residing west of Sank Centre, met
a fellow giving the name of Harry
O'Neil in one of the local saloons on
July 18th. O'Neil asked Swada for
the time and later asked to see
the watch which he unsnapped from
the chain, and started away saying
he would be back in short time. Of
course he failed to come and instead
sold the watch and made his getaway.
Last Sunday he dropped into town
from Alexandria and was promptly
picked up by Officer Geo. Engle. He
was brought before Judge Diehl
of the municipal court Monday
morning. He admitted that he had
been arrested twice at Glenwood in the
past three months, and said that he
came from Burlington, Iowa. He was
badly mixed on his connection with
the watch claiming Swade instructed
him to sell it for him, but admitted
that he had used the money for drink.
Judge Diehl gave Inn 80 days in the
county Jail at st. Cloud and he was
taken down by Chef of Police Fish
Monday Afternoon. 1t is understood
that the Pope county authorities are
very anxious for an interview with
O'Neil and he will probably be taken
when his jail sentence expires:

WAS REAL HORSE RACE
Major CAM Wins Exciting Five Heat
Contest in Free for All Race ~
at CrOOkst0n

The Sanderson and Parker stable
raced at Crookston last week. The
[2:10 pace was generally looked upon
as the "big CARD of the meeting and
the people were. not disappointed.
Major CAM and Rob Roy 2:05A and
Geo. w. Newton 2:08k were among
the entries in this race A blanket
would cover all thre eat the finish of
every heat. Geo. Newton won the
first two heats by a nose with Major
second, Rob Roy took the third with
Major still second in close finish,
Mr.. Sanderson pushed the Major to
thethe front and took first money in
the last two heats. The heats were
all paced in less than 2:14, very fast
time for this season of the year on a
half mile track. The rivalry between
these three horses and their drivers
is very keen and no little bad blood
exists. Quite naturally Messrs. San
.derson and Parker are elated over the
winning of this race.
Kingola won third money in the
2:24 pace in field of eight. Ross
Directum was. behind the money in a
field of ten, and DeHall was drawn in
the second heat of his race because of
bad foot. He will be laid up for
some time.
This week the stable are racing at
the North Dakota State Fair at Grand
Forks.

Fon Sunday and the crack OF gun is

son. .a- Is r..
Mr.. Compton is in love with the Can
adam system of taxation. In the
cities and towns personal property
pays a tax to maintain the expenses
of the municipality, but in the coun-
try districts taxes are levied only on
land, by a single tax system and i'm
provements and personal property
are exempt; this has a tendency to
limit large holding of real property
in an unimproved state by spectators
and is a strong inducement for men to
improve their farms, as improved
land pays no higher rate of taxes
than unimproved. ..
Mr.. Compton stated that the pro-
vince of Saskatchewan went dry, by
government order, on June 80, and
that when the Dominion says a town
is dry, it is dry, and it is impossible
to get dose of snakebite medicine
for love or money in the entire
Province. As result of this order
all the inn-keepers and hotel men
have gone on strike and closed their
doors declaring that it was impossible
to run their hotels with profit with
out booze attachment, and travellers
are compelled to lodge in private
houses and feed in restaurants.
He states that the European war
has not materially affected western
Canada except to make the people
more careful and prudent and has de-
pressed real estate values and put a
stop to specializing and wild eating.
Mr.. Compton says that the citizens
of western Canada are intensely loyal
to the mother country, and that the
military spirit is increasing all the
time instead of diminishing; that
when the first call for 10000 troops
were made more that 10000 offered
themselves.
Like all native and adopted Cana
dams, Mr.. Compton is very sanguine
of the ultimate result of the war.
There is not the slightest doubt in
their minds but that England and
her allies will be victorious in the
end, and If necessary he states that,
every able-bodied man in Canada will
volunteer to secure this result. "a

DID WE LOSE? SURE.
Alexandria Ball Tossers Fatten Bat
ting Averages at the Expense of
Sank Centre Pitchers.

Something over 100 fans and few
fanettes journeyed out to the fair
grounds Sunday afternoon to witness
the ball game between the Sank Cen
tire Greys and the Alexandria repre-
sentatives in the Central Minnesota
League.
Manager Segers had a sure enough
Indian battery but they failed to put
the. sign on the bunch from Alexan-
dria. AS a matter of fact the pale
faces did not only have the scalp of
the Chippewas but they had their base
ball hide on the fence to dry before
the game had progressed many in
nings. ,..,.
The fielding of the locals was not so
bad as only three errors were chalked
up and these were excusable because
of the bad condition of the diamond.
Their poor stick work was again in
evidence, and during the entire nine
innings only four ball were bated out
of the diamond, one of them being a
clean single by Bradley, the only sure
enough hit of the game. Three
scratch hits were made, one of them
by 14-year-old Arthur Butler put in
as pinch hitter in the eighth. Later
he was an easy victim in his attempt
to steal second. The other hits were
made by Bradley. and Hansen. Art
Weisner went to the box in the ninth
inning and retired the visitors on
four pitched balls.
Alexandria commenced to play the
old army game with the stick in the
first round, and before the game was
over they had piled Is bingles, among
which were pair of three-baggers
and couple of home runs. The score
was Is to 1, very much on the Bryan
order.
Long Prairie and st. Cloud met on
the St. Cloud diamond Sunday after
noon for what many considered to be
the crucial game of the season. Both
teams had frightened for the fray, but
Graves is an Indian with something
more than glove as pitcher, and
of course Long Prairie won.
Osakis and Melrose had tight one
at Osakis Sunday. Black held the
Melrose crowd to two hits and his
mates only made two errors behind
him, but the jinx was still busy and
Melrose walked off with 1 to o
game.
Melrose is now third in the league
standing, Alexandria fourth, Sank
Centre fifth and Osakis last. The
final standing of Sank Centre and
Osokis may be changed as the two
teams have a postponed game to
play.
Sunday the locals are booked to.
play St. Cloud. .
