-Nightwatch Kildee arrested a
man Saturday evening and put him
in the cooler. Not long after a friend
of the prisoner walked up to the city
hall and two hours from the time
of the arrest Kildee had no more
prisoner than a rabbit. Appearances
indicate that the bird had help fIom
the outside. The lock had been
opened with a key; no force had
been used. The officer has his sus-
picions as to the identity of the as
sistaut, but it is too early to mention
that part of the matter in detail. 1t
is a serious matter to take part in a
jail breaking, and especially for n
on the outside. Kildee will make
every effort to land the gentleman
who assisted, and also to get the
man he had locked up. Pat simply
''has his Irish up" and it will not
down.
The baseball tournament Fri
day and Saturday was not so we'll
attended as the management had a
right to expect, considering the at
traction secured. Renville, Mimi,
and Hawarden, Iowa, played the
three games resulting in the victory
for Renville throughout. The score
Friday was Is to 2 ia favor of Rem
vile; Saturday morning 5 to 3, and
in the afternoon 10 to 4 in favor of
the same team. In the FIRST game
the Hawarden team went to pieces
in the second inning, giving Rem
vile six scores. From such a run
Hawarden could not recover. Rem
vile outclasees Hawarden in nearly
all respects, although the latter
team is composed of good ball play
ers for the most part. The umpire
in the first two games was a Mr..
Hogan, who makes headquarters at
Iroquois. The game vas altogether
too swift for Mr.. Hogan. He seem.
ed to want TO be fair in his decisions,
but was out of his class. The last
game was umpired by Dan Buckley,
of Bryant. Dan did a fair job but
the game was a little to swift for
him. 1t was a good exhibition of
ball playing even if it was one sided.
1t certainly deserved a more liberal
patronage than was accorded by our
people. To maintain the Athletic
association, and put up good attrac-
tons requires the liberal support OF
our people. An enterprise of that
kind cannot be maintained on such
patronage as IA given this series
