Foot Ball.

The first foot ball game We have
heard of this season was the one which
took place at the Audubon fair Thurs
day afternoon, the Audubon and Extra
teams being the contestants.
In the 40 minutes Of play Audubon
rolled up score of 3S to o against her
opponents.
The score might have been less had
Extra used good generalship at critical
stages of the game. Their only strength
lay in kicking game but they failed
to see their opportunity.
Then they were slow in calling their
signals, and in making their formations
and their play was listless and lacked
SNAP. 1t must be said however in
defense of Extra, that every one of their
team were gentlemen. The entire
game was free from smuggling. There
was but little off side work and were
but two penalties imposed during the
entire game.
Almost the entire game was played
in Extras territory and at no time was
Audubon's goal in danger, the ball
never getting closer than the 25 yard
line.
Only three times during the game
was Extra able to make their gains
while Audubon never failed. Their
team work was better, and their backs"
far swifter than were those of Extra.
Sprinkle, McFarlane, Rippey, Kline,
and Maharg are especially deserving of
mention. while perhaps Fulton was the
star for Extra.

Fridays Storm.

Last Friday at about II a. N one Of
the most violent electrical storms passed
over Audubon that the town has ever
experienced. It came from the west,
not threatening to be hard storm, but
when it arrived electricity seemed to be
in the very air. Vivid flashes and awful
crashes came in quick succession, start
ling the bravest Of our people. This
was kept up for perhaps five minutes
during which time lightning struck
three times in town, in Mrs. Russelps
yard, Mr.. Ahlms barn and d. @. Ross
barn. A large tree in Mrs. RusselPs
yard was struck and split, one part fall
ing over on the porch, breaking small
part of the ornamental work. No other
damage was done there. Mr.. Ahlm is q
carpenter and occupies what was form
erly the Jarmin property in West Audu-
bon. The barn was struck and one Of
the two horses in it killed, a pedigreed
mare worth 5000. The other borse was
uniniured and the barn suffered but
little damage.
d. @. Ross has nice property in the
east part Of town. He saw the storm
coming up, went out and ran the buggy
in the barn and returned to the house.
Then the hard thunder commenced
He and his wife heard a strange noise
and went to see what it was. Finding
the barn was on fire he pulled the buggy
out, then passed to the other side and
forced open the door and found the
horses still standing, but surrounded by
fire so it was impossible to remove them.
He and the help that had then arrived
gave their attention to saving the house
which was in danger from it's proximity
and the direction of the wind. In this
work they were soon relieved by
the fire company who arrived and turned
on hose. The company having to run
up hill we're nearly tagged out. There
was plenty Of pressure and the stream
