Mr.. Sheaff's team. Everybody had nice
time and nothing occurred to mar the
days pleasure.
Photographer Ed. Walcott lives in
Glover and drives in every morning and
/ back in the evening. Sometimes Mr..
1 'Walcott goes to sleep on his way in, he re-
! garding his old horse as a safe one, and so
takes life easy and loses no time as fer
as rest is concerned. On his way from
Glover the other morning while he was
| taking good nap, his old horse and one
of Sam Nelson's COWS got into a sort of
mixup and as Sam had hold of the COW it
would appear that Sam was trying to
break Walcott of the habit of sleeping
1 while he should have been awake watching
! out that he didn't run over any of Sam's
| chickens. However, the first thing that
/ the kodak-shooter knew he landed on his
head in the middle of the road and his
horse was running away from Sam and
the COW. Walcott tried to find out from
Sam how it happened but Sam wouldn't
tell but he thinks that his chickens will be
safe from now on.

Harlow Foss and family arrived here
Friday night from Hopland, California.
Mr.. Foss has been in that state for the
past six years in charge of his brothers.
between this village and Barton Landing.
Mr.. Foss left San Francisco Sunday after
noon, the 24th, and took steamer to Van
couver, thence via the Canadian'Pacific Ey.
to Montreal. The journey was delightful
one all the way, no hot weather being en-
countered until the party reached Mont
real Friday morning. In some sections of
the. country on the way, Mr.. Foss says
that it was necessary to wear his overcoat
to be comfortab bic. He has changed very
little since he left Iras burgh, and says that
of all the country he has been through
since he went away there is no place for
him as good as the old green hills and the
climate of his native state. Our citizens
are glad to see him again and it will be
some time before Harlow can get down to
work on account of the many who will
call to welcome him home.
The Barton base ball team went to Derby
Line last Tuesday to play return game
with the team from that place, and after
hard contest of eleven innings our boys
were beaten by a score of to z. The boys
were accompanied by about fifteen of the
base ball enthusiasts of the village and
were much disappointed at the manner in
which our team was used by the umpire at
the Line. The score shows that the game
was very close one, but the citizens of
Der by Line who attended declared that
our team had been very unfairly treated
by the umpire in the matter of strikes and
balls, and that we would, with fair de-
cisions by the umpire have won with the
score very much in our favor. Carroll and
Webster no hott fOr
the village nine up to the eighth inning
when Carroll retired from the pitchers
box in favor of Earl Jenness. However
the defeat was taken gracefully and the
Derby Line club will play another game
with US this week Friday if the day is
favorable. The following are the players
who went to the Line: Carroll Webster,
Van Hitchcock, Earle Jenness, Clarence
Webster, Homer Hitchcock, Amos Robin
