resort to conscription, and to seize from
their homes the youth Of America for

BALL TEAM HAS FUN AT PINE
RIVER.

The Little Falls baseball team jour-
neyed to Pine River Wednesday after
noon and gave the fans up there an ex-
hibition Of baseball such as they were
unaccustomed to seeing. When the game
ended the score stood to IN favor OF
Little Falls.
Pine River had heard great deal
about our pitcher, Woods, and they
wanted to see him in action, so they
asked for game. After our boys got
started playing they decided it was not
necessary to work very hard. 1t was
a walkaway from start to finish.
In one inning Pine River got two
hits and the fans went wild and start
ed yelling "Now we re going" Some
body from Little Falls replied lis that
so?O and Manager Stoll then whisper
ed something to Woods, with the result
that it was simply one, two, three and
out for the next three batters.

FAXED I A ! ! A HOLD 0 up
YOUNG LAD TIES HANDS, CUTS
CLOTHING; THEN COMES
HOME.

p With his hands tied, clothing torn
and his general appearance indicating
some sort of an encounter, William
Grove, l8 years old, came struggling
into his home a mile and half north
Of this city, Tuesday night and told
OF how he had been held up, gagged,
stabbed and robbed of his money that
evening in Little Falls. Investigation
by the police proved it fake, pure
and simple.
The story Of the holdup became cir
culated quite generally Wednesday but
at that time the local police depart
ment had not been advised of same by
the supposed victim. Finally yester-
day morning the young man, accom-
panied by his father, Chas. Grove, came
to town and reported the matter to
Chief Of Police Clark. The young man
said that he had been held up in back
OF Beattie's s confectionery and that he
walked home from there without report
ing the holdup to anyone.
This story did not sound good to the
chief and he quizzed the lad until he
finally confessed that it was his own
game.
It seems, according to the results Of
the investigation, that the young man
was to leave Little Falls by train Tues.
day night but that he did not want to
go and that he therefore pulled this
holdup stunt as an excuse. He admit
ted having secured strap from E. J.
Beattie, with which he tied his hands,
and of having mutilated his clothing so
as to make it appear that he had been
held up.

CAR NEAR ST. CLOUD.

Hogging the road and swinging their
car to the left to prevent their being
passed, a car occupied by people who
are said to be from Royalton few days
ago forced a car driven by Mrs. E. A.
Berg, accompanied by her guest, Miss
Malonda Koeppe Of Wisconsin, over
the <embankment on the west river road
near st. Cloud, and resulted in slight
injuries to these women as well as some
damage to their car.
Mrs. Berg and Miss Koeppe were
driving south and as they approached
this car, which was travelling very
slowly, they sought to pass several
times. On wide part of the road they
tried again to pass and as they neared
the front Of the car the driver turned
suddenly to the left and forced the Berg
car over the embankment. The car
turned over and the occupants were
pinned underneath. Mrs. Berg's broth
er-in-law and several others were fol
lowing in another car and they extricat-
ed Mrs. Berg and Miss Koeppe from
their perilous position.

RoAD-HAD LIQUOR.

E. J. Ralph, Of St. Paul, a salesman
for culvert concern, was badly injur

in an automobile accident on the Pierz
road, about five miles from Little Falls.
His head was badly bruised and one ear
was almost torn off. His little son, who
was with him in the car, escaped un-
injured.
No one witnessed the accident and
it is not known how it occurred. Peo
pie living nearby found the man under
the wrecked car in the ditch. Sheriff
Felix was notified and he went out af-
ter the man, bringing him to st. Ga

A bottle containing some liquor was
found on Mr.. Ralph's person and this
may explain the accident. He would

CAR HITS COW AND BOTH GO
= INTO DITCH.

a somewhat unusual automobile ac-
cident occurred on the Pierz road
Wednesday, according to G. W. Massy,
who witnessed the accident on his way
to Pierz. Another car was coming
west on the road and as it reahced the
foot Of the hill about three miles west
of this city a cow suddenly appeared in
the road directly ahead. The COW,
which had been driven out Of the brush
by dog, appeared so suddenly and the
car was going so fast that it was i'm
possible to avert the accident and the
car struck the COW squarely and both
went into the ditch. Fortunately the
car did not turn over and it was only
slightly damaged but the COW appear

injured. i,,'~

NATIONAL. GUARD CONDEMNS
CONSUMPTION BILLS.

Washington, August 13.-The capitol
has not yet recovered from the shock
of the terrific, and wholly unexpected,
attack upon the Chamberlain-Ka con-
scription bill made by the National
Guard Association of the United States
which is holding it's annual conference
in the Seventy-frst Regiment Armory
in New York City. Every member OF
the House and Senate Affairs Commit
tees received last week telegram, stat
ing definitely and explicitly that the
men who carried the day at Chateau
Thierry and the Argonne, are in no
mood to trife with permanent peace
time training and CONSUMPTION in Amer
lea. That telegram, which was only
partially carried by the press associa'
tions, deserves rehearsal in full:
: |sFour million veterans OF the great
war are sufficient nucleus for the or
ganization of any army which may be
required for some time to come.
"The American people will not toler-
ate the ruthless abandonment OF pol
icy which created a great civil army
which answered the call, never ainched
in the face of the severest fire, and
whose record of achievement stands as
a guarantee of it's ability to handle any
situation which may confront it:
stThe Chamberlain-Kahn bill abol-
ishes the citizen soldiery of the United
States which public sentiment demands
shall be the backbone Of its military
strength; and, at a. time when the Peo..
pie are struggling under the burden OF
excessive taxation, creates at, enormous
axnensa the machinery for the estab-
lishment in America Of that detestable
Prussian system which is abhorent to
the American people.
'sThe League Of Nations and the
chamberlain Kahn bill can never 60
hand in hand.
9 Either the League Of Nations is q
snare and, q delusion or there is no ne
cessity for the passage Of the Chamber
lain Kahn bill. & %
