SUPERIOR May LOSE
BURDEN; DONALDSON GONE
Marines stand Chance of Losing Bur

aIdsOn Has Jumped.

Superior, Wis, July 5.-The Superior
Marines have lost one pitcher and may
lose another. Donaldson has jumped to
the Chisholm, Mimi, Independent team,
and Burden may go to war.
While it was known that Chisholm
had made an offer to Donaldson, his
jumping came somewhat as a surprise.
1t is said that differences with other
members of the club resulted in his
hasty action. He did not notify Man
aged Brautigan and when he failed to
report at Hislop park, upon inquiry.
the manager learned that the elongat-
ed hurler had gone to the range town.
He will be suspended from organized
baseball.
Burden received word to report at
Fort Thomas, KY, where the national
guard of that state mobilized. Burden
is a member of the Darlington, KY.
company with the rank of second lieu
tenant. Because of physical ailments,
there is a probability that Burden
would not be passed by the examining
officers. He has forwarded word to
that effect and is waiting for an an
swer.
Because Of the loss of Donaldson, the
management of the club is not overly
anxious to lose Burden even though his
immediate danger of real war, OF
course we would not hesitate to tell
Burden to CO." said Manager Brauti-
gan, but 1t comes as blow" ...
While Ted Burgwald and Mats have
shown excellent form in the games

SOLDIERS MONUMENT
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
New Memorial to Veterans Was Center
of Fourth of July Crowd in Island
Park Yesterday.

The soldiers monument at the
entrance to Island park at the foot of
Broadway attracted considerable at
tention from the large number of peo-
pie who were celebrating the Fourth
of July yesterday.
The monument has now been COM
pleted and is a decided decorative
asset as we'll as being a creditable
memorial for those soldiers of the civil
war and the war with Spain who have
answered the last summons.
Yesterday the figure Of a soldier OF
1861, which surmounts the shaft, was
draped in the national flag.
The prospects of conflict with
Mexico caused the patriotic people in
the city yesterday to pay more than
usual attention to the monument.

JOS. BLAKESLEE
DIES AT DETROIT

A host of friends in this city and
elsewhere of Miss AIDA Blakeslee and
brother, G. D. Blakeslss and wife, will
learn with regret of the death of JOS
eph Blakeslsee, father of the former
two, who Passed away at Detroit lake
at 6:20 p. m. on Monday, July 8. Mr..
Blakeslees demise was due to stomach
trouble, which had been gradually in
creasing in severity for che past year.
Death occurred at the cittage which
his daughter had taken for the summer
at Pokegama beach, Detroit lake, in
the hope Of benefiting his health. They
had gone to the lake just two weeks
to the day prior to Mr.. Blakeslee's
death. Mr.. and Mrs. C. D. Blakeslee
also were with him when the end
came, and another son, John H.
Blakeslss of Oskaloosa, Ia, reached
his bedside just an hour before his
death.
The deceased was IS years Of age
last New Years day, and practically
ever since his daughter, Miss AIDA
Blakeslee, a prominent member of the
Dakota Conservatory of Music faculty,
took up her residence in Fargo, almost
five years ago, had made his home with
her in the Improvement building. The
two came to this city from Des Moines,
Ia, where Miss Blakeslee was promi-
nent in music circles, and where the
family has many friends. Mr.. Blakes-
lees wife died in that city about FIVE
years ago, only a short time before
they came to Fargo, and William e.
| Blakeslee, another son, died at Miles
City, Mont, two years ago. The lat
| ter was quite we'll known in Fargo,
as he formerly travelled out of this
city.
Joseph Blakeslee was a member Of
| the G. A. R., having served his coun-
try well throughout the Civil war, and
the funeral will Probably be under the
| auspices of the G. A. r. of Oskaloosa,
Ia, where interment will be made in
the old family burying ground. His
wife and son are both buried there.
Mr.. Blakeslee was also affiliated with
| the A. o. u. w.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. D. Blakeslee, Miss
AIDA Blakeslee and John H. Blakes-
lee left Fargo Tuesday night, accom-
panying the remains to Oskaloosa,
where the family has relatives. Ar
rangements for the funeral had not
yet been made when the party left this
city.

LOokIN' 'EM OVER.

Home runs have cut real figure
in the four games of Monday and
Tuesday.
Pitcher Cummings got credit for
two wins yesterday. Both times when
he was relieved by F. Johnson the
Fort Bills were in the lead.
That man DeBus ought to be able
to hold a position on any team. In the
four games already played, his field
ing and hitting have been features.
In the evening contest, Monday, he
connected for three two-baggers in
four trips to the plate, and yesterday
| he put a homer over the fence.
Joe Weidell made his first miss on
fly ball this season at the afternoon
game on Monday.
The slow and muddy field Yesterday
coined a little hard luck for both
Weidell and Meixell. Both hit the
fence with line drives but were un-
| able to get more than a single. Either
clout should have been good for two
bags.
Joe Weidell had his batting eye in
the first game yesterday. He got three
of Fargo -Moorhead's five hits.
Pitcher Cummings pulled a circus
stunt for the fans in the first game
yesterday. In going after a grounder
he slipped and fell into the mud, and
in making a second try slipped and
fell again. Manager Reynolds pulled
him out in the next inning. despite
the fact that the Fort Bills were in
the lead.
Joe WeidelI made a beautiful one
handed catch Of Turner's drive in the
seventh inning of the first game yes
terday. Joe ran in and picked up the
ball about six inches from the ground.
It isn't often that two home runs
are made in one inning. but that Is
what Griffin and DeBus did in the
second inning of the first game yes
terday. Both were clean, hard swats
over the fence.
BY the way, this man Meixell gets
| a homer once in a while. Yesterday
he lifted a beauty over the right field
fence.
Manager Bill Reynolds is real pop
ular with the fans. Yesterday he got
an ovation every time that he STEP
ped to the plate. A ball player named
Bill is sure to make hit with the
| fans.
