NANNY" Pleasant. of Chatham,
Canada, is said to have given John
Brown $4,000 to finance his historic
raid on Harper's Ferry, raid which
has been regarded by historians as one
of the factors leading to the breach
between the south and the north in
1861.
A few days ago the ghost of this
woman arose to cheat the heirs of a
white woman in California out of a
huge estate.
Mrs. Theresa Bell white. widow OF
Thomas Bell a fortyniner, who
wrested fortune in gold from the
California hills. whose will was offered
for probate, IS found TO have dis

words spoken by Nanny Pleasant
In the strange document the white
woman declared that she was not the
mother of the five children who had
regarded her as such throughout their
lives. She also named another woman
in her husbands life, who she declared
was mother of the children. Her be-

this territory seeded with. death in
the form. of poisoned grain4
The saving in crops and grasses
during the past year totals $11 ,O0O,-
900, the department stated. More
than $54 900, 900 worth Of foods and
grasses has been saved since the be-
ginning Of the campaign in 1916, the

By High School and City
Girls Teams at 1880

S. Local basketball fans are assured
two interesting basketball games at
the new armory this evening when
four local teams stage a double-
header for the price Of one game.
The preliminary between the high
school girls and the city girls will be
staged at 1880 and the game between
the Naval Militia outfit and the State
Teachers college will begin about
8:15, or as soon as possible after
the close of the girls game. I
This will be the first appearance
of the city girls team this season.
Composed largely of former high
school players, it is expected that
II: organization will give the high
4 girls a hard battle. The high
. ,l4s.o4 girls made their. first public
appearance last Friday night and
came out victorious over the Cass
Lake girls. Both teams have been
practicing regularly for the past
several months and much interest
has been taken by the members of
each in this line of sport. : i
This will be the first appearance OF
the Naval Militia team since being
defeated by the Army team at the
opening Of the season: The "gobs"
have a fair organization and are ex7
pected to give the Bemidji teachers
"a good game. although victory for
the sailors is hardly looked for by
even. the Navy following: The fol-
lowing lineup will probably start
the game for the Militia team: Min
nick, right forward; Olson or Reed,
left forward; Rude, center; Hulett,
right guard, and Stapleton, left
guard. =. 8: +. -. NJ -

of this seasons games: Riggs, right
forward; :Simons, left + orw ard;
Horns, center; Elliott or Bergland,
right guard, and Romens, left guard.
Paul will substitute. T,-'
Altogether, two interesting "home
talent" games are assured and it is
expected that they will be well at
tended, since each team has a strong
following. j. W. Smith of the high

the Crookston city team at the new
armory Saturday night. Both OF the
earlier games resulted in victory Tor
Crookston, one on the Bemidji floor
and the other last week on the Crook
ston, fioor4 Bemidji now boasts a
much more experienced team than
that which represented the city in the
first game between these two teams
and it expected that the local boys
will give Crookston a hard battle on
the Bemidji floor, despite the fact that
the same lineup which the team now
boasts lost on the Crookston floor.
Crookston will also have a strong
en- lineup than when it appeared here
before. Dutch Houser, who appeared
here. on the Grand Forks American
Legion team, will undoubtedly assist
Crookston as in the last encounter.

strong bid for, the championship OF

the team is now putting up it's best
brand of basketball and assures To-
cal fans that no players will be al

less they are in condition to play
their best game. With that assur-
ance a hard-fought and interesting
game is looked for Saturday night.
No word had been received from
the team this morning and it is be-
lieved that no game was played last
night, although a game had been ten
