Avoca Wins in the Fourteenth.
One of the best ball games that
was ever played in southeast Ne
braska was pulled oil' here Sun
day between Avoca ami Cedar
Creek. The game was holly con
tested, as the teams were evenly
matched. ' Both teams put up
some excellent playing, the locals
winning in the fourteenth inning
by heavy hitting. The only bad
feature of the game was that the
crowd was not large enough. Re
member it. takes money to play
ball, and the kind of ball our
(earn has been playing I bey should
be belter supported financially.
The next lime the boys have a
game attend. Boost, don't knock.

Wednesday morning the alarm

that the barn on the Seca! place
was on lire. Fire Chief Kuhn
henn, with bis gallant lire horse,
Carl Schroder, started with the,
village lire engine on I lie gallop
for the conflagration. When Ihey
hail gone a couple of blocks Carl
lost a shoe. Suddenly the chief
recollected the fact, that there was
nothing in 1 In engine to slop the
lire', so it was discarded. John
Schmidt came to the rescue with
his aulo and hauled (he engine lo
the scene. The run was a record
breaker as far as they went, how
ever. The barn was only a flimsy
affair and soon burned, but by
the heroic efforts of some of
Avnca's brave citizens the house
did not catch tire, so the loss
was small. Henry is ready lo
back his team against any in the
country when it cumes lo fast
