ING THIS EVENING.

An adjourned meeting Of the cred

dend will be paid from the bankrupt
estate.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Anderson
paid $1,000 to Hurd & WedgwOOd at

Kunzer Loses Hard Earned Money.
Mr.. Schettler called at the receiver
Office yesterday afternoon and while he
was there one of the depOsitors, a Swiss
farmer by the name of KUnzer, came
in. kunZeT'S case is one of the many
pathetic cases which have developed
since the bank went under. BY the
hardest kind of industry he had ac-
cumulated about $500 in the course OF
several years, and this money he hoped
would some day be the nest-egg with
which he could buy a little home, so
that the closing years of his life might
be passed in some degree of comfort
Il took this money TO you, Mr.. Schet-
tier, because L pitied your condition,
he said The fact that you were
cripple appealed to me. 1 said TO my
self. with my money he may be able
TO earn a little for both Of u.s. and so
I gave it to you, not knowing that you
were beyond want. Do you know how
that money was earned?"
Lonely Life Led.
Kunzer then told him that for years
he had toiled for from So TO SIS per
month at a place across the desert. and
that many times he had been compelled
to sleep upon the frozen ground and
to go without food or water. The one
thing he regretted was that he would
have to return to the old life and give
up his dream of home comforts. Be
fore leaving the Office he turned to
Schettler and said
''Will you let me have 50? I need it
very much"

YALE VICTORIOUS.

Last Saturday was an ideal base ball
day and good-siZed crowd witnessed
one of the best exhibitions of the ma
tional sport ever pulled off in Yale, the
game being between the Yale and Port
Huron High School teams.
Up to the fourth inning it looked as
though neither side was going to score,
but Evans managed to step across the
carpet before the side wa down and
out. In the sixth Palmer scored and
in the seventh Cough and Baxter got
around to the plate, making a total of
four scores. The boys from the city
carried home nice big goose egg.
The visiting bunch were good boys
and hard players, and came up with the
intention of giving Yale some pointers
but our boys needed no instructions, as

junior base ball aggregation invited
the Yale juniors over for a friendly
game and the "kids" went over The
game was called off on account of rain,
but the boys from here received a les
son in entertaining which they will
never forget. If all reports are true
land so far we have heard nothing to
the contrary the rising generation in
our sister village is as full of rotten
ness as the "old boys" and it is won
der they get any games on their home
grounds with the neighboring teams.
\ return game was arranged for Fri
day and our boys won easily. The vis-
itors were treated with respect and all
their expenses were paid without a
whimper. If the Capac players have
even a small pinch of manliness in
them, we should think the treatment
they received here would cause them
considerable embarrassment and might
possibly be the means of teaching them
how to treat visitors.
