The foot ball team came in last
week. They have been practicing at
Terra Alta for the past two weeks
under the efficient coaching of
''Doggie' Trenchard and are in good |!
fighting trim. The preliminary train
ing has been very profitable, the
boys learning more in the two weeks
work than in all the time before. An
exhibition game was played in King
wood Friday before an appreciative
audience after which the team drove
through the country arriving, part
on Friday night and the rest on Sat
urday.
Miss BELLE DEAN met with quite |
painful accident while in Pitts.
burg recently. She was dismount-
ing from a street car and was thrown,
twisting and severely spraining her
ankle. So severe was the injury that |
it was several days before she could |
stand the return trip but she had |
recovered sufficiently to return last |
week. She is still confined to her
room and it may be some time yet be-
fore she will be able to get around |
much. 1t is understood that the ac-
cident was due to the negligence of |
the Pleasant Valley conductor, on
whose car she was riding.
