No Tickets Big Crowd in Town.
No Tickets.

The act providing for the
constitutional convention elec-
ton, to be held tomorrow, did
not provide for supplying tick
cts, and as a result there are
no tickets in circulation against
the proposition. Advocates Of
the measure in the large cities
have had tickets favOring the
convention sent out, but no
one has sent out any tickets
against the proposition, and it
has been suggested that those
who oppose the convention
proposition use the printed
ticket, erasing the word For"
and writing above it the word
Against" If this is not done
there will be no votes against
the measure, and it is pretty
generally conceded that a ma
jority of the voters in Weakley
county oppose the convention
proposition.
Since the above was put in
type opponents of the cow en-
ton have ordered and dist-ib-
uted tickets over the county.

Saturday morning a large
crowd assembled in Dresden,
as in all the other towns of the
county, to learn the result of
the drawing of recruits for
army service. Young men
from all the surrounding dis
tricts came to Dresden to as
certain if they were among the
lucky ones called to defend the
rights of their country. They
remained in town throughout
the day and daily papers were
eagerly sought and scanned by
them.

LEG IS BROKEN
IN TWO PLACES.

Mr.. Jack Turner, about SIS
years of age, years of age and
in the Twelfth district,
happened to an accident one
day last week in which his leg
was broken in two places in
an unusual manner.
Mr.. Turner met up with Mr..
D. A. McWherter in the road,
both driving in buggies. They
were old acquaintance and
had not seen one another for
several years. Both alighted
from their vehicles and were
standing between the buggies
talking when another gentle
man came along driving a
steer. Mr.. Turner's horse took
fright at the steer, backed the
buggy against Mr.. Turner,
throwing him down and break
ing his leg in two places.
1t was with considerable diff
ficulty that Mr.. Turner's horse
was quoted, and Mr.. McWher-
ter put the injured man in his
buggy and carried him home,
a distance Of three-quarters of
a mile. Mr.. McWherter then
went back and himself pulled
Turner's buggy back to his
home.

LOCAL SPORT DOPE

* III $saessmss;t 81 liz Morris eits
basket ball team pulled q stunt last
week that puts the team from that
place on the black list as far as COM
petition with local teams is concern
ed, for the remainder of this season.
and as long as teams In this city are
under the present management, In the
future. BY not living up to their
agreement to play the Cosmos team
at the high school gymnasium here,
last Friday evening, the Morris man
agement placed the locals in q bad
light. With all advertising out for
the game, the visiting team failed to
put in an appearance, nor was the
manager enough of a true sport to
even spend thirty cents for a tele-
phone call to notify the Willmar man.
agement of his teams sudden change
Of heart. That they expected to come
may be surmised from the notice ap-
pearing in the Morris Sun, stating
that fact. Somebody up there must
have suffered a sudden chill in the
pedal extremities.
On Friday evening of this week the
Benson team will play the Cosmos
team at the high school gym. The
visiting bunch defeated Willmar in
the game played at Benson last year
, and consequently the locals will en-
deavor to even the count. The game
will start at 7:45 sharp. The prices
of admission will be Is and Is cents.
On Saturday evening the high
school team will begin their hunt for
district honors, when they oppose the
strong Granite Falls quint. The team
will not be in the best of shape for
the opening game, and should they be
able to slip thru with a victory, it will
be great boost for them. It is hint
ed that Frank Sather will be unable
to take part in the fr0lic this week,
which will weaken the team defens-
lively. Granite. has played several
games so far this season and have yet
to taste defeat, except at the hands
of the alumni team. Saturdays game
will begin at eight o'clock.
|
Not in any previous season has
there been such a good chance for a
Ozark horse" to win the district has
ket ball honors, as there is this year
With Marshall and Alexandria elimi
mated, owing to geographical change
in the district, there is a great chance
for wheaton, Benson or Montev1deO
to slip over the winning punch. Nor
ton also seems to be in the field again
this year with winner. The Morris
team, which announced its determine
ton to capture the honors this year
suffered a &c to defeat at the hands
of Benson in the seasons opening
game.
There is a possibility of severa
"big games" on the schedule of the
Cosmos team this season. There !:
strong possibility that a couple o.
contests will be arranged with thu
Park Region College team, and the AS
tensions of Minneapolis will undouDt
