their giant height of 300 feet and the
spacious boulevards built upon their

vari-colored lights that play and glow
opon the fountains Of perfume and

Some boys playing along the river
bank Of the Householder flats, discov-
cred the body of a decomposed babe
which had been caught and held by the
limb of tree projecting out over the
river, early this week. The body had
evidently come down the river dur,
ing the high water, lodging in the
tree. The remains were badly de-
composed. The flesh from the arms
and legs had nearly all disappeared.

Minot Baseball Team Trims Drake


The Drake baseball team arrived in
Minot Saturday afternoon to play two
games, one Saturday evening and the
other Sunday afternoon. The local
boys proved too fast for their visit
ors and both games were very one

a score Of 1910 2, and Sundays game
IL to O.
Manager Twiford has booked the
Winnipeg Colored Giants for three
games, Saturday evening, Sunday af-
ternoon and Monday evening. The
Giants are considered one of the fast
est teams on the road. Minot will
have several new men in their lineup
and the games no doubt will be very
close. Shirley will likely pitch the
opening game.
