Gov. Burke Didn*t With Gov. John Burke of t'he state of North Dakota as umpire, the game of base (ball between the Willis'ton Fats and the iMinot Heavyweights, resulted in a tie score, 6 to 6, at the end of the seventh inning. iThe game was played Friday fore noon, and the governor called it at the end of the seventy inning on ac count of the lateness of the hour, and for the reason that he was becoming physically weak on account of the lack of nourishtaent. In other words, "Honest John" was getting mighty hungry. When the Governor was asked to act as umpire for the championship game of the United State's, (in its class) he refused at first to do so, saying that he was sure to lose 9 votes if he did so. When he was assured that the players would not take into consideration his decision on the dia mond, when voting for the Governor of North Dakota this fall, he recon sidered hes decision and decided to help the big fellows out. We don't mind telling the readers that "Hon est John" is an old time base ball player. He knows the game and the bluffers at Willisiton couldn't fool him at all, at all. Gov. Burke decided the momentous problems of state, in an honest, fearless "manner, tho we can't help thinking he gave us one or two rank decisions. However, we after wards learned that Col. Dank Gicen leaf (who is a staunch Democrat,) told Gov. Burke that it he thought he could make any votes by giving the Willis'tonites the best of the deal, he would Ax it all right with the Minot team and see that he didn't lose any votes down in .this neck of the woods. Well, the game was a good oue, as can be seen from the score. John Lowe went to bat first, and smashed the first ball that the Williston ligh tening operator in the pitcher's box sent over the home plate, in such a imaniner that CjDJ.

Martin Jacob son, who hadn't played ball for eigh teen years, broke the stick the first time he struck the ball. Too bad, for Martin would have made a home run easily. Leighton held down first base and caught a foul which was about to come down in the midst of some lady spectators. His catch was a wonderful one, but he came near ibeing mobbed. Butts, who sells drugs, and "Poor Food" Allen, the well known travel ing salesmen, distinguished them selves with some brilliant plays. Butts was once a ball player on the team of the University of Minnesota and hasn't forgotten all that he used to know about base ball. Feehan met with quite an accident at the bat. He missed the ball, liis feet shot out in the air, anil ho sprawled on his back. He was carried off on a stretcher. Butts met with a serious accident (to his base ball panties,) or at least he thought he had. Some practical joker tore a handkerchief in two and show ed Butts a piece of it. Butts borrow ed a coat and walked off the diamond. He soon discovered his mistake and resumed playing. The Minot boys looked too cute for 'anything with their floiy sack pants, long pink stockings, fancy gar ters decorated with small doll babies, land merry .widow hats, Tracy, of course, received the most of the bo fiuets, altho Manager Greenleaf, who is considered the handsomest lawyer in 'Minot, made a great hit. Williston is highly elated because they didn't get beaten this time and want to come to Minot in about two weeks for a return game.

His offices are modern in every iway. Dir. Gunz is a young, man of a very pleasing personality and he will make many friends. Minot is to be con gratulated upon securing a man of his ability to locate with us. Dr. Gunz is an old friend of Paul V. McCoy, the druggist, and it is partly owing to the success of Mr. McCoy in this city, that he decided to locate here. Franchise Passed at First Reading 4the city.wstth. the same kind of aproposition. City Attorney iBosard, who has giv en dthe proposed franchise much study, recommended that the fran chise be amended so as to compel the company to construct the pipe line from the gas fields to Minot or else, the franchise should be inoperative. This was done for the purpose of heading off any attempt of the com pany to merely secure the franchise in order to supply the city with arti ficial gas. A special committee, apipointed by the mayor, and consisting of Alder men Presoott, Dunn ell and Anderson, is going over the proposed franchise carefully.
