Beach Team Wins Basket Ball Game
From Wibaux Quint.

January l5---
In a fast game on the local floor
last evening the Beach high school
team out-classed and defeated the
aggregation representing the Wi
baux schools. Both teams played
classy ball and with little more
practice on the part Of the boys that
their team work may be improved,
they will make it interesting for any
team in this part Of the state. The
score Was 35 to II and although it
may suggest something Of Il walk-a-
way there was not Il time during
either half when every man didn't
work for all that was in him. The
Wibaux quint are a nice bunch Of
fellows and we look forward to some
more interesting games with them
ere basket ball has to give way to
| the national game.

Farmers to Meet in
Fargo February g

The North Dakota Board of Rail-
road Commissioners has called q
conference of farmers and grain
dealers for 9 a. m. Wednesday, Feb
ruary 9, at Fargo, for the discussion
Of the question whether charge
shall be obligatory for stored grain
in elevators. The present law is not
clear as to whether a charge is COM
|pulsory or not, the statute merely
fixing a maximum charge that may
be made, and as a consequence many
complications have arisen resulting
in charges Of discrimination against
some elevator and milling companies
because in some instances they have
been in the habit of charging stor-
age and in other cases no charge
has been made as an inducement to
get the grain.
The railroad commission has re-
ceived many letters for and against
the charging Of storage and it is to
get at the general consensus of op-
/! inion that this conference has been
called and an intelligent solution of
the matter arrived at, it is hoped
there will be a large attendance of
both farmers and grain men.

Destroyed
By Fire
Home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chatman
Completely Destroyed This
Forenoun-No Insurance

During the fornoon of Saturday
this morning serious fire occurred
at the home of j. Chairman, on Fair
view Avenue in Beach. Our best in
formation shows that the fire was
started from Goals left in ashes that
were thrown out from the dwelling
as refuse. The building and contents
were totally destroyed. The loss is
between six hundred and one thous-
and dollars. We understand that
there was not insurance upon either
building or contents.
The Beach fire department prompt
ly responded, as usual, to the call
for aid. Owing to the condition of
the weather and the temperatures
the chemical engine became frozen
sufficiently to affect it's effective use
while on the run to the fire. There
was no opportunity for the fire de-
partment to use the water of the
City; this was due to the lacking Of
about one hundred feet of hose to
reach the conaagration from the
nearest hydrant. The Chronicle is
pleased to say that the fire depart
ment Of Beach is to be complimented
upon its efforts to protect the build
ing and the property Of Mr.. Chat
man. All persons will, as we'll as
ourselves deeply sympathise with
the family upon the loss and the
suffering which must follow from
the destruction of their home at this
season Of the year especially under
the present conditions Of the wealth
er.

THE ROSARY

At the Opera House on Thursday,
January 20, "The Rosary" a seven
reel Selig Red Seal Play adapted
from the famous work by Edward E.
Rose will be shown. This picture is
one Of the best productions ever
made by Colin Campbell, the man
who directed such wonderful photo
plays as "The Spoilers" and "The
Carpet from Bagdad." It revolves
upon the highly dramatic theme
which is so we'll known to the play
going and novel reading public and
is presented in such an artistic man
ner that all who see it are certain
to marvel at it's beauty. The cast
includes such finished players as
Kathryn Williams, Wheeler Oakman
Charles Clary, Frank Clark and Eu-
genie Besserer.
''The hours l spend with thee, dear
heart,
Are as string Of pearls to me.
l count them over every one apart,
My Rosary, my Rosary"
A wide plain in desert place. It
is night. Gradually light comes as
the stars one by one, twinkle and ap-
pear in the armament. We see, as
though looking through the center
of the glittering roadway, far down
to earth, two dim figures, and they
toll onward and onward as they fol-
low the guiding star. Slowly each
star seems to glide into its place un-
til they form rosary.
At the same time the walls of q
rude building vanish in the starlight
and we see as if inside the stable
the cattle in their stalls and the
Christ Child lying in the manger.

And there a cross is hung"

Big Convention In
Fargo Jan. $3.50

Fargo, N. d., Jan. IL: Large post
ers and smaller window cards print
ed in four colors will soon be plac-
ed in the public places Of Beach ad-
vertising the Laymeh's Missionary
Convention for North Dakota and
western Minnesota, which will be
held in the Masonic Temple, Fargo,
January 26-28-3O. These posters
suggest that "Men are Wanted" for
world service in both home and for
eign fields. The idea of these post
ers was suggested by those used by
the U. S. Army and Navy to induce
men to enlist.
Everything looks bright for a
great convention. Registration Sun
day in Fargo and Moorhead brought
in excellent results. Five hundred
registered in one day and it is safe
to estimate according to Mr. Hatcher
Chairman Of the Registration Com
mittee, that the total registration for
Fargo and Moorhead alone will be
between $50 and 1000.
Registrations are coming in most
gratifyingly from outside towns at
the present time. Twenty per cent
Of the total registrations is from
outside the two cities. At this rate
it is not too much to estimate the to-
tai enrolment as 1900 to l4OO.
Too much cannot be said on be-
half of the program. Fred B. Fish
er, leader Of the team Of speakers,
declares that it is the strongest
team of speakers with which he has
ever been associated.

lore. end his beautiful songs; and
who reverence the "Swamp Angel'

"Freckles" is proving still great

novel, which has been read by sew
eral million people.
It must not be understood that
'Freckles" is a play essentially with
a love motive, because it is not.
There is plenty Of action in the
working out Of its theme of the kind
that "makes the pulse beat faster"
The play is great in it's simple

business in North Dakota and is in
vesting in North Dakota because he

Mr.. Thompson is certainly demon

cost to the farmer. The terms Of
payment have been made on basis
that enables the silo to actually pay
for itself.
There are only 200 silos to be fur
nished ON this basis. The offer opens

F. 7. Price
Takes Stand
Minneapolis Man Charged with
Murder Calmly Denies His Guilt
'--of Crime.

Minneapolis, Jan. l2.-Frederick
T. Price, charged with numbering his
wife took the witness stand in his
own behalf in the district court to-
day.
He calmly denied the story told by
Charles D. Etchison, chief witness
for the state, that he pushed Mrs.
Price from the cliff and then struck
her with rock with a view to in
heriting her money.
In outlining the case of defense
to the jury, NJ. c. Brady, chief coun-
sci for Price, declared it would be
shown that if, Mrs. Price was push
ed over the cliff, the act was not
committed BY the defendant, but by
Etchison himself. He then spoke at
length regarding financial dealings
between the defendant and Etchison.

S. c. Snodgrass Nowl;
Behind The Bars

S. c. Snodgrass, convicted of one
of the foulest crimes in the history
OF Burleigh county, is now a pris-
oner at the state penitentiary, where
barring accidents and miscarriages
OF justice he will remain for four
long years. He was found guilty at
the December term of district court
of rape in the second degree, al
though he was charged with great
er crime, and was sentenced by
Judge Nuessle to four years of pen
al servitude at hard labor, Sheriff
French committing him OF the charge
of Warden Talcott last Friday.
AS the result of Snodgrass' crime
the life of a young girl Of excellent
family and careful upbringing was
ruined, and her fair name dragged
through the mire, and the wonder Is
that a jury was ever permitted to
try the case. But law-abiding citi-
zens must bow in submission to the
mandates of the courts-and take
the chances of pardon boards ex-
tending ill-advised clemency to those
beasts in human form, who violate
with impunity every law of man and
God, should the aforesaid beasts fin
ally succeed in breaking into the
observation-disclosures Palladium.

ed when on Wednesday morning the
news was announced that Mrs. E.
II. Runk one Of our " cneer settlers
and most devoted friend and neigh
Dor had passed from this life. Mrs.
Runk had been in failing health for
the past fivs years. Three years ago
she and Mr.. Runk mad, a trip to
Rochester, Mimi, where they con-
suited the Mayo's about her condi-
tion but it was such that those cele-
Fbrated physicians gave them very
little encouragement for a perman-
ent recovery.
She returned to her home and
since that time has been under the
care of her local physicians who
have done all that could be done to
alleviate her suffering.
Some of the time she has been
able to oversee her housework and
to make occasional visits at her
friends homes at other times been
confined to her bed.

seriously i'll resulting in death two
days later.

to the state of Kansas where she
grew to womanhood and was unit
ed in marriage to E. NJ. Runk, March
A 1883 and came to the Golden VAL
ley twelve years ago where she has
since resided.
In the death of Mrs. Runk the
neighborhood loses a woman who
was ever ready to help the cause OF
the Master as many can testify to,
she having in the early days driven
miles to help organize our first Sun
day schools in some claim settlers
shack, as the country grew she help
ed with the same work in the schoo
houses. The greatest tribute that
can be given to this life is that she
ever had heart full Of sympathetic
charity for other peoples faults anG
short comings. "Faith, hope, charity
these three; but the greatest Of
these is charity"
