ODD GAME OURS
AUBURN ONCE MORE SUFFERS
DEFEAT
The Game Proved an Interesting
One Throughout With a Finai
Result of 5 to 2
The hall game at Auburn last
Friday was probably one of the
most exciting games in which our
boys have participated this season.
Notwithstanding that Falls City
took the lead in the first, inning
and maintained it to the end, the
game was constantly in doubt and
the tentiou was not removed until
Heck ran into right field and
caught the last man out. The
ideal feature of the game was the
rooting of the Auburn fans. A
Falls City crowd is as silent as the
dead compared to an Auburn
bunch. A magaphone chorus ex
tending in a line four deep from
first to third base, split the air
when the teams took their places
in the first inning, and every
member of the chorus searched
his soul for sounds to rattle our
boys, but there was nothing doing.
The team worked together both in
the field and at bat. Clare Foster
played especially brilliantly, some
of his stops brought even the Au
burn rooters to their feet, Kelsey
pitched his usual reliable game
and outside of a few lucky bits in
the seventh inning, Auburn could
not locate him at all.
Paris, the negro from Tecumseh,
pitched the first two innings for
Auburn, when lie was stabled and
the Indian with the dutch name,
Kratzberg, was substituted, (ieo.
Segrist umpired with acknowl
edged fairness, as he always does.

"The Time,-The Place And The Girl"
Steering wheels are a nuisance
anyway. All the young fellows
will tell you this, •'and what all
the young fellows say must be
true It was on the road north
west of Falls Citv which is lined
by a row of walnut trees. The
time was about the hour of twelve
Friday night. The girl—well,
that’s the secret. But beneath
the shade of the walnuts stood a
silent motor car, its lights turned
to the cornfield making its green
leaves pale and unreal in the
glare. The front seat was un
occupied while the rear keat was
in the shadow. Another car on
its way from the Auburn ball
game came gliding down the
road wav and stopped by the
silent motor.
“What’s the trouble” anxiously
inquired the driver of the second
car.
No trouble you neut” replied a
voice from the rear seat, “drive
on.”
Honk. honk, said the horn,
which means go ahead. The
home bound car glided on its way
to the city. The lights of the
silent car still shone on the corn
blades. The steering wheel was
neglected, for steering wheels are
a nuisance anyway says the
| young fellows—and what the
! young fellows say must be true.
BADLY INJURED
EARL JELLISON HURT BY A
THRESHINC MACHINE
While Moving Machine, Antone
Smith Runs Over
Boy's Foot
Karl Jellison, son of J. \Y. Jel
lison, living south of town re-t
ceived injuries one day the lirst
of the week which will coniine
him the house for some time.
He had been assisting with the
threshing and Antone Smith was
moving a machine from the field
when Karl noticed a pitch fork in
the road and attempted to re
move it. and the engine gave a
sudden lurch and passed over
Earl’s foot One bone was badly
broken and while the foot is bad
ly bruised it is thought it will
not be necessary to amputate it.
To Fruit Growers
We have on display in this
office samples of apple, sprayed
and unsprayed, grown on the
Henrv C. Smith farm one mile
east and a quarter of a mile south
of Barada, and the difference is
most marked, the sprayed being
almost perfect while the un
sprayed are perfectly worthless.
That all may become better
versed in the methods used in
obtaining this result, Congress
man Pollard has succeeded in his
elTorts, and obtained the services
of G. E. Merrill special field
agent of the department of agri
culture, who will give a demon
stration on Mr. Smith’s farm
next Monday from 10 a. in. until
2 p- m. when it is hoped that
every fruit grower in these parts
will avail himself of the opportu
nity and see the good results ob
tained from the spraying method.
Meeting Postponed
Owing to the small crowd in
attendance the Chautauqua meet
ing lor Tuesday night was post
poned until Monday evening
September 21st when it is urged
that a good crowd will be in at
tendance. Most of the commit
tees appointed at the previous
meeting were ready to report but
there was no one to hear the re
port.
It is sincerely hoped that at
the next meeting there will be
enough there that some definite
action can be taken. If you want
a Chautauqua next year show it
by your presence.
Will Sell Western Horses
On Tuesday, September 15th,
Vastine <fc Cunningham will sell
a carload of western horses at
Mettz’s sale pavilion in this

coln last week was the son of

in the city and had many friends
here who will be sorry to hear of
his untimely enc. He with his
parents moved to Lincoln about
four years ago.
Injured at Vinegar Factory
While working at the vinegar
factory the latter part of last
week James DeWald was unfortu
nate enough to get his arm
caught in the machinery and bad
ly lacerated. It required three
stitches to close the wound, but
he is getting along nicely at this
writing.
Moves Here From Litchfield
F. Houglan has moved his
family here from Litchfield, Neb.,

Ramsey property. Realizing the
