game. In the fifth inning II. Petrie
went to first on an error by Graue:
L. Stewart hit and H. Petrie died on
third while his brother famed the
air. The other chance came in the
ninth. Streeter, first up, doubled
to left field. started to third on a
tumble and was caught between the
bags.
Linton chalked up seven errors
and Pollock one. Linton registered
two hits and Pollock two. Prouty
and Streeter drew doubles. Thus it
can be seen that the bunch of
bobbles in the first told the tale.
1t was one of the shortest games
ever played hereabouts. Twenty
nine men faced Crowskin and thir-
ty-two faced Vetter.
Pollock comes to Linton on June
18th. We are waiting to receive
them with open arms.

Linton Trimmed
Pollock SHUTS Out Emmons County
Bunch Four to Nothing Errors
Lose the Game.

As Addie Joss once said. pitching
is eighty per cent Of the game !"
Sundays game between Linton and
Pollock is explained eighty per cent
in just that way. The other twenty
per cent can be accounted for by
the fact that Linton infield had a
penchant for errors and lots of them.
With the exception of Kohl, at
short, the entire infield managed to
break into the error column and
Stewart and Paulson doubled it for
good measure. Now you have the
reason for score of four to moth
ing in favor Of Pollock.
Crowskin. the noted Indian twirler.
did the mound work for the South
Dakota bunch and he maintained his
reputation as one, of the best Indian
pitchers seen in the Northwest for
years. Vetter. for Linton, held
down his end in good shape as far
as pitching was concerned. He only
drew four strike-outs but there was
never a time that the batting of his
opponents entitled them to scores.
Fisher passed couple of pitched
balls that added to the gaiety of
nations. Vetter threw high to first
and low second. Paulson fumbled.
Petrie Let man score while retir-
ing one at first. Kohl fumbled on
steal that might have got the man.
Fisher fumbled and threw wild.
That's the history of the infield, and
that's the history of the four scores.
Fourteen strike-outs for Crowskin
explains the other end of the score.
To this list F. Petrie and Paulson
contributed three each and every
other member of the team at least
one with the lone exception Of H.
Petrie.
Pollock had all their fun in the
first and third innings. Holmes was
first up and singled. He stole Sec
ond and went to third on a passed
ball, scoring on a fielder's choice.
Pr0uty struck out. sGraue reached
first on a fielder's choice and was
nailed at second while Crowskin
went to first. Jones flew out to
Streeter.
In the third inning Holmes went
to first on Paulson's error. Prouty
hitto F. Petrie which went for q
double. scoring Holmes. Prouty
went to third on Stewards error,
and Graue to first by the same
route. Crowskin. Jones and Lang
liers went down while Prouty and
Graue were scoring. After that
they were never dangerous.
Linton bid for score twice in the

P. Q. May Be. Moved
Better Location Sought for Linton
Postofflce-Present Site Not In
keepiug With Requirements of
Office-Flrst Bank Building May
be Secured.

Petitions have been circulated in
Linton the past week asking for the
removal of the Linton postofiice
from its present position in the old
frame building just north Of the
Smith & Irvine furniture store to
the building formerly occupied by
the First Bank of Linton.
For several weeks the local postal
authorities have been working on
this change. They have taken the
matter up with the Washington
authorities and found at first that
the rent for the new location was
more than the department would
stand for. 1t was then decided to
rent the front part of the building
in question at u rental more in
keeping with the ideas of the gov
ernment on the question.
This week the petitions will be
sent in, accompanied by a photo
graph of the proposed LOCATION as
we'll as the present site.
If the change is effected it will
provide fine stone building for a
postoffice, the building containing a
vault and proper equipment for
safeguarding the records of the Of
fee. 1t is on corner and is easily
accessible from all parts of town.
Nearly all the local patrons Of the
office have attached their names to
the petitions.

Electric Lights?
Minnesota Man tiers Looking Up
Prospects for a Light Plant
Council Meets and Goes Over
Prospective Franchise
Ing Current Planned.

1t has been "off agin. on agin.
Flanigin.' so many times on this
eIectric-light business that it is
with fear and trembling that one
talks on the subject. However. Fri
day and Saturday Of last week MIR.
A. Nj. Baker. of Morris. Mimi. was
in the city looking over the situa-
ton and left for his home after max
ing arrangements that seemed quite
satisfactory.
Saturday Mr.. Baker canvassed the
town and determined about what he
could expect in the way of business.
The city council have agreed to
take four arc lights for Broadway
and seventeen smaller lamps for the
residence section for which they will
pay something over $500 per year.
Most of the business houses in town
signified their intention of using
lights If the plant proved satisfac.
tory.
Mr.. Baker states that he wishes to
install an alternating current sys-
TEN at an expense of something like
seven thousand dollars. An effort
will be made to secure lease Of
railroad property just south Of the
Thompson lumber yards. A second
choice would be location just west
from there on the west side Of the
track.
Sunday night the members Of the
council got together and discussed
the terms of possible franchise.
The terms of the one prepared for
II. N. Turner last winter appeared
to be acceptable with few excep-
tions. One point which Mr.. Baker
made was the necessity Of exclusive
privilege of running live wires across
any streets and alleys Of the city.
This. in fact. is about all there is to
franchise. At present. r. X.
Hogue has such wire running from
his drug store to his hotel. H. N.
Turner has a wire from the hotel to
the moving-picture show. Mr..
Turner has signified willingness to
take his lights and Juice" for the
show from the new company.
MIR. Baker is former employe of
the Otter Tail Power Company
which supplies large list of towns
in North Dakota and Minnesota in
the vicinity of Wahpeton. He states
that he is only one Of several per-
sons interested financially in the pro.
posed plant but that he would have
the active management. He has
gone to Minnesota to confer with
those interested with him in the
venture.
In years gone by the city has dug
up almost as much money for three
or four gasoline street lamps that
! wouldn't work as the city's contract
for such an efficient lighting SER
vice would require. Let US hope
the prospects pan out and next win
ter will see a decent lighting sys.
tenn in this town.

"Ohicials of the government have

of which information has continually
gone to the German embassy.
AT least two persons in the state

The government is said TO have in
its possession proof that these leaks
have been constant and that important
and valuable information, particular

has constantly found its way into the
possession of Count Won BernstOrff
and Captain Boyd.
There have been numerous con.

and every possible effort has been
made to stop this traffic in state Sc
