Sunday, when New England toppled
Amidon by a 11-8 score. The game
was played at Amidon, and former
Dickinson athletes in the lineup were
Northrup, Dougherty, Kronschnahei,
Pippin and q. Roberts. Battle was
hard fought from kickoff to the final
gong. Free hitting and numerous bob
bles marked the fuss. -Four home
run crashes were delivered, two BY
each team. ss
Kronschnabel starred with the stick,
slapping the apple for home run
and a pair of doubles. Northrup also
busted a four-base drive. Northrup

molly worked for Amidon. Pippin was

Richards Buys 100
EtDes;; Great Price
Change Is Evident

W: L. Richards this week purchased
100 head of 2 and 3-year-old ewes
Of Lewis F. Crawford to be delivered
as soon as sheared, Mr.. Crawford re-
tanning the wool clip. Price paid, f.
o. b. Sentinel Butte, was SIP head,
probably the highest price ever paid
for stock sheep in this part of the
country.
Mr.. Richards will place half the
sheep on his Diamond c ranch, and
the other half on his Crooked Creek
ranch. He has purchased them for
purpose of cleaning up the weeds in
some Of his pastures, and the invest
ment should prove profitable one, in
view Of present prices for wool, about
so cents a pound. ~.- - H.
Mr.. Crawford will easily take So a
head off the backs of the, ewes before
he delivers them, this making him a
price Of SIS each. Many Of our
readers can recall the time when the
sheep growers sold their wool in Dick-
inson at 10 cents a pound, and stock
sheep were plentiful in the fall at
$1.50 to 81 head. .. -..

TOBIAS WILL FIGHT: i.
PINCHED FOR SPEED

Louis Tobias, Dickinson cigar MAX
er, arrested Sunday on a charge Of
exceeding the speed limit for motor
cars, is resisting efforts Of city Off
cials to assess fine for the alleged
otfense. Case came up for hearing
Thursday morning in police court Of
Magistrate Sterland. A change Of
venue was asked, and, on advice Of
City Attorney Blanchard, was granted.
Change was taken to justice court Of
A. P. Folsom, who refused to hear
the case. Then transfer was taken
to court of Justice Jacob Mack, and
hearing will probably be Saturday
morning.
Tobias was taken in custody Sun-
day, by Ray Graf, motorcycle officer,
on the charge of speeding. 1t is de-
clared that he was travelling more
than the Is miles allowed between
crossings. City officials declare they
will fight the case to the limit, and
that Tobias and other alleged speed
ers will be prosecuted vigorously, to
stop Dickinson streets being used as;
speedways.
Three others arrested for speeding
paid fines in police court this week.
All were taken Sunday. Louis PEI
tricka and Phil II Usher were assessed
S. each, and "John Doe" Q New Eng
land man, paid SO.
Justice Folsom declared, in connec-t
ipn with his refusal to try the Tobias
case, that it; had previously been, de-
cided that change Of venue from police
court for similar cause could not be
taken, and that he did not consider it
proper for the action, to be- brought
before him.

Leopard Claus Tot
Janet Hunter in Marrow Escape;
Pushed Against Cage of
Savage Circus Animal.


Janet Hunter, 6-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Hunter, residing
on Marguerite boulevard, escaped seri
GUS injury by hairs breadth Sunday
at the circus grounds. With number
of other children she was watching
the leopards in one of the cages,
when curiosity of some of the tots
was aroused to such extent that they
crowded against the cage. Janet was
pushed nearly up to the bars, and
suddenly the big cat flashed his paw
through the grating, grazing her
face, and inficting a scratch across
her face above one. eye. She was
more frightened than injured, and was
taken to her home, and given medical
attention. Had she been an inch or
two closer, result might have been
much more serious or even fatal. An
employe of the circus was cleaning a
cage nearby, but there were SO many
children around him that he was un-
able to keep them at safe distance.

Dickinson people turned out en-
masse Sunday afternoon to welcome
their soldier boys of Company K, ar
irving here for a one-day furlough,
en- route from Fort Missoula, Mont,
to Fort Lincoln, near Bismarck, where
they will be stationed for a time.
Long before No. 2 pulled in at the
station the streets were packed with
an assemblage which occupied every
available space for a block along the
tracks, crowded Willard street, and
massed in front of the station. Autos
were parked for a distance of more
than two blocks on both sides of Viii
lard street.
When No. 2 rolled in, more than 2n
hour late, the circus band, procured
for the OCCASION. played martial airs
and there was a Wild burst Of enthu-
siasm from the great crowd. Rela-
tives and townspeople crowded to the
fore to give welcome to the lads, and
then the K boys lined up in front of
the station, and marched to the ar
mory, where equipment was left.
Contingent Numbers 4S.
Capt. C. N. Barker, Lieutenant AL
bert Behonek and 46 enlisted men
comprised the contingent which de-
trained here. Six members of the
company-Hollenbeck, Brewer, Ed

the baggage. 9-,' +.
Members of the company who re-
side here scattered to their respective
homes to spend their brief furlough
with relatives, and arrangements were
made whereby other members were
entertained in other homes of the city.
Monday morning dance was given
at the armory in honor of the lads,
at which a fve-piece orchestra dis
pensed music. The musicians, glad to
do their bit, donated their services,
and the ball was a big success, most
of the boys attending:
Farewell by Large Crowd.
A crowd which was almost equal in
size to the one of Sunday was assem-
bled at the station Monday afternoon,
when the company left on No. 2 for
its new quarters. While this farewell
carried with it touch of sadness, due
to the fact that it may be many
months, and even a number Of years,
before the boys will again see Dick

overwhelmed this sentiment. as That
Dickinson has just reason Ito feel
proud of it's soldiers is attested by
