LOCALS DROP FIRST GAME
TO WILLOW CITY TEAM

It was not really ball game.
Still it was advertised as such, and
a few of the faithful ones meandered
out to the fair grounds park Last
might and saw the execution.
And it was some execution, as the
score of 10 to 2 will bear mute testi-
mony of.
The locals were in trouble from the
very start. Two walks and hit net
ted the visitors tally in the first
frame. In the fourth inning Brown
yielded his position on the firing line
to Gunner Minkle, but they all look
ed alike to the Willow Wielders, who
seemed to lay back and hit the ball
as if they were driving fence posts
whenever they felt like it. Twelve
hits were recorded by the visitors,
but this tells only part Of the greu-
some tale, as nearly every hit was
for extra bases. All the locals were
able to garner was four safe ones,
and these were distributed in that
many innings.
The Willow City pitcher retired an
even dozen by the strike-out route
while only three are credited to the 10
cal twirlers.
The lack Of practice and team work
on the part Of Bottineau was evidenc-
ed throughout the entire seven IN
ming contest. There was lack OF pep
and spirit which is necessary to win
Cannes. coupled with an inability to
hit the ball when hits meant runs.
!; Following is the score by innings:

OPEN LETTER TO SANDSTROM
Senator L. P. Sandstrom,
Bottineau, N. Oak.

Senator l.. P. Sandstrom,
Bottineau, N. Oak.
Dear Senator:-
If Prof. Worst's statement of a
fifty five million dollar loss each year
to the grain growers or North Dako-
ia is correct, your idea of experiment
ing with a small terminal elevator,
first, to find out whether or not it
would pay, sbecause it would be SAT-
er" lin case of failure the state would
not lose so much) your idea looks like
making it safer for the grain buyers
of Duluth and Minneapolis and the
continued loss to US Of that $55,O0O,-
900 each year. You were sent to
Bismarck to carry out the wishes OF
the people, their decision regarding
this elevator has twice been regis
tered at the polls. Did you and your
twenty odd colleagues in the Senate
feel that you were competent to re-
verse that decision of the people at
the polls?
Did your constituents send servants
to Bismarck or did they send mast
ers? You intimated recently from
the platform that your conscience
would not allow you to do what the
people wished because you felt it was
not right. Now if that is true it
seems queer to US that your con-
science did not suggest to you your
resignation, in order that some one
else might take your position who
would be willing to do as the votres
wished.
At Willow City recently you asked
questions Of the audience and got re
plies, but Through the chairman)
refused to answer a question which,
to nv mind is manifestly unfair.
There is in the Constitution some
thing about government getting its
just powers from the consent OF the
governed. BY the action OF few
willful senator's, Of which you were
one, we would almost be led to believe
that, like the old world autocracy, you
believe in the God given right OF the
few to rule the many, regardless OF
the wishes Of the many. One Of their
number, the ex-king Of Greece, recent
" said he was not responsible in any
way whatever to the people, but TO
God alone. You and your friends IN
the senate are apparently headed
the same way that is to say, you de-
cided last winter to suit yourselves
and seemed to prefer voting Tor the
interests and against the wishes OF
the majority Of your constituents.
What the people, evidently want
|ed from you in the senate was re-
suits, not explanations q excuses af-

NEW" WEAPONS REALLY OLD
Asphyxiating Bomb and lncsndiary
Shell outgrowth Of Missiles EN-.
ployed Long Ago by Chinese.

Many Of the new" weapons pro.
duced by the world war are really very
old. Thus the asphyxiating bomb Is
an outgrowth of missile employed
long ago by the Chinese. Instead Of
deadly chemicals, 1t contained some
substance that emitted a nauseous
odor, accompanied by sitting smoke.
Later this device appeared In Europe
and was known by the inelegant but
expressive name Of 'stink-pot."
Another Chinese war method paved
the way for incendiary shells. They
invented rocket, later adopted and
widely used by the Saracens, which
fired q kind Of ball having claws or
hooks that would catch hold to the
side Of building and set fire to It.
These balls were made Of petroleum
and nlter, which became famous in
the later ages as Greek Ore.
The German device Of throwing pe.
troll upon an enemy by means Of q
pump was used long ago. when an at
tacking ship often spouted flames at
the object Of Its assault. This plan
was reserved for close quarters, and
frequently resulted In the destruction
Of the vessel 30 attacked.

But now from the hall at his back

through the door. he waved them back
and out into the hall again.

Ing to make himself heard, stepped In

When God Probes,

would hurt us stay with us. So, be.
cause Of this love. he himself Is will
Ing to hurt us In order to save US from
the greater hurt. Probing is done In
order to get rid Of something that
would injure. And so. as Prebendary
Webster has said: "Do not be afraid
Of Gods probing. He never wounds
except to heal. He never humbles ex-
cept to exalt. Do let God deal with
you; do not be afraid of his probing"
Most Of Us have been afraid Of 1t; we
may be dreadlng 1t Just now. We shall
not fear II we remember what kind Of
love Is back Of 1t: that all-sacriflcing
love that died for us on the cross. So
we can safely, gladly let ourselves 20

nail-pierced hands to do with Us what

Us his love as we may never yet have

what was In his mind when Alaire
raised her hand and In q strained
whisper exclaimed:
..'Sh-h! Listenr
The heavy door Of the hacienda
creaked. a quick tread sounded on the
tiles, the door to the living room was
flung open. and Longorio entered. He
was hot and dusty from his ride. but
with lovers impetuosity he had made
straight for this lighted room.
For the briefest instant he balanced
himself just inside the portal, and the
smile remained fixed upon bis lips.
Then his eyes became ringed with
white and he made a swift, catlike
movement Of retreat. Plainly this was
the supremest surprise Of his lifetime,
and he seemed to doubt his senses. But
he recovered quickly. Thrusting his
head forward. he demanded:
"What Is thisf You-and your he
stared from Dave to the priest, then
back again.
They all spoke at once, but he heard
only Alaire's words:
"He came to find me-"
Pancho appeared In the doorway be-
hind Longorio. saying, II heard you
ride up, sir, so I ran to tell you about
this fellow"
But the general cut him short. "Call
your men. quick" he cried In a voice
that sent the soldier leaping back into
the night.
Alaire was clinging to Dave. merely
clutching him the tighter when he tried
to unclasp her hold. Her movement
into the shelter Of his rivals arms In
furiated Longorio, who uttered an ex-
clamation and fumbled uncertainty
with his holster. But his fingers were
clumsy. He could not take his eyes
from the pair, and he seemed upon the
point Of rushing forward to tear them
apart.
Don't touch her! Don't" he be-
gan, cursing In a high-pitched voice.
God! What q reckoning!" Then he
stamped his feet, he wrung his hands,
he called shrilly at the top of his voice /:
Lieutenant! Ho, Pancho! You fel-
lows! Quickly" Under the stress of
his excitement the feminine side of his
character betrayed itself.
Alaire felt her newly made husband
gather himself for a spriAg: he was
muttering to her to release him; he
was trying to push her aside, but she
held fast with the strength Of despera-
tion.
"You can't harm u.s." she declared,
flinging her words deflantly at the
Mexican. "You dare not. You are too
late. Father O'Malley has just mar.
ried u.s."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.--The par
