HERE AGAIN SUNDAY
ireup About the Same as Last SUM-
day, Except That Ryan
Will Twiri.

Base ball fans are looking forward
"a another good ball game here Sund-
day when the Orange team comes
hack for another try at the locals
organizatiOn 1t will be remembered
that Welsh played their second game
this season with Orage defeating them
nv score of 3 to When the Welsh
team went to Orange they suffered
their first defeat. Both teams have
since been strengthened, so good
game can be loOkd for.
Thre is an inclination on the part
Of some local fans to knock the
home team just because they have
lost a few games. This spirit is all
wrong. The team has plenty of talent
and lots of courage, but in order to
eome to the front must have the
whole-hearted support Of every fan.
Tell them you are with them and show
1.-THE big games Of the season are
vet to be played and Welsh's position
in the amateur base ball realm must
be sustained
The game Sunday will be called at
800 o'clock sharp in order to allow
the visiting team to return to Orange
on No. T.

DOC WRECKED PLANT
Of WELSH CANAL CO.

An error in judgement on the part
of large Collie dog, wiseacre of the
canine tribe, Monday night caused a
lot of damage at the main plant Of the
Welsh Canal Company on Bayou
Chienne.
The dog, which has been a regular
habitant at the plant the past three
years undertook a jump through the
fly wheel on the big Corliss engine, be.
came entangled in the cable drive
and caused a partial wrecking of the
plant.
The cable was broken in several
places, the idler and idler bracket was
torn down.
Superintendent NJ. L. Prentice states
that fortunately the mass of wreckage
was thrown to the back end of the
plant instead of into the engine, other
wise more serious damage might have
resulted. AS it was, new cable had
to be secured, and loss Of several
days pumping resulted.
The dog was torn to bits.

Team Visitors Showed
Good Form.

The game last Sunday at Sports

element. The visiting team from
Oberlin played in their usual form,
playing a good strictly amateur game,
while the Welsh players treated them
with the courtesy of an opportunity
to make a few scores. No great ex-
element except with Oberlin's manag-
er, who undertook to inject the official
rule book into the game. He's still

NJ. Elsted is married. and his fam
lily will also move up here. Both
of the new owners are experienced
pool hall men, and know how to
cater to the wants Of the public in
such a way as to hold all the pa

ones. A. o. Elsted conducted a
pool hall at Deering until last
spring when he rented the place
out, and has since been working at
other employment.
Mr.. Kaser has no definite plans
for the future. but intends to take
trip south and west to look up a
new location. He has been in the
pool hall business in Bowbells for
many years, and made bigger sue
cess of this vocation than did any
one else here. He has the friend
ship of everyone in the community,
he knows the wants of the people
here, and always provided it. His
place was always the most popular
in the city to spend the evenings.

soon able. to join the union. I'm
less our schools take up this work
printers will soon become as scarce
as diamond cutters. There is. no

HARVEST | IA 4 { v WORRIES
d LEAD TO SUICIDE

" Grafton, N. D., Aug. 19.-Lewis
Wik, a prominent and well-to-do
farmer living six miles west of Graf
ston,, ended his life Thursday, by
taking poison. The act is sup
posed to be due to dependency ex-
cited by harvest troubles. e. j..
EARLY in the forenoon of Thurs
|Gday* Mr.. Wiik's binder broke down
after having given him trouble all
the morning. AS the grain was
very ripe and harvest operations
pressing. Wiik attempted to start
his car to go to town for REPAIRS.
The Car refused to run and he
worked himself into a passion in
trying to start it. .'
s4SWiik then took a horse and buggy
to, go to town, telling his wife that
| she might have to run the binder
herself and finish the cutting. He
reached Park River, where he
!! bplght the necessary repairs end
also secured a quantity of poison
at,u drug store. Apparently he
did not take the poison until with
linSe mile of his home:
tSssSsHe was found in his buggy in a
Idying condition and never regained
licoHsciousness. He was 20 years
old and had a wife and four chill
dren. . = F&

RULING EXPECTED
| TO CHECK DIVORCES

Z, Fargo, N. D., Aug 19.-Testi-
mony in default divorce actions must
be taken and Transcribed and filed
in the office Of the clerk of the
court at the expense of the produc-
ing party, under a rule of procedure
adopted by the state supreme court
notice of which was received in
Fargo this morning.
Heretofore the testimony was
taken in shorthand. but never tran
scribed. 1t is believed that the
new ruling will have a tendency to
reduce the number of default di-
vorce ACTIONS. for if there is any
fraud or collusion used in an effort
to get a divorce it can be brought
to light in the future by easy ref
erence to the record in the case.
Judge A. T. Cole of the Cass
county district court, in comment
ing on the new ruling this morn
ing said, ''it will check the divorce
business"
