Last Thursday was a gala day for
the Sunday school classes presided
over by Mrs. Owen Ide and Mr.. Cou-
SINS. The young people of their
classes filled their baskets with the
best in the land, mounted hay rack
and hied themselves to the grove
north of Mr.. Cousins place, spread
their lunch, ate, drank and were mer-
~. They made the welkin ring with
cheer and song and youth. One of the
exciting events of the day was a ball
game between Council Bluffs, manag-
ed by Bessie Ide, and Omaha manag-
cd by limo Bison, with score of 4 to
IN favor of Council Bluffs. The
Council Bluffs battery was Nose
Brinkerhoff and Wendell Smith with
Bessie Ide on first, Gertie Cousins,
second, Zephyr Smith, third, Sophia
sorensen, short stop, and Mary Cot
ton in the field. The Omaha battery
was Clarence Christensen and Will
Essington with Mildred Bartlett,
first, Chas. Young, second, Vera An
derson, third, limo Bison, short stop,
and Mamie Essington in the field.
1t was an exciting game from first to
last and highly enjoyed by all pres
ent. When the twilight began to
glow the young people again loaded
on the hay rack and wendell their
way home.
