BOTH OUTFITS MISS SETUPS
Imps Ride Rough Shod Over
Turtle Lake, 26 to 6, ia
Preliminary

A scrappy crew of Darlington
youngsters was unable to cope with
the play Of Eddie Agre and his De-
mon assistants and went down to 26
to defeat before the Bismarck ag-
gregation on the courts of the World
War Memorial building Saturday
night.
The game marked the second VIC
tory of the evening for the Capital
City, the Imps having rode rough
shod over Turtle Lake to take a pre-
liminary game, 26 to s.
Once again it was Eddie Agre who
led the Bismarck cohorts to victory.
The dininutive Bismarck leader
paced the field in scoring to find the
loop for six field goals in addition to
providing the outstanding perform
ance of the evening on the floor.
The Demons were a smoother func-
tioning outfit than they were q week
ago against Hebron but they had dif-
ticulty with their shots. Both teams
missed a number of setups but 1t was
the Bismarck aggregation that was
guilty of the greater number OF err
rors During the first half, the De-
mons booted at least half dozen
chances that looked like certain
counters.
Finnigan Looked Good
Finnigan. who was paired with Agre
at forward, was second high point
man. with a total of six points. The
rangv Irishman has exhibited consid-
erabie Improvement and he and Eddie
Arre make an effective scoring COM
bination.
Green and Schlickenmeyer worked
hard at the guard positions to keep
the Darlington attack at bay ana 70
limit the scoring attempts Of the WIS.,
itors to two shots from the floor.
Coach George Hays sent nine men
into action using Murphy, Normle
ACRE. Stackhouse, and Manney as re-
placements for his starters.
Winterer and Baker lived up to ad.
vance notices and were outstanding
for Darlington. They provided thu
snap in the invaders attack and eacl
connected for field goal and q tre'
throw.
Visitors Start Strong
The visitors looked as though the!
might extend the Demons 70 TIT
limit during the first part Of tn
game, battling with them on ever
terms during the first quarter.
After Eddie Agre had found tn
basket for two points to start tn
scoring fireworks, Baker came baci
with field goal to even the count
The Bismarck captain scored agail
to put the locals in the lead, to J
which had to content the locals dur
ing the remainder Of the period.
The Demons hit their stride in tn
second to outdistance the opposition
during the remainder Of the game
They chalked up nine points in tn
second stanza, six in the third, an.
seven In the fourth.
The Imps had too much for tn
Turtle Lake aggregation who wer
buried under q 26 to 6 score. Bol

Adams Succumbs to Heart
Disease e

Howard S. Adams, 27 of Froid
dropped dead while blowing with
a tractor last Saturday afternoon
at the farm occupied jointly by
himself and his father William
Adams, one of Roosevelt COun-
tvs commissioners.
Through some unaccountable cause
the engine stopped dead before the
plows passed. over the dead man., and
could not have moved more than two
or three feet after he dropped, as his
body was not wedged under the plows
and he showed only a few bruises on
his head and face. DR.. Darlan1 who
has been treating him was called and
he pronounced the cause as heart
failure.
G. E. Fulkerson of the Fulkerson-
Nelson Mortuary at Plentywood was
called shortly after the body was
found by his wife, and his father who
was out inspecting county roads was
located at Culbertson and both arriv-

STORM DESTROY
GRAY SONS HOME

Richard Grayson who with his
family live on the high hill to
the south of Antelope, were in
the small house they occupied af-
ter their two story home burned
down the winter of 1880. With
MIR. and Mrs GraysOn were their
little baby and another little
girl.
Without any idea of impending dis
aster, the cyclonic wind swept dowr
upon this little home and lifted the
building away from the floor, leav-
ing the family practically unhurt.
They rushed to the basement of the
former home, where one corner hac
been rooted over. They had no soon
er sought this shelter when along
came a stove and fell through the
roof. Mrs. Grason was afadn badly
bruised by boards striking her, but
happily nothing real serious. The 9th.
er three escaped all injury.
This time they sought shelter ir
the barn which had withstood the
high wind, and they were forced to
remain there for the night.

Others who are waiting to see the
outcome OF the first case are the
Farmers State Bank at Bainville

Chester Arthur $50 and one to J.. H.
Herman for $500.

Saddle STEALING
LANDS BOY IN JAIL

John Steninger, 20 year old
Austrian, but possibly a Canadi-
an citizen received 80 daysi in
the county Jail Tuesday, after
pleading guilty to stealing a
stock saddle from Herbert Bolke;
the penalty being imposed by
Judge Belanski.
This young fellow had been be-
friended by Bolke while Steninger
was working for Adolph Schultz. He
had a horse but no sadNe and so stole
Boxes saddle last Sunday and beat
it across the line. Sheriff Madsen was
notified and had the young man To-

across the boundary again. Bolke got
the saddle and the little sneak thief
is now going to work it out at every
obtainable job the sheriff's force can
find for him around the Jail.

out such application-blank, giving the

however, the application is sent in to
the central office in the Courthouse,

INJURIES Received.
in ACCIDENT FATAL
TO Il. DONALDSON
Died Wednesday; Funeral on
Saturday 10 a. m. from
St. Joseph's Church

Harold e. Donaldson died at
the Sheridan Memorial hospital
here at $3.50 a. m. Wednesday,
July %, as a direct result of the
automobile crash and fire on
July. 9Th, about 2 miles north of
Raymond, and at which time he
with his wife and baby were saw
from instant death by Kenneth
Collins, a Raymond farmer who
rescued them from the burning
car in which they were trapped
The three unfortunate people were
rushed to the hospital here and every
possible aid rendered. 1t was believed
that Mr.. Donaldson who had his right
foot badly burned, might possibly
have a stiff foot, or at the worst pos
sibly have to undergo an amputation
of this foot, but no n realized his
condition was so serious or that his
life was in question, until a consul
tation of surgeons was held last
week. DR.. Hall then called in DR..
Jones of Williston and Saturday mite
in a desperate effort to save his life,
his left leg was amputated just below
the knee. Tuesday two blood trans
fusions were resorted to but without
avail, and the end came suddenly on
Wednesday morning.
Grief over the condition of his wife
and baby are thought to have on
tributed to Harold's failure to build
up strength, as he continued to be-
come weaker with each passing day,
until the laft messenger came yester-
day morning and called him away
from his bed of pain and grief, and
he is at rest in that better land from.
where he will watch over those VII
remain to mourn his passing. sSa
Harold Donaldson was a young man
of fine character and when not at work
as a mechanic in his fathers garage
he loved nothing better tim to be at
work about his home and to be with
his wife and baby, or else with his IA
mily visiting at his parents home.
He was born January 80, 1908 at
Homer, Minnesota. His early life vas
spent at Culbertson, and while yet
a child came to Plentywood with his
parents Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Donald
son, and he received his grade and
high school education and grew to
manhood here.
In the spring of 1923 he was united
in marriage to Miss Margaret Shin
ners, and to this union was born one
son, Edward Otto, who is now / year
and 7 months old. Besides his wife
and little son, he is survived by his
parents, one brother, Leo and many
relatives more distantly removed.
The remains are now at rest in the
home of his parents Mr.. and Mrs. OF
to Donaldson and the funeral will &C.
cur Saturday forenoon at 10 o'cock
under the auspices of the Knights Of
Columbus, of which he vas a men,
Der, from the St. Joseph's church
with Rev. Father w. P. ORourke say
ing the last rites.
This tragic death of one of Plen-
tywood's fine young men, coupled
with all the sadness and suffering
surrounding same, has cast a pail Of
gloom over this entire community,
and the sympathy of all goes out to
the Donaldson and Simmer families
in this hour of distress.
The funeral will be under the dir
ection of the Fulkerson-Nelson Nor
tuary.
