NEW SETTLERS IN VICINITY OF
MOTLEY

Motley Mercury: Last week will be
remembered for long time in the vi
cinity for the large number Of emigrant
cars which were unloaded here. Nine
teen cars came in here loaded with
stock and farm machinery and was
moved out to the farms around here.
This is record for this part Of the
country and they are still coming in
this week.
The addition Of this stock and these
new farmers is going to make a great
change in the country during the next
few years. One of the remarkable
things about it is that very few of the
farmers who were here are leaving the
country but are purchasing other plac-
es or moving to town.

WIN CLOSE E GAMES
LOCAL HIGH CUNTS DEFEAT ST.
CLOUD CUNTS, 15-14 AND ....
11-8

St. Cloud high schools prospects Of
coping the district basketball title
were shattered Friday evening. when
the Little Falls high quint defeat
ed them for the second time this sea-
son, on the local floor, by score of Is
to IA. The game was the hardest of the
forth it's best efforts, determined to
win.
Never before has such large crowd
witnessed a game at the. local high
school gymnasium. The players had
only about two-thirds the usual floor
space, the line of spectators circling
almost under the baskets. A special
train Of two coaches was run up here
for the benefit Of St. Cloud fans and
approximately 200 made the trip.
The game between the second teams
was also fast one. The locals also
copied this game by score Of II to
g.
St. Cloud started the scoring and dur
ing the first few minutes Of play led by
several points. Sprandel finally broke
loose and Gagged the wicker twice, one
Of the shots being very pretty one
nearly from the center of the floor.
Lipinski made one field basket in the
first half and he also made one free
throw out of three chances. Moe made
the only field basket St. Cloud got in
the first half. The half ended to 5
in favor of Little Falls.
In the second half the lead shifted
continually. Sprandel got one field bas-
ket, Levin got one and Lipinski made
two free throws out Of three chances.
Zierten made two baskets for st. Cloud
and Moe and Barrett got one each. Fin
ally, with but three minutes left to play
Sprandel put across the winning basket
for the locals.
The guarding of Lewis and Bastien
was splendid. Lewis held Siminski, the
fast St. Cloud forward and mainstay of
the team, scoreless. c. B. Roemer, ply
steal director at the state university,
refereed the game and his work was
satisfactory to all. The game was a
clean one from start to finish and all
were highly pleased with it.
The battle between the second teams
was snappy one and both teams
played good game. Niche, center for
the locals, and Moe for St. Cloud, each
made two field baskets. Ware made
two field baskets and Fortier one for
the locals and Ernst made two for St.
Cloud. Niche also made one point on
a free throw. st. Cloud led by score
of to in the first half.
