Pine CITY MARSHAL
ILLUSTRATES ROBBERY
Corner Stone to be Laid for New
Methodist Church. Court in
Session.-Large Guiding Funer.
al is Held.

Marshal Biedermann of Pine City,
succeeded in frustrating an attempted
burglary last Thursday night when
he engaged in pistol dual with some
burglars who were attempting to rob
the Pine City Mercantile store. AS
the marshal was walking west from
the depot his attention was attracted
to noises coming from behind the
mercantile store. He approached and
was convinced that a robbery was
taking place when one of the men
fired a shot, evidently a warning to
the others in the store. Marshal
Biedermann then started to shoot and
emptied his revolver in the direction
of the robbers, who also returned the
fire. However, all fled across the
street to waiting cars that stood in
front of the Pennington residence,
and in a short time were speeding
south on highway No. L. No goods
were taken from the store, but in a
few minutes the loss would have been
heavy as the entire stock of silks and
many suits had been brought to the
window through which the robbers
entered and it would have been short
work for them to have filled the wait
ing automobiles.

A strenuous week has been put in
by the district court in session at
Pine, City, during the past week, sew
era cases being disposed of by the
judge and jury.
In the case of Klein's Clothing store
against John Roach, the jury decided
in favor of the plaintiff. In the
case of Joseph ]. Uher versus Joseph
Jaglowski, defendant, the jury return
ed verdict in favor of the defendant,
and $500 was awarded him. This
case was the result of claims to both
parties to some hay which defendant
cut on land belonging to the plaintiff,
but which he had previously been au-
thorized to cut by an agent for the
previous owner.
In the case of Charles Eisenreich
versus Alfred Anderson, a suit arising
out of an automobile collision be-
tween the parties on the road between
Friesland and Sandstone. the verdict
was mo cause for action.
Another case of considerable in
terest is that of Fred Sanberg versus
the G. ~ Railway company, N. P.
Railway company, and Street Rail-
way company of Superior. This ac-
tion was brought by plaintiff due to
curing at Superior last fall, when a
Great Northern train hit a street car,
killing several people and injuring
many. There was strong array of
legal talent on both sides and volumi-
nous testimony introduced, the main
problem seeming to be that of proper
ly placing the responsibility for the
accident, whether on the railway COM
panies or on the street car company.
One of the largest funerals that
have been held in Henriette for some
time was that of Fritz G. Guiding
whose accidental death was mentioned
in last weeks American.
Mr.. Quiding's death was caused by
the caving in of a root cellar, which
he was attempting to tear down. The
cellar was located in the pasture and
for some time the cattle had been
tramping over it. Thinking that some
of them might fall in, Mr. Guiding
decided to tear the cellar down and
fill it in.
While thus at work alone, he in
some manner slipped and fell into
the cellar being buried beneath the
falling dirt and timbers. He was not
found until nearly three hours later,
when life had already passed.
Fritz Gotlif Guiding was born at
Helsenberg, Sweden, January 1, 1854.
He grew to young manhood in Sweden

ILL. COMMISSION
GRANTS LICENSE
IN HEAVY BOUT

CHICAGO. Aug. 8 R)-George F..
Getz, the millionaire coal operator and
promoter of fights for the civic glory
of Chicago, was given permission to-
day by the Illinois state athletic COM
mission to stage the Dempsey -Tunney
heavyweight battle in Soldiers field,
Thursday night, September 90
THE commission, in addition to ap-
proving the date, also approved the
scale of ticket prices of $40, $50, $25,
$40, SIS, $40 and SIS, all prices to in
clude war tax.
The commission however, decided
that it would need to inspect the blue
print of the field before Tex Rickard
could place the tickets on sale. The
commissioners wanted to know where
the various priced seats will be 10
Gated before they would permit any to
be sold. The diagram Of the proposed
seating arrangements is now being
prepared by engineers for Rickard and
the South Park board. The plans
probably will be presented to the COM
mission at, its regular meeting next
Tuesday.
John c.. Righeimer, chairman of the
commission, said that Getz' applica-
ton for the promoters license would
be granted just as soon as the secre-
tary of state approved the bond of
5000 900 which has already been filed.
Righeimer said he was ready to grant
the license and also approve the seat
ing arrangements, provided the price
scale by seat sections is satisfactory.
After .Getz license as a promoter is
granted, he will be. asked to round up
Dempsey and Tunney for the purpose
of signing a new set of articles for the
Illinois commissions inspection.
This line of procedure will be neces-
sary to conform with the Illinois box
ing law which provides that the pro-
moter must be resident of the state.
No difficulty is anticipated over this
issue, because both Dempsey and
TunneY are now under contract to
Rickard and he will produce them next
week.

DELANEY READY
FOR BOUT WITH
.UZCUDUN THURS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9, GA slip
of paper, tucked carelessly in. Jack
Delaney's pocket as he broke camp
for his 15-round battle with Pauline
Uzcudun, took Tex Richards mind
completely away from the heavyweight
scrap in Chicago for at least few
minutes today.
The paper-Delaney's formal resig-
nation OF the ght-heavyweight
Championship be posted with
the New York Athletic commission
Thursday morning or Jack will not
be allowed to enter the ring with
the Spanish heavyweight at the
Yankee stadium that night, the COM
mission ruled today. e 2
Although Pete Reilly two weeks
ago received permission to withdraw
his charge from the light-heaVyweight
ranks, the board requested that the
resignation be put in writing. Some
time ago, they said, Johnny Dundees
featherWeight title was renounced by
his manager only to be reclaimed
by the fighter on the grounds that
= he knew nothing at all about the
supposed abdication. Johnny'S plea
was overruled bu; not forgotten.
Despite a boil on his left forearm
and a slightly swollen. left thumb,
Pauline wound up heavy preparations
today in good physical shape for the
fray that probably will determine an
opponent for Jack Sharkey in the
first major heavyweight clash OF the
winter season. The powerful Span
lard, who knocked out Harry Wills in
his last start, weighed only 189 IL
today, several pounds less than at any
previous point in his American in
vaSion e3t5
Delany expects to weigh lit, two
pounds over the light-heavyweight
limit. The injuries to Jacks hand and
Elbow, which necessitated an opera
ton following the losing battle with
Jimmy Maloney here last winter have
completely healed, his manager de-
clared, and there will be absolutely
no alibis this time"

CHICAGO, Aug. 9, tR)-Brooklyn
sliced Chicago's lead in the Nation
al to three games today by forcing
the Cubs to split double header
while the Pirates we're defeating the
Giants. The Bruins shut out the
Robins in the opener by to 0 but
lost the aftermath 5 to 4. An over
flow crowd, estimated by President
Veeck of Chicago to have been close
to 10000 was on hand and made
necessary the enforcement of ground
rules.
Jess Petty and Hal Carlson hooked
up in a pitching duel in the first
game, Carlson gaining the edge to
turn his ninth victory for the Cubs
which stretched Chicago's winning
streak to also. 1t was the ninth
shutout for the Robins this season.
Thus far the Cubs have won 13 out
of Is starts against Brooklyn.
Guy Bush was pounded hard in the
fourth and fifth innings of the clos
ing fray when punched hits gave the
Robins all their runs. Clark replaced
Doak when Cubs rally threatened

Comments on the Game
''Buck" Milvitch seems to have
plenty of stuff behind the. mask and
has developed into a first class re-
ceiver. The Copper league team
could use catcher of his class.
B. Holt, at first base, handles him
self like veteran and takes nasty
cut at the ball. He lifted one over
right field that had plenty OF dis
tance. Fast fielding by Rivera cut
this lusty wallop to a triple.
Jack Wilson looked better yesterday
than he has for some time. His
experience on the State Teachers
college team has rounded him out
into a fast infielder. =
Potatoes" Pereya, the fleet out
fielder on the All Star team of the
twilight league did some clever base
running in the fifth inning of yes
terday's game He had the De MolaJ
team wondering where he would stop
He surprised everyone, fans included
when he made clean steal o.
home.
McRae, shortstop, had a bad day
in the field but more than made
IN for it with the stick. He polec
out two nice hits, both OF, which
scored runs and drew two walks II
four trips to the plate.
Les Miller, the keystone sacker TO
/ the Douglas team, fielded II chances
without skip and drove out nea
