During the recent high wind ven

some speedy settlement.

The Chokio base ball team, accom-
panied by the whole school. came over
last Friday and were given a good
walloping at the hands of our school
team. The score was Is to 5, and

"cut the comedy" So far the Al.
berta boys have not lost single
game this season. Hancock will be
the next on the list.

Prof. Grafelman, T. A. Maanum
L. ]. Schlattman, Commissioner
Gausman and Superintendent Roberts
went to Hancock Saturday to attenC
a school meeting called for the pur
pose of discussing the proposition tt
consolidate Dist. % with the Hancocl
school. All the Alberta delegate!
spoke at the meeting and were list
ened to attentively. A good GROVE
was on hand and there was much in
terest shown. 1t appears sentimen
there favors the consolidation.
1t is understood The Browns
Valley people won their fight fo1
better service on the branch line O.
the Great Northern. The case wa!
tried at Wheaton last week on thu
appeal taken by the railroad from thu
order of the state warehouse commits
sion. Judge Parsons, of Fergus Falls
presided for the reason that judge
Flaherty had disqualified himself b!
committing himself to the side of thu
petitioners at the time better service
was asked for. A large number O.
people from all the towns along tn
line were in attendance and the cas-
occupied several days. The railroa'
had an imposing array of legal talen
on hand in an effort to show tina
the service is good enough for tn
farmers as it is. The result of tn
case would have been satisfactory t
Alberta either way but Albert
people would like to see the Grea
Northern run their trains on time an
also look after the sanitary condi
tion of the passenger coaches.
