HIGH SCHOOL
Tv. NORTHFIELD
Championship of Seventh District
Won by Local High School Team
Last Week.
By winning from Alexandria at St.
Cloud last Friday evening, the local
high school basket ball team earned
the right to play Madison for the
championship of the seventh district,
and the right to play at Northfleld this
year, for the state championship. The
Madison-Willmar game was played at
the Seminary gym. in this city Sat
urday evening, and after one of the
greatest games ever played here, the
locals won out by a score of 28 to 27.
From start to finish it was nip and
tuck, and never at any time did more
than six points separate the teams.
For Madison Garborg at forward
was easily the star. Three times he
shot baskets from way out near the
center, on an over head shot, with his
back to the basket. Smogaard, who
was the big star last year, failed to
play up to that standard. Woulfe, who
played against Se/erinson, handled
ball in good shape, and was all over
the floor, but was unable to hold his
man. The officiating was done by the
two coaches, and not a decision was
questioned. The score:
Smogaard Severinson
Garborg Johnstone
Hagabak Erickson
Woulfe Holt
Mooney Yarrow
Baskets: Severinson (9) Erickson
(2) Yarrow Johnstone. Garborg
(7) Smogaard (3) Hagabak (2).
Fouls: Severinson, 2 out of 5 Gar
borg, 3.
High School 28, Alexandria 25.
Alexandria received the surprise
their life last Friday evening when
Willmar defeated them at basket ball
at St. Cloud, in the semi-finals for the
district championship.
COSMOS TEAM GETS
AN EVEN BREAK
Win From Ascensions Friday Evening
and Lose the Following Night.
The Cosmos Club basket ball team
closed their season last week by win
ning one and losing one game to the
Ascension Cadets of Minneapolis. The
game Friday evening was played '•t
the high school gym. and resulted in
a comparatively easy win for the home
team by a score of 33 to 23. Getting
the jump in the first half the locals
ran up 25 points to four for the visit
ors. This proved to be a great handi
cap, altho the last half was 19 to 8
in favor of the Ascensions.
Ascensions 40, Cosmos 29.
Saturday night's game was a dif
ferent story. The addition of Beck
at center, and Van De Mark at guard
worked wonders for the visiting team
and they played a great game. Start
ing in with a rush they scored 28
points the first half, to twelve for the
locals, and with this lead they played
safe the rest of the way.
Both games were rough and hard
fought, but there was no deliberate
dirty work by either team. The
score:
McEnroe Pouliat
Taylor Meagher
Johnson Beck
Nordstrom Raidt
Larson Van De Mark
Baskets: McEnroe (3) Taylor (4)
Johnson (2) Nordstrom (3) Pouliat
(7) Meagher (2) Beck (4) Raidt
(5) VanDeMark (2). Fouls: McEn

GRIND OF JUSTICE
IN DISTRICT COURT
Spring Term O ps With Judge
R. T. Daly Presiding the
First Time.
The spring term of district court is
in session at the court house this
week. Judge R. T. Daly of Renville
is presiding and made his first appear
ance on the District Court bench Mon
day. His first official act was to ap
prove the appointment of Walter
Haines as deputy clerk of court. Sev
eral of the civil cases on the calendar
have been disposed of. The case of
Alfred Bergeson vs. P. O. Sonstegaard,
which was up yesterday and this
morning has cause a great deal of
comment. The attorneys finished
with the witnesses last evening, and
this morning gave their addresses to
the jury, which retired at 11 o'clock.
The case of State of Minnesota vs.
Louis Lippert has been settled and
dismissed. The one State of Minne
sota vs. Melvin Schoenborn was con
tinued until the next term of court.
A. E. Rice and S. B. Qvale, Appel
ants vs. Town of East Lake Lillian
was settled and the order of the su
pervisors establishing and laying out
roads was in all things reversed.
Jessie Summerlet vs. Town of East
Lake Lillian was decided the same
way.
The Grand Jury has been busy
since Monday, with Henry Boese of
Atwater as foreman. So far they have
reported two indictments, State of
Minnesota vs. E. E. Sorenson, arraign
ed on charge of forgery in the second
degree, indictment filed March 16th
and E. F. Purtzer, arraigned on the
charge of grand larceny, in the first
degree. He pleaded not guilty.
An Entertainer Comes Next.
Josephine H. Dominick, entertainer,
will appear in the lecture course at
the Presbyterian church next Wednes
day, March 24. She is said to be a
very clever impersonator, and special
emphasis is given in her advertising
heralds about her ability to render
humorous readings in Swedish "dia
lect." A sanfple is given entitled,
"Sonnet on Stewed Prunes," which
certainly is not, properly speaking,
Swedish dialect at all, but an exagger
ated sample of the brogue of a newly
arrived Swede trying to talk English
which one will encounter in the "Yon
Yonson" style of plays and other fun
ny attempts of comedians, but very
rarely in real life. We are assured,
however, that Mrs. Dominick has giv
en great care and study to the "dia
lect" and in consequence her Swedish
readings are very funny.
Her repertoire includes the cele
brated Beatrice Herford monologues,
scenes from Shakespeare, selections
by Ruth McEnery Stewart and Mar
gery Benton Cook's acting mono
logues.

LOCAL TALENT IN
HALBER6 COMEDY
"The Political Tinker" Wli Beevening.n
Produced Tomorrow Even
ing 8y Cast ofTwenty.
A rare treat is in store for the peo
ple of Willmar and vicinity tomorrow
evening at the Seminary Hall, when
Ludvig Holberg's comedy, "The Polit
ical Tinker" will be presented by
Seminary students under the direction
of Prof. A. C. Pederson. This is the
first time that one of the comedies of
Holberg, recognized as the leader in
his line in the North, has been presen
ted in English translation at Willmar.
The work of translation was done un
der the auspices of the American
Scandinavian Foundation.
The scene is laid in the City of
Hamburg about two hundred years
ago, inside and outside of Herman Von
Bremen's house. There are five acts,
and the droll humor of the experiences
of the tinker and his artisan friends,
their wives and servants can best be
appreciated by seeing the play.
In the first act Antonius, which part
is taken by Harold Tallakson, goes
a wooing Herman Von Bremen's
(Alexander Sand) daughter Engelke
(Miss Minnie Fridlund) and the audi
ence becomes acquainted with some
of the leading characters of the play.
In the second act the "Collegium
Politicum" meets, which is composed
of Von Bremen Jens, a tavern keep
er (Einar Erickson) Richard, a
brushmaker, (K. W. Anderson) Gert,
a furrier, (William Estrem) Sivert, a
baggage inspector (Albin Kannikke
berg) Franz, a cutler, (Roy Stans
berry.
In the third act Herman Von Brem
en becomes Burgomaster, and in the
fourth Henrich (Russell Curran) and
Anneka (Miss Myrtle Johnson), two
servants, tell each other some inter
esting things, and Geske, Von Bre
men's wife (Miss Ruth Sanderson) re
ceives congratulations.
In the fifth act troubles come thick
and fast for the burgomaster, and the
final denouement occurs.
There are some twenty characters
in the play. The efforts of those put
on this play should be rewarded by a
full house. The admission is nomi
nal 25c for general admission and
35c for reserved seats.
Norin-Johnson.
A quiet home wedding occurred last
Thursday afternoon at 3:30 p. m., at
the home of Mr.,and Mrs. Warner
Norin of this city, when their daugh
ter, Miss Hannah, was united in mar

pastor of the Swedish Mission church,
performed the ceremony, in the pres
ence of eighteen guests.
Miss Lillie Norin, a cousin of the
bride, sang "O, Promise Me" before
the ceremony. Lohengrin's wedding
march was played by Miss Adeline
Sunberg. The parlor and table was
prettily decorated with smilax and
jonquils.
The bride wore a gown of white
crepe de meteor, trimmed in ribbons
knotted with lilies-of-the-valley, and
carried an arm bouquet of bride's ros
es. She was attended by Miss Emma
T. Johnson, a sister of the groom, who
was attired in white voile. The groom
was attended by J. Albert Peterson.
The bride, who has grown to wom
anhood in this city, has been employ
ed for the past few years as saleslady
at Berkness, Lundberg & Co.'s store
and has a host of friends who wish her
and the man of her choice a long and
happy wedded life. The groom holds
a position as salesman at the Paul

The result in Dist. 39 is especially
gratifying, in view of the fact that
all except two of the signers met
with a total loss of crops last year by
reason of the hailstorm which destroy
ed practically everything in the fields.
When No. 39 can show up so hand
some a result, there is no district in
the county that can escape the feel
ing that it should do something for
this worthy project to do honor to the
pioneers of the county. The commit
tee hopes that it will hear from many
other districts before the annual
meeting of the Old Settlers' Associa
tion in June.
