Hill ,|ERS WIN
kiRoM ATHLETICS
v; City Hands Fargo Their First
rs Defeat Of The Season In An
~ Ljcyen Inning Game. it,

.After winning five straight games
since the opening of the Dakota leag-
ue season Fargo suffered it's first
defeat at the hands Of the local Hi
Liners in an eleven inning game at
Fargo yesterday. Valley City scored
3 runs in the first inning while Far
go only crossed the plate once> Ed
die Klein walked as usual. Lai.e sac
rificed and Gilbert singled. Hart got
life on a fielders choice while Eddie
chalked up the first run of the game.
Menne was handed pass and Hidden
got to first on Meiers error. Wills,
the new shortstop, connected for a
single and put Gilbert and Hart
across the pan. Fargo tied the count
in the second but only held that place
for the one inning as the Hi-Liners
again took the lead in the third thru
a walk, an error by our old friend
Wlngfield, and two singles put anoth-
er figure on the scoreboard. No scores
in the fourth. Fargo came back very
strong in the fifth with two runs, put
ting them one run in the lead. Ev-
erything was tame in the sixth with
no scoring but the Hi-Liners tied the
count again in the seventh with the
second run by Klein. Drost, the new
pitcher, was sent to the dugout in this
inning and Finch sent to the mound.
Lefty has been suffering from a sore
arm since the opening game in James
town and he had to be pulled at the
end of the eighth and Buck Enger fin
ished the game, Fargo took the lead
in the eighth but the Hi-Liners tied
the game again in the ninth. No
scores in the tenth but in the final
frame an error and two hits gave the
local the two runs that spelled defeat
for the Athletics.
Fargo papers in recent issues drew
attention to the statement that Val
ley City's "much touted" team could
only win when Boardman pitched and
were quite sarcastic in their mention
of the locals, which makes yesterdays
win all the more satisfying.
~ The Hi-Liners are playing the same
team again today and tomorrow be-
fore going to Jamestown for a two
game series.

The weekly Kiwanis dinner held
yesterday at the Rudolf Hotel was
well attended, as usual. Mr.. Lewis
Healy was introduced as the chairman
of the day. He asked for some patri-
otic and Kiwanis songs. Several guests

o. Stee of the Kiwanis Club. Three
veteran guests were present, Mr..
Henry Beal, Mr.. S. D. Nash, and Cap
tain T. S. Henry. Attorney John O..
Hanchett formally accepted the char
ter which had been presented to the
Club by Governor John Pollock of
Fargo. In his address he laid en-
phasis upon the Kiwanis motto, "We
Build". Prof. Rhoades read short
story which brought to the club the
nobility of service. Attorney Lee
Combs made an appropriate address
of welcome to the veterans present.
In vivid language he reviewed heroic
incidents of sacrifice of the Civil War
and did honor to the veterans of that
conflict. With fervor he spoke of the
spectacular campaigns of the War
with Mexico and of the Spanish War.
He closed his address by summary
of the World War and a eulogy of
the American troops in action. The
meeting was closed with The Star
Spangled Banner.

Team Winning Scores. Same
Teams Play Final Game of Series
Today.

The Fargo Athletics got lucky yes
terday and took the second game of
the series from the Hi-Liners by a
to 2 score. Hayes, a new pitcher (?)
for the Hi-Liners started the game
for the locals but only lasted a part
of one inning, the Athletics clouting
his offerings hard in the one-third in
ming he occupied the mound. As a
result Of Hayes attempt to pitch Far

in the first inning. Finch was sent
in to save the locals and stayed for
four innings and then Drost took the
mound and finished for the locals. The
Hi-Liners scored in the first. Klein
flied out to Aarons, Lane got pass
and Gilbert hit for one bag, putting
Lane on third. Lewis made wild
throw to the plate and Lane crossed
the pan for the first counter for the
locals Fargo scored three runs in the
first and one each in the fourth, fifth
and sixth. The Hi-Liners got their
final counter in the ninth inning, both
runs being earned runs.

is that Buck Enger will be on the
mound for the Hi-Liners, the manage
ment saving Boardman for the Sun

Pioneer Physician of Las Animas Was
Found Dead in Home.

The following article from the April
20 issue of the San Diego, Calf, Union
will be of interest to many of the old
time residents of Bent county:
"Dr. William II. Cummings, SO, was
found deed near his bed in him home.
4lS9 Wabash avenue, East San Diego,
by F. K. Abner, a son-in-law of the
doctor, who notified the coroner.
after an examination Coroner Kel-
ly said that DIR. Cummings probably
died from natural canses. He was one
of the pioneer residents of this part
of southern California"
DIR. Cummings was also well known
in the carly history of Lamar, having
proved UP the land east of Lamar on
which Cottage Place addition is locat-
ed. He was prominent in the public
affairs OF the city and old Bent county.
and was candidate for the Legislature
in the well remembered fight over the
division of the county. He was de-
feated by James Swift, also of La
mar, who favored county division. DR..
Cummings had many friends among
old timers here. He moved to Cali
fornia 4 few years after the division
of old Bent county.

LAMAR STUDENTS FINE RECORD
Grade From the State University Show
Last Years Graduates From La
mar High School Make
Good Record.

The grades received from the State
University at Boulder by the local
school authorities last week were such
as to make those in charge of the La
mar high school feel very proud of the
work done by the young people rep
resenting the Lamar school in the
freshman class of the university AS
the grades of the freshman are the
only individual ones sent to their home
schools they are the only ones on
which comparisons can be made. OF
the &c grades sent to our school of
ficials by the university only one was
below passing or less than per cent.
A comparison OF these figures with
other grades made at the university
gives the following interesting fig
ures:
The average grade for all freshmen,
1920-2l, 70.yS.
The average for all students, fresh
men, sophomores, juniors and seniors,
1889.
Average grade for all scholarship
students, 1865.
The average grade for Lamar grad
uates, 1854.
This 10 a record for home folks to
be proud of, and shows ouS young
people are doing the best of work at
the states biggest school. Lamar is
not only proud of them but also of the
school that turns out students of this
class.
"The oration by Grey Daszynicz is
one of those chosen to be given at the
final contest at Boulder on the evening
of May 13. Further directions will
follow"
Such was the word received this
morning from G. W. Hubert Of the
University Of Colorado.
Grey is senior this year in the
Lamar high school. The school is
proud of the honor he won in this
contest. He is one OF the five young
men in the high schools of the state
to be selected to appear in Boulder
for this contest.

A REAL SOFT STREET
L. z. Taxpayer Thinks 1t Was Also
Pretty Soft for the Contractors.

Mr.. Editor:-
l see by the bills allowed that the
city paid $102.50 for dumping that
dirt on Fifth street. The people along
it would raise twice that amount to
get it off again. Even if needed the
contractors who dumped it there would
rather have paid the city twice that
amount than to have hauled it away.
Pretty soft for the contractors, I say!
By the way the people on the street
say the city has done just as much to
their street as it has to Camel Boule-
ward and they are also demanding n
new and more appropriate name. They
want it ramed "Razorback Turnpike" !"
While there isn't any tollgate yet you
have to pay toll every time you drive
the length of it either in repairs or
being pulled out of the mud.
see the officers of the various civic
and welfare societies and many of the
clubs are going to devote one whole
week of their valuable time to the up
lift Of the children they have brought
into the world. Isn't that sweet of
them? I'll say it is! | very much
fear, however, that the kids will con-
tinue to run the streets the other
fifty-one weeks of the year while the
uplift is being applied to other un-
suspecting objects. 1t used to be that
parents We're expected to look after
their children all the year round, but
now it takes a proclamation from the
governor to get them to give the kids
81 to l chance at the uplift. The
fool stunts pulled during the war to
furnish excuses for staying at home
showed many of the people that
children can grow up like Topsy;
while there is less work and more
limelight to be had in public meetings.
Well! Well! 1t looks like the
world has outgrown old fashioned peo-
pie, like

Carey Segregation Bill Passes.

Senator Phipps' bill authorizing pat
ent of Carey Segregation No. IL, To-
Gated in Bent County, passed the Sem
ate shortly after it was reported ia
vorably from the Committee on Irri-
cation ard Reclamation by the senior
Senate from Colorado.
Should this measure be approved by
the House (and Congressman Hardy
is doing his utmost to that end), it
will mean that the settlers will be en-
abled to borrow money upon irriga-
ton facilities for the further develop
ment of the project. A reservoir with
capacity of twenty-six thousand
acre-feet has been built, and more
than one acre-foot storage for each
acre within the segregation has there
by been secured.
However, it is desired to construct
an additional canal and dam at an es-
timated expense of $322,0OO, thus
greatly increasing the productivity and
value of the land.

TWO ARE INDICTED
IN LOAN FRAUD
Denver Concern Heads Named by
Weld County Jury.

Greeley, Colo, April 27.-The Weld
county grand jury this morning re
turned indictments against w. w.
Searles, president, and Emil o.
Schmidt, agent, of the Western Home
Building and Loan association on a
charge of violating the Knaus-Peter-
son act, passed at the last session OF
the Colorado Legislature, for the pur-
pose of preventing stock swindling.
The Western Home Building and
Loan association has headquarters in
Denver and Searlcs and Schmidt are
now believed to be in that city.
The Indictments were handed to
Judge Neil F. Graham this afternoon
and charge the Eale of rights and
shares in a corporation by "swind-
ling and cheating operation"
The association was organized for
the purpose of loaning money at
3 per cent interest rate under spe-
cial contract for the purpose of build
ing homes. The jury's finding charges
the association obtained S2.S0O from
Mrs. Grace Pennington Of Greeley in
return for thirty $1,000 contracts in
the association.
Under the terms of the contract the
association, in August, 1922, was to
construct $4,000 hotel building, the
$4,000 to stand as a five-year 3 per
cent loan secured by the building and
lots.
According to the grand jury, the
certificates of the company carry the
statement that the association has been
approved by the Colorado state in
spector That statement is alleged to
be a Misrepresentation. The certifi-
Gates also carried the statement that
reserve of s45O,OOO was carried in
a Denver bank.
District Attorney Reed announced
the indictments would be followed by
others of n similar nature in n few
days.

Free Record Book for Tractor Owning
Farmers.

Do you operate tractor? If so,
are you keeping account of the cost
of operation? If not you may wish
to do so, hence the Tractor Record
Book, furnished free on application to
the Extension Service, Colorado Agri-
cultural College at Fort Collins, will
be helpful. This is substantially
bound booklet designed for keeping a
complete record of the use of the ma
chine. The opening page has ruled
space for entry of data on make of
tractor, rating, time of purchase; the
price, location of farm; soil type, crops
and acreage. After this preliminary
data there are blanks on which the
cash operating record is kept and then
follows the daily operating record,
which includes kind of work, machin-
cry used or pulled, with and depth of
plowing, amount of fuel; amount of
oil; amount of grease; number of men,
hours at work, acres and distance COW
cred and other details. On the last
page all of this data may be conven-
iently summarized thus ascertaining
accurate costs per hour and per acre
of the seasons work with the tractor.

To Settle Title to School Lands.

Owing to the confusion which has
arisen in the past over the title to
lands in school sections which are
sometimes claimed by the Federal gov
ernment rs being valuable for mineral
purposes many years after the general
grant to the State, the Senate has just
passed a bill which provides that up
on investigation the Secretary of the
Interior shall issue an absolute patent
to the State for such lands which are
not deemed mineral in character. Fu-
ture disputes would thus be prevented.
Such legislation has been advocated
for some time by the Colorado Board
of Land Commissioners, as well as SIM
liar bodies in other States.

COURT DECISION REVERSED
Supreme Court Reyerses Decision OF
Denver District Court in Case of
Western Livestock Loan
Co. VS.. Gerald
Creaghe.

The case of the Western Livestock
Loan Co. VS.. Gerald Creaghe, which
was won by the defendant in the dis
trict court of Denver has according to
the Monday papers been reversed by
the supreme court. This was the case
where the company sued Mr.. Creaghe
on notes given in payment for stock
of the company, and which the defend
ant insisted were obtained by agents
on fraudulent representations. On the
evidence produced the district court at
Denver ordered the notes cancelled, but
the news item states the bare fact that
else. Until copy of the decision
reaches the local attorneys it will not
be known just how far reaching its
effect will be. There are about doZ-
en- other prominent stockmen in Prov
ers, Bent and Baca counties, who also
have the same kind of notes for large
sums outstanding. and they have suits
pending in the local courts to cancel
these notes. The cases have been con-
tinued waiting for decision in the
case above, and on the extent of that
decision over one hundred thousand
dollars is depending. The company
sent out prospectuses three years ago
claiming to have over fifty million dol
lars to place in livestock loans, and
each victim was carefully selected by
the smooth agents and approached
with the proposition that if he would
take a fair sized block of stock he
could have the southeast Colorado
agency for making loans on livestock.
A dozen exclusive agents were thus
secured in this territory. and the COM
pany was never in shape to make
loan.
Below is an item taken from the
Denver Post of Tuesday:
High Court Denies Right to Cancel
Stock Subscription.
"The right of Gerald f. Creaghe of
Lamar, Colo, to cancel his subscrip-
ton for stock in the Western Live
stock Loan company was denied in a
decision handed down Monday by the
Colorado supreme court.
"The decision reversed the finding
Of the lower court in Denver, which
awarded judgment to Creaghe, who
sued for 3,75O he had paid for stock
and the cancellation of notes to the
value of 81 ,250."

DIDN'T GET THERE
Lamar Delegation Made Brave Effort
But Failed to Reach Canadian.

The Lamar delegation to the D-C-D
Highway convention at Canadian, Tex
as, failed to get very far towards that
point but they demonstrated some
thing of value for the future. Here
after it will never be necessary to en-
dure a long drouth in this section of
the country-just call D-C-D con-
vention and old Jupe will open up the
floodgateS and let the rain pour down.
1t is claimed by some that the boys
might have made their way through
but some of the delegates were so
stuck on the paved streets at Elkhart
that every time the cars started away
they insisted on coming back. They
got to Elkhart last Wednesday and
after many starts in both directions
got back to Springfield on Thursday
evening and landed in Lamar on Fri
day night. Coming away from paved
streets Lamar's Main street was GER
tainly ar abomination to look at all
last week. A man that could look at
that long line of muck and not feel
ashamed is certainly hopeless.
