STOLE THE COUNTY SEAT.
Raid Made During Blizzard and Rec
ords Captured.

Raid Made During 6ilzzaro ana neS
ords Captured.
Sioux City, Jan. 2.-Bangor. county
seat of Walworth county, South Da-
kota, was the scene Of county seat
raid during the great blizzard last
week. Thirty men from Selby, fifteen
miles away, invaded Bangor in the
dead of night, during terrific storm,
when the air was full of snow, and the
mercury nearly frozen, captured the
records of the county. loaded them onto
sledges and hauled them back to Sell
by.
The two towns have long been rivals
for the county seat, and last fall the
election on the question, resulted In
nominal victory for Bangor. Selby
starting a contest which is still pend
ing. The case has reached point
where possession would count as ten
points In the law, and the Selby people
decided on a bold move. Adopting
Japanese tactics they made the assault
lust when 1t could not possibly have
been expected.
The town Of Bangor was fearful Of
such a move, and had planned to re-
pulse an assault. But the attack was
too cleverly made. The assailants APP
preached from different directions, cap
tured the court house after midnight,
tied up the Waterman, and then took
their time to pack up the records. 1t
took three hours for this, but it was ac-
complished without suspicion getting
abroad Of what was doing.
The storm ragged more fiercely than
ever when the vandals started on their
return trip to Selby, but they were full
ly prepared for it, and before noon the
next day they were at home. A court
house was established in a business
building, where people having public
business may present themselves. The
new county officers, who come into Of
flee after January 1 are largely Selby
men. People who decline, meantime,
to do business at Selby, are at liberty
to leave it undone. Selby is ready to
defend it's claim at any time or place,
as the pugilists say. and Bangor, wild
with rage, declares if the courts do not
give it the final victory, it will take the
| records by violence, even tho it causes
civil war in the county.

Control of Ownership.

The notion that such legislation as

industriously propogated by certain

THE FIRST GOLF BALLS.
They Were Made Of Bulls HID stutfed
With Feathers.


With Feathers.
The first golf balls were made OF
leather of Unframed bulls hide, two
round pieces forming the ends and
a piece for the middle. These pieces
were softened, shaped and firmly
sewed together, a small hole being
left through which the feathers
might afterward be inserted.
Before stuffing the leather sphere
was turned outside in-an operation
not without its dificulties-so that
the seams would be on the inside.
The skin was then placed IN a
cup shaped stand, the worker hay
ing the feathers in an apron before
him, and the stufing was done with
a steel rod.
This was very hard work, as may
be imagined. The aperture was then
closed, the seam sewed up, and the
only-seam showing was this tiny
one.
But the life of each ball was short.
The seams soon opened, and the
feathers protruded. On wet day
the water would be seen driven OF
in a shower every time the ball was
struck.
And the moisture added to its
weight. so that a ball that started
as a twenty-eight would soon weigh
a pound. If the match was an inn
portant one new ball must be put
down at each hole.
With these disadvantages one can
see that a new kind of ball was much
needed and made many converts to
the game. =,
Although the gutta percha ball
used on the links is seemingly per-
feet. the inventor is busy trying to
make one even better. The ball
made of this material has been in
use since 1913.
A golfer of that period expert
mented with piece of india rubber
and succeeded in fashioning it into
shape. But when it was put into
use it was found that it was not q
success.
1t would leave the club all right,
but after going a short distance ii
would duck down, SO its use was
abandoned.
The caddies amused Themselves
with the discarded invention until
it was pretty well nicked up. Tc
the surprise of everybody the ball
with the addition of the cuts, could
sail through the air much better
than the old one.
The next mold was nicked to give
the gutta percha sphere the same
lines, and this, with one improve
mept after another, is the ball IL
use today.-New York Journal.

lessons at a certain Sunday school
the superintendent made a short ad-
dress to the assembled classes. At
the end of his remarks he said:
"Now, all you boys and girls that
would like to go to heaven when you
die hold up your hands"
Instantly every child had a hand
IN the air except one little fellow
sitting in the far corner, who, IN
answer to the, superintendent
question, Don't you want to go to
heaven?" replied, "NO, stree, not II

In cooking fish it should not be

same time it must not be put into

are exceptions to the above. For in
stance, salmon, especially if just
caught, should be put into cold wa

but the general rule is to put fish
