New clay boxes and stakes will be installed between the Kiwanis and baseball parks, south of the North- ern Pacific tracks, where all of the tournament matches will be played. L. O. Kelsven of Minot, state or- ganizer, was contacted earlier this week in the hope that the tournament here would be desgnated as the of- ficial North Dakota event. Kelsven replied that in view of the short ad- vance notice and the fact that the anuual event is customarily held in September, he thought it would be in- advisable to attempt to make the change.

Because they won such wide ap- proval in their first appearance here, it was only natural that the Mexican All-Stars should be invited to return to play in the four-game series which will feature each afternoon's athletic program during the Pioneer Days Festival, July 3-5.

He come to the Yellowstone region in 1868, and for a time carried the military mail from Missouri river posts to Fort Buford at the mouth of the Yellowstone. “ While carrying mail near the Knife river once, he was attacked by two Sioux In- dians. He killed them both. Some Arikara Indians, on hear- ing of the fight, went to the local- ity and scalped the two dead Sioux, brought fi the scalps in, and staged a war dance to cele- brate. In_ 1870 Kelly supplied the gar- rison at Fort Bu- ford with meat. In 1873 he ac- companied Col. George A. For- ‘sythe of General Sheridan’s staff on a military re- connaissance up ‘the Yellowstone on the steamer Key West. This expedition, which was in preparation for Custer’s ill-fated one of 1876, marked the first time a steamboat had ever successfully navigated the waters of the Yellowstone above Brasseau’s post. Kelly participated in the 1877 campaign against the crafty Chief Joseph, dubbed by whites “the second Napoleon.” He also attended the banquet given Chief Joseph in the Sheridan House in Bismarck after his capture. Later, Kelly spent several years in the government Indian service, finally retiring to his ranch at Paradise, Calif. PORT BUFORD KILLER is2.r rope broke! 1 count of the affair.
