lowing rne Great La Moure. Marion |
Baseball Game-How Judge Hughes and
Colonel Dlesem chu- chued Into an Open
,AlI-Nlght Slough and Had the Time Of
Their Lives.
The Marion, N. D., Sentinel tells Of the
sad n1isadventure that befel Judge Hughes
and Colonel Diesem, who went down from
La Moure to see the La Mourines play
pingpong with the Marion baseball giants.
Judge Hughes hollered SO loud over the
La Moure victory-1O to 4-that he nearly
strained suspender. But these two gem
tlemen had their DOWNFALL for by the time
they reached the county seat the next
morning, the Sentinel says they felt
like 30 cents invested on the 800 share
plan In oil stock
The new automobile called "The Two
jolly Threshers,' with the Judge and the
colonel aboard, left Marion at dusk and
boWled along at spanking gait until the
night put on it's blacklist colors and set
tied like pail upon the prairie road
which seemed like one long succession of
soft spots. AS rule, the devil wagon
went thru the places without winking,
tho at times it threw about a ton Of
mud into the air and made a noise like
a. threshing machine striking a wrench
that some one had fed it by mistake.
Toward the middle of the night the ma
chine took a slough. 1t was half full Of
water and paved with four feet Of mud,
and In about thirty seconds North Dako-
ta's top dressing had a jiu-jits clutch
on the auto and would not give up. The
boys got out into seventeen feet Of trouble
and waded around for awhile and their
language was free and picturesque. They
finally managed to wake up a neighboring
farmer (Who came to the door in his
pajamas), and wanted to borrow a buggy
q If wi n1 txxC
stout critters" With these quick aids
to the injured they made their way back
to where the auto and North Dakota were
In their death grapple and managed to
drag the state off. After wiping little
mud trying the joints of the machine and
finding all taut and giving the farmer
quarter for his trouble, they made their
way by the pale dawnlight into the
county seat. AS soon as the hardware
shop was open Judge Hughes slipped in
and inquired:
'How much are your best aeroplanes
this morning?"

Possibly you may recall Jonah who took
part in that little affair which the whale

news comes from the far east that the au-

rated in part. A basalt STEELE found by
Father Scheil in the Archaeological mu-

She heard the rumble of the ice wagon
wheels down the street and went to the
front of the lot to await its coming.
'sWish you would sell me piece Of
ice,' she said as the man with the tongs
approached.
"Id like to com odate YOU lady," he
said, "but de fact is, you're on de wrong
side of the street. Our wagon don't serve

lady,

Business in Royalton came to sudden
standstill last week when the Little Ger
man Band paraded the streets at the head
Of the Fats and the Leans on their way to
the Ball park to settle the question of SUI
prehacy. The parade caused much
amusement as it was impossible to tell
whether the band was blowing off Be
della" or my Country, IT'S of Thee"
But it made a noise and that served
The Leans put up a snappy game and
had made their brags that they were
going to wipe the diamond with their fat
friends. They were mistaken. The Obese
Giants threw it into the Living Skeletons
to the tune of 80 to II, tho a part of this
score was due to DR.. Chance, the umpire,
who operated daringly on the Leans on
several occasions, the operation being
successful the patients dying at first
base. The Leans at first put Captain Beer
in the box, but the Fats blew his foam off
in the first inning. They then substituted
Pitheon, who at one time pitched for
Omaha, but he did not make good, and
McCollun was substituted and then
Carnes, but nothing could save the Leans
from defeat. Himsel, Fietsam, Dragoo
and Bouck-well the less said the better.
They proved easy victims to the twirling
of the fat boy Wilson, who showed good
head and fine staying qualities.
| The Fats proved themselves better all
around players, especially better batters
and base runners. Coke did not shine
with much brilliancy as batter, but he
always managed to get to first and proved
an excellent base runner, as also die
Kramps, in spite of his avoirdupois Ku-

for the Fats. Rhoda caught a good game
while he lasted, when Kurowski was SUB
