vidual character of his business, and
formed a partnership with Mr.. A. F.

MLV0T WINS SECOND
BY CLOSE SCORE

Minot took the second game of the
three game series with Valley City
last evening, when they defeated this
team by the score of 10 to 8. The re-
port received last evening said that
Walker of Sheyenne, N. D., was on the
mound for the locals, and did some
creditable work. The score would in
dictate that some rather loose play
ing was done on both sides, or the
willow was used to advantage against
both pitchers. However, it deVeloped
into a close game at that.
1t was announced this week, after
the game with Elbow Lake, that that
game officially ended the season, but
we are glad to be able to say that an
other game has been secured before
the season ends for next Monday. The
team which will meet defeat, or de-
feat Valley City, is Tower City, our
neighboring town down on the east.
According to reports they have just
been wiping the diamond clean with
their opponents. They are said to
have completely shut out the Winni-
peg Giants, the colored boys, and also
came out on top in a tournament
which was held to decide the cham
pionship of their district some time
ago. They are now looking for new
territory to conquer, and set their eyes
upon Valley City as possible victim.
They got us and will now have the
pleasure of attempting to beat US.
They are said to have won IL out of
Is games. We hope to be able to
make it IL out Of IA, and add another
scalp to Valley City's belt.
The special train to Hankinson next
Sunday is not certainty yet, altho
the proposition is being pushed along.
Six hundred dollars is the amount re-
quired to put the thing over. There
is some talk Of soliciting the business
houses to get enough to get the train.
and then take chances on getting
enough fans to pay the required 5000.
The amount remaining in the treasury
after the trip would then be given
back to the different contributors II
in other words dividend would be de-
clared.

but he saw that every merchant was
put to bed during the rush before mid
night and at $3.50 a. m. your chief was
on the job with watchful eye for any
stray one who might frisk one of our
delegates.
His careful attention to our ladies
was noticed by every one and it is the
wish of every member of our associa-

you call the members of your council

to him this little token of rememb-
rance on behalf of our association.
Valley City the Jem of the Shey-
