At that time the schedule of games will be arranged and other matters pertaining to athletics will be taken up. Bemidji high is the only team that the locals will have much cause to fear this year. They wen the championship last year and are very much elated over it. In fact they have even intimated that by winning the championship they have the right to dictate to the other teams in the district. They say that all their games must be played on their own floor.

The local coach has no fear that they cannot be secured to come here for a game, however, and the local people are inclined to believe that before the season is over some other team will have it on Bemidji.

TOTAL COST OF ANIMAL WOULD BE ABOUT ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS An opportunity is now at hand whereby Little Falls can secure a bull moose for its Tine Grove park if it desires. All that is necessary is that the citizens make it known to those who have the proposition in hand that the cost of getting the moose will be raised. The party who has offered to capture the moose wants this assurance before he makes an attempt.

Val. E. Kasparek is in receipt of a letter from a hunter living in the extreme northern part of the state, stating that he will get a young bull moose for Little Falls for $15. This is exclusive of the transportation charges, which would amount to about $25, making the total cost of the animal about $100. A bull moose would certainly be a great attraction for our park zoo.

There are so few parks where they can be found, owing largely to the lack of space. Such is not the case here, however, as there are many acres of land at the Pine Grove park which can be used for The feeding expense is very, small, in fact, the cost of caring for the animals at the park last year did not exceed $20. If the moose is secured, and if other contemplated improvements are carried out Little Falls will within another year have a park equal to if not better than any other in the state. HUNTERS ARE COMING BACK Over a week has "passed since the oig game hunting season opened and the hunters are already beginning to return, some with game, others emptyhanded.

PROTECTED VERBAL MISREPRESENTATIONS BY AGENT NULLIFIES WRITTEN CONTRACT, SAYS COURT St. Cloud Journal-Press: A carefully worded contract even though it states that verbal representations of an agent are not to be considered a part of the agreement does not protect the company whose agents resort to fraud in obtaining the signature of a purchaser to that contract.

This important decision was handed down yesterday by the supreme court in the case of Edward Thompson against Peter F. Schroeder, originally tried before Judge Roeser in Becker county. Schroeder is an attorney at Detroit and the Edward Thompson company print and sell law books. A smooth agent with a splendid command or the English language and a heartv handshake walked into Schroeder's office a year ago and after closing the door and making sure that no one was within earshot confided to him that his company nad decided to honor the attorney by allowing him to be the only one iu Becker county to buy a set of law books that had just been issued. On that representation Schroeder put his name on the dotted line of a carefully drawn up contract that precluded all verbal agreements ind made it subject to acceptance by the eastern company.

When the books came Schroeder discovered that two other attorneys in. Detroit had been made the same offer and had both purchased the books. Ha refused to pay and so notified the company. In return he received what would be considered a highly insolent letter calling attention to the wording of the contract. Schroeder stood pat and in due time Attorney Taylor Crum of Fargo, started suit for the company.

The case was tried at the March term of the district court, the jury after being out for nearly two days returning a three-fourths verdict in favor of Schroeder. The company appealed to the supreme court contending that the contract had been drawn so that no such action could be brought. The question of allowing evidence to be submitted regarding any conversation with the agent in view of the fact that the contract was so binding was the one on which the appeal wa3 made. Judge held that fraud could not be concealed under any cloak and that if there was the slightest evidence of misrepresentation that the jury had the right to examine all ot the circumstances. This was upheld by the supreiv.e court.

The supreme court held as follows: Edward Thompson appellant, vs. Peter Schroeder, respondent. 1. Evidence held to sustain the right of defendant rescind a contract for the purchase of certain law books on of fraudulent representations of plaintiff's to duce defendant to enter into the contract. 2.

A clause in a written contract in the language, '1 no representations or guarantees have been made by your salesman which are not herein expressed," does not preclude or stop the other contracting party from showing that the contract was procured by the fraudulent representations. 3. When a fraudulently procured eontract a pecuniary obligation is thereby incurred by the defendant party, suc-h incurred obligation is a sufficient damage or prejudice to entitle him to rescind the contract for the fraud. Order affirmed. Opinion by Chief Justice Brown.

PAYS $8,000 FOR ALIENATING AFFECTIONS The Crow Wing county district court on Wednesday oi last week returned a verdict for $8,000 damages in the case of Charles L. Blair vs. William A. Guith of Crosby for alienation of the affection of the former's wife. The iurv was out six hours on the case.

Blair sned for $25,000 and the trial, which lasted two days and a half, brought out Tne tragedy in domestic life of the Blair family two years ago when Mrs. Blair, confronted with arrest by a deputy sheriff from Duluth serving a warrant sworn out by Guith's wife against Guith and Mrs. Blair, committed suicide in Crosby by taking carbolic acid. The deputy sheriff testified that Mrs. Blair when dying, had blamed her husband for the trouble.

Testimony was introduced that Guith and Blair were on friendly terms, to which Guith swore. RETAINS SHERMAN IN IMMIGRATION OFFICE Fred D.
