The game was played by the Royal and O’Neill teams and resulted in favor of Royal by the close score of 1 to 0. Lefty Pierson pitched for O'Neill, while Vance Johnson of Brunswick twirled for Royal. It was a pitcher’s battle from start to finish, and in the seventh inning Pitcher Johnson landed on Pierson for a beautiful two-base drive to center field, which was followed by a single, giving Royal the only score of the game. John Kersenbrock, formerly of Osmond and widely known through out this section, is manager of the O’Neill club, and it was a tough pill for John to swallow. During the ex citing moments of the contest John tore up a perfectly good summer cap ho was wearing and went through his usual capers to assist his club in win ning, but Mr. Johnson refused to become the least bit rattled and pitched one of the best games of his life. “AIN’T NATURE WONDERFUL” (By Uncle Pete in Omaha Bee.”) O’Neill, Neb., July 20.—“Sliver” Triggs has commenced an action in the court of Judge Kirwin against the Beaver Flats Country club to recover the value of three pet bullsnakes re cently demised, and to restrain the members of the club from so slicing their drives that their golf balls land on his side of the fence which divides the club course from Mr. Triggs’ snake farm. Mr. Triggs is engaged in raising snakeskin hatbands for the movie bad man market and has one of the finest domesticated snake herds in the west. Last year the Coutry club secured the tract just west of Beaver Flats, which adjoins the Trigg’s snake ranch on the south, and laid out thereon the club’s new course. Differences first sprang up between the club officials and Mr. Triggs when the women members of the club be gan to object to the bullsnakes sun ning themselves upon the green. This practice of the reptiles finally resulted in the securing of an injunc tion by the club restraining Mr. Trigg’s pets from going upon the course at all and which necessitated the building of a snake tight fence along the boundary line by their owner. Since that time there had been no, trouble between the club and Mr. Triggs until this summer when the club added a number of new members, who, never having golfed before, are rather erratic in their driving. Many balls shot by thse beginners have been landing in Mr. Triggs’ pastures, where they are gobbled up by the snakes under the impression that thy are some new kind of eggs. This is a pardonable mistake, as snakes have no sense of smell or taste and swallow their food whole and wiUhout mastication; and, as during the shedding season Mr. Triggs feeds his snakes entirely on eggs because of the gloss and luster which the diet imparts to the skins. The three snakes for which Mr. Triggs seeks to recover damage died from inability to digest golf balls and a large portion of the remainder of the herd is suffering with dyspepsia from like cause. ARBUTHNOT-GILMER. Arthur A. Arbuthnot and Miss Helen Marie Gilmer, both of Albion, Nebraska, were united in marriage in the Methodist church in the city by Rev. J .A. Hutchins, last Sunday morning.

After September first they will be at home to their friends at Albion, Nebraska.

A number from Ewing represent ing the local chapter of the Izaak Walton League accompanied M. H. Dierks to Clearwater last Friday afternoon, where they met Chief Game Warden George G. Rosier and How ard Miller, President of the Izaak Walton League in this district, in re gard to the Goose Lake proposition. The proposition made by Mr. Dierks to sell the lake to the state will be Submitted by Mr. Roster at an early date, and it is hoped that those in au thority may take favorable action in the matter.

Goose Lake is beautifully situated, and is accessible to all towns in this part of the state in a few hours drive.
