officials to purchase good
Barred Rocks, but all that were for
sale were quickly taken. Barney
Ford of Mandan made number of
sales in this class. Frank Milhollan
disposed of his White Ply mouth Rock
pen, which wen 1st prize, to Frank
Baxter. He also had other offers but
the pen was all he cared to dispose
of. Chas. Rossbach of Mandan sold
his prize winning pen of fancy Part
ridge Wyandottes to J. J. Sweeney,
who had hattering offers for his par
gain. Louis Dreveskracht of Judson
made number of sales from his ex-
hibits in the Buff Orpington class.
He had some fine birds which were
just what some of the visitors wished.
An omission was made in the list
Of prize winners last week. The
Rhode Island Whites were left out
all together. In this class Mrs. A.
N. Seeley Won two first and a second
and third, tirsts on cockerel and
pullet and second and third on pullets.
The last night of the fair R.. A.
Blair was exhibiting beautiful pair
of Rhode Island Reds which he had
been expecting for some time. Their
plumage was very fine and they
seemed to have the markings of very
fine Reds. ...
The Missouri Slope Poultry Asso-
citation people have reason to feel
we'll satisfied with their efforts in
giving this part of the state it's first
poultry show. There is much expense
connected with the first meeting but
by careful management the officers
are coming out about even. Another
year they can look for larger attend
ance and the general conditions
should be much more favorable.

.MANDAN ENTERTA|NS EDITORS .
. FOR SUMMER MEETING

Mandan will have the honor of
entertaining the North Dakota Press
Association meeting next summer
which will be the first gathering of
state publishers in southwestern
North Dakota. Last year the news
paper men held their mid summer
meeting in Valley City during Chau-
ta1qua week, and it is quite possible
that Mandan will desire to entertain
in July while their program is on.
A boat trip up the Missouri river
has been suggested as a part Of the
entertainment for the pencil pushers.
The Great Plains Field Station will
be one of the places of interest for
the visitors at Mandan, and it is cer-
tain that everybody who attends that
will have a good time. Mandan
people are hospitable entertainers.
Every publisher living west of the
river, who has not already done 50,
should hasten to join the N. D. Press
Association and in this way, together
with attendance at the midsummer
gathering, show their appreciation of
the state meeting in our territory.

: LOOK LOOK OUT FOR THEM

From different parts Of the country
come stories Of a swindle successfully
worked on farmers who thought they
were going to get cheap groceries.
Two smooth strangers went through
the communities taking orders for q
house in Chicago, pretending: to sell
q standard brand Of sugar and -four
SO cheaply that every farmer visited
took from $40 to $50 worth and other
things besides. Because Of the low
prices the flour and sugar had to be
"paid in advance. It is alleged that
in one community the swindlers picked
mp some $4,000 and no groceries de-
tlivered.

ENGLAND TAKES
HIS own LIFE
| w. H. ENGLAND OF WHEELING,
w. VA, CUTS HIS THROAT
IN ALLEY NORTH OF JES-
SEN BLOCK.
Left Train No. Thursday Morning
and Was Dead An Hour Later.
Used Sharp Knife.

w. H. England of 412 Christiana
St., Wheeling, w. Va, suicided Thurs
day morning in the alley north Of
the Jessen block by cutting his jugular
vein on the right side with pocket
knife. The rash deed was committed
80 or 40 minutes after No. left the
N. P. depot, the victim having left
the train. He was ticketed from
Uniontown, Wash, to Wheeling, w.
Va. The knife used was very sharp
and when picked up was covered with
blood.
. Night Policeman McDonough saw
the man walking slowly in the street
some minutes before the passenger
train pulled out and noticing that he
had a conductors check in his hat
presumed that he was taking little
fresh air while the stop was made
at the depot. Mr.. McDonough said
to him, "Taking a little walk, eh!"
He replied, "Taking little walk eh"
Nothing more was thought of the
matter and the night policeman went
to the opera house to take care of the
lights.
rheo. Burhand saw the man on
First Ave. West as he went into the
postoffice at 5:45. Saw him next
dead in alley near electric light pole
at north end of Jessen block.
/, c.. Carpenter saw man about time
life became extinct in alley at GAS as
he, Carpenter, was going to his work.
J. w. Swope saw the body about
this time, going out from the Gem
hotel.
Both these men stated that England
had apparently fallen in heap just in
from the side walk against Jessen
building. He seemed to have fallen
on left side. There was a pool Of
blood near the feet; the hands were
bloody and there was no sign of
struggle. He was we'll dressed but
Fad no overcoat. Coroner Davis
stated that the cash was deep and a
inches long, from the right ear to the
center Of throat.
Other witnesses called at the in
quest held in States Attorney H. A.
Burgeson's office in the Merchants
National bank building in the evening
were Arthur Sterland and Alfred
Skinner.
Sheriff Brown received wire dur
ing the day from the Farmers State
bank of Uniontown advising the au-
thorities to wire w. D. England,
father, at Wheeling. This is about all
the information the authorities had up
to 10 o'clock the night of the 4th.
There were no letters or identifica-
ton cards on the body of England.
About the only things found were
1921, some keys, a bottle Of perfum-
cry and pocket mirror.
w. H. England was tail and about
40 years old. The body was taken
to the L. A. Davis morgue.
A. D. Davis, county coroner, called
E. P. Lee, H. F. Schroeder and p: T.
Hogue as jury and it seemed clear
to these men that England took his
own life. The suicide did not appear
to be intoxicated and as far as known
here there was no reason for his TAX
ing his life.
II. K. Nichols took down the testi-
mony on typewriter.
