1 be Loup City-North Loup game
W ednesday was one of the prettiest
exhibitions yet this season. From
start to finish it was anybody’s
game, but finally ended in favor of
Loup City by a score of 4 to 2.
Space will not allow of extended
mention, yet it was more worthy
of it than any game so far played
on the home grounds. The North
Loup boys are a very gentlemanly
lot of fellows, and are first class
players. The score;
