Banquet a Success.

The base ball banquet at the I. O.
%. F. hall last Tuesday evening as
suredly demonstrated that Princeton
citizens are certainly DESTROYS of
having good ball team in the field
the coming season. Over seventy
were in attendance, and all did full
justice to the sumptuous supper pre-
pared by the Ideal restaurant
Mr.. E. L. Mcmillan presided and
after the supper was over with
numerous of those present we're
called upon for remarks. Among
those who responded we're, S. P.
Skahen, Robt. II. King, II. ]. Plaas,
G. I. Staples, E. K. Evens, G. E..
Hill, A. G.. Osterberg and Fred
Newton Mr.. Osterberg was elected
a member of the board of directors
in place of Frank Goulding, who has
left Princeton, and Thomas Olson
was chosen as manager of the team
for 1915. Herman Hoff1ander, who
successfully piloted the team last
season, is contemplating leaving
Princeton and refused to again serve
in that capacity.
After the supper was over with
the members of the ball team and
the directors adjourned to a smaller
room and discussed plans for 1915.
Claire Smith was elected captain, and
there is no doubt but what he will
make good. He is one of the veteran
players of the squad and can be de-
pended upon to do his best to place a
winning team in the field this
season. S. P. Skahen was captain
last year, and it was with regret
that the team dispensed with his
services. He is an extremely "heady"
player, and understands all the ms
and outs of base ball. While he
has also refused to act as a steady
receiver this season, he will still be
a loyal supporter of the team, and
will do what he can to help the boys.
Present indications are that Prince
ton will have team in the field this
season of which all citizens can well
feel proud.

Home Talent PLAY.

g. The home talent play at the
armory last Friday evening was we'll
attended, and those present were en-
tertained by most refreshing pre-
:sentation of delightful farce
comedy entitled LAUNDERING BLY,
Each and every member of the cast
performed in an excellent manner,
and real ''hit:' was scored. Her.
man Hofflander, in the title role,
acted the awkward but we'll meaning
young man in most realistic man.
ner; while Ed Hunts portrayal of
Ezra futile, rich mine owner of
uncertain temper, was indeed true to
life. Miss Gertrude Neumann as
Dorothy Tuttle, Ezra's dauhter,
acted her part in a manner that
could not be improved upon, and
her chilly reception of the advances
of an unwelcome sutton was certainly
cool enough for anybody. Miss Edna
:Boyn as Clarissa Burnham, an ad-
ventures, added just the right touch
to the difficult part, and won the
plaudits of the audience, while it
would be difficult indeed to imagine
a truer protrayal of Japanese girl
than that by Miss Ethel HoBander.
Eugene Kalkman took the part of
Lieut.. Griswold, and succeeded ad-
mirably in giving the real military
bearing to his character, while Tom
Olsen was the saltiest kind of an old
salt, Dennie Byers as japanese
servant assumed both the walk and
accent of the natives of Nippon, and
left nothing to be desired in this
character.
The high chool orchestra enter
tanned the audience between acts,
and this splendid musical oragniza-
tion certainly did itself proud.
Nathan Peterson contributed a vocal
SOLO to the evenings program, and
rendered it in such pleasing man
her that the audience demanded
that he respond to an encore. Those
who were not in attendance certainly
missed musical and dramatic treat.

Tuesday morning at II O'Clock.
Judge W. L. Parsons of Fergus Falls,
who arrived here on Monday even

 Inspector Ralph and Deputy Sheriff Brakefeld are both working on the bootlegging cases. Deputy Sheriffs Newell and Graham are also actively engaged and the officers all over the county are aiding in the search.
 The officers are more certain than ever that the gang numbers at least twenty-five and is scattered from one end of the county to the other They have their nets out and arrests of the principles in the conspiracy are eX- pected at any moment.
 Another matter which is occupying the attention of the officers. in their search for smugglers and bootleggers is the possibility of throwing light on the murder of Walter Brooks. It would appear certain that the men who killed the special officer are in league with the gang that has been running mescal and other liquors across the boundary at Naco.
