For several years Alex has had a

The winning of Wednesdays

confidence necessary to master
Glenwood Tuesday evening of next
week, unless their hats get too samll
for them. Confidence is a fine at
tribute until it is over-played. The
Herald editor believes the team will
keep their feet on the ground until
the end Of the season.
A commendable trait of this
years team is that they do not be-
come discouraged If they are few
points behind at the end Of the
first half. They are a tough team
to follow in the two final periods Of
the game.
The result Of last evenings game
entities the boys to a splendid turn
out when they meet Osakis Friday
evening in their last home game

are asked to notify Game War

It might be interesting to
note that an investigation of
the feed which pheasants get
this time of the year revealed
that seeds of the Sumac bush,
Elm buds, Pidgeon grass, grass
roots and foul seeds solely con-
tributed to their existence. This
was noted from a pheasant's
crop, the bird having flown in
to a wire fence, where it was

Willard Man
Met Terrible
Death Tues.
Glen Lee Mangled By Run
ming Motor of Stranded
Car In Snow Drift
WAS ALONE AT TIME
Head and Body Badly Bruised
and Lacerated-Funeral
At 2::3O P. M. Today

Glen Lee, well known farmer
residing on the west shore of Lake
Willard, met his death in an I'M
usual and unexplained manner
Tuesday afternoon, Feb. IA, 1888,
sometime between $3.50 and $50
P. M.
Mr.. Lee carried a number of
children from their homes to and
from the Willard school. He used a
Dodge sedan for this work.
He was due to arrive at the school
at $3.50 P. M, each day. He left
nome at $3.50 P. NJ, and started for
the village, driving across the lake
on the ice to save time and dis
lance.
When he had reached a point
about the middle of the lake and
about mile west from the village
his car became stalled in a snow
drift.
Apparently he took a blanket
from the car and attempted to
place it under the right rear wheel
of the car to secure traction for the
wheel.
The presumption is that in at
tempting to place the blanket und-
er the wheel as far as possible he
was caught by the chain on the
wheel and drawn foreward.
When he had not reached the viii
lage at little after 900 o'clock,
his oldest son, Robert, 16 years old,
a student at the Willard school start
ed for home across the lake to see
what had detained his father.
He was Mortified to find him held
by the car with the wheel continu-
ally pounding his head and body.
He managed to extricate his faith
er and when he got him released
found that he was dead.
The right side of his head was
badly crushed; the right arm was
badly bruised and lacerated and
there was a cash on the shoulder
cut to the bone. The right leg
was also badly bruised and cut and
contained a cash to the bone.

evening by a score Of 22-15.
When these two teams met in
this city several weeks ago the Wis
itors caught Sank Centre with two
regulars out of the line up--one in
eligible, the other a victim Of the
flu.
In its write-up of the game the
Herald stated that the poorer team
won.
When the season opened Coach
Stub" Olson had two veterans, Pat
Dubois at center and Iwinski at
forward or guard, to build around.
These vets were the peer of any
other men onsany of the squads Of
the district.But-it was generally
conceded that they couldn't win the
games alone.
Sank Centre opened the season
against Swanvil,e with only few
days practice while the visitors
were in mid season form as they
had not faced a heavy football
scedule. The showing Of the locals
was not promising. They lost in
short order to Alex and Glenwood.
Then the younger men on the
squad began to realize how this
game Of basketball was palyed.
They haven't lost single game
away from home this season.
Alex is taller, man for man, than
Sank Centre. Last evenings game
opened rather slowly. In the first
half Sank Centre had the ball In
Alexis territory most Of the time
but they couldn't connect for bas-
kets and were missing the free
throws. The half ended with Sank
