GOOD TIME PROMISED LEGION MEMBERS AT CLUB FRIDAY NIGHT
Wrestling and Boxing Bouts as Well as a Battle Royal
 Will Be Held

Plans are rapidly being com pleted for the smoker to be held by the American Legion at the Birmingham Athletic club Friday night, December l19. The entertainment com- mittee of the Legion is hard at work on the programme of ath- letic events, and ably assisted ] by Bill Streit of the club, is pre- pairing a very attractive list of events for the smoker. Mir streit announced last night that the B. A. c. was going to do it's best to make the affair complete suc- cess, and that. a splendid programme would be put on. Of course, there will be a battle royal. This will be the I comedy event on the programme. Then | there will be wrestling and boxing bouts, with some of the best talent the city affords appearing on the lists. ] Doug Beatty and his "pipemakers'' will come in from Acipco and put on some interesting wrestling and boxing bouts. Everyone knows the character of the bouts staged by Doug Beatty and the announcement that his ath- letes will appear on the programme should increase the interest in the smoker.
 MT. Streit said that there would be | about six bouts, with battle royal in addition. These events will begin about S:30 and will be over by 9:30 al l the latest.
 One of the prime purposes of the smoker is to hold a meeting to elect new commander of the post of Bir- mingham. Much consideration is be- ing given this question, as the legion members are desirous of putting the right man in the office.
 The entertainment committee of the legion and the Athletic club expects | every American Legion member to be present Friday night and good time as well as an interesting meeting i: assured those who attend.

ROUGH PLAYS BARRED

It was the roughness of football in that era and the great number of fatalities that have occurred that induced the rule makers to force radical changes. They barred the plays that caused so many injuries and changed the rules so as tJ permit forward passing and other open trickeries where the danger to the conn batants was reduced to an absolute min. imum.
 The fact that they have changed foot ball to a game that is comparatively safe for well-trained athletes is shown con- clusively in the statistics of fatalities ever since that time.

Was Old Love Affair.
According to Carson's confession,
made the night of June 80, following
his assault upon Mrs. Graham, the
attack grew out Of ancient love affair.
Carson, who had known Mrs. Graham
since girlhood, had only a week be-
fore testified for her husband in q
divorce action which resulted in a
verdict for the latter. When Carson
came to Bismarck to call upon Mrs.
Graham, she turned him away from
her door. Carson then purchased q

past Harry Barker, the woman's son
by a former marriage, and, discover

opened fire upon her. Three shots
had taken effect before Barker over
took his mothers assailant and felled
him. Badly beaten, Carson was taken
in custody by the police and i'm
prisoned. Mrs. Graham was removed
to a local hospital, where she still re-

her ultimate recovery that Judge

$3.50, 600, 900 to 81, 200, 900, 900. 1t is
believed probable this rate will be 3.5

last year. The revenue produced by
the somewhat smaller levy upon the
