Only a small portion o.. that part Of

Local High School to Meet Stephen
High School Here On
Friday

Last Saturday afternoon the football
season was opened in Warren. Ada and
Warren eldeayOred to Guido each other
Oh the gridirOn but at the end of the
contest the score stood six and six. The
game was interesting considering the
fact that it was the first game played
by each eleven p.
In the first quarter the Warren eleven
showed more pep and from the time the
ball went into play until the first and
only touchdown made by the locals, the
Ada eleven did not get a chance to show
what they could do with the ball The
locals in this quarter plunged thru the
line at will and made their downs every
time. After getting the ball on the Ada
thirty yard line a fake play was run
thru with perfection and Quistgard, the
Warren quarterback, made a nice run
and crossed the goal line. The work Of
Lindstrand, the local fullback. was eff
fective. he going thru the Ada line for
big gains whenever he. was called on:
Lindstarnd was taken out at the. end
of the first half on account of severity

down in the third period. Because of
some question as to the number OF
downs the Ada eleven had, the head
linesman came onto the field and tried
to stop the play: The referee had blown
his whistle but the umpire had not. so
the play went through. Some of the
Warren boys on hearing the whistle pay
ed no attention to the play The Ada
eleven very nicely performed a forward
pass and crossed the line, thus tieing
! the score.

some hard rubs which will keep several

sdiscllssio sat the meeting of the club at
the club rooms last evening. a good
attendance was present at the meeting
and 81 very interesting session was had,
numerous matters of interest to the city
and community being taken up and dis
cussed. 81 81 4:s( $3 81.
The bad condition of the road leading
southwest of Warren was called to the
attention OF the highway committee and
the suggestion offered that efforts
Should fbe made to have the road SUI
pervisOrs Of the townships of Farley
and sBoxFille give this road their atten-
ton required to keep it in good shape
7 The committees attention was also
called to the matter of making efforts
to have the road leading from Warren
west to Oslo, placed under the Babcock
Trunk highway system and the sugges-
ton made that a petition to this effect
be presented to the state highway com
missioner. 81
The suggestion was also offered that
efforts should be made to have the graz
yelling completed on the state road east
Of Warren, there being only three or
four miles left to form the connecting
link of some sixty or eighty miles OF
grayelled roadway. The travelling Of
the Great Eastern is another project
that should be taken up as soon as pos
sible as it would furnish employ
for a large number of men and if UNI
dertaken during late fall and early win
ter would give farmers along the road
an opportunity to haul the gravel and
thereby convert idle time into cash.
Attention was called to the Importance
of cutting the weeds along the roads
during the next few, weeks so as to pre-
vent blockading of the roads by drift
ing snow. A suggestion was made that
a snow fence erected near the city linz
it's north OF town on Second street
would prevent the formation Of snow
drifts at that point, which makes that
street impossible every spring,

ANCIENT RELICS ARE
FOUND AT .CROOKSTON
While Digging Potatoes Old Tools Are
Uncovered That Seem to Prove
Vikings Visited Minnesota

Elias SteentersOn, brother of Con-
gresham Halvors SteenGrson and prom
inent Crookston potato grower, has just
unearthed what he believes to have
been tools used by the Norwegian Vik-i
ings in: Minnesota 500 years ago. The
implements consist Of an old ruste1
|steel axe with wooden handle said
TO be recognized as OF Norwegian origin,
and q piece Of steel chise1 SOf peculiar
shape, also said to be common in Nor
way years ago. The two tools were
found lin the river bed Of the Sandhill
river on Mr.. Steenerson's farm. Mr..
Steenerson's theory is that the axe and
chisel were dropped by the old vikings
who established the rune stones near
|Kensington, MINI. He has forwarded
picture Of them to h. R. Holland Of
Ephiram, Wis, the discoverer Of the
rune stones, asking him his opinion.
| The KensingtOn rune stone states that
III NorWegians and eight Goths had ar
rived there on an expedition from Vine
land in 1852.
About q. year. ago Mr.. Stevenson
found an old NOrnamented brass battle
axe that was in the shape Of the Nor
Iwegians coat OF arms and q 18th CEN
fury axe was found earlier by Christ
laSamuelson another prominent potato
grower, while digging potatoes near St
Hiaire.
About 100 years ago the Chippewa
and Sioux Ind ians met Ia battle near
the place where the axe was found by
MI. steenerson The Ghippewas dug IN
at night fall ia the basin Of the Sandhill
E1riyer ana It Is the belief Of Mr.. Steen-
erson that they carried the axe there
inter having secured It from the same
expedi ton that erected the rune stones
