| Willmar and Litch6eld are both
getting to be great base ball towns.

from Litch6eld to the Grower says
that last Sunday afternoon an extra
freight pulled in there from the West
and had on board a passenger from
Willmar that was mad clear through
just because he was carried by Grove
City. The dispatch says that the
young man-that's the passenger-was
a railroad man and had planned to
visit young lady at this place and
the trainmen had found out his ipten-
tions, so when the engineer got onto
the down grade west of town he pulled
the trottle wide open and the train
went through here like streak of
creased lightning loose at both ends.
And there perched upon a box car,
was the would-be visitor, hanging on
like flee on frightened dog, and
the only vision he got of the fair one
was drawn out to about four rods in
length as he was whirled past the de-
pot. While in Litch6eld the young
man went on record as being in favor
of patronizing nothing but passenger
trains hereafter when he goes on an
important trip.-Grove City Times.
