are not pleased with the attempt at wi
at their expense in last weeks Courier
The boys say they conducted themselves
in an orderly and respectable manner
They had no liquor of any kind with
them, nor did they drink any that day.
Up to the seventh innings the Kenosha
club was ahead in the game, and had
not the pitcher hurt his hand they would
have come out the victors. They want
the writer of the item in question to
understand they are not clowns.

The entertainment at Kimball Opera
House on Friday evening. for the bene-
fit of the National Cornet Band, was not
as successful, financially, as it should
have been. The reason cannot be lack
of appreciation of the band. The con-
cert was an enjoyable one, and was
much appreciated by those present.
The cornet solos, bell solos and playing
on glasses by Miss Ida Clark were well
rendered and cacored. The readings
and songs by Miss Amy Van Dam were
also very good, and she received hearty
and responded to several en-
cores. But little Cora Van Dam appear
ed to be the favorite with the audience.
She brought down the house with her
comic songs, and had to respond to re-
peated encores.

was run over by a hand-car last Thurs

came along. When Larsen heard the
train he jumped in front of the hand-car,
caught hold of it, and tried to throw it
off the track. The car knocked him
down and ran over him, and the engine
ran into the Car and made splinters Of it.

outside of the track. The other men
who were on the car jumped off before
the engine struck it, and escaped with
out serious injury. DR.. Will Farr was
