FARGO WINS GAME
FROM Y. c. H.

The football game at Fargo yester-
day proved to be very disastrous for
the Valley City veterans when the fast
Fargo aggregation sent them down
to defeat by score of 40 to 6. Up to
this time we have been able to learn
but little of the game. We under
stand the score at the end of the first
quarter was 6 to 0 in favor of Valley
City boys and at the end Of the first
half the score was 6 to 6, but during
the second half >one of Valley City's
stars was put out of the game due to
injuries which weakened the locals
line to some extent. This gave Fargo
an opportunity to smash the Valley
City line time and again, making long
gains each time. During the last half
we understand the locals were at the
mercy of the fast Fargo bunch. This
is the first time in several years that
Fargo has slipped the small end OF
the score to Valley City although they
have always looked forward to a game
with Valley City with hopes Of send
ing them down to defeat. The locals
journeyed to Fargo yesterday morning
determined to send their old rivals
down the old dirt road as they have
done the past years but Fargo turned
the trick this time. The boys are
now more determined than ever to
meet Fargo this winter in basketball
and send them off the floor carrying
the small end Of the score.
It is said that George Wertin who
was looked on as one of Valley City's
strongest men in football and for the
past two years an all-state forward
in basketball, will be out of the game
for some time due to broken arm
and rib which he sustained in yester-
days game. This will weaken the To-
cal lineup considerably but the boys
have not lost their hopes Of climbing
up towards the state championship
honors. Hard luck boys, better luck
this winter. p 5r~><

y;..,;LESALE JAIL
DELIVERY ATV. c.

It is rather discouraging for the
local newspaper to have to get the
news of a wholesale Jail breaking
from the Fargo Forum when the
sheriff should have given it to us
first hand. It has peeved us somewhat
and we have reason to be peeved, and
in addition to that the public at large
have right to know these things and
to know why this happened, where the
men got that screw driver and why
the prisoners were not better guarded
and watched. We have no desire to
enter into controversy with the
sheriff but he has seen fit to withhold
this news and so we are asking for in
formation in the interests of the pub
lic. .l.y-. +. s s,@ .
Here is the story as taken from the
Fargo Forum: r.r. - ( "a. r.
Every patrolman> on the Fargo po-
lice force received instruction today
to be on the watch for six prisoners
who escaped from the Barnes county
Jail at Valley City about this morn
ing. ...-.
While Sheriff Engebret Larson and
his deputies Of Valley City, are
searching the district in the vicinity
of Valley City, Fargo police are keep
ing. a watch on all incoming trains,
and of strangers in the city. .,....
Whether the prisoners were aided
in their escape by machine waiting
to speed them off, officials at Valley
City could not say at an early hour
this morning. If not, the men are
believed to be hiding in the hills near
that city. @ 80
The prisoners, with the use of a
screw driver, tunneled hole through
the stone wall of the cell which they
occupied, into the adjoining plumbing
room.
Climbing lead pipe in the latter
room, they then crawled through the
ventilation fan opening, and dropped
a distance of so feet to the ground
from y rope formed Of blankets and
sheets taken from the cell.
Tha,jail break was discovered about
6 a. ~, by Sheriff Larson and his
deputies. The other 16 prisoners in
the county Jail are accounted for.
The escaped prisoners are j: =.
Brown, Andrew Walak, George Dan
iels, James McKoy, John j. Keegan
and Robert Clark. y
Not sound was heard about this
Jail delivery around town yesterday.
so far as we could hear, and the first
we knew of it as we'll as hundreds of
others, was what was seen in the Far
90 paper. This paper has treated the
sheriff's office very we'll we think, in
the past, and is entitled to little
more consideration along these lines.
The Times Record represents the peo-
people and the people want to know
of these things, therefore we can see
no valid reason for withholding this
news from us while at the same time
it was being hawke1 all over the city
Of Fargo by the papers there. That is
our position. ~

.MlLTON-BEAL MAR
RlAGE S0LEMNlZED

A very pretty wedding was solemn
lied at the Milton home on Wednes-
day, October IL, 1921, when Miss Ruth
Charlotte Milton and Lester Frank
Beal were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony by Rev. J. A. Moe.
Promptly on the last stroke of five
Miss Ruby Baarstad struck the first
chords Of "For You Alone," which was
tenderly sung by Miss Inga Baarstad.
Immediately following the song the
bridal party entered to the strains of
Mendelssohn's wedding march which
continued softly throughout the cere-
mony. Beneath bowery # autumn
leaves and flowers the impressive
marriage service was read. The bride
wore a rich and tasty dress Of brown
velvet with a corsage of pansies and
asters. The bridesmaid was Miss Es-
ther Milton, sister of the bride. The
groom was attended by P. J. Horn
backer. The house was decorated with
autumn leaves and flowers. Follow
ing the ceremony Miss Baarstad rem
dered "Just Song at Twilight" aft
er which followed congratulations.
At 6 o'clock the Misses A. Over
paard. Mathilda Mikkelson and Helen
Olson, assisted by Mrs. Boures, serv-
ed the very dainty wedding luncheon:
Mr.. and Mrs. Beal are both well
known in the city. The bride is the
youngest daughter Of Mr.. Adolph Mil
ton, a we'll known old settler and re-
tired farmer. She has attended the
local schools and for the past year
has been employed in the local tele-
phone office. A host Of friends wish
her all the happiness that the future
may. bring. Mr.. Beal formerly OF
Omaha, Nebraska. has been resident
Of this city for the. past year where
he has been engaged in farm work
He is the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph
Beal of Slayton, MINI.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
D0ESCO0D WORK

The city fire department was called
out about five o'clock yesterday att
ernoon to fire at the garage Of A.
Snider & Son. At the time the alarm
was sounded flames were shooting out
all over the roof and sides of the build
ing and it looked to most >people as II
nothing COULD top the fire or even
save the rear end of the Right Price
store from Catching fire as the flames
were sweeping across the alley fur
iously, but the boys got right down to
business and soon had three streams
pouring onto that cauldron of fire and
inside of thirtx minutes had the fire
practically out: It was a fine piece
Of work and we'll handled. The build
ing was gutted but at that it was only
a fifty percent loss in the face OF
great odds. There are various con-
lectures as to the cause Of the fire
but SO far we have been unable to get
the right one. The Sniders themselves
do not know how it happened. It was
first reported that stove had been
set up and that the fire had caught
from the stove pipe running through
the floor, another reason advanced
was that cigarette had been dropped
and started the fire and the third rea-
son for it was short circuit of some
electric wire, but that is all conjec-
ture. We understand that some insur-
ance was carried on the building but
the amount had not been learned up
to this time. The building is one OF
the old landmarks and had it burned
down c\1pletelv very few tears
would have been shed over it's de-
struction or the building next to it on
the south. What is left Of the burned
building will no doubt be condemned
and torn down.
