The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1921-05-26

In last weeks chapter the writer
endeavored to relate the circumstan-
ces leading up 70 the establishment
of the First Baptis.. Church of Sank
Centre, which, according to our un-
Outstanding, took root with and after
the founding OF the First Baptist
Church of Fairy Lake IN the new
city of Kandota,' a church which was
located on the site of the present
Fairy Lake Resort.
The exact date of the founding OF
the Baptist Church III the village CT
Sank Centre, is not on record. but
manuscripts of the church dated
Sept. 5, 1879, indicate that the church
was then in existence and that
number of the members of the Fairy
Lake church found new church homes
in Sank Centre with the presentation
of letters from the Fairy Lake
church.
This communication, which is
matter of record, reads as follows:
"At a meeting of the church the
following Brethren and Sisters pre-
sented letters from Fairy Lake Bap-
fist Church and were received as
members of this church: George w.
Salmond and Sisters Lavina D. Sal
mond and Eliza j.. Wesley"
On July 18th and goth, 1882, the
Northern Minnesota Baptist Assocla-
ton held its twenty-second annual
meeting in Sank Centre. On this
occasion Rev. M. Forbet preached the
opening sermon. Rev. Forbet was
chosen Moderator of this meeting; l..
Palmer, clerk and S. P. Chandler,
treasurer. A letter from the Sank
Centre church was read extending a
hearty welcome to the association.
1t was on the evening of the second
day of this gathering that the dedlca-
ton services of the First Baptist
Church of Sank Centre took place.
The dedication sermon was delivered
by the Rev. E. R. Halbert of Chicago.
An interesting matter OF record
taken from the old church record
book follows. This is in reference to
the dedication services held on the
above named date:
''The church has been in existence
four years and it's membership has
increased from eight to ffty-three.
Has purchased a lot and built a
church edifice at a cost of 1000;
church furniture, 1925 and paid $500
salary to its pastors; and incidental
expenses, $3.50. For Sunday School,
$12O and for Foreign Missions, $500.
Total of four years expenditure,
$3,125."
This computes the record of bust
ness transacted by the church in
Sank Centre during the first four
years of it's existence. The record
is signed by "Belle Salmond, Clerk"
Instrumental in the organization
and maintenance of the First Baptist
Church of Fairy Lake, was John C.
Hoffman, the second man killed in
Sank Centre during the Indian up

SERVICE FOR
NEWPORT GAME
st. JOhnsbury Fans Follow
Newport Game at Bull
letin Boards

Those who could not see We'd
nesday's big game eagerly took ad-
vantage of the Caledonian-he-
cords telephone service to keep
posted on the way the game was
going. Long before the hour OF
the contest the fans began to
gather in Court House Square and
after the news began to come in
there were 200 people in front of
the Office until it was all over. Un-
til the ninth inning was over there
was just enouoh uncertainty ABOUT
the result to keep everybody on
edge, and as zero after zero was
chalked on the board the excite
ment was pretty keen. The news
of the victory was received with
shout and cheers.
Throughout the game and long
into the evening the Caledonian-
Record Office telephone was in al
most continuous service, giving
first the progress of the game and
thcll llic NlClOly. He Calls welt
about equally divided between the
gentlemen and the fair sex while
several out of town calls were re-
ceived.
This service was made POSSIBLE
by the prompt and efficient work
of the operators of the New Eng
land Tel. and Tel. Co., both long
distance and local. From a cot
tage near the Newport fairgrounds
the game was telephoned by inn
ings to the St. Johnsbury Office,
the first call coming in while the
last half of the first innings was
bein~ played. Five calls were re-
ceived during the progress of the
game, the last word coming at $50,
almost Immediately after the game
was over. The St. Johnsbury OPP
orators had an unusually busy al
ternoon and to all the telephone
the Record
wishes to extend its hearty thanNs
and appreciation.

6 TO | VICTORY
FOR FAIRBANKS
OVER NEWPORT
Record-Breaking Crowd
Sees Chick Davis Lead
Team to Victory

There was too much Chick Da-
vies in that to l victory of the
Fairbanks Athletic Association
over the sluoging Newport base
ball club on the Old Fairgrounds
Wednesday afternoon to suit New
port. The former Connie Mack
south winged hurler held well in
the hollow of his hand the dan
gerous Border City swatters, four
of whom bat from the left side of
the plate and hence were his meat.
1t is recognized fact that left
handed hitter is at great disad-
vantage when pitted against
south-paw-and emphatically so
when arraigned before one
Chick Davies.
He was master of the situation
throughout the contest and found
half a dozen Newport swatsmen
guilty of whiting the ozone. Chick
was credited with assists, roam
ing with lightning speed all over
lne diamond, SndrlnS dllIlcult
grounders, and tossing out as
many Border City men, who aspir-
ed to get set on the bases. He
robbed his own infielders of as
sists. Once he jumped over'to third
base, scooped up Bruce's near nit
right out of Charlie Maher's hands
and pegged the flying Ginger out
at the initial sack.
1t was in the ninth stanza tnat
he thrilled the greatest assembly
of fans ever gathered to witness
baseball contest in Northeastern
Vermont. One man was out when
Ginger Bruce hit far to the left
of the twirler. The grounder really

NO AGREEMENT in IRISH PEACE PARLEYS
NEW YORK WITNESSE S
WILL NOT COME TO BOSTON

BOSTON, July 21-Atty. Gen.
J. Weston Allen was authorized to
send a commission to New York
to take the testimony of witnesses
who would not appear here for the
district attorney Tufts removal
proceedings. Allen asked permis-
sion to keep secret the names OF
the New York persons he wanted.
81 have reason to believe, the
attorney general said "that one
witness in New York is attempt
ing to avoid service"
All evidence of the disposition
of cases of which the district at
torney had no knowledge ssad-
Judged incompetent by the court
after Tufts counsel had objected
to certain testimony today on the
ground that the cases were HAND
led by the dist. atty's assistants.
Sergeant Joseph f. Seaver of the
Newton police testified concerning
a case in which a lower court fine
of $10O for operating an automo-
bile while under the influence of
liquor, was disposed of on appeal
by being placed on file with S25
expenses.
The attempt of Atty. Gen. Al
len to add to testimony in support
of the charges of which he seeks
the removal Of Tufts, evidence
that certain cases were quashed
improperly, was defeated today by
a ruling of the supreme court. The
full bench ruled that it could not
be held against Tufts as cause
for removal that his assistants
were inefficient or corrupt. All evil
dence of the disposition of cases in
which Dist. Atty. Tufts was not
shown to have knowledge was
adjudged incompetent. The Atty.
General said that in view of the
decision the Commonwealth would
offer no more cases except those
in which it could be shown that
Mr. Tufts was personally respon-
Sible.
