Hit BY Auto
In Public Road

While walking in the broad highway
near the Experimental Farm with
companion Monday evening John Abel
a young man employed at the Model
Cafe, was run over by an automobile
and severely though not seriously in
iured. The pedestrians were travel
ing northward and met the car which
was going south. .,
According to the testimony given
at the hearing, held before Justice
Smith at the court house Wednesday,
the car which was driven by Ray
Eddy, salesman for the American
Tobacco Company, was steering an
uncertain course and going at consid--
cradle speed. The witnesses stated
that there were two WAGON trails at
the point where the accident occurred
and that they got well to the right
of the right hand trail. They say
that the car turned directly toward
them and one jumped to the right
and the other to the left, but Abel
could not avoid the car and was
struck and thrown violently to the
ground.
Abel caused the arrest of Eddy who
was bound over to the district court.

Played Last Series
At PlentyW0od

The Williston ball team finished
the season at Plentywood where they
met the Westby team in three exclt-
ing games. The boys from the state
line put up a fine article of ball put
the luck seemed to all break in Will
liston's favor and all three games
were annexed to the seasons string
of victories.
The first game was played Satur-
dav evening. and resulted II to >,
Kolls doing the pitching. Sunday af-
ternoon the double-header bill result
ed II to with Browning in the box,
and 8 to / with Siebert dishing up
the curves.
The boys say the trip was one OF
the pleasantest of the season. The
Plentywood team, mana cement and
fans extended them the most cour-
teous treatment and are first class
sports and good losers. The games
were free from the hostilities, coarse
roofing and personal abuse that some
crowds seem to delight in using to-
ward a visiting team, especially if the
visitors happen to be the victors 10
a dozen local fans accompanied the
team and corroborate the story OF
the players as to the splendid spirit
of craftsmanship and courtesy to Wis
itors displayed by our Montana sister,
Some of the fans and players re-
turned Sunday night and the others
Monday evening. All arrived safe
and sound.

CandO Too Strong
For the MinOt Team

Local baseball fans will be inter-
ested to learn the result of the series
between Cando and Minot on account
of the great interest in the Cando-
Willistoh series.
First game-Minot 5, Cando 2; sec
ond-Minot 0, Cando 6; third-Mi-
not 1, Cando 8; fourth-Minot !, Can
do 6: fifth-Minot 1, Cando /, thirteen
innings, called.
The memory of eleven straight
losses to Williston still rankles in Mi
not's breast. In writing up the first
game, in which they bcsted Candc, the
Optic Reporter had brief return OF
confidence, saying among other THINGS:
"The Cando bunch, reinforced by
Hinbury, the Williston third sacker,
opened up against the Magicians last
night. Local fans are wishing that it
might have been the whole Williston
team, for despite the many defeats
administered to them by the Oppor-
tunes the present outfit are aching to
take another crack at the lads from
the city west of here"
Now the Joke is that in this same
game, said Himbury made two of the
four hits secured by Cando and both
Of their runs, SO if it had been "the
whole Williston team" it is easy to
calculate where the Magicians would
have gotten off at. At the end of the
series the reporter commented on the
strength of the Cando team and just
could not refrain from handing us
another slam by remarking that they
looked better than the Opportunes.

Mckay and Hawley
Take Stable West

The Hawley & Mckay racing sta
BILE of Williston came in on the 500
line from Canada, where they have
been entered in many important
events.
The horses left over the Great
Northern today by express on their
way to Montpelier, Idaho, where they
will, race through the inter-mountain
circuit.
The stable consists of nine head of
thorou ghbreds, among which is the
good colt, Sir Archibald, the largest
money-winning PAGER in western Can
ada this season. Another member: the
little horse Axbybetta, lowered three
track records and holds the Canadian
record. On May "a he also paced the
fastest mile paced or trotted in Can
ada this season, his record for this
being 2.1O IA. T. A. Mckay, the
driver of the string, proved the big
best money-getting driver in the Do.
minion for 1916. r. F. Hawley and
T. A. Mckay are the owners of the
stable and their many friends
throughout the northwest will be
pleased to hear Of their splendid sue
cess and will wish them a continua-
ton of wins in the inter-mountaln
series. .-Minot Optic Reporter.

ENJOY PICNIC AT
GROMATKA GROVE
FIVE RURAL SUNDAY SCHOOLS
JOIN FOR PROGRAM ARRANG- Y
ED BY COUNTY Assn.

In spite of the threatening weather
there was a good-sized gathering at
Gromatka's grove last Sunday after
noon to enjoy the fellowship of pic
mic dinner in the grove and the pro-
gram prepared by the County Sunday
School Association for the afternoon.
Five different points were represent
ed, Spring Coulee, Garden Valley,
Missouri Ridge, East Fork and Paln.a-
er school house. A number Of people
autoed out from Williston and the
crowd probably numbered about one
hundred and fifty, all told.
After the dinner, which was most
generous and delicious repast, of
spring chicken and other good things,
the automobiles gathered in circle
about the organ, which had been loan
ed for the occasion by Mrs. S. M.
Clark, and everybody joined in a song
service. Mr.. Harriss, as president OF
the County Association, was in
charge of the program, and made. the
opening address. Other speakers
were Mr.. Goodwin of the Congrega-
tional Church, Miss Baldwin, in
charge of the Teacher Training work
for the county, and Miss Palmer, the
very efficient and energetic county
secretary. All emphasized the need
of doing things thoroughly, and Of
getting hold Of definite and practical
methods of increasing the usefulness
of the rural Sunday schools. The Of
fering taken for the county work was
a generous one and covered the entire
amount pledged by the five rural
points at the county convention in
Ray. ....,.. .....,t. ..-.....s .s.
The musical program was unusual
ly good and thoroughly enjoyed. The
numbers consisted of a quartet, a
duet, a solo by Mr.. Rhodes and a vio-
lin solo by Mr.. Onstad. The slight
shower did not seem to dampen any
body's enthusiasm, and the crowd dis
persed with the feeling Of having had
a really good time.

Engineer Meets
Death On Engine

William B. McGrath, an engineer
for the Great Northern. met a snd-
den death while driving his engine
near Poplar, Montana, at about 3 A.
NJ, western time, Tuesday.
Mr.. McGrath was called out for
the run at 2 A. NJ, and the news OF
his violent death was a heavy shock
to his wife and friends. The eScct
manner of death is not known, but the
fact that bridge had Just been pass.
ed and that the wound that caused
the death was on his head makes
plausible the theory that he was
leaning out Of his engine to oil GER
tain part that had been giving trouble
and that he was struck by some part
of the bridge. The fireman missed
the engineer and, after he had stop
ped the train. discovered Mr.. Nc
Grath's body at the side of the track.
The remains were brought to Will
liston and it is probable that services
will be held tomorrow but arrange
ments have not yet been completed.
The deceased, who resided at 7o5
1st Avenue West, leaves a wife and
two children. He belonged to the
Elks and the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers.

CREAMERY COMPANY
ON SOLID FOOTING
NEW CORPORATION TAKES OVER
THE OLD-REMAINS A FARM
ERS' INSTITUTION

At meeting of the old and new
directors Of the cooperative. cream
ery, held last Saturday, the business
and legal details Of taking over the
affairs If the old corporation by the
new corporation, under new charter
and a new name, were completed.
The Farmers Cooperative Cream
cry and Produce Company has be-
come the. Williston Cooperative
Creamery and Produce Company.
Certain legal exigencies which could
not be fully met by the managers OF
the former concern made 1t necessary,
according to the advice Of state OFF,
cials, that the company take out
new charter and assume new name.
This was the whole reason for substl-
tuting the word Williston for the
word Farmers, and the creamery is
no less a farmers institution than
it was before.
w. w. Keltner, president Of the
former company, states that the
creamery is in far better financial
condition than ever in its history.
About $4,000 worth of new stock
has been subscribed by farmers and
Williston business men. This gives
the company ample working capital
and will enable it to take up. Its out
standing indebtedness and buy the
creamery plant, and the ground it oc-
cupies, from E. A. Sharp.
President Keltner, Secretary Exc.
berg, and the board Of directors Of
the old company are entitled to great
credit, according to the opinion OF
those familiar with the history of the
creamery, for their tireless and faith
full efforts during the early struggles
of the company. The creamery has
been made an absolute success and the
foundation of all the difficulties lay
in lack of capital. The capital stock
of the new company is $4,000.
The officers of the newly incorpor-
ated company are John Bruegger,
president; B. J. Schoregge, treasurer;
"A. C. Lowheed, secretary. These
three, together with B. c. Keihl, Geo.
Howard, J. J. Larson and J. L. Smith,
constitute the board Of directors. Mr..
Keihl is the only one of the former
directors who would accept re-elec-
ton. The creamery is enjoying an
excellent patronage by the farmers
and finds ready market for its pro-
ducts at good prices.
