Business Meeting, Election, Reports
and Banquet.

The annual meeting Of the active
membership of the Oskaloosa Y. M.
G. A. was held at the new building at
six-thirty o'clock Wednesday evening
at which time supper was served by
the ladies of the Auxiliary. The ia
bles were handsome with cut flowers,
the gift Of Mrs. w. E. Kemble. Fol-
lowing splendid meal the meeting
proceeded with the business in hand
and the reports of the year were re-
ceived from the several departments
of the organization and are appended.
Election of board members to sup
ply the places Of Walter ca Wilson,
Neri Ogden and john Renfrew, whose
terms have expired, or who have re-
moved from the city, resulted in the
choice of F. E. Baker to succeed him
self, HI. L. Spencer John Ramsay and
T. G. Johnson. The board then re-
tired to their room and proceeded to
organize as follows:
President--C. NJ Porter.
Vice President Ralph Burnside.
Treasurer-H. s. Howard.
Recording Secretary-D. w. Det-
wiler.
All felt gratified with the showing
made for the year and were well

for the association.

WILD MAN IN TOW.
Fairfield Authorities Capture a Wan.
dering Foreigner.

Fairfield, Ia, Jan. 8. - Sheriff
Wright has wild man in custody
who has for months terrified the peo-
pie of this section. He was found on
the farm of William Parsons, who,
with the help of neighbors, captured
him. The man was scantily dressed
and carried flint stones and an old
razor to make fires with. He was
captured once before in September,
but escaped from the buggy in which
he was being brought here. Then
he was very wild but he is now
more docile, probably due to fear of
freezing.
The insane commissioners could
not understand him today as he
speaks no English, but plainly he is
not insane. Many foreign languages
were spoken to him but he answered
none until Polander was secured.
To him he told the following story:
Il came in a ship a year ago, and got
off at New York. went to Chicago
to find two sisters, but when | got
there l couldn't find them I tried to
get work, but got discouraged be-
cause no enc spoke my language"
He has been in the woods in this
county since July terrifying all who
saw him. How he has lived is a mys-
terry. He will be taken to Chicago
tomorrow.

BIG FACTORY IN SIGHT
0skaloCsa Has Chance to Get an
Industrial Plant.

Oskaloosa has a great opportunity
just now to secure another big fac.
tory, one that would employ twenty
five people to start with and would
not come in competition with any
other institution. The factory is now
in operation in a neghboring city,
and for that reason all the details
can not be made pubic. The factory,
however, is uable to secure help
enough where 4 Is lccated. and does
not have suf1c ent capital to equip
its plant on a large enough scale to
meet the demands CT its, growing
trade. No bonus is asked, but sub
scriptions for stock are sought, with
the best of prospects for good profits.
The business is an established one
and the output a staple article.
Here is great chance for some
one with capital to make money for
himself and to help build up the town,
thereby enhancing the value of his
other property.
III. w. Lyman, secretary of the
Commercial Club, is conversant with
the proposition and will be glad to
explain the matter to any one inter
ested Oskaloosa should have the en-
terprise by all means.

ESCAPED THE BULLETS.
But Two Boys Had Decidedly I'm.
pleasant Experience.

Clint Nash and Harry Cameron,
who reside in the neighborhood of the
Adams school, had an unpleasant ex-
perience a few evenings ago, return
ing to their homes in a buggy be-
tween nine and ten o'clock. Their
horse had slowed down to a walk go
ing up hill. The boys became aware
of some one ON foot quite close be-
hind them and turned to see who it
might be. Suddenly the horse SHE'D
and started to run and the fellow be-
hind commenced shooting at the
boys. The balls whizzed past their
heads and came very close to the
mark, but fortunately neither of the
boys were hit. What could have
been the object or the intention OF
the assailant can only be surmised
1t may have been an attempted hold
up. The boys, SO far as they know
have not an enemy, and they are Oh
the opinion that it was joke, some
one attempting to brighten them. II
that was the object the boys say that
the attempt was perfectly successful
for they were a badly scared pair Of

BASKET BALL GAME.
ottumwa Wins From the Local Y. M.
c. A. Team.

Concerning the basket ball game at
Ottumwa the Courier says:
Again last night the local Young
Mems Christian Association basket
ball team demonstrated its ability to
play the game when it defeated the
representatives of the Oskaloosa
branch by the overwhelming score Of
AZ to 6. The local players were in
fast form and played snappy game
throughout. Oskaloosa, too, was
brisk, but inferior work in throwing
the baskets lost the game for the Wis.
itors. The guarding game put up by
Oskaloosa, in comparison with that
of Ottumwa's recent victim, Washing.
ton, showed up much better, yet the
players from the Mahaska capital
were unable to cnecK Dingeman, when
that phenomenally agile forward once
got started. Ottumwa, too, was bet
ter in caging the ball on free throws,
Nelson making four points on fouls
by the Oskaloosans. Left Forward
Walton was successful but twice in
twelve attempts for the baskets on
free throws.
The ginger and head work of Dinge-
man and Linton, the excellent guard
ing of Morrissey and Buckner and
the field playing - Telson, were all
factors in giving Oskaloosa such a
small number of points. Carl Swim
gle, who will be remembered here as
captain of the OskaIoosa high school
foot ball team, put up strong game
at center. He and Nelson were very
evenly matched Right Guard Chas.
Hoover, Royce Dingeman's opponent,
was perhaps the best man the local
player had confronted this season.
The Oskaloosan is tall and showed
the ability to exercise his height in
blocking Dingeman's attempts at the
basket. However, the swift little
Ottumwan with his neat overhead
throw succeeded in caging the ball
several times"

REcREANT RETURNS.
Tardy Lover, Once Given Up, Arrives
at Centerville.

Centerville, Jan. 9.-With no an
nouncement of his coming, M. A. Nc
Gee appeared at the home of Miss
Grace Brown yesterday, the promi-
nent young society woman who about
a month ago had prepared for her
wedding to Mr.. MCGEE and when the
hour arrived he failed to appear.
Though they are now keeping their
plans secret it is expected the wed
ding will take place soon. 1t seems
that the lover has explained matters
to the satisfaction Of his sweetheart
and she has forgiven him the disap.
pointment he caused her.
