team of ponies owned by Walter

street. Mr.. Thackery and M. Davis
were in the buggy and were both
thrown out on a stone pile and injured.
Mr.. Thackery was picked up badly
bruised and was carried to his home
and was thought to be seriously in
jured, but this afternoon his injuries
do not appear to be more serious than
some bruises and scratches. Mr..
Davis who is employed in Clements &

head badly cut.

noon between the Mankato and ST.

is all the more noteworthy when it is
considered that the local club is COM
posed of smaller men than the visit
ors and that the club has lately or
gained and has PLAYED together but
