ter Louis Marquisee, the four year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. R. Marquisee
1t was the birthday, the fourth one,
Of this young man, and in order to
make the day one Of more than ordin-
airy notice, his mother got up birth
day party for him to which about
twenty of his little boy and girl
friends responded and the afternoon
was a merry and joyous one for him
and his little friends They had a
good time playing, plenty Of good
things to eat and the little host re-
ceived several very nice presents as
remembrances of his happy birthday.
It was jolly crowd and while Louis
may not remember all that happened
on his fourth birthday he surely had
good time while it lasted.

That people, particularly farmers,
are reading the local market report
published in the Times-Record, is evil
denced by the fact that yesterday we
quoted rye at SIC when it should have
been SIC, and several farmers jumped
onto the elevator agents about it and
thought they we're being "beat" out
of 1Oc per bushel. 1t was our mis-
take. Of course We shouldn't make
mistakes, no other person outside OF
the newspaper man does, but we did
make one and we make this explana-
ton. We aim to give the markets
correctly but once in long time a
wrong figure gets in the report-and
there we are. The elevator men were
right yesterday and our report on
rye was wrong. Hence the amende
honorable at this time.

In a one sided baseball game last
night the "Outlaws" took the STAMP
Cancellers'' into camp to the tune Of
10 to /, the post office crew getting
their lone counter in the third frame.
In the first inning Clark hit out a
high fly. Walker and Amundson both
wanted it with the result that they
collided, both men receiving minor
injuries. There were no casualties
but the Outlaws are pretty stiff this
morning from the unusual amount OF
running. We will conceal the names
of the batteries as we do not believe
the Stamp Cancellers vans the publ
city and the Outlaws can't expect any
free advertising for their players.
With scores like the above it's no Won

and the teams lined up the league
team might just as we'll 60 out of
business because they will be shown
an exhibition of base ball that will
make every one of our leaguers look

been drafted to get up one team and
DR.. F. L.. Wicks the other, and it will
be game between business and pro-
fessional men. Both captains are
scouting around for available stars
for these teams. There will be an ad-
mission fee charged and it will be
worth it - the proceeds to go to the
Community Club to defray expenses
in buying milk and other needed neces-
sites for children whose parents are
not able to provide for them. You

watch for the date and be prepared
to go and see it and help out good

Some time ago the Times-Record
carried a story about a family who
was touring from Boise, Idaho, to
Chicago and return, stopping in our
city tourist park for several days.
They were travelling in a decidedly
unique car, the body of which was
fitted up with all the comforts of
home and accommodations provided
for the party of nine. Yesterdays
press dispatches carry story of an
accident which this party suffered
near Medora which is printed below:
Dickinson, N. D., Aug. l. - When
brakes on tourist Pullman" failed
to work on a steep hill, Fred French,
Boise, Idaho, driving, was unable to
make sharp turn at the bottom Of
the grade and the heavy covered
body car turned turtle in ditch
near Peaceful Valley ranch north Of
Medora. The life Of the 10 months
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. French
was crushed out, and all five occu-
pants of the car were badly cut and
bruised. The injured persons were
treated by DR.. r. S. McCardle of the
North Dakota Tuberculosis associa-
ton, who was camping nearby. The
body of the child was inferred at Me-
dora, and the members Of the party
are receiving treatment at that point.
The French family was enroute home
to Boise after a trip to Chicago.

Last evening there was someone on
the east side of the river near the
Northern Pacific railroad tracks shoot
ing in the direction of the city with a
% calibre rifle. The bullets were
whistling over the houses on the west
side of the river and one bullet struck
within six inches of a door in which
woman was standing. The police
were notified and went over to try
and locate the party but whoever it
was evidently saw them first and dis
appeared. This is a mighty poor
practice and if anyone is caught us
ing rifle inside of the city limits
