close to the base of the brain, laying

Today Mrs. T. J. Seufert beat the
ladies' record at the club alleys by fifteen
pins. The previous record, which was
40, was held by Misses Alma Schanno
and Myrtle Michel. The following is
the score: In the first she made
spare; in the second, third, fourth and
fifth, strikes; sixth, two pins; seventh,
a spare; eighth, a strike; ninth, a spare,
and tenth, strike and one pin, making
a total of sixty-one poins. This is an
exceptionally high record among the

it is broken.
Last night, after being out about
twelve hours, the jury in the Cederson
case brought in verdict for $4,000 dam-
ages, this being the amount sued for and
the highest damages the law allows in
the state for the life of an individual.
There is quite difference between this
verdict and the 5O0-dollar one rendered
short time ago in the Watkins case,
which goes to show how likely jury is
to bring an unexpected verdict. There
is no doubt that the o. R. & N. Co. will
appeal the case to the supreme court.
and it may be question of long time
before it will be finally settled.

A force of linemen in charge of Gen

bv an agent of Geo. D. Barnard & Co,
