SUDDEN DEATH
Came to Audubon County in Eighteen
Hundred and Eighty Seven. Died
Saturday, May Is, 1907.

Mr.. Christian w. Bauer of Audu.
bon township, was born in Lieben-
stadt, Germany, on the tenth day
of April 1889 and was married on
the nineteenth day of March 1865
to Mise Susan Frankenberger of
that city. There was born to this
Union, four sons and two daugh-
ters, one son died in infancy. In
July 1878, his beloved wife departed
this life leaving Mr.. Bauer with
this young family to care for.
After many months or during the
latter part of the year 1878 he met
Miss Susana G. Vogt and after
some acquaintance they were mar
ried. To this union six children
were born four of whom preceded
this kind father to the spirit land.
In the spring of 1884 Mr.. and Mrs.
Bauer, with this young family,
came to America to seek their for
tune. They first settled in Wiscon-
sin where they lived for three
years but learning of the beautiful
prairies of Iowa, they gathered
their belongings together and
came to Audubon county in the
spring of 1887 where they bought a
fine tract of land in Greeley town
chip and here they have lived in
the full enjoyment of the blessings
of him who doeth all things we'll.
Here this fine family was raised
to respectable manhood and
womanhood and it must have been
pleasure to this good father to
see them all honest, honorable men
and women and all doing we'll
financially.
Mr.. Bauer, himself, was a model
man, a kind father, loving hus-
band, respectable citizen and an
honest man. His sudden death is
deplored by all who knew him.

We Won One

The Pikers, of Des Moines, arrived
Saturday morning and as adver
tised played ball Saturday and
Sunday and also arranged a game
for Monday.
The Saturday game was attended
by large crowd who witnessed an
interesting although loosely
played game, From the start the
Pikers hit the ball but Extra used
three pitchers in vain attempt to
scatter their hits. The game ended
by the score of IL to in favor of
the visitors.
The Sunday game lasted but six
innings with McCarl on the slab
for Extra. He demonstrated that
he could pitch as we'll as play
short and the Pikers found in him
clever thrower. The score result
ed in 2 to for the Dee Moines team.
But the game of all games was
played Monday afternoon before
an enthusiastic audience. The
mighty Reese wore the toe plate
and was backed by invincible
support. His motto seemed to be
speed, speed, speed. The Pikers
were moved down like so many
ten-pins. Even Wilkins and Fahey
of Hopkins Bros. fame, two of the
fastest amateur ball players in the
state, spent their energy at bat
without result. Reese used the
spit bail frequently througout the
game which may account for thir.
teen strike outs to his credit. But
this is not all. Extra went in for
the biggest batting rally ever seen
in these parts. Three varieties of
Pikers faced our fellows but every
ball that went over the plate also
went over the fielders. The name
Monk" was used familiarly by the
Pikers showing an acquaintance
ship between our twirler and his
victims, and when in the fifth inn
ing "Monk" lifted clean three
bagger the crowd fairly roared
and had a slower man fielded the
ball, home run would have
resulted. Admiration was ex.
pressed everywhere for the man
who so accurately and swiftly
handled this long drive. Extra
won the we'll deserved game by the
score of to 2.
