Tuesday evening, We reached a small
dry lake. where Scotty told me he had
cached supplies and water three years
ago. and wanted 10 see if it was stin
there. We found the provisions all
right, and just as We did we heard two
shots up in the canyon, Pretty soon, We
saw Mexican go galloping past on a
mule.
That means were in for it. Pearl
said Scotty- We waited until Warren
and the others. who were in the pro-
vision wagon should come up. Then
we held a council.

that had given me trouble ever since 1
left Barstow. but that ornery mule

payment. Not only have church MEM
bers given to the debt raising fund,
but friends of the church, not mem
bers, and some not even regular at
tendants, lent generous aid.
Brief History Of the Church.
The First Methodist church Of Mar
shalltown, which is the finest church
building in the city, was built during
the summer and fall of 1894 and win
ter of 1895, during the pastorate of
Rev. j. A. Ward. 1t cost, including
the ground $4,000. 1t was dedicated
on Sunday, Feb. 10, 1895.
AS a mission organization the Mar
shalltown church had it's inception in
| 1852. 1t was made station in 1859,
with 112 members. Worship, prior to
that time had been in school houses
| and the old court house, and In that
year a church building was erected at
the corner Of First avenue and Church
street. This was enlarged and inn
| proved in 1875 at a cost Of $500, and
did service until the new church was
built
The dedication of the new church
was supposed to have taken place free
from Indebtedness, custom universal
~ followed by the Methodists. There
was a great deal of shrinkage, however.
in making collections on subscriptions.
Money was hard to get and at high
rate of interest. One cause and an
other created an indebtedness of So
900, and this ran along until the pas
torate of Rev. j. G.. Van Ness, 1893
1900, when $4,000 was raised to apply
on the indebtedness. This left $4,000,
which has been against the property
during successive pastorates. Rev.
Smith took it upon his shoulders to
wipe out the debt, and with the help
OF members of the board and others
the work was begun three weeks ago.
Church Has Healthy Growth.
The church has had a remarkable
growth during the past eight months,
or during the pastorate of Rev. Smith.
The membership has increased 40,
making a total of nearly 900 members,
The Sunday school, of which ]. A. Cat
tell is superintendent, has also shown
an immense growth, and has more than
doubled in size within that period. An
average attendance at the Sunday
school of 500 is recorded and there
are enrolled between 700 and 500 MEM
bers. On Easter Sunday there were in.
attendance 759 members.
New Organ Desired.
One of the next Improvements con-
templated for the church is new or
gan The organ in service now has
been in the church for many years,
and has about outlived its usefulness.
A new organ, and of sufficient size to
meet the demands of the large build
ing, is the hope of the members, and
will probably be realized before anoth-
er year.

Mr.. Dick, recently acquired from Clin-

score, excepting in the sixth, when

was due chiefly to Williams low

ball, gave Richards the chance to score

Attic beaten, Dick pitched good
altho even with the handicap he was
more effective than kilian, the visit

errors and fielding mistakes opened the
way for the three scores the Brownies
made in the third. After that, except-

over the left field fence. they were un-
able to count again, altho opportunt-
ties to do 50 were open in both the sew
