The Grand Rapids High school baske all team is fast rounding into shape and will be in good trim for the game with the Hibbing High school on the 18th. Not one member of last year’s | champion team remains, but there is abundant material in school and the locals expect to have another champ-) ionship bunch which will be able to retain the title of champions of Northern Minnesota which the Grand Rapids high school teams in basket- ball have held for the past three years, Games have been and are being arranged with Cloquet, Hibbing, Be- midji, Cass Lake and Eveleth. Should the locals defeat these teams they could undoubtedly claim the cham- pionship of the northern part of the state. The line-up of the team is not yet decided, but the following players will be among those who have a good chance to make the team: Tuel, Erskine, Reusswig, O’- Brien, Powers, Brandon and Blood. There are a large number of other players in the school who are also likely candidates and those who make the team this year will have to work all the time, because there will be no favoritism shown for any one this year. The boys are all well up in their studies and will have no trouble about making the team from a scholastic standpoint. School Board Meeting.

He has scaled timber hereabouts for a quar- ter of a century or more, and he is as well liked as he is well known: Mr. Currier will be in the market for everything offered in the line of pine logs.

LITTLE CHILD IS CLAIMED BY TWO Alleged Mother And Grandmother Seek Possession of Three- Year-Old Girl. The possession of a little three-year old girl is involved in a sensational habeas corpus proceedings which has been commenced in district coret The complaining parties are Myrtle Ferguson, who states she is the mother of the child and Elizabeth A. Ferguson, the grandmother. It is claimed in the petition that the child is unlawfully detained by Mr. and Mrs. John McDonald, of Deer River. The write was made returnable be- fore Judge Wrighht at this place last week, but owing to the short time afforded for making a return or pleading, a continuance of the case was obtained. It was afterwards moved to squash the writ and such action was taken by the court that the relators will probably amend thei) origina§, papers. The mother of the child made a determined effort at the hearing be- fore Judge Wright to have the pos- session of the child made over to the sheriff,‘ but Judge Wright, after (taking the welfare of the child into account, ordered that Mr. and Mrs, McDonald should be allowed the cus- tody of the child temporarily. Mr. McDonald is a prominent pbusi- ness man of Deer River and it is un- derstood that he and his wife claim the child through adoption proceed- ings which were carried on by a Be- midji attorney some three years ago, the mother of the child having given her written consent to the adoption. —
