Mr. Holwell, chairman of the meet- ing, introduced the first speaker of the evening, Hon. H. J. Drane, who made a very interesting talk, in the course of which he assured the Union that on the eve of the convening of the State Legislature of which he would be a member, it would be his pleasure and privilege to look well after their interests in all things. Rev. W. H. Steinmeyer was next called upon and he made a very pleasing talk, in which he took oc- casion to thank the Union for their great aid in the building of the Myr- tle street church of which he is the pastor. Short addresses were made by Messrs. M. F. Hetherington and J. L. Skipper, which closed the program of the evening. Ice cream and cake, punch and strawberries were then served, which were much enjoyed. The program was interspersed with vocal and instrumental music by sev- |ernl talented musicians present. 200,000 QUARTS STRAWBERRIES SHIPPED Season Just Closed Has Netted the Growers at Least $75,000. e .ith Dakota. iaisits The strawberry season of 1913 ]‘ J ix':’: ;‘u'n.j.\‘w'i;e'.‘......(zc;rri:gto: closed Thursday, the last shipments R Bivien, o Grand Forks|©f the season being made to north- Peler Paulson Willow City |crn markets on that date Minnesota. uring the period’ extending be- JoiEvans......eveveeseaJTraey | iween Jan. 1 and March 20, a con- B 0.

H. charged with operating a swindling gume to defraud Frank Rothleuter, who charged Bateman with others of swindling him out of $9,000 through a fake horse race. Bateman recently was arrested at Palm Beach and was released. According to Thomas B.
