Marshalltown had visit yester-
day from one whom every one likes to
see; one who played his first game of
base ball here; one who organized the
first club, which was a good one too,
even for those early days, and one Who
after learning his first lessons, went to-
Chicago, developed into a professional
of the most prominent base ball man
the country has ever seen, even tho at
present he is not engaged in the bust
ness - Capt. Adrian c. Arson, Our
Ada as Marshaltown is wont to call
him. Capt. Arson had been to Garner
10 act as umpire in tournament held
there, and stopped off here while on his
way back to Chicago to visit his father
Hon. Henry Arson. Capt. Arson looks
as natural as ever and did not have to
be introduced his his former friends
even if it has been long time since he
visited them. Altho not directly inter
ested in base ball, in a financial way, at
present, Capt. Arson is deeply interested
in it as game, reads the doings OF the
different clubs very closely and goes oc-
casionally. You can't Kill Ill he said.
