High School Boys
Win From Beach
In Basket Ball

The Dickinson high school basket
ball team was victorius in the game
played with the Beach team at the
armory last Friday evening by score
of 70 to 6. Brilliant playing and al
most perfect team work made the
Dickinson aggregation almost invinc-
ible.
Dickinson held the lead from the
very beginning. Brodie and NC
Cutchan led by long odds in the
scoring, the former scoring. twenty
points and the latter thirty-six points:
.rillquiSt, Dickinson's CENTER, scored
six points in each half. Guon and
Ware showed ther great ability to
guard their opponents in most ef-
fective manner. Grit and ginger were
predominant and the boys literally
Swept the Beach boys off their feet.
Brodie made two long baskets in the
first half and McCutchan made one
long one in the second half. Eldred
was put in for the last part of the
second half and the Beach substitute
was also put in. Beach's chief trouble
seemed to be that they "bunched''
and when the ball was in their hands
they had no one to whom to throw
it.
Welland Orchard Of this city UNI
pired the game. The line up was as
follows:
Beach-Hoverson, rf; Theison, If;

CHURCH MOVED TO
NORTH LINE TOWN

:, The Catholic church building at
Manning is being moved at the pres
ent time to the town of Dunn Center
on the north line. The small church
building was erected several years
.fsc vt the Dunn county seat prior to
the time the railroad built in
through the north country, and now
that the new towns are firmly estab-

Center. New Catholic churches have
been erected at several points in Dunn
county during the past two years and
with this building being moved from
it's present location all will be enabled

RETIRING JUDGES
WILL HOLD OVER

The old supreme court was sus-
tanned Monday afternoon in a decls-
ion handed down by the special COM
mission named to hear+the arguments
in whether the newly elected members
of the supreme court, Robinson, Grace
and BirdzeA, are eligible to office on
the first Monday in December.
The four district court Judges who
handed down the decision were Pol
lock as chief justice, Crawford, Nussfe
and Leighton.
The newly elected members OF the
supreme court contended that they
were eligible to take their offices on
the first Monday in December where
as defendants claimed the right to
hold their office until the first Mon
day in January. The case attracted
a great deal of attention among the
attorneys and politicians OF the state
Immediately following the decision
of the court it was announced tnat
notices will be served on the state
auditor and state treasurer warning
them against paying salaries for the
month Of December to retiring JUS
tices Fisk, Burke and Goss. AT the
same time the three justices-elect, lg;;
:noring the decision of the provisiona!
court handed down this week will
present vouchers for months sery,,
ice on the supreme bench and will
demand that the same be paid. This
proceeding will, it Is believed, thro"
the entire issue into the courts once
more, and by the time the present
LEGAL action is returnable the new
justices will in ;all probability have
taken their seats and when the cas- 81
reaches the supreme court they vii
constitute a majority there.

UP FOR TRIAL
THIS " EEK
BOULGER & HUGHES CASE
AGAINST NORTHERN PACIF-
&c GOES TO JURY.
Jury in Blindpigging Case Returns a
Verdict of Acquittal in Favor of
George SehOenlein.

;, D1strlct court is again in session
THIS week and win likely continue over
the holidays as there are yet a num-
ber of important cases to be tried.
On Monday the criminal action
against George Schoenlein, charged
with bllndpigging, was up for trial
and resulted in the acquittal of the
defendant. There were some twenty
witnesses examined, all of whom, ex-
cept one, were good witnesses for the
state. One feature of the case was
the arrest of Louis Gullickson, one of
the witnesses. on a charge of perjury.
When taken before the court he en-
tered a plea Of guilty.
Inc damage ease against the
Northern Pacific, Boulger & Hughes,
defendants, took up several davs'
time and goes to the Jury Friday
morning. This is another one of the
damage suits resulting from the
heavy ralnstorm two years ago when
the water was backed up from the
railroad tracks and did considerable
damage to Willard street business
houses. Soules & Butler, and Reich
ert d Ray were awarded damages in
suits last spring and two other small
claims were put in with the Boulge,.
& Hughes case. The Northern Pa
cific was represented by the firm of
Watson, Young & Comy of Fargo
and Attorney Tillotson Of Bismarck.
Murtha & Sturgeon and T. H. Pugh
appeared for the plaintiffs.
Joe Fleck was arraigned for nom
support and was ordered by the court
to pay $50 per month toward the sup
port of his family
The Murtha case and the 81. c.. R."
case will come up before the end of
the term. Judge Crawford will likely
call in another judge to sit in these
cases.
Attorneys for both the defense and
prosecution in the case of Newton
Hough, charged with robbery in con-
nection with several others whose
cases were tried last spring, had the
case dismissed. The m:.terial witness
for the prosecution was John Nevells,
who was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary and but recently made his es-
cape from that institution. A con-
viction could not be secured without
Nelells' testimony, hence the dis
missal. The case came up in Bur-
leigh county on a change Of venue
from Stark.

PRICES ARE FIRM
IN COTTON GOODS
Inquiry In Print Cloth Division Is
Strong, Volume of Trading Light

Fail River. Mass, June 25.-Actual
trading in the cotton goods markets
last week was small in volume, but
there was an Improvement in feeling.
Buyers have shown more interest in
market conditions and there was dis
tinctly better inquiry. The improve
ment was more noticeable during the
closing days of the week. There are
signs that business will soon grow
larger.
Sales would have been considerably
larger had manufacturers agreed 20
some of the quotations which were sug-
gcsted by buyers whose ideas as 20
values were at variance with those
held by manufacturers. Some buyers
requested concessions which were alto
gether too large, and consequently the
volume of their takings was naturally
reduced.
Some odd counts which figured in the
weekly business showed reductions
ranging from sixteenth to an eighth
OF cent per yard from the prices pre-
vsIling at the close of the previous
week.
The cost of production is increasing
and manufacturers will insist upon
higher values for their goods. Mill
men expect to obtain in the near future
the full quoted prices Of three weeks
ago, and, in fact, some manufacturers
have already made up their minds to
insist upon higher prices.
Cotton prices are advancing, and
manufacturers are giving this item
their most careful consideration. The
increase in wages is being felt, and a
gradually decreasing production is

making the burden Of overhead ex-
pense heavier
The print cloth division Of the mar
ket has felt the better inquiry more
keenly than the fine goods division.
The demand for fine goods is light, but
the mills in this city and New Bedford
are well provided with orders for some
time to come, and the present quiet has
little effect on these mills. Manu-
facturers of the finer counts will not
entertain lower prices for their output,
and this truth has been proven 10 those
buyers who desire goods at reduced
prices. For what comparatively few
goods fine count mills have for sale
full asking prices are demanded, and
manufacturers can afford to wait till
the demand for these goods becomes
more acute.

Railroads Hold Fairly Steady

Railroads went back with the rest OF
the list in the scattered liquidation o.
Monday. q there has been a good deal
of speculation in the carriers in recent
weeks. After that they held fairly
steady. Here speculation has not been
carried 10 excess. Judged on current
earnings and quotations Of former
years, the railroads nave been selling
az low rather than high prices, and fear
Of European liquidation has prevented
any runaway market. The steel trade
has such a volume of orders ahead that
in spite Of lowered prices Tor pig iron
and Tor finished steel typical stocks OF
this group moved with the rails.
News OF mobilizing the National
Guard received over Sunday sent
stocks lower, partly through closing
out Of speculative accounts whose
holders did not care 70 hang on m
face of possible trouble, partly
through short selling by traders.
Tuesday brought no further bad news
and recovery set in as few new buy
ers appeared and the shorts repur-
chased. After that prices worked
lower in nervous trading, with rumor
playing about as important part IN
