A decision in the case of Phil G..

ceived from Judge Anderson Thursday
morning which will be of interest to
many people who heard the case when
it was brought to trial during the
recent session. The decision is in fa-
vor OF Mr.. Saunders lin all things"
The case grew out OF a land deal,
wherein Mr.. Erickson sold Mr.. Sann-
ders 1877 acre farm adjoining Will
mot in 1919. The deal was a large
one, some $4,000 being involved.
Under the terms of the contract Mr..
Saunders was to receive deed and
title on March 1. 1920. This he failed
to do and it was this breach Of con-
tract that made grounds for the suit
for cancellation of contract.
Judge Anderson took the case under
ADJUSTMENT and handed down his de-
cision this week The case was DIT

The JinX Was With Us

Three costly errors in the first and
second innings coupled with raw de-
cisions unfavo1able to Milbank caus-
ed the downfall Of the local baseball
team here Sunday in their game with
the Peever Indians.
With Peever at bat and one man
down, Shea stopped A speedy grountler
chat had all of the chances for a beau
tiful double play. He was somewhat
in a hurry, however, and tipped the
ball, losing enough time to make the
play impossible Dauman, officiating
at third let a hot liner thru him,
scoring two runs and the game was
on.
Several times during the game the
locals played flashy bail, threatening
to score and pulling out of a big hole
when Peever threatened to score.
Johnny Scheall replaced Nick Pesch-
ong on the mound in the seventh and
Daumann took Calfee's place behind
the bat, Calfee going to short. After
getting settled Johnny pitched good
ball, getting away in good style ;.
Butch krause distinguished himself
by making three safe hits out of five
trips to the plate. He played error
less nall all the way thru the game
and assisted in many putouts.
Peever was loaded for the game
having Watts, who was the hurler
for the Wheaton team in the Lake
League last year and Crosby, who
has sntched for Sisseton during the
past year. Both are good pitchers and
were somewhat too heavy for the Mil
bank .eam Sunday.
