RREAKs HUsKING RECORD.
Illinois Boy Husks and Cribs 162 Bush
els In Less Than 10 Hours.

Carl Roberts, a young man living
near wyanet, Bureau county. ILL.,, on
Monday, October 80, husked, weighed
and shoveled into the crib 162 bushels
and 10 pounds of corn in nine hours
and 80 minutes as the results OF a
wager, says the Chicago Livestock
World.
Roberts was in the village barber
shop the Saturday evening previous
and incidentally mentioned that he
had husked as high as 162 bushels of
corn in a day
His statement was not only chal-
lenged but ridiculed by the bystanders,
such record being unknown. Roberts
declared his ability to make good
however, and offered to wager $50
that he could husk and crib 1876 bush
els in 10 hours.
His money was quickly covered by
d, G. Fletcher, the barber, and Vita
b. Hamrick, a farmer living near Wy
anet, and It was agreed that the husk-
ing should take place the following
Monday upon the farm of w. O. Wy
anet.
Roberts began husking five minutes
before o'clock.
The first load of Al bushels he
brought in, weighed and shoveled into
the crib in two hours and Is minutes,
the unloading consuming but II min
utes.
His second load was in and cribbed
at 1895. During the husking of this
load drizzling rain set in and con-
tinued throughout the day, softening
the husks and making his task doubly
difficult.
After the second load Roberts stop
ped 20 minutes for dinner, but was in
with his third load at 1:15 p. M,
which he shoveled from the wagon In
nine minutes, the bystanders looking
on in amazement
Makes Good Time.
The scale book now showed that he
needed but 3S bushels to complete the
amount and that he was ahead of his
time. However, he did not lessen his
speed, but kept right on going in the
same old way, and had his fourth load
in and cribbed at 3.45, which, taking
out the 20 minutes for dinner, made
his actual time 9 hours and 80 minutes
for the 162 bushels and 10 pounds
with 80 minutes to spare.
Roberts was required not only to
weigh his load in. but also weigh his
wagon each time after unloading
making eight times on the scales.

the noon hour that several Of his play
ers had gone ON a strike he hunted
around and found three substitutes
and by using the rest Of his men at
different positions he patched up a
team to play Henderson. His line up
was as follows: Dunn. catcher;l Eek
stone, pitcher; Fleming, short stop;
Hord, first base; Roland, second base;
Vitter. third base, Adcock, left field;
Gnau, center field; Williams, right
field. Fleming who played short was
a fielder, Hord a catcher, played first,
Nitter. the first baseman, played third,
teh left and right FEEDERS were local
players In the second game Fleming
pitched and Eekstone played short,
Adcock, one of our locals, tried to
play short, but cut Of five that came TO
him he did not handle any well and he
was put back IN the field The jokers
played good game against such odds
and In the first game the Hens were
held at 6 to @, and in the second 3 to
/. The second game was the better
of the two. Eckstone pitched good
game and would have been let down
with four or five hits. but seven were
charged to him in the game; two or
three perhaps would have been taken

there, The Henderson boys played a

1t Was Fine.

The prettiest, cleverest and

ever witnessed here drew d
large crowd at the Winalow

with the performance of Era
Diavolo' by the Beggar Prince

The play is of an exceedingly
high standard and presented by
a cast of actors and actresses
who are truly artists in their
profession.
A number of persons, who
have witnessed this play in
larger cities, and as played by
different companies, stated that
this was the oest performance
of that they had ever seen.
1t is very seldom that Wins

G.. w. GRAHAM
WAS CAUGHT
Near Albuquerque By Sheriff
HOuck and is Now in the
HOlbrOOk Jail.

Last week the MAIL told of
the doings in Flagstaff and this
city of a smooth guy named
Gordon W. Ora ham.
1t is with pleasure that we in
form our readers that be is now
an inmate of the county Jail at
Holbrook, having been appre
hended by Sheriff Houck at a
place near Albuquerque called
Mcintosh. He was brought
here and arraigned before JUS
tice Finn yesterday. He waiv-
ed examlna tion and was bound
over to await the action of the
grand jury under a $500 bond.
which he could not raise, but
states that he may give the nee
essay pond before court con-
venes this fall.
The Albuquerque Journal has
the following to say about Gra-
ham:
Graham spent week or SO
in Albuquerque and attempted
to do some crooked work with
a we'll known jewellery firm,
some insurance people. a cloth
ier and others. He was a we'll
appearing young fellow and
made himself extremely agree
able to the people he met. He
made various allegations con-
corning himself which were
fairy tales on the face of them.
among other things claiming
that he was a cousin of the Gra-
ham brothers, of this city. The
police were aware of his pres
ence in the city, but as they had
received no word from the west
ern towns. it was thought that
Graham was merely a "hot air
merchant" such as often drift
into the city. His attempts TO
do local merchants were ultima
tely unsuccessful, and Vas mat
ters now stand no one is out
anything on account of his visit
here. F"
We learn that the draft he
was suppoed to have cashed in
Flagstaff for $3.50 was only for
warded to Los Angeles by the
Gosney & Perkins Bank in order
find out whether it was good or
not, so the bank was not injur-
ed, as was first reported.
Graham pawned Gillard S
gold watch and chain in Albu-
querque.
