Tigers Get Young Star.

DETROIT, Sept 17.-Detroit lahs
are wondering whether Leo Dresser,
the first baseman purchased from the
st. Paul club, will be able to fiji the
shoes of George Burns. who has been
drafted for the National army. Dres-
sen will be watched closely, for his as
scciation record is Snightiny inter-
esting one. The youngster has been
used as lead-off man-an unusual
position for first baseman. Recen.
averages showed he was hitting
around .300 had stolen fifty bases, and
scored more than ninety runs. In
1916 when he hit only .242 he stole
32 sacks. and this leads Manager Je.,-
nings to hope he may have picked up
another speed merchant to use with
Bush and, Cobb. II is possible that a
few pointers from C>Jb may make
Dresser a major league star on the
bases and add powerful punch to
the Tigers heavy attack.

LAD is
KILLED BY HORSE

One of the most shocking accidents
which has happened in this commun-
ity in long time occurred Monday
morning about 1880 o'clock when Del
bert Smith, the fourteen-year-old son
of A. L. Smith, was dragged by a
horse belonging to w. E. Knox and in
Jured to such an extent that he did
not regain consciousness before death
claimed him early Wednesday morn
ing.
The young lad had been working for
Mr.. Knox the greater part of the fall
and Monday morning he had taken
one of the teams down to the water
tank at the railroad station to water.
When returning to the barn he tried
to get on the back of one of the hors-
es and either because he was not tall
enough he failed and the horse becom-
ing frightened started to run, drag
ging him across the street just south
of the Antler Motor Inn, over a bunch
of old iron and stones in the street
south of the Motor Inn and then up
into the yard at the barn where the
boys feet became untangled and he
was freed.-Antler American.

you to buy Liberty bonds, be econom-

needs you; but you need it far more.

FIGHT ON
VACCINATION
CASE COMMENCED IN BOTTI-
NEAU. PROTESTING OVER
VACCINATION ORDER.

A case was started in district court
in Bottineau this week by DR.. M. J.
Farnand against the Bottineau school
board, ordering the board to show
cause why his children should be re-
fused admittance to the public schools,
even though not vaccinated, as or
Idered by the state board of health.
The case was heard before Judge
Burr the first Of the week, but was
dismissed, as defendants claimed that
they had not refused the children ad-
mission to the schools. On account
of this technicality the case was start
ed anew and will be heard on it's mer-
it's in a few days.
Awaiting the outcome of the case,
the children are now permitted to at
tend school.
While DIR. Farnand appears as the
plaintiff in the case, he is supported
by several others who likewise pro-
tested against the vaccination order
and refused to have their children vac
(cinated.
