popular men in Barnes county and was

majority. At the county seat he got in
with fast bunch and is said to have
lost sums in poker games and other
wise spent money freely.
About this time Barnes county voted
to issue $4,000 in bonds with which
to take up floating Indebtedness. This
sum was turned over to Treasurer
Pease. 1t was the morning after the
first village election in Sanborn, in
which A. NJ. took a prominent and hill.

0riska Debaters Claim
Championship Of County
Communicated

The Oriska debaters are the cham
plons of Barnes county. This may
seem startling to some who have been
awaiting the outcome of their debate
with Valley City, scheduled for Friday,
March %. However, Valley City for
feited and because Of this Oriska re.
mains unrivalled in the field.
The Oriska team is composed of Mat
thias Ward and Ultra Wharton. They
have made very creditable record for
young, inexperienced debaters. They
have had three debates, a preliminary
with their classmates, one with Getch-
ell Prairie and one with Noltimier.
They have given much time and ener-
gy to their work and have constructed
strong arguments for both the negative
and affirmative sides. They were to
have had the negative with Valley
City and were prepared to reinforce
their arguments with many current
statistics. The forfeiture on the part
of Valley City ends the county debates
for this year. The Oriska team de.
serves praise and credit for the spirit
1t has shown in this work.
