STRASBURG VICTORIOUS

Doc" Miller's all-star basketball
team defeated the strong Norfolk
and Western Shop team of Shenan-
doah Tuesday, December Is, in one
of the most thrilling games ever
witnessed on Shenandoah's court.
The game was played before the
largest crowd that ever assembled to
see a basketball game in that town.
Elliot. Shenandoah forward was
the outstanding star for Shenandoah
making six field goals, five OF
which were made in rapid success
sion.
Pingley. Strasburg's forw ard,
started Strasburg on its way to vic
tory by rolling in two field goals in
the first minute of play. Link, All
Star center was in wonderful form
and his pitching of goals was the
outstanding feature of the game.
Bob" Ludwig of Strasburg played
his usual game by pitching two field
goals and one foul besides guarding
his opponent to perfection Saum
guarded well and smothered shots at
all angles. Hickman who played
we'll was forced to leave the game on
account Of injury, was replaced by
Wayman who kept up the good
showing made by Hickman. The sub
stitutes, Anderson, Purvis and Perry
were in great form but were without
chance to show their skill.

Parking Ordinance Will
Be Strictly Enforced
Parking Space Has Been Marked on
Paved Streets-Cheerful Com
pliance Will Save Trouble

George Fish has spent several days
this week marking parking spaces for
automobiles on the paved streets of
Sank Centre. This move has become
necessary because of the heavy con-
gested condition of the streets, es-
pecially Saturday evenings.
Sank Centre has a city ordinance
regulating the parking of autos. 1t
has not been strictly enforced here
tofore. Mayor Parker has instructed
Chief of Police Joseph Miller to en-
force the ordinance. In few days the
police will have tags and unless your
cas- is correctly parked you may find
a tag on it requesting you to call on
the Municipal Judge the next morn
ing. The police will retain portion
of the tag so it will not be possible to
duck. A cheerful compliance to the
parking rules will make it much
pleasanter for all and will make it
possible to accommodate many more
cars on the pavement.

Four Wisconsin Young
People Come to Grief Here
Tell Police Phoney Story About Be-
ing Robbed at Fargo-Sheriff
Takes Them Back.

Friday of last week four young
folks, two young men, aged 10 and
81, and two girls, aged 15 and II,
arrived in Sank Centre by auto from
Fargo, N. d. They hunted up Joseph
Miller, Chief of Police, told a pitiful
story of how they had been robbed
at Fargo and that they had been with
out food for two days, and asked for
assistance. One of the young men
claimed one of the girls was hiS>sister.
When the car was put in storage at
one of the local garages is was
found that one of the young men
had registration card showing him
to be the owner Of the car-that is
he had purchased it on contract. The
address given on the card was Gren
Bay, Wis. Chief Miller wrote the gar
age at Green Bay for information.
Monday he received the following
wire from the sheriff at Green Bay.
Hold two young couples.
Have warrant for Joe Minny and
Edward Vancampenhaut; also
Juvenile summons for Evelyn
Pieriner and Marion Ashley. Of
ficer will leave tonight"
The girls were quartered at the
Waldorf Cafe and Chief Miller had
secured employment for the boys on
the Cowlthrop farm in Raymond
township. AS soon as he received the
message from Wisconsin he lodged
the girls in Jail and drove to the Cowl-
throp farm and arrested the boys.
The Herald interviewed the young
people at the jail Tuesday morning.
The girls took their arrest as very
much of lark. They said that the
story that they had been robbed at
Fargo was phoney; that they had
about $4,000 in the party when they
left Green Bay the week before.
A deputy Sheriff arrived Tuesday
afternoon and Immediately started
for Green Bay taking the entire
crowd in the automobile and said he
intended to drive straight through
without stopping.
More than likely when they arrive
in Wisconsin the young men will be
called upon to face some very grave
charges.

Todd County Treasurer
Makes Unusual Tax Ruling
If Finding Stands Legislature Has Its
Work Cut Out Local Attorn-
ey Asks for Light.

The Minnesota legislature jealous
ly guards tax laws to the end that
real estate titles will not have cloud
upon them.
The records of Todd county show.
that ]. F. Cooper and the Estate of
M. C. Kelsey own quarter section of
farm land jointly-each having an
undivided half interest in the tract.
Checks covering the taxes were
mailed to the county treasurer of
Todd county the latter part of May.
A check-up later showed that one
of the owners had paid $3.50 more
than the other A letter
of inquiry relative to this unusual
charge brought an answer from
which the following remarkable ex-
cerpt is taken:
In regard to the difference
in the taxes on the Und1s of
SEA 29-f27-35, the assessor
valued Mr.. cooper's Und1s
higher because he ASSESSED a,
building on this land while there
is no building on the other
Und1a.
The problem is trife too deep for
Attorney L. L. Kells of Sank Centre
and he has written the treasurer for a
diagram showing just how this very
unusual finding was arrived at.

Thrilling Airplane Act Has
Been Booked for Co. Fair
Speed Holman" and Blackstone Will
Display Death-Defying Stuff
Other Big Attractions.

President j. B. Schoenhoff and
Secretary Gunther Hillerud made a
ten-strike for the 1925 Stearns coun-
ty fair Friday evening of last week
when they booked Speed Holman and
L.. Blackstone, stunt aeroplane men.
to perform each of the three DAYS at
the fair, Sept. 29' 80, and Oct. l..
These men were the headliners of
the show, given at the fair grounds a
few weeks ago, and in booking them
Tor return engagement for this
years fair the officers have complied
was an insitent demand.
Secretary Hillerud received a letter
from the Northern States Exposition
Company few days ago in which
they state their shows and riding de-
vlses which they will bring to this
years fair will be largely augmented.
In their contract with the Fair Associ-
alton the Northern Exposition Comp
any are to furnish three high grade
free attractions, none of which are
connected with their shows. These
will perform each afternoon in front
OF the grand stand.
While number have notified
either Howard Bishop or Stephan
Schwarzbauer of their willingness to
room some of the teachers from the
rural schools of Stearns county who
will be in attendance at the Teachers
Institute to be held in Sank Centre
during the three days of the fair, the
committee hopes that others who are
in a position to accommodate the tea
cheers will get in communication with
them at as early a date as possible.
A canvass of the city will likely be
necessary but, those who are already
booked up will not 6e bothered. In
making your report to the committee
indicate whether you would prefer
men or women teachers. These tea
cheers expect to pay a reasonable
charge for the room rental during
their three days stay in the city.
The late date Of holding this years
fair should insure a splendid display
in all departments of the fair. The
lateness of the season should make it
possible for larger percentage of the
farmers to attend the fair than ever
before.
Mark this-the 1925 Stearns Coun-
ty Fair will be bigger and better than
ever.

MOUNTAIN ELIMINATED

Very keen disappointment was ex-
pressed by Sank Centre people Fri
day when word reached the city that
Walter Moynihan had been defeated
in the semifinals of the Junior golf
tournament at the Superior Club
course, Minneapolis. At the 9th hole
Walter had his opponent four up, but
tough luck the rest of the way caused
his defeat on the 18th hole. While
Walter did not win the championship
Sank Centre people are proud of the
splendid showing he made in this
tournament. He is a natural golfer,
but has never had the benefit of
professional training, while the young
man who defeated him belongs to
one of the large city clubs. The
young man defeating Walter was in
turn eliminated in the 36th hole final
Saturday morning.
