The fall had been notably fine.
The bright forenoon had wit

the fields gathering the always
abundant corn crop, when with
cut warning, came the fearful
blast, accompanied. ~ clouds of

following morning, to attest
the severity of the blizzard, we

OF 81 and 81, SO iiercely in
augurated, wore YEARLY on,

but not in very close succession.
On the 18th, 10Th and 18th OF
April came the deepest snow OF
the season. but fortunately it
soon melted away, still the corn
fields were INSTRUCTED with
snow banks andice. About the
first of May farmers were able
to resume corn husking and
about the usual time the wei

were heard and planting began
in earnest The following
autumn the prophecy of an
1856 pioneer was again fulfilled,
viz, Harrison county always

behooves us each to be grateful
and thankful for the blessings
we so increasingly receive.

j. 7. Brown of Sioux City
was in the Valley last night,
and was held up and robbed in
the alley between LIST and West
street. Earl Fouts was arrest
ted and is charged with doing
the ROBBERY. The information
filed against him before Justice
Dole charges him with high

person and assault. The man
robbed was talking of wanting
to buy a team and it is said he
was enticed into the alley on
the plea that the robbers had a
team there to show him. George
Marshall was arrested at the
same time as Fouts, but he is
not charged with having any,

DITCH CONTRACTS AGAIN
faFLD up BY COURT ORDER
Judge Dcemer Of the Supreme
Court Continues the InjunC-
tiOn Until October "a
This Prevents the Supervisors
From Taking Action Today
as Intended

In accordance with an order
of Judge Macy, extending the
restraining order against the
boards of supervisors of Harri-
son and Pottawattamie coun-
ties, in the suit of r. A. Brown
& Co., the order will expire at
l::3O o'clock this afternoon
without further action of the
court.
The order was to have eX-
pired Saturday, but the time
was extended on application of
J. S. Dewell of Missouri Valley,
one of the attorneys for Brown
& Co., on the strength of a
showing that both he and his
associate, Geo. S. Wright, were
so busy with other important
matters that they had been UNI
able to take the matter up with
the supreme court judges.
Judge Deemer of the supreme
court yesterday issued an order
continuing the injunction until
Tuesday, October "a, when the
matter will be heard before the
entire bench. The order will
be served on the members of
the board of supervisors when
they meet today.
The supervisors had timed
today's meeting with a view to
the termination of the restrain
ing order. 1t was their inten-
ton to enter into contract at
once with the Western Dredg-
ing companv and Pollard, Golf
& Co., the bidders to whom the
contracts for the construction
of the Harrison-P ottawattamie
drainage bitches were let, but
Judge Deemer's order again
ties the matter up.

The Ecct E.aIl Game.

1t rained somewhat Saturday
but our highschool football
team plowed their way to Coun-
,cil Bluffs and in the rain on
partially skinned checkerboard
met the Bluffs team which won
.. from our boys 20 to 0; but it
was not an inglorious defeat.
To be sure the advantages were
in many ways equal. Every
gain made by the Bluffs team
was made on a tumble. The
game began by a kick off to
to the Valley. The ball landed
squarely in the middle of the
skinned diamond which resem-
bled very much an Arkansas
loglot. In four downs the Val
ley had pushed out and onto
the green. Every man was
so muddy that they all looked
alike and and a good clean fell
low would have deserved a
ducking in a frog pond. The
pigskin was as slippery as if it
had been CREASED and when
fairly clutched would shoot out
of the arms like fresh water
melon seed from the fingers.
The only fumbles were due
to the slippery condition of the
ball.
The Bluffs soon learned it
was impossible to break our
line and played one continual
tion of end runs. There gains
were made by a Splinter and
hudler who holds the state
championship as such in high
school records. But our boys
played a gritty game and are
not ashamed of it, neither need
any of our townsmen need be
ashamed of our games. We
notice the Bluffs turned down
1.-THE challenge from Ida Grove,
and they did so rightly for our
boys could beat them fairly on
a dry checkerboard and with
our defeat at the Grove the
Bluffs might we'll fear to ac-
cept their challenge. Be it
sa d to our credit several of
our best players could not be
there and the game was played
with sub ends. We will gladly
meet the Bluffs again on a dry
ground with fair opportunities
and show them the mettle of
the Valley boys.
