Sunday's Game Falls to The Local
Club, the Score Being Nine
In its Favor.
The Boys Get down to Business and
Play a Game With Very
Few Errors.
The Minneapolis Grays went down
to defeat in Sunday's game, the home
club having pulled itself together in
something like its old-time shape. It
has played good ball all the season,
but in several of its games some un
lucky error has caused its defeat.
Four errors are marked against it in
this game, but they were not made at
critical times when scores could be
made on them. As in every game
played this season, Woods led in the
number of men struck out, having
nine to his credit to the down river
twirler five. He pictehed one wild
ball, and so did the pitcher for the
Grays. The Grajs have to answer
for eight errors. Woods and Carlson
each hit the ball for two bases. The
down river aggregation was out
classed in almost every particular and
while the game was a good one it was
not close enough to elicit the wild en
thusiasm that is generally manifest
among the lovers of the game. Fol
lowing is the score.

turned by the assessor, but nothing
out of the ordinary took place with
the exception of a little tilt it had
with C. H. Rines. When his name on
the list was reached he was found to
be assessed for $200 worth of propertj.
The board thought he was worth con
siderable more than that, so concluded
to raise the assessment to-$1.000. Ac
cording to the provisions of law Mr.
Rines was notified to appear before
the board to '-show cause if any there
be" why he should not be pronounced
guilty of owning that much property.
In answer to the summons Mr. Rines
appeared at the office of the recorder,
puffing from the exercise of climbing
the stairs, and as he says, had his
remaining breath knocked out of him
by the announcement of the raise. All
protestations were useless on his part
and the ruthless board allowed the
figures to remain which accuse our
worthy townsman of owning within
the village limits one thousand dol
lars' worth of personal property. As
usual there are claims that some have
escaped just taxation, but the judg
ment of the board was supreme for
the time and the matter is up to the
countj commissioners.
Child Lost at Sandstone.
On Thursdaj, June 22, a two-and-a-
half ear old son of Martin Benson, a
farmer Ihing six miles from Sand
stone wandered away from the house
and hunting parties have not been
able to find an/ trace of him. Three
hundred citizens of Sandstone joined
in the search. The Duluth News Tri
bune of the 24th notes the failure to
find the child and sa\s:
"Bloodhounds owned by the Supe
rior police department were brought
there on the train and turned loose at
daj break. Given the scent of the lost
child's clothing, they worked for
hours in the woods but accomplished
little or nothing. Heavy rains falling
last night and early this morning
washed out the barefooted child's
tracks and the dogs were unable to
follow his trail. All the searchers
have returned to town leaving the
heartbroken settlers alone in their sor
row.
"Many of the foremost citizens
openly express the opinion that the
lost child has been either kidnapped or
murdered, and arrangements are be
ing perfected tonight to start workers
on new clues found this afternoon, and
which tend toward the belief that the
child has been foully dealt with. Al
though bears and wolves are numer
ous in the district where the child is
lost old hunters and trappers scout
th#dea that the little tot has been de
vo: by wild beasts. Only wolves
wit young will attack human beings
'is time of year. Tracks of bears
been seen in the vicinity of Ben
soi home but this is not unusual
fudge Parish and Postmaster
a went to the settlement this after
noob to interview neighbors who have
expressed open enmity for the Benson
family and have not returned up to a
late hour tonight. These neighbors
refused to give the searching parties
any information, although tracks of
the missing child could be traced to a
point within a few rods of their house.
The bloodhounds lost the child's trail
at this same point.''

Fires in the illage.
In order that people may know the
location of fires in the village a sys
tem of whistles has been formulated
by the village council and fire depart
ment, as follows: For fires south of
First street, commonly called Depot
street, the whistle will give the fire
screech and then one blast of the reg
ular whistle. For fires north of First
street the fire screech will be followed
by two blasts of the regular whistle.
For fires on the north side of the river
the fire screech will be followed by
three blasts of the regular whistle.
As every run made by the fire depart
ment is expensive people are requested
to use judgment in turning in alarms.
The burning out of a chimney with no
danger to the building should not
cause an alarm to be sent in.

The march which was made by com
panies C, A and I from Camp
Lakeview last Friday furnished a
great amount of work and amusement
which was not down on the program
when the boys started out. The road
taken led in a westerly direction up
one of the numerous "coolies" which
lead up between the hills from lower
plateau to the level country. These
coolies are from four to six miles in
length and are all up hill in going
out. The four companies marched
about ten miles and established camp
Gerlach, where they stayed all night.
Before the return march on Saturday
the officers planned a sham battle
and companies A and I were sent
ahead under command of Major
Resche, their part being to form an
ambush and capture companies and
as they went down the road. Capt.
Little, as the ranking officer, had com
mand of companies and and the
officers of the two companies held a
council of war in which it was decided
to carry the war into Africa and in
stead of marching tamely down to
captivity to turn the tables and cap
ture the ambushed troops. Scouts
were sent out who located the enemy
in the brush at the side of the road
under the hills. A decoy squad was
sent along the road while the main
force followed the crest of the hills
until they were enabled to look down
on the enemy whose whole attention
was occupied in watching the decoy
squad. When all was ready orders
were issued to charge and down the
hill went and G, through brush,
over stones and gullies, through sticky
mud and pools of water all the time
keeping up a rapid fire of muskets,
and arriving immediately in the rear
of the ambush before the doughty
soldiers in the brush were aware of it.
Major Resche with company A and
of
I were
captured, but part ofCOI the latter saved
themselves by ignominious flight.
The prisoners were compelled to join
in the march back to camp through
the rain and sticky mud, where all
arrived in a condition to lead an ob
server to readily believe a real battle
might have been fought. The ma
neuver was greatly enjoyed by all,
but company G, our own home, militia
boys feel particularly jubilant over
being the heroes of the battle.
Company Shoots Well.
Company made some excellent
scores in rifle practice at Camp Lake
view and won second place among
companies of the Third regiment,
company of Anoka, being first with a
total score of 764. In regular practice
the following qualified as marksmen
with a score of 98 or more: Capt.
Caley, 109: Sergt. Boyn, 121 Corp.
Mergel, 108: Corp. Edmison, 100:
Corp. Reissig, 120: Corp. Marshall,
102: Artificer Whitcomb, 101 Cook

J. Dunton, 106: H. Harrington, 102
L. King, 118: Orton, 111 M. Rosine,
101.
The following qualified as sharp
shooters, a total of 235 being neces
sary Sergt. Sellhorn. 248: Sergt.
Marshall, 266: Privates: Boyn, 257
E. Harrington, 259: Mahoney. 240.
In the team shoot which won for it
second place, the score was as fol
lows: Sergt. Boyn, 98: Sergt. Sell
horn, 107: Sergt. Marshall, 119: Corp.
Reissig, 92: Privates: Boyn, 109: E.
Harrington, 97: Mahoney, 115. The
scores show that there is good ma
terial in the company and there is a
good prospect for its winning first
place next time.

Sidewalks are not for Bicycles.
Inhabitants of Princeton are not
alone in thinking that the sidewalks
are for pedestrians and that bicycles
and all other wheeled vehicles with the
exception of baby carriages should
be barred. It is not pleasant to hear
behind you a bike bell and to expect
to be run over if you do not imme
diately clear the way. The Mankato
Free Press gives the following ac
count of an occurrence in that city:
"Some reckless bicyclist proved
himself to be a coward as well as a
brute, while riding on Byron street
last evening before dark. In front of
the Torrey store he ran into a lady,
knocked her down and tore her dress.
Instead of dismounting, as any gen
tleman would have done, to inquire
whether she was hurt, and to assist
her if necessary, and make proper
apoligies and amends, he simply rod"!'eT
right on, fearf that his identityr
might be discovered, and paying no
attention when she calle out, wishing^
to know his hameB.

The Crops.
Reports from wheat sections in Min
nesota and neighboring states show
wheat to be in good condition and
with the dryer weather which it is rea
sonable to expect there is a promising
outlook. The average annual precip
itation in Minnesota is about forty
five inches and during May and June
we had nine inches. A dryer spell is
due and will probably come. In this
State and Wisconsin the potato crop
has already been damaged on clay
soil by the rotting of the seed in the
ground, but on sandy soil there is no
apparent damage except in isolated
cases where the land is low and with
out drainage. Experience has taught
us that continued wet weather through
the growing season is conduche to
earlj appearance of blight, but in
Minnesota the crop is probably not
far enough advanced to have been
affected yet. Early planted potatoes
do not rot as much as those planted
late. Corn is backward in all sec
tions and a continuation of the cool
weather we have been having will not
make it "knee high by the Fourth of
Julv."
Mark's July Sale.
The Mark Horse company sale which
will be held in Princeton on Saturday,
July 1st will be the equal of any held
on previous dates. Especial care has
been exercised in selecting the horses
which will be offered at this sale and
they are as fine a lot of western horses
as can be secured. The native horses
will be fully up to the standard and
any one wishing a broken or unbroken
horse should attend and make a pur
chase for cash or on terms to suit.
Besides horses there will be offered a
big line of buggies, wagons, harness
and many other things of the same
kind usually offered at these sales.
Remember that this will be a sale in
every sense of the word. The highest
bidder takes the stock. Farmers hav
ing anything of whatever nature to
sell should bring it in and Mark will
sell it. The sale will be held regard
less of the weather. Remember there
will be two hundred head of western
and native horses for you to choose
from.
The Young Peoples' Musical.
The musical given by the young
people at the Methodist church last
Friday evening was a very pleasant
occasion, all participants rendering
their parts nicely. Mrs. H. C.
Cooney's vocal solo "Sweetheart"
was highly appreciated and she an
swered an encore with "In the Shade
of the Apple Tree." Mrs. C. A. Caley
was on the program for a solo, but
was unable to be present.
