MADE Them HUMP
IchabOds Played NOrmaIs to
Tie in First Half.
Hargiss Had to Use His Best
Men to Win Game.

The nearest that the Washburn Ich-
abods have come to a victory this sea-
son was Saturday night, when Coach
Gray's quintet surprised even their
most enthusiastic supporters and held
Bill Hargiss Emporia teachers to
a 1916 tie in the first half of their
game in Washburn gymnasium. How
ever. in the second half the EN-
porians hit their stride and when the
final shot was fired the score stood 36
to IS in their favor.
The first half of the game was
fine exhibition of roughness, but was
not much of a basketball game.
Neither side displayed the teamwork
expected, and most of the goals made
by both were more the result of luck
than scientific playing. The teachers
got off in the lead and played as if
they intended to settle the argument
early, but in the last half of the pc
riod the Ichabods resorted to long
chances and succeeded in bagging
enough goals to tie the score.
Both teams came back in the sec
ond half with reinforcements and
greater determination to win. Tro-
bert was sent into the battle for the
Ichabods and Hargiss called out his
best men, after giving the whole squad
a severe scolding during the inter-
mission.
The teachers showed a semblance of
real team work in the second period
and soon the goal shooting of Cut
Ter and Cross gave them a lead that
could not be overcome. Cutler and
Groth were, by far, the best individual
players on the floor, although Cross
and Nelson played a steady, consistent
game. The lineup, score and sum-
mary.

basketball player as we'll as thrower
of the bull and a football hero. When
he goes into the pen where the bull is
kept, seeking a wrestling match, he
always wears trainmans flag fastened
in his belt, and the bull never fails to
accept the challenge.
Sometimes the bull gets the best of
Driesbach, but more often he is sue
cessful in throwing the bull by grab
bling him by the horns and wrestling
with him until he forces the animals
head to the ground.
Driesbach is unusually well built
with broad shoulders and well devel-
oped arm muscles. His friends say
that except on the field he never at
tempts to throw the bull, being very
modest and unassuming in his man
ner. TIA general description of Dries

Liked DeCOrah'S HOSnitaIitY.

The following from the New
Hampton Courier is very complimen-
tary to the DEBORAH high school foot
ball team and we are sure will be
much appreciated by them, as it is
by all Decorahians:
"Decorah's hospitality and good
sportsmanship will long be remem-
bered by New Hampton boys, the
game being clean football from start
to finish. After the game, the Sen
ior class of the DEBORAH High School
entertained the two football teams
to a delicious supper of oysters, ice
cream, cake, fruit salad, sandwiches,
and other delicacies in which ath-
letes indulge when they break trair-
ing. Games were then played AMI
good fellowship promoted. Each
member of the DEBORAH team took
member of the New Hampton
team home with him for the night.
No visiting team will be more heart
lily welcomed to New Hampton than
representatives of DEBORAH High
School"

EXCITEMENT CAUSED BY
DEPOSING INDIAN CHIEF

Wheeler, S. D.. June 7.-Advices
from the Pine Ridge Indian reservation
are to the effect that there has been
great excitement among the Sioux of
that reservation during the past few
days, this being due to the fact that
the tribal council. composed of Indians
from different sections of the reserva-
ton. deposed Jack Red Cloud from the
position of tribal chief. Jack Red Cloud
is a son of Red Cloud, the famous
Sioux chief, who died a year or two
ago, and who for many years was
looked upon as the head of the entire
Sioux nations. Indians representing
the different districts on the reserva-
ton now have held an Indignation
meeting at a central point, at which
the action of the tribal council was
bitterly denounced and the demand
made that Jack Red Cloud be REIN
stated as chief of that branch of the
Sioux nation which resides on the Pine
Ridge reservation. Serious trouble be-
tween the Indians themselves is antici-
pated in the event that the tribal
council refuses to rescind it's action
and reinstate the deposed chief.

OFFICIAL RULING ON
SCHOOL TREASURES
These Officials, When Appoint
ed, Hold For Full Period of
Unexpired Term.

Pierre. S. d., June 10.-The treasurer
Of an independent school district, when
appointed by the board to fill a va
cancy, nolds office not merely until the
next election, but for the %uneXpired
term. is the ruling of the attorney gen.
eral to the superintendent Of public in
StructiOn.
Absence Of any statute proviso spc-
officially concerning the treasurer, while
the law does say that any vacancy oc-
curing more than 80 days previous to
the annual election shall be filled at
the first annual election thereafter, in
relation to members of the board,
causes the attorney general to conclude
that as the proviso refers expressly TO
members of the board only, evidently
indicates a Legislative intent that the
general rule of law will apply as to
filling other vacancies, such as that OF
the treasurer, the general rule of law
being that in absence of statutory pro-
visions to the contrary one appointed
to fill a vacancy holds not merely UNI
til the election, but for the I'M
expired term.

DAKOTA CROP OUTLOOK
CONTINUES ENCOURAGING.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June Crop con
ditions throughout South Dakota con-
tinue of the most encouraging charac-
ter. While rainy weather during a good
part of May retarted corn planting, the
great bulk of this crop was in the
ground h closing days of May, n
late fields have been planted during the
past few days.
Early planted corn now is several
inches above the ground and has been
cultivated for h first time. In some
sections, along bottom lands, corn had
to be replanted.
The weather during the past few
weeks has been ideal for the small
grain crop Of the state. which already
has attained a good growth, with
strong stalks n a fine, healthy color.
Crop conditions in western South
Dakota continue as favorable as in the
eastern section, the rainfall in that sec
ton having been abundant, with the re-
suit that the ground is we'll saturated
and crops are making rapid growth.
Everything indicates that h western
half of the state will this year produce
the greatest crops in it's history.

COMPROMISE VERDICT
IN EXPRESS TAX SUIT
Decision BY Judge Hughes Al
lows About Half of Claims
of Tax Commission.

Pierre, S. D., June fudge Hughes.
of the Sixth circuit. has made his find
ings in the express tax cases when
were tried before him, and splits the
difference between the contentious OF
the state tax commission and the X
press companies.
Judge Hughes finds the valuation OF
the Wells Fargo company in he state
to be $3.50 on which the tax would
be $5,197.50. To settle this the company
had made a tender of $205.60 to the
state, the amount they thought they
ought to pay.
The valuation of the American Ex-
press company was placed at S45O,0O0.
which Gould mean a tax in the state Of
S4,455. This company a made the
state a tender of $1S4.S1.
The figures of Judge Hughes are
about SO per cent of the figures which
had been fixed by the state tax COM
mission as an equitable assessment of
these companies. 1t is not likely that
the companies will pay this without
further appeal to the supreme court.
