Mont Blystone, who resides near Kidd
vile, does not lay any claim to fast stock
of any kind but he always has a pretty
good team nevertheless. He is not much
interested in races as a general rule and
he has less use for them since Friday last
than he has ever had before.
On that day he drove into town with a
load Of corn which he took to the Chap
pell mill and unloaded While in the act
of backing out from the shed the bridge
over the race gave way and both horses
were suddenly entered in the race in
about eight feet Of water. The gates
were quickly lowered and the horses were
soon on the bottom, both Of them unin-
jured. This happened about noon but il
was not until late in the afternoon when
they were finally taken out Of their prison.
A broken harness was the only damage
resulting from the accident

Night ProwIers scared People In
Belding.
A long time has elapsed since there has
been anything like burglar scare in this
city but last week there were several at
tempted house breakngs reported from
various parts of the city. Last Thursday
night, or rather about two O'Clock Friday
morning, burglars tried to gain an en-
trance into the home of Mr.. and Mrs Ed
Trail. Mrs. Trail was awakened about
that time and hearing noise on the porch
quickly pulled down curtain which
scared the marauders and caused them 10
run away rapidly. a girl working for Mrs.
M. A. Reed catching glimpse of them m
their flight
Saturday morning the burglars trieo to
effect an entrance into the home of DR..
and Mrs. B. j. Fitzmorris but as on the
former occasion, they we're fortunately
scared away. In both cases the officers
were notified but unfortunately failed TO
secure any clue to the unwelcome guests.
Other people in the city are claiming to
have heard strange noises Of late and it
would seem very good idea to see that
all doors and windows are securely
fastened these warm nights.

VIII be an Excellent Game.
The ball game last Saturday between
the Hubs and the Stanton team which
was played on the latter's ground, proved
hot game from the start. being W messed
by very enthusiastic but small crowd.
The game was pitched by Drummonc
for Beldng and Kench for Stanton both
pitching their best and making 1t very
uncertain hitting. Belding again showed
that she is there with the willow by max
ing | 2 hits off Kench who only managed
to retire four OF the Hubs batters, while
Stanton succeeded in rapping the horse
hide for only five safe ones and nine Of
their men were benched by Drummond.
The hits, with the exception of three
two baggers, were singles and well pac-
ed. Two of the two baggers were made
by Beldng in the ninth when they were
badly needed, the first was by Jersey
with long drive to center which landed
him safely on the second sack. which was
followed by another in the same hole by
Ellis which brought Jersey home with the
winning tally, making the final score to
5 in favor Of Belding.
