GLENDALE WINS FIRST. GAME
Locals Get Even by Trimming Verona
to the Queens Taste

The Oakes base ball team motored
over to Glendale Saturday afternoon
to settle the dispute left over as re-
suit of the unfinished game few
days previous, and with the lineup it
seemed they had a good chance of
winning. The jinx was on the job,
however, and after playing a couple
of air tight innings, a few misplays
turned the tide of battle against them
and when the smoke cleared away the
boys were beaten to 0. 1t was an
interesting game, however, from be-
ginning to end, and the result might
easily have been different. Oakes had
men on bases almost every inning, and
a hit would have meant one or two
scores several times. The Glendale
pitcher frightened in the pinches and
with good support pulled out win
ner. The summary:

OAKES WILL
CELEBRATE
American Legion, Boosters Band and
Base Ball Club Will Have
Charge of Festivities
SATURDAY, JULY 3, is THE DAY
Ball Games, Horse Races, Street Con-
tests, Merry-go-Round, Etc.

At the meeting and lunch of the
Commercial club Tuesday noon it was
decided that Oakes should hold an
other celebration this year. While the
club will act as sponsor, the arrange
ments are to be left in the hands of
the American Legion, Boosters Band
and base ball club. With these four
organizations back of the project, we
should have one of the biggest times
ever turned loose in this vicinity.
People like to come to Qakes to Gel
ebrate. This much was proved by the
enormous crowd which assembled here
last year.
No cash donations will be asked of
the merchants this year, but prizes
may be offered in the form Of mer-
chandise for winning contestants in
the street sports.
While definite arrangements have
not as yet been made, the celebration
will be placed in the hands of joint
committee, men who know what the
people want and are willing to spend
a little money in order to get it.
Last year a great deal of money
was spent on the aeroplane and fire.
works. While an aeroplane fight is
nice attraction, its cost is all out
proportion to the benefits derived, and
fireworks is just so much money fed
to the birds. We may have a few
skyrockets, etc., but no elaborate fire.
works will be put on this year.
With street concessions, ball games
horse races, and other entertainments
of a like nature, the day will be filled
with interesting events and good
time is assured everybody who comes
Hitch up the Ford and bring the
whole family. Whenever we celebrate
we want you all here.

BIG TIME AT
ENCAMPMENT
Dickey and Sargent County Boys are
Enjoying a Young Circus all
This Week
TRIP TO BALDWIN FARM TODAY
Something Going On Every Hour Of
ESery Day

The first annual Dickey-Sargent
County Boys encampment which is
being held at Donation park all this
week, will soon be thing of the past,
but when the young fellows get home
and tell about the wonderful time they
have had, their parents will know that
the time spent was not wasted.
Some difficulty was experienced in
getting tents for the occasion, as at
the last moment the Aberdeen firm
fell down on it's contract. After con-
siderable skirmishing around, how
ever, enough were found to insure
shelter for the whole crowd. 1t was
thought that about 100 young fellows
would take advantage of this oppor-
tunity, but this was exceeded as early
as Monday night, when it was found
that la had enrolled.
All the meals are taken right on the
grounds, army style. this important
department being in charge Of John
Napravnick, an experienced hand at
the business.
County Agents Greenwood of Sar-
gent and Kuenning of Dickey are in
charge, ably assisted by Messrs. Guy
and Mueller Of Oakes, and we don't
know who is having the most fun, the
boys or the growa-ups.
Every morning the boys go through
setting up exercises, eat their break
fast and are ready for the day. Mon
day they were addressed on "Organ-
ization and General Instructions" by
E. S. Leavenworth, and in the even
ing Mayor Knox gave short talk.
Tuesday E. A. Greenwood lectured
on "Dairying," and accompanied the
boys to the creamery, where they had
a chance to peek into the mysteries of
butter, making.
In the afternoon the program con-
sisted Of instruction in rope splicing,
sanitation and hygiene, athletics, etc.,
after which they were drilled by Mr..
Leavenworth. The heavy rain storm
made it impossible to go swimming.
The program for Wednesday was
upset by the storm. The boys We're
to be taken to the Baldwin farm for
instruction in stock Judging, veterin-
ary problems, etc., and this trip will
be made today.
Friday the Sargent county nurse is
expected to come and give talk on
first aid to the injured.
Saturday there will be ball game
and track meet, after which the boys
will break camp and leave for their
various homes.
The encampment has been an un-
qualified success, and it is more than
likely that 500 boys will be here next
year.
Those in charge are to be highly
commended for the interest they are
showing in the rising generation, and
their work will be productive Of much
good.

TRAIN BLOWN

Many Passengers Carried from Wreck
to Hospital in an Unconscious
Condition
ONE VICTIM EXPECTED TO DIE
Lamp in Mail Car Sets Fire to Over
Turned Coaches

Twenty-six persons were injured,
several Of them seriously, when North
ern Pacific train No. Ill, due to ar
rive in Oakes at about $3.50 p. m., was
blown into the ditch and burned, one
half mile north of Everdell, fifteen
miles from Breckenridge, yesterday
afternoon. The coaches caught fire
and burned, but all of the 100 passen-
gers were rescued by members of the
crew, who were assisted by the first
passengers to escape.
The storm struck few minutes be-
fore 500 o'clock. AS the train was
nearing Everdell heavy rain began
to fall, accompanied by high wind.
Suddenly it grew as dark as night and
the engineer stopped the train, fearing
he might run into washout.
The train had no more than come
to stop when the terrific wind hurl-
ed the four passenger coaches and
mail car into the ditch A lamp set
fire to the mail car, and it was soon
communicated to the coaches, which
were destroyed. The mail is also
total loss.
AS soon as the train was derailed,
members Of the crew and those of the
passengers not overcome by their in
juries turned their attention to res
cuing the others from the wreck. AS
daylight began to return, the engin-
eer ran the locomotive into Brecken-
ridge and summoned help. A rescue
train with six doctors on board soon
arrived at the scene and the injured
were taken to a Breckenridge hospi-
tai. An unidentified young woman,
who has not regained consciousness
since the accident, is suffering from
internal injuries and it is feared she
will die. A list of the injured is
printed below, several of them being
we'll known to Oakes people:

TO DRIVE WILSON FROM POWER
Lodge, in Keynote Address, Says this
Must Be Done

Senator Lodge says he has no fear
of the country's verdict regarding con-
gress' stand on the league of nations.
In his keynote address, delivered at
Chicago before the republican nation
al convention, the senator said that
the country must drive President Will
son and his dynasty from power and
defeat the league of nations as he de-
sires it.
Senator Lodge, who is temporary
chairman of the convention, in de-
Tending the senate's opposition to the
treaty of peace as high and patriot
ic duty, flung down this gauntlet:
"We make the issue. We ask ap-
probation for what we have done. The
people will now tell us what they think
of Mr.. Wilson'S league and the sac
rihce of America"
While emphasizing the point that
the 1920 presidential campaign must
be waged around the league, and de-
voting much of his time to arraign-
ment of the Wilson administration
the senator found time to lay before
the delegates the stand of the repub-
lican party on other problems facing
the country.
Chief among these was Mexico. He
urged that this country let the Mexi.
cans choose as their president some
strong and upright man who is friend.

Sunday the boys went up to Verona
to cross bats with the aggregation at
that place, and the slaughter was
mighty sweet after the Glendale con-
test. Oakes secured two runs right
at the start through Verona errors,
but after that the welkin rang with
the sound of Oakes bats connecting
with the horsehide sphere. The ball
was knocked to all parts of the field
and the final count was IL to 1. We
don't know just why they allowed
Verona that lone score, because there
was no need of it. Christensen pitched
a good game and received nice sup
