The base ball teams from Hamlin
and Indian Greek met on the Elk
horn grounds last Sunday and put up
one of the best games played this sea-
son. The first seven or eight innings
showed the teams to be about even as
both sides famed as soon as they went
to bat but in the last inning the boys
got ratified and the score stood ii 10
10 in favor Of the Indian Creeks.
The Kimballton Rifle Club met the
first of the week for their annual tree
shoot at the home of Thos. Thompson
east of Kimballton, and had a good
time all day. Hans Olsen took first
prize, Vadamer Rasmussen second,
Chris Christoffersen third, George
Hartvengsen fourth, Fred Christoffier-
sen fifth, the sixth we did not learn,
Andrew Jensen the seventh and Ole
Olsen the eighth. A dance followed
in the evening to which all the young
people went for night of revelry.
Henry Jacobsen of Audubon was
married Wednesday at the home of
Jens Peter Jensen near Sharon to
young lady whose name we did not
learn. Jens is in the coal business in
Audubon and has a good and grow
ing trade. He is young man not
afraid of work and possesses those
elements that will insure him success
in life. The young lady has not been
over here very long but knows we'll
the ways Of the world and will make
a good helpmate for him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jens R. Christensen
up by Sharon, were called upon to
part with their eighteen months old
baby last Wednesday whom the angel
Of death touched and took on it's sable
wings to dwell IN that baby land Of
love and cheer and hope beyond. The
burial service took place last Satur-.
day and the little one was buried at
the Botanic church. Thus bud was
plucked ere it had opened into the
glorious possibilities of full
blossom. A child that made home
sweeter and life brighter by its smile
and merry prattle wove the string of
its little heart into the father and
mothers love only to sever them and
go back home where they may all
meet again in time to come.
