high when the score was tied on
the ninth inning and through the
ninth and tenth inning every thing
was pandemonium. The eleventh
inning resulted in victory to Extra
with score of 8 TOT. This part of
the entertainment was good and

KANGAROO COURT
The Band boys have contracted
for some new suits and esta blished
kangaroo court the last day and
brought every body before it they
could get hold of and fined them.

every body took it as joke as the
boys accepted only the money
given cheerfully. The mayor was
up before them and heavily fined.

they did not hit him hard enough
and doubled it and helped them all
