Lay aside all spirit of factionalism
and every issue save the one to
make FITZGERALD better, larger
and more prosperous. A successful
convention such as the Odd Fellows
meeting for Nav 24-25-26 will dc
more to bring Fitzgerald to the ia
vorable attention of desirable citiz-
ems than any other occasion we have
ever had the opportunity to pull of
in the city. Come to the meeting
next Tuesday and lend aid to make
it success.

A Tough Character.

Allen Williams, who two years
ago shot and dangerously wounded
Herman Smith, former chief of po-
lice, again came into the lime light
when Officer Pryor, under informa-
ton furnished him that Allen was
violating the prohibition law, caused
his arrest and searched the negro's
premises for whiskey he was ALLEGED
to have On hand. The negro in re-
tlllatiOn SWOre out a warrant
against the officer for unlawfully
catering his premises, and on trial
before Judge Adams, Mr.. Pryor was
bound over to the city court. In
the case against Allen before Mayor
Paulk Wednesday afternoon, an &C
quital was had for lack of sufficient
evidence. Col. Eikins represented
Williams in both cases.
The case against Officer Pryor
will no doubt be mol pressed, as he
acted in entire good faith on the
strength Of a provision in the city's
charter, which gives the police au-
thorities the right of search in cases
arising out of the prohibition ordi-
nance, but which is held to be in
violation of the Constitution of the
State and the United States.

Herald Editor
Takes Outing

The Herald Editor took a lay
off on last Thursday and spent
the day automobiling about the
surrounding country.
We started early in the morn
ing with C.. w. Hose in his
Buick machine, going to Hettin-
ger on the relay trip to the
coast, returning to Lennon
early in the same forenoon.
Immediately after our return
two gentleme1 from the south
who were here for the purpose
of looking over this country
with a view to investing if they
found conditions satisfactory,
invited us to go with them.
We started south from town

cent to the Grand River, where
we found things in the best OF
condition. Rye was headed out
and other small grains were
rapidly attaining good growth
Alfalfa was up over a foot and
looked great while the native
grasses showed a remarkable
growth.
From the Grand River We
travelled north through Lennon
and had a lunch on the banks OF
Reservoir Lake north of the
city. In this section also, the
crops looked gooi. After oui
midday meal the party took a
swim in the lake which was the
first time this season that the
lake had been enh red bv batF

fine. Much refresh q, we re-
turned to Lennon where DR..

What Causes A
Town To Die
Have Confidence i'm Your City
If You Wish to Make Your
Business a Success

More towns die for want Of
confidence on the part of busi-
ness men and lack Of public
spirit than from the rivalry of
neighboriDg towns or adverse
surroundings. says a writer in
a western paper. This is true.
When a man in search of home
or a business location goes to a
town and finds it brim full of
hope and enthusiasm over the
prospects of the place and earn
estly at work to build up the
town. he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit, and as a
result he drives his stakes and
goes to work with the same
interest. When. however. he
goes to a town and everyone
expresses a doubt and apprehen.
sion of the prosperity of the
place. moving about and indulg
ing in mournful complaints about
imaginary evils which are likely
to befaIl the town. he feels that
it is no place for him. and shakes
the dust from his feet. while lie
departs with all possible speed
for some other town. Try and
make a live. enterprising, pro-
gressive town out of the one in
which you live. When you are
working for or saving a good
thing for your town you are ac-
complishing good thing for
yourself.

P0tWin Handed
Political Plum

Word from Pierre states that
Thomas b. Potwin, editor of the
Perkins County Signal. has been
handed nice political plum in
the shape Of an appointment as
deputy commissioner Of school
and public lands, by Commits
sioner Hepperle.
This comes as rather a sur
prise to the people Of the state
since Potwin's failure to land
the appointment as member OF
the Board of Charities and Cor
rections, for which he was a
candidate last winter.
1t has been generally under
stood that Potwin intended to
leave the state this coming sum-
mer for his old home in Con-
necticut but it is our presump-
ton that now he will remain.

Seriously Injured
Cranking Engine

J. V. Johnson, of Gascoyne,
N. D., suffered a very painful
injury on Monday of this week,
while cranking a large traction
engine near this city. In start
ing the engine, Mr.. Johnson ad-
vanced the spark too far and
the backfire which resulted
threw the crank back into his
face, stricking him on the jaw.
1t appears that he had the crank
around where he was pushing 1t
over and when it came back, it
struck him just below the mouth
and travelled down to the point
of the chin, tearing all the flesh
loose and barring the jaw bone.
The peculiar part of the accident
was that the jaw bone was not
broken.
The injured man was brought
into Lennon and his wounds
attended to by DR.. Phelps. Sew
eral stitches were required to
close the wound, and although
the pain is still intense. Mr..
Johnson is getting along as well
as can be expected.

Equity Convention
Largely Attended

The Farmers Equity Union
Convention met in Lennon on
June 17-18. There was a good
attendance of members and dele
gates from Exchanges in North
and South Dakota, as well as
many visitors from the two
states.
The principal work of the
convention was the further pro-
motion of the Aberdeen Cream
cry & Mercantile Exchange.
This Centralized Creamery, when
in operation, will be able to
hsndle all the cresm from the
territory tributory to Aberdeen.

Everybody Boost
For County fail

A County Fair movement hiss
been started in Lennon and
now it is up to everybody who
is interested in the development
of this section to get together
and boost for the Fair. What
a fair would mean to this Sec
ton can not be reckones in do.-
lars and cents but it would mean
hundreds of dollars to the Sec
tion in which we are located and
also to the city of Lennon.
A fair would bring the far
mers in closer touch with each
other and with the business men
of the city and also show to the
people who are probable inves-
tors in land in the section in
which we live, what is produced
here.
A fair would also tend to
make the farmers competitive
in trying to see who could raise
the best grains, stock or truck
and in a short period it would
mean that the people were get.
ting the best there was out OF
the soil.
In addition to this fair would
make the farmers buy of each
other what they are now buying
| in the east. For instance, a
man wishes to purchase a high
grade COW. He does not know
where he can get one here Sc
he sends to Minnesota and paws
high price, besides the express
charges to this country. While,
if we had a fair here, the man
with the good stock would ex-
hibit it and then anyone wishing
anything in that line would
know where to go to get 1t.
We have all the things that
are necessary to make a fair a
success so we should now push
this matter right along and hold
our First Annual County Far
! IN Perkins County this year.

Take Liquor Suit
Federal Court
Milwaukee Attorneys Make Ap.
plcatiOn For Transfer Of In
junction Case.

Application for the transfer of
the injunction suit against the
Milwaukee railroad, in which
effort is being made to restrain
the road from handling liquor
shipments into North Dakota,
was made yesterday, according
to Attorney Ed. L. Grantham of
Aberdeen, assistant solicitor for
the lines in this territory.
Notice of the transfer to the
United States court was served
on the attorney general of North
Dakota and the states attorney
of Emmons county. Emmons
county is the seat of the fight
to force the road to stop the
shipments.
In the notice filed yesterday
the railroad attorneys say that
a federal action is involved and
the case must go into federal
court. The North Dakota au-
thorities are bringing suit with
the Webb-Kenyon law involved.
That liquor has been shipped
into Emmons county by the road
contrary to law is the claim of
the authorities. The road in
answer has contended that if
the law is being violated it is
| up to the state of North Dakota
to enforce it by the seizure of
the liquor.
The fight promises to be one
| of Importance as it virtually
means test case of the ship
ment of liquor into dry state.

Rettinger Loses
TO Lennon Caints
Local Team Still Has a Clean
Winning Record

In a loosely played game tie
Lennon team defeated the Het-
finger Hopefuls on the local
grounds last Sunday by score
of : to Z. This was the worst
exhibition of the national game
played on the local grounds in a
long time. Errors and bone
heads were pulled off with fire.
quency by men on both teams.
The reason for this poor play
ing is not because of lack of
ability as not a man on the
Lennon team Sunday is any,
thing short of semi-proifcssional
calibre. But when practice il
neglected the best of them fall
down. Lennon has not lost a
game AS yet this year and they
have begun to look on practice
as rather unnecessary. Before
the next game the boys had
better get out and do some work
as they will find that they will
have to be in the best of trim
to win from the teams at McIn-
tosh and Mobridge.
1
Fly and Potts. the old reliable
battery worked for Lennon and
although Fly complained of IA
sore arm before the game, he
pitched a wonderful game with
the support that he had. Potts
caught a good game as usual.
One play that was not under
stood by the fans was when on
the third strike Potts never even
touched the ball and runner
scored from third. Many felt
inclined to censure Potts for this
but he waa not in the least to
blame. In giving his signal,
Potts called for curve ball.
Fly misunderstood ,r failed to
see the signal and threw high
fast one. or course when Potts
called for the curve ball that is
what he expected and he was
not prepared for the ball that
failed to break.
Smith was on the mound for
Het'inger and he pitched one Of
the best games against the Lem
mon team this year. He had no
support whatever, and the catch
or was not able to handle his
position at all. We are inclined
to sympathize with Smith as in
one inning he struck out two
men, who both scored. Hettin-
ger was shy their regular catch
er and their regular third base
man. who have gone TO the
exposition.
