The base ball team which left
last Friday night on a western trip
has player ! some great ball and
has brought a great deal of credit
and advertisement to the town. On
Saturday in the midst of a rain
storm they they played Crawford
a seven inning game resulting in a
score of 10 10. Luke and Kirk
land pitched for the locals and did
affective work in spite of the fact
that they were given a rotten deal
by the umpire. Sunday the boys
met Alliance in a double header ,
winning both games by the decis
ive scores of 8 3 and T 3. Cay-
lor pitched both games and was in
fine form. Alliance has one of the
best teams in western Nebraska
and the unexpected victory won
laurels for our own team. Tuesday
Chadron was beaten by a score of
i 1 , in a close and exciting
game , Luke and O'Roake were
the slab artists. Wednesday the
team returned to Crawford and
were beaten in a score of 7 toi. .
In spite of this the team match
ed a game with thorn for * § 200 a
side to be played Friday at Chad
ron on neutral territory. This
game will undoubtedly be the
best. The teams are well matched
and have blood in their eyes.
About fifty local fans expect to go
to Chadron tonight to see the
game. Luke will pitch for Valen
tine.

Bill Brown of Crookston was in
town Tuesday and tells of an ab
normal curiosity that is some
thing new. It is in the shape of a
chicken fairly well grown having
three perfect wings , the extra wing
setting just behind and under the
natural wing. Bide Overman was
with him and acts as affidavit man
and coming from these two sources
the story is a fact. Brown expects
to bring it down next week and
put it on exhibition.
