lost to a mixed McLaughlin team
Saturday night at McLaughlin by
a score of 26 to 14. The local boys
are not satisfied with Ifche treatment
accorded them at McLaughlin. A
guarantee /of $25 which had been
promised them was not paid,' it is
claimed, and the home team is
still wondering if the referee
thought he was refereeing a football
.game.

Christmas Celebration Set
New Record for "Dryness"
A record for "dryness" has.just
been made by the Indians of this
reservation that could scarcely be
equaled in these "home-brew"
days. There were between thirty
and forty separate Indian Christ
mas celebrations this week on the
reservation, and, Supt. Mossman
declares, not one case of drunken
ness has been reported, from any of
these celebrations.
