sufferer in the Carmen, o. T., cyclone
last Saturday, his residence being
wrecked. but luckily himself and wife
escaping injury.
Our ball team defeated Galatia
again last Saturday by score of 9

and Pawnee Rock scalps dangling at
the belts of our team.
Wonders will never cease. Hois-
ington Won ball game last Sunday,
