"Grandma" Sinclair passed away

1886, and passed to the beautiful gold
en- shores Sept. 25, 1921, at the age
of So years, months and q days
The funeral services were conducted
at ten o'clock Thursday, and burial
was in the Dent cemetery. She leaves
one son, F. NJ, of Eminence, Mo-, and
number Of grand children and few
great-grand children.
Mrs. G. j. Goeltz ad sons, Byron

J. L. Eaton, of Hospital No. 4.
The Bismarck basket ball teams
were defeated in the opening games of
the season by top-heavy scores, the
boys losing by the score Of 18 to 35.
The Bismarck boys put up a closer
and better game than the score indi-
Gates. F. Order of the. home team
shown brilliantly on the defense, his
work at forward was also very pleas
ing. TIE referee was from Elvins,
and he permitted the game to resem-
BILE football, as the players carried the
ball, made flying tackles and did ev-
erything that is customary in a game
at Elvins. The girls lost by the score
of 81 to 8. They were outplayed from
the start, but fought bravely through
out the game and held high hopes of
winning until the curtain fell on the
contest. The Flat River girls and Es-
ther boys will be here this afternoon
for the opening games of the home
season. We hope our teams will make
a better showing this time. We also
hope that few of the home players
will not get mad and want to whip
the scorer, like they did at Elvins last
Friday, because they thought he had
cheated them out of a few points.
Score keeping is hard job, and any
sensible person will not bullrag n
score keeper who is trying to do right.
We are told that sentiment grew very
strong against the home score keeper
because he was thought to have cheat
ed the home team out Of two points.
This story reminds US of marble
games, when little fellows would lose
their marbles and then want to whip
the next one near them. This is the
first time we have heard high school
boys and girls cry over and make as
much noise about a basket ball game
that was lost by their own failure to
defeat the other team.
