Curtin, president: of the First National bank of Beach, and a warm friend of the North Dakota state.examiner.. Major Waters is par- |ticularly anxious to see Major Ong beat Hal -4., because the latter was | bought with some Df the money which tho states examiner {aid the Be banker for Major Ong. At. that time the Ong horse was off his feed, and Curtin thought him laity figure. Major Waters picked him up cheap, put him in charge of ‘Doc. Townsend, and proceeded to make a money-getter out of him. The Major started last season in great shape, but strained a tendon, and again seemed | to be out of the game for good. He came back this year in great shape, however, and‘has been inside the mon. ey in every meet he has entered. “Th Jowa last week the Major nosed out Hal B.
