side for several weeks. For about
three years after their marriage,
they lived on farm north of
Audubon.
Thirteen years ago last spring she
became associated with her sister,
Capitola Dodge being the Junior
member of the firm Of Dodge and
Davis. Up to within year past
she has been blessed with almost
perfect health but in February she
was compelled to visit the hospital
in Rochester, Minnesota, since
which time she has rapidly de-
clined, being confined to her bed
for the last few weeks.
Mrs. Davis was woman of q
sympathetic nature, lovable and
much beloved by all who knew her.
She had very large circle of
friends, both among her list of
causual acquaintance and among
her business associates of whom
she had very many. Being a
woman of rare business ability,
her mingling with mankind did
not destroy her finer sensibilities.
Her strong Christian character
shone out like the gleam OF the
setting sun, entwining about all
who came in contact with her, the
knowledge of the world to come.
The funeral was very largely
attended by neighbors and friends
who knew her best. The remains
were inferred at Extra cemetery,
Rev. +. H. Richardson of the
Congregational church performing
the last sad rites.

MORE BASEBALL
The Lewis Game as Reported by the
Sporting Editor Of the Lewis paper

Once more we had the very rot.
tenest kind of luck Sunday. With
the score tour to three in favor of
Lewis in the ninth inning, two
men out and two strikes on the last
man, McMenemin dropped an easy
one from Brown and the fireworks
began. Phiiips4hit the next man
up and with two hits Extra scored
four runs. Comments.
Hickey, the umpire, wanted to
be SO darned fair he gave us just
shade the worst OF it. But tina.
wasn't what beat us. Extra got
eleven hits off Philips but they
were we'll scattered except in the
fifth when they got three in a row,
netting two runs. This demon
strates that Freddie is rapidly de-
veloping into one of the fastest
little pitchers outside of league
in the state, all Of which Manager
Coe- -Et-Al have maintained all the
time.
What's the matter with Dalberp?
He caught beautiful game and
no man even attempted to steal on
him after the first attempt. In the
sixth, Woodward led off with two
sacker, Livingston followed with
triple, Phillips with single, and
Dalberg with single; these hits
were all Obtained in a row off of
the Mighty Monk"
The Extra Band furnished some
splendid music in the Park before
they went to the lake. Our old
friend, Brinkerhoff, the best all
round country printer in the state,
toots the baritone. He reads mu-
sic just like he prints.
If we could go into a game and
have come luck we might win.
