Checker Tournament Results
The checker players met at The

Saturday and enjoyed a series of
games. Several out of town play
ers were there who play good
games , but were handicapped in
neb having the advantage of rec
ent practice. W. Honey anl S.
E. Smith were both good playeis
and won many games.
J. A. Hornback , the genial pro
prietor of the hotel , won and lost ,
here and there , and plays a good
game , beating the best at times.
Win. Erickson didn't have time
to play many games , but held his
own pretty well. Dr. Lewis and
O. W. Morey played when they
had time , but for want of recent
practice were not at their best.
Mark Zarr tried his hand at the
game but preferred chess and so a
chess game was kept going Satur
day evening.
Henry Harrison always plays a
good game of checkers but I. M.
Rico , who holds the championship
of Cherry county and Rosebud
Agency , is a little too much for
the Colonel.
Everybody had a good time and
all want to hold another meeting
soon.
