The Ld,CtOn Ledoier of the 2d inst de-
votes over half column TO the abuse
of our base ball club and our citizens,
yet It's editor, IN writing the stuff, fails
to tell one fact in the ease The Law
ton boys were heard to say ut Paw Paw
that they would have the game at Go
bles or fight They couldn't win and
didn't dare fight, SO the would-be editor
contents himself by Singing mud and
mailing To our citizens IN article too
low and insignificant to be worthy of
notice. Probably what ails him is the
fact that he failed To be recognized"
at the ball ground gate and hotel.
A one-armed Italian by the name of
Lou Fudge came into town one day last
week, with his wife and two small
children. They hailed from Muskegon,
from which place they had driven in
poorly covered wagon. \ day or two
since they were caught in n heavy rain
storm and drenched To the skin, from
the effects of which the younger child,
only three months old, caught severe
cold and fever set i'm. The parents,
though destitute of money, stopped at
the home of Jack Russell, near Base
line, and begged shelter for their sick
child. The next morning the child was
much worse and, If we are To believe
the word of the father, he was ordered
To pay 81 80 for the nights lodging and
move on As he had no money to pay
with, he gave Russell some trinkets and
came on to this place. On reaching the
residence of DR. Hail. he was told that
his child was dying, and in less than an
hour the fact was realized. They were
invited by the doctor and his amiable
wife to remain until the child could
have Christian burial. The Ladies'
Aid society furnished clothes for the
mother and the remaining child; our
merchants gave the father new suit
of clothes, and the citizens raised
purse of S14.OO in cash to start the un-
happy couple on their way. The father
had the appearance of being a gentle
man in Strengthened circumstances and
was very thankful for the kindness
shown him while here.
