The HERALD is asked if there is
any foundation for the rumor that the
Rock Island Is to build a line from
PhillIpsburg to Lincoln. The story
mas been extensively copied 10 the
daily and weekly papers, and so far
no denial has appeared. Another
rumor Is that the Rock Island will
build from Lincoln to Jansen, the
first station east of Fairbury, and that
the right-of-way has been secured.
This would shut rs out, but the Fair
bury papers speak OF the PhIllipsburg
line as a certainty. 1t is well known
that the Rock Island proposes con-
structing from SOD to 1000 miles of
road this season and it is to be hoped
that our line will consume 140 miles

put up more rocky game of ball than

way towards explaining the cause of Colby's
third defeat in the college league games.
The Bates boys played ball from the start.
The star play of the day was the running
catch and throw to the home plate, shutting
out a man there, which was made by Hall.
kalloch also made a very pretty catch in
his field.
Colby batted Wilson at winning gait
and it was found necessary to substitute

better than Wilson.
