courage sufficiently to relate these
tornado incidents:
Frederick Van Wagner told Of a
man who was out blowing and, see
ing the storm approaching, unhitched
While he and the team were sheltered
in the barn, the cyclone seized the
plOW, took it round and round until
the field was entirely plOwed and then
carried the implement to the barn
yard.
Frederick Wentworth knew a fell
low that had a crib full of corn ana
the crib had a knot hole in it. The
twister pulled all the cObs out of the
knot hole and thus shelled the corn.
A bale of cotton at the Waltner
mercantile store was torn open by the
terrible twister and twisted it into a
quarter-inch rope of 1923 yards long.
The rope is being sold at 20 cents a
foot.
On one wagon a wheel was started
revolving so rapidly that it still turns
and all efforts to stop it are of no
avail

DAYTON'S BALL ASSOCIATION.
Took so Per Cent of Stock and All
Gate Receipts to Pay Up the
Indebtedness.

Dispatch: The directors of the
Dayton Baseball association cleaned
up the business of the organization for
this year wiping out all Indebtedness
of the seasons of 1902 and 1903, there
being an unpaid balance from last
wear. 1t required all the net proceeds
of the games played and 60 per cent
Of the stock to settle up.
From last year there was debt OF
about $425, which was assumed by six
local fans. This year 200 shares were
subscribed at 81 each. About 60 per
cent of this and $651.45, the net re-
ceipts of the games played making
something in the neighborhood OF
1911, that was required to pay off
this seasons debts. In the neighbOr-
hood of $140O was paid for salaries

attend to and it is not probable they
will try to finance another team unless
it is a home aggregation.
Work was commenced Monday
morning remodeling the Christian
church of this city. Two thousand
dollars will be spent in making the
church one of the best in this section.
1t is the intention of those having
the work in hand to make the church
larger and the interior arrangement
better than at present.
