SAC0 Wins LAST GAME
FROM WOLVES, 1921

II was a speedy and exciting
game that Saco and the Wolves
played at the high school gym on
Thursday night. Saco has a well
balanced, woodworking team
that uses the "All for one and one
for all" system of team work.
They deserve full credit for their
victory. They won by playing to-
gether every minute. with good
work under the baskets and on
free throws. The score was excit-
ingly close all through the game
but the Wolves always trailed, fin
ishing on the short end of a 1921
count. The final whistle had bare
ly begun it's blast when Courch-
enc shot a long one from the side
and it went through-too late to
count.
The Wolves basket work on
the longer tries was good, every
man, Clark, Nelson, Larson, Weeks
and Courchene scored points. But
the guarding left something to be
desired at times and the team
play came apart, in spots. Fouls
called frequently and Saco
was clever at dropping them
through. Brandon and Nichols Of

Weather Chief Gives Inside
Dope on Our Mild Weather

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3,-Skating
isn't so good this winter, but coal
bills are smaller, because there is
a lot of heavy air over the Rocky
Mountains that refuses to move.
This Is one of the warmest and
dryest winters In a long time, says
c. L. Mitchell, chief forecaster of
the United States weather bureau,
for the reason that an area of high
pressure has been hanging " the
vicinity Of Utah and Idaho since
the middle of November.
This area of dense heavy air,
Mitchell explained, keeps the cold
air of the arctic regions away from
most OF the United States as eff

direct from the north and chill the

(Sidney HERALD


One of the most startling dis
closures yet in the Haven murder
case at Shafer has come out in
Sidney in the statement of Eli
Tweden, former mail carrier out
Of Watford City serving the Hav-
en- home, that he had a CONVERSE
ton with James F. Bannon, father
of the confessed murderer, Charles
Bannon, who was lynched by a
mob at Shafer last Wednesday
night. In which the elder Bannou
claimed he had definite instruct
ions from Haven on the eve OF his
departure with his family for the
west regarding his farms of which
the Bannons had possession.
Mr.. Tweden had been mail car
rier on the Watford-Banks route
for three years, retiring from the
work last July. He wanted to get

The combined effect of the high

last December, the supply was in
adequate to meet all the calls for
garments that have come in. There

for these ages can be used. In
spite of the fact that the winter

need.

dishes, cooking utensils or cutlery
in disable condition, but which they
are willing to part with, bring
them to the welfare room across
from the Liberty theatre. Many

hitting the consolidation Of two
or more counties; and three gen.
