room to perform SO great was the
crowd which packed the small hall
yesterday.
Central was the first to count
when Dasher shot a basket from the
15-fOot mark and little later
scored goal from the floor So
closely did the Mt. Pleasant lads
keep the Tech team covered that
they did not cage a basket from the
floor during the early period. The
Blue and White team played a great
floor game. as their passing and
dribbling was good and when the
forwards were loose they had no
trouble in shooting the basket.
The halfway mark was reached
with Central leading by points
The Mt. Pleasant lads had scored
baskets from the floor while
Dasher had registered ) free tosses-
GOsneIl had registered the only
points for Technical by , free

After the intermission Tech played
better basket ball, but the lead Cen
tral gained in the first half of the
game was too much for the Manual
Trainers to overcome. Tech passed
the ball better in the last stages of
the game and were coming with a
rush when the final whistle sounded.
Central WAS kept on the defense
most of the time during the final
period and only shot one basket from
the llOOr-this by Dasher-whiIe
Tech was registering four three by
LOehler and one by Gosnell, with
three free tOsscs by GosneIl. which
brought their total up to 70 points

Poor Wheat Crop Good Corn

Since the threshing machines
have commenced to work the past
week forboding of slim wheat
crop IN this section has been fully
justified. From ten bushels down
to four bushels an acre Of shrunken
grain is being turned out from the
machines, the quality Of the grain
is OF very poor character in all
cases. 1t is said that in the west
ern townships of the county the
wheat was not SO badly damaged,
because it did rot receive so much
wet weather at the critical time.
but as the harvesting is later in
that locality it will be known later
as to this. Oats and other small
grains were not so badly damaged
as the wheat and the crop is rea-
sonably good in places. This with
the promise Of a more than ordin-
ary good corn crop, and both hay.
grass and vegetables of all kinds in
good condton, the years crops are
not to be looked at with alarm, and
with the good prices ruling for
all farm products this part Of
the northwest is certainly not in
bad shape.

Relating To DINNER Lenses

Subsection ! of section 1858 Of
the 1919 code reads as follows:
: Every driver of an electrically
lighted motor vehicle shall equip
such vehicle with headlight lenses
or DINNERS which ditfuse the light
so as not to permit glare from
such headlight to be thrown into
the eyes Of persons approaching
such motor vehicle or being ap-
preached by it,
Whereas, violation Of the pro-
visions Of this subsection is grave
public danger, and owing to the
fact that many serious and in some
cases fatal accidents have resulted
from such violations. it is my or
der that you enforce the law as re-
CARDS the provisions Of this sub-sec-
tion to the utmost, and effect or
cause the arrest and prosecution OF
all persons violating.
Dated at Pierre. this 7th day OF

Abstract Business Changes Hands.

The business of the Consolidated
Abstract Company, which has been
in the hands of Mr.. O. J. Coon for
the past five or six years. has been
purchased by Mr.. L. 0. Yonker.
For the present the business will
remain at the rooms in the court
house as heretofore. The abstract
business Of the company is steadily
increasing, and Mr.. Yonker expects
soon to add another expert abb
stracter to the force in the Office,
so that patrons of the Office will at
all times receive prompt and eff
cient service. Mr.. Yonker is one Of
the young men who spent the early
years Of his life in Grant county,
but for a number of years has been
in North Dakota engaged in busi-
ness. We welcome him among the
business men Of Milbank.

Charged with Auto Stealing AS.
SaultS Sheriff.-.BrcakS Jail.

The authorities here received
word couple Of weeks ago that
large Ecar had been stolen from
Fred Harrington. at Waubay, and
last week a Roberts county man
while passing through town re-
marked to Policeman Sutcliffe that
a certain young man who formerly
lived here must have been doing
we'll financially as he was now driv-
ing a fine large Elcar, at Morton,
MINI. With this information pa
pers were placed in the hands Of
Sheriff Finley. who went to Morton
last week, and returned Friday
with Roy Ceaser.
On the return trip the sheriff had
the young man hand-cuffed by his
side, but the latter complained that
the wristlets were too tight and
were hurting his hands, and the
sheriff in the goodness of his heart
loosened the cuffs. 1t was shortly
after this and when the party had
reached quiet spot on the road
that the sheriff felt the loosened
handcuff come down on his head
with all the force that Ceasar could
put in the blow. Tom has a good
covering over his inside works, and
while the blow surprised him it was
not sufficient to stun him and he
soon had Ceasar resting quietly
again. The covering of the auto
being up Ceasar was unable to put
power in his blow sufficient to make
it effective for what he wanted, but
it was enough to raise good sized
knob on the sheriff's Uranium.
Another bad feature about the
affair is that the young man Caesar
is out on parole from a former con-
viction of larceny in the circuit
court. and this new difficulty in
which he finds himself will not be
likely to be treated leniently.
On Monday the sheriff took his
prisoner to Webster before Judge
Anderson and had parole rescinded,
and brought him to Jail. locking
him in the cell as usual, with the
intention of taxing him to the pen
itentiary at Sioux Falls next day.
On going to the Jail in the morning
however he discovered his bird had
flown. The lock on the cell door
had been sawed off with a steel saw
and the prisoner had made his es-
cape from the roof in the same
manner as the three foaters who
got away few weeks ago. The
sheriff is convinced that the prison
er had outside help in his escape.

OrtOnville Man Suicides.

The following from the Orton-
vile Journal relates TO the father
Of Ed Lammel. the young man who
had a saloon in this city a few
years ago in the wet period:
Ed Lammel, who was confined in
the city Jail in this city last Thurs
day evening after having fired four
shots, one Of which seriously wound
ed Officer Hurley's right hand while
the officer was attempting to place
him under arrest for abusing his
family, committed suicide by hang.
ing himself in the corridor of the
Lac Qui Parle county Jail sometime
during last Saturday night.
The assault upon Officer Hurley
and his assistant, D. P. White. oc-
Cured within the city limits of Or
tonville, but across the county line
in Lac Qui Parle, and as result it
was necessary that the hearing and
trial for the crime committed be
held at Madison, the county seat.
Therefore the county attorney and
sheriff came up from Madison last
Friday evening and took the prison
er to Madison for confinement in
the county Jail.
On Sunday morning when the
jailor entered, Lammel was appar.
emily standing near the door. The
jaiIor spoke but Lammel failed to
answer. The jailor looked up at
the prisoner again and discovered
that something was wrong. Upon
feeling of the body it was found to
be colo and stiff. Investigation
showed that the prisoner had hang
ed himself, using an electric wire
attached to a light fixture hung
from the cetling Of the corridor.
Funeral services were held from
the Catholic church in Big Stone
City Tuesday morning and the re-
mains were laid at rest in the Cath
olic cemetery at Big Stone.
The deceased was about sixty sew
en- years Of age and is one Of the |
old time residents of this commun-
ity.
