WIBAUX DEFEATS LOCALS.

The Beach team journeyed to
Wibaux yesterday and tried their
prowess against the team repre-
senting that city. They returned
the losers after long and listless
struggle, by score of 10 to s.
Canty was on the firing line for
the locals while Brownlee and Fox
did mound duty for the Wibaux
aggregation. Owing to high
wind the game was replete with
hitting. On the Beach side only
one fly ball was caught in the out.
field out of possible eight. Paul.
son at short for the locals did
very good work. Pervis was the
hitting star of the afternoon. get
ting three hits and a walk in fiv.
trips to the plate. Nelson ane
Armentrout played star games fo,
Wibaux.
On Sunday the locals will &c
to Baker. where they will play the
fast team of that city.

9!esess BALL NOTES.

The release of Doyle by the
Fargo-Moorhead team was dis
tinct surprise to the fans through
out the state. Even the top
notchers have temporary slump
sometimes. He was quickly
signed up by the Duluth manage
ment.
Though it is pretty hard at
present to prophesy a winner in
any of the leagues it looks as
though either one of the Chicago
teams will finish at the top.
St. Boniface has been the sur
prise in the Northern while Du-
luth remains in the same position
that they did last year.
1t looks as though the locals are
going to have a very good team.
The Grand Forks management,
had some difficulty as the result
of their refusal to pay transpor.
tation to the players to the train
ing camp. The usual custom i.
to pay a players fare at the be-
aiming of the season and tht
Grand Forks magnates' refusal te
do so occasioned a strike on th.
part of the players.

.Bootlegger
Apprehended

While about the circus grounds
on Monday Sheriff Smith noticed
that D. H. Eaton. former resi-
dent of Sentinel Butte, was max
ing himself acquainted with the
circus hands in manner that did
not augur any good. The sheriff
suspicious were aroused and upon
inquiry into Eaton's conduct he
learned that he carried three
TASKS of liquor, which he was
about to dispense to some of the
performers. Sheriff Smith there
upon took him into custody and
journeyed with Eaton to an auto
that stood a block or two from
the grounds. In the back seat of
the machine the sheriff found
f., more than four dozen TASKS Of
whiskey. Eaton had planned a
good sale on circus dav. The
sheriff asked States Attorney
Waldron for warrant which was
promptly issued and signed by
Justice Heath. The promptness
of the official precluded escape
and Eaton thereupon pleaded
guilty and on Wednesday jour
neyed with Sheriff Smith to ap-
pear before Judge Crawford at
Dickinson for sentence. Judge
Crawford sentenced him to ninety
days in Jail and the payment of
two hundred dollars fine. He was
returned to this city to serve the
time in the county Jail.

South Branch
Line Assured
Telegram From N. P. President
Hannaford Promises that New
Line Will be Ready For Traf-
fic in October.

The proposed branch line out of
Beach south to Ollie and Carlyle

Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany materialize. Assurance was
given the proposition in mes
sage which was sent to R. D. Will:

The construction of the new

farmers in the territory and the
business men of Beach, all Of
whom have given both time and
funds in order to raise the sum
of $2l, 900, which has been ten
dered the N. P. railroad as bon
us. The new line will traverse
one Of the richest stretches of
country in the Northwest, and will
occasion many new enterprises.
The country is already settled up
and enough revenue will be forth
coming this fall for the mainten-
ance Of a branch line. The pros
poets for a good harvest were new
er better in the section through
which the new line will pass.
The new line will occasion
new enterprises at Burkey, Ollie
and Carlyle. Some of the bust
ness men of this city will in al
probability have branch stores ir
the new towns. Several new ele
vators will also be needed te
handle the large amount of grair
that must necessarily be movec
next fall.

ly observed at the opera house on
Sunday afternoon. In spite of
the rainy weather very interest
ing program was rendered. At
torney Simpson from Dickinson
was the speaker for the occasion.
His speech was very interesting.
He dwelt upon the efficacy of the
occasion, especially calling atten-
ton TO the fact that our nation
should be most sincerely thank
full that we do not find it neces-
sarv to decorate the graves of the
heroes of 1915.
The speaker said that our ma
ton was at this time country Of
heroes of peace. His reference to
Woodrow Wilson was we'll receiv-
ed by his listeners. He expressed
himself as most thankful that an
apostle of peace sat in the chair
at Washington, and proud that
our nation at this time has the
! courage to insist on maintaining
a national policy of peace. In
conclusion he added that there
were cheers for the living and
tears for the dead.
Rev. keniston introduced the
speaker of the day. Following

the chorus of young ladies in
singing the Star Spangled banner.

CORRECTION.


Through typographical erro,
we neglected last week to men
ton the donation of $500 made
by the Power Clothing Co. to the
fund that has been raised as bon
us to the Northern Pacific railroad
for the construction of a branch
line out of Beach. The Powe,
store has at all times been among
the first to assist in anything that
is conducive to civic and rural
betterment. This is evidenced by
their recent donation to the new
railroad project.

Circus Attracts
Large Crowd

Monday was circus day and a
very auspicious one. A bright
pleasant day made it possible for
Yankee Robinson's show to en-
tertain a record crowd of six
thousand people. The show was
very good. The street parade
started promptly on schedule, as
did the other attractions which
followed.
The show train arrived on Sun
day from Miles City. On account
of inclemency of the weather on
Sundaythe baseball gamebetween
the Yankee Robinson circus team
and the locls had to be postponed
until the day following. The
game followed the show and res
ulted in a victory for the locals by
good margin. '@a'
The circus entertainment was
very much appreciated though
there were no real great features.
The coterie of clowns were up to
the standard. as were also the
riding and acrobatic events. lhe
athletic Japs were about the best
act on the afternoons bill. lhe
Ibucking horse riders were well
worth the attention of the specta'
TORS Among the visitors during
the day were many residents from
the Trotters, Carlyle, Burkey and
Sentinel Butte country, as we'll a:
from Montana. lnasmuch as thi:
was the first stop the show made
on their journey from Miles Cit,
here.
During the evening very large
crowd took in the dance which
was given at the opera house
Jones' orchestra furnished thu
music for the occasion. Every ont
of the seventy couples who at
tended spent a. very enjoyable
evening. This was the initial en-
tertainment of Mr.. Jones, and tn
effort was most praiseworthy.
The circus left here Monday ev
ening to show at Dickinson. Th'
Yankee Rob;nsons were not mar
yed by the presence of unwelcom'
characters which very often fol
low a circus.
