HINCKLEY GETS
ANOTHER CHANCE
Juniors Were Defeated I'm District
Meet by Ineligible Minneapolis
Team; VIII Play AnOka.

The Tenth District junior baseball
tournament was held at Cambridge
Sunday, July 10, teams competing for
the district championship were North
Side Minneapolis, Hinckley, Milaca,
and Anoka.
The first game in the morning was
called at 10 o'clock between Hinckley
and Minneapolis, resulting in a final
score of SO in favor of Minneapolis.
After lunch Anoka and Milaca crossed
bats, Anoka winning Is to 3. Mime
apolis and Anoka played Immediately
for the championship. The first four
innings were very even with neither
team scoring. After that Minneapolis
ran i'm IS scores while Anoka was
getting 2, thus winning the champion
ship.

However, Wednesday Frank Nc
Laughlin, manager of the Hinckley
Legion Junior Baseball team was
notified by the district athletic di-
rector that Minneapolis had two men,

played against Hinckley Sunday morn
ing and again with Anoka in the aft
ernoon, thus eliminating Minneapolis
from the state tournament at Still
water, Sunday, July 26. This makes
it necessary for Anoka and Hinckley
to play a game to decide which will
represent the Tenth district at the
state tournament. 1t is expected this
game will be played at Cambridge
Thursday, July %, at o'clock in the
afternoon. This should prove to be a
very good game as Hinckley and Ano-
ka are evenly matched, Anoka win
ming all games this season except
with North Minneapolis, and Hinck-
ley winning all games played until
the district tournament when they
lost to Minneapolis. The battery for
Hinckley in the tourney game was
Gebhart and Raffe, both playing a
splendid game. Hinckley's batting
was weak.
A large crowd from Hinckley went
down to see the games and gave the
local juniors all support possible.

First Postmaster at Brdhanl,
DanelU0Od is Still Aggressive
A. N. Challeen, Pine City, Was Bra
ham General Merchant Before
Railroad Was Built.

A man who has had a varied bust
ness experience in different places in
eastern Minnesota for the past 4S
years, starting in the general mer-
ckandise business for himself at the
age of %, is A. M. Challeen of Pine
City, who Monday celebrated his 10th
birthday. Being aggressive and with
a determination to carry through his
plans Mr.. Challeen has been a sue
cessful business man, and though he
has attained the age of three score
and ten he is still very keen and
knows his business from "A to r.
Born at EIDE, Dahlsland, Sweden, on
July 20, 1861, Mr.. Challeen came to
America at the age of Is in 1879,
direct to Rush City, in Chisago coun-
ty where his father had already lived
for some years and had homesteaded
on "a acres on the west shore of
Rush lake. His mother came to
America the following year. Young
Challeen was soon employed in the
general merchandise store of j. F.
Ramberg. Asked if he had learned
any English in his. native country he
said no." but that did not make any
difference because in those days they
were practically all Swedes around
Rush City so he got along very nicely
in the store. Challeen clerked there
for four years and whatever success
he has had in business later he at
tributes to the good early training
he received under Mr.. Ramberg who
passed away about twenty years ago.
The original Challeen homestead
in Chisago county, secured in about
1870, is still in the hands of the fam
lily, being owned by A. M. Challeen.
The father who secured the home
stead passed away in his best years
in 1883, while the mother lived to the
ripe old age of 80, passing away at
Pine City in 1925.
First Business Venture.
In 1888, at the age of %, Challeen
ventured into business for himself,
opening up a general store in a COM
munity which was then known as
Danewood. 1t was started as a Dan
ish settlement, but there is now only
a few Danish families left. The 10
cation is in the northwest corner of
Chisago county, the southwest cor
ner of Pine county and touching also
Isanti county. The Danewood post
office was established in the store
and Challeen was the postmaster.
However he stayed there but a year,
selling out to Pratt & Mccormack.
In 1884 he moved a few miles west
and established a general merchandise
store at the point where Braham is
now located. This was 13 years be-
fore the railroad came through, the
Brook Park cutoff of the Great North
ern to the Twin Cities being built in
1897, year after Challeen sold out
at Braham. About 1888 the Bra
ham post-office was established in
the store and again Mr.. Challeen be-
came a postmaster. His store was
located on the corner of farm owned
by Abraham Swanson. The name of
the postoffice originated from this
name, the farmers given name being
shortened to Braham.
Has Four Sons.
In 1887, while conducting the Bra
ham store, Mr.. Challeen was united
in marriage to Miss Lena Mattson
who passed away in 1894. Two chill

COAL TEST TRIAL
| ON IN POLICE COURT
Dealers Counsel Argues
Right to Sell 1000 Pound
Tons Under Law.

The test case to decide whether
local coal merchants have been violating
the District law for standard weights
and measures by selling coal in 1000
pound units instead by the long ton Of
2,240, went on trial today before Judge
P. Mcmahon in Police Court.
James E. ColIofiower, prominent local
coal dealer. listed as the defendant,
ives charged with selling two 2,0O0-
pound units of coal to an attache OF the
District Government in violation of an
act OF Congress which sets the standard
unit for coal as a ton of 2.240 pounds.
William A. Roberts, special assistant
corporation counsel. appeared for the
District, with Attorneys Ringgold Hart
and Maurice Rosenberg representing
the coal merchant.
Dealers Right Cited.
Rosenberg, in an hours argument in
which he cited a score of cases to
Judge Mcmahon. commended that a
dealer has a right to sell coal in 1000
pound quantities as long as he clearly
designates to the purchaser the num-
tains, and as long as the said unit is
I'VE are allowed to sell coal In smaller
quantities, such as 500 pounds" Rosen-
berg stated. "as long as the number
of pounds the order contains is desig-
mated. Why should we not be allowed
to sell 1T in 2.000-pound quantities and
charge for it by the pound If the pur-
chaser is shown the number of pounds
he is securing?"
2,000 Pounds More Convenient.
Rosenberg said that it is more con-
venient for coal to be sold in 1000
pounG units and, showed that this
quantity is recognized as standard in
both Virginia and Maryland, as well
as when the coal is billed from the
mines.
Roberts answered that the law clearly
sets the standard unit as 2.24O pounds
as a ton in the sale of coal, and any
smaller amounts to be sold must be
translated In terms as a fraction CT
this ton, either by weight or price.
1t is expected that Judge Mcmahon
will give decision this afternoon, and
whether the District OF the ccal mer-
chants are declared the victor the case
viii be taken to the Court of Appeals
and perhaps to the United States Su-
preme Court for final decision.
