Patriotic Bodies Do
Fine Work at Cemetery
Remove Huge Amount of Dirt
Blown In by Recent Severe
Dust Storms.

During the recent severe dust
storms a huge amount of dirt was
blown onto the graves along the
fence at Greenwood cemetery. The
task of removing the dirt was a
problem to the cemetery asocia-
ton, as none of the funds were
available for that purpose. A call
for aid was sent out, and both the
Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars responded.
On Wednesday evening of last
week the Vets went to the GENE
try and removed about rs loads of
dirt, which had covered the first
two rows of graves along the
fence. Trucks for this work We're
donated by Louis Lovik, of Swift &
Co., ]. w. Huber, of the Lampert
Lumber Co., and Mr.. Gardner
It Is said that in places almost two
feet of dust covered the graves.
The officers of the cemetery as
ISOLATION are very grateful to the
Vets and those who donated the
trucks. It is this kind of work
that makes the service organiza-
tons of such great Importance in
the community.

Minneapolis If Needed
REDSFLOCKING TOCTTY
Labor Difficulty Between En-.
ployees and Truck Drivers
Likely to Be Settled

At 11;45 a. M, this Thurs
day morning the indications
were that the strikers turned
down the suggestion of the
Federal Labor Board, demand
ing that unless their demands
were acceeded to within q short
time, increased activities would
be resumed. The Herald pre-
diets that Co. M will be Or
ordered to the scene of the
trouble before this paper goes
to press.
Sank Centre became identified
with the truck drivers strike in
Minneapolis last evening at mid
night when Capt. r. L. Scott, of
Co. NJ, 2O6th Regt., of this city, re-
ceived telephone orders from Ad-
jutant General Walsh to moboliZe
his men at the Sank Centre Arm
DRY at once, and await orders.
There were hurry up calls sent
out for men living in the country
and adjacent villages. At 500 a.
m. there was a 100 per cent mobili-
zation-66 men and officers.
AS the Herald went to press at
II 100 a. M, this Thursday morning
orders to move had not been re-
ceived.
There is every indication that
through the mediation of the Fed
eral Labor board the difficulties ex-
listing between the truck drivers
and their employers will be settled.
This strike has not only incon-
venienced the public, caused a loss
Of large sums in wages and to bus
mess, resulting in the injury OF
scores of pickets, special officers,
policemen and innocent bystanders,
but a well known young Minneap-
obs business man who was serv-
ing as a special officer has lost his
life.
A 24-hour truce was signed Tues
day after several disorders in the
vicinity of the Market place ON
First and Second avenues north,
Sixth and Seventh streets.
Negotiations not being completed
the truce was continued Wednes-
day evening for another 24-hours.
Meanwhile Reds and other unde-
sirable citizens were fiocking to
Minneapolis by the hundreds for
the purpose Of fomenting trouble.
Gov. Olson gave orders for the
mobilization Of the National
Guard. He stated they would be
held in readiness for the purpose Of
aiding the police in maintaining
law and order should necessity re-
quire.

City Tuesd'y
Secure $119 In Silver and
Currency at Steiner Lum-
Der Co. Office
PROFESSIONALS WORK
Small Amount Taken From
Farmers Shipping. Asso-
citation Cash Register

Sank Centre took on metropolit-
an airs sometime Friday night
when robbers forced their way in
to the office of the Steiner Lum-
Der Company in the south part of
the city, prying the rear office
window open and made a neat
haul of cash and currency.
The safe on the first floor, an old
one, is never locked, and no money
or checks are kept there.
When the new nffice building
was erected a couple of years ago,
Mr.. Steiner installed a modern
fireproof vault in the basement.
Any money not deposited at the
close of the days business was
placed in the vault.
Mr.. Steiner was out Of the city
Friday and no deposits were made.
The vault contained $119, about
$4,000 of which was in silver, the
balance in currency.
There was one check for over
81, 900 and several smaller ones,
These did not interest the robbers.
But-the money did and they
carted it away.
Leaving the Steiner office they
went across the street to the Of
fee of the Farmers Shipping AS
ISOLATION. The safe here was un-
locked. None of the papers in the
safe were disturbed. The cash
register was broken into. They re-
ceived $1.54 for their labor at the
Shipping Association office.
The work has all the earmarks
Of professionals. Three strange
men were seen in the city late Fri
day. These fellows may or may
not have been the robbers. At any
rate the description of them is
very vague.
They evidently wore gloves at
their work because there Is not
the slightest sign Of finger prints.
It is reported that stores in Hol-
dingford were broken into on the
same evening.

Sank Centre 2; Osakis "a

A comedy of errors and bone
heads caused the terrible downfall
of Andys Colts Sunday when Osa-
kis busted them off to the tune of
"a to 2. Dahlem, on the mound for
Osakis, had the locals eating out
of his hand until Manager Sohle
saw fit to relieve him. Baker, who
was on the mound for the locals,
had been i'll with the flu the past
week and was out of sorts, but
nevertheless, did his best until re-
ieved by Swift in the sixth frame.
In the first inning Osakis made
five scores on four errors and five
hits and they followed in the sec
ond frame with three more runs on
a walk, one error and two hits. Osa-
kis made another run in the third
and were BANKED in the fourth.
The fifth proved very disastrous for
Sank Centre. Two Osakis men had
been tanned, when Dahlem hit a
foul along the third base line, and
while the locals were waiting for
his honor 1.-The Jumps" to call it,
Dahlem had circled the bases for
a run and was called safe. Swift
went in to pitch in the 9Th and
yielded five runs in three innings.
He allowed nine hits to the heavy
hitters from our sister lake city.
The box score will tell the story.
Andys Colts scored one run in
the fifth and one in the sixth. Pat
Dubois hit a long drive over first
base to right field which looked like
a homer, but was nipped off the
fence by Tiny" Wallentiny, fleet
footed fielder. Osakis has the
smoothest team the locals have met
this year, and they will no doubt,
go a long way in the pennant race.
The box score Is as follows; read

A classic in baseball circles has
been booked for the Stearns Coun-
ty Fair for the afternoon Of July
Fourth, when the semi-professional
team from st. Cloud will meet the
Central Minnesota All-Star team.
The st. Cloud aggregation is a
fast one, probably the best base
ball team in Central Minnesota. The
All-Stars will be composed of the
best men picked from each team Of
the Central Minnesota League.
These players will be selected from
the records and box scores, and will
be chosen for their hitting and
fielding ability. The pitchers, three
of them, will be selected from their
records of games won, etc.
The All-Star team should prove
to be a very good one, for there are
many players in the league, who
are capable Of playing in semi-pro-
fessional baseball. The choice Of
players for the All-Star team will
be made on or about July LIST. Re
CARELESS of where any of the teams
of the Central Minnesota League
play that day, at least one of their
best men will be sent to form the
all-star aggregation
This feature will be well-worth
the price of admission alone.
