Linton Defeats Eureka.

The Linton Reds went TO Eureka
Saturday morning ON the freight to
play a game OF ball with the team of
that town. 1T was understood that
the game was TO he pulled OIL Satur-
day afternoon: but, upon the arrssal
of the Reds, it was ascertained that
Eureka would not play until the fol-
lowing day. Although this was not
entirely satisfactory to the Linton
ties, 1t could not he helped. So the
game was not called until Sunday aft
ernOOn. The Eureka team had not
lost a contest this year, and were con-
tident Of winning, the Eureka people
wagering considering money that they
would defeat the North Dakota boys.
The game was extremely interesting
for about six innings, but in the sew
enth the merry go round commenced.
In the first inning Linton made one
score, losing another 10y the failure OF
the squeeze play" This wasthc only
score until the fifth. when the South
DakOtanS scored twice on an error
each by Rhodes and Streetcr In the
next inning Koll came TO bat and
laced the ball for home run, making
the score u tie. This was followed by
other hits until Linton had four runs.
In the seventh the Reds batted clear
around, making tive scores ON four
hits. a base ON balls, q sacrifice, and an
error. In the ninth they made one
and SO did Eureka. Thus Eureka s
hitherto unconquered team were com
PEELED to bow their heads to a bad de-
feat. Flanagan struck out nineteen
men; while Odle, who struck out
twcnty-one Ashlcyitcs in the Eureka
Ashley game on the Fourth, struck
out but seven Reds. Many long hits
were made, Of which Linton drew
quite a number. Two two-base hits
we're the total of the hits to the credit
of the boys across the line.
The Linton folks who made the trip
are loud in their praises OF the treat
ment received at the hands of The
Eureka people generally.

a Canine sh;rker.

Rex, a thoroughbred Spitz, must per-
form the painful duty OF escorting a
certain neighbor home when she has
been calling at our house. However,
1t Is not without a show of reluctance
that he does 1t. Recently our friend
missed her escort, and no amount OF
whstling proved equal to recalling
him This occurred several times and
1t was always in about the same place
that Rex disappeared. One night our
friend determined to discover Rex's
little game After whistling and call
ing she made II prctcnse of going on.
She stopped in Il deep shadow.
Around the corner nf the nearest house
appeared n Sinking figure. Stealthily
quitting the shadows Rex crcpt out
and peerc.l long and anxionsly up the
street. WHITTIER, as he well knew, he
should have continued To conduct the
lady. After this lie turned slilmelessly
around and lit out for home. ChicagO

wheat crop, the prospects are that
good prices caused by such reduction
will bring in about as much money as
would have been received from a big
yield.
People who haven't visited Eureka
for q few years would, If they should
go there now, hardly recognize the
town. When the railroad was extend
ed from that place the town had for a
time a very dilapidated appearance,
owing to the fact that many business
and residence houses were vacated.
But it's different now. The residences
are in good shape and several tine
brick and cement-block buildings are
being erected. The Bazaar department
store, in q brick building, is as fine a
store as We have seen in any city in
either OF the twin states. Being an old
town, Eureka has many big trees, and
these are not only great addition to
the looks OF the principal street, but
furnish desirable shade to buildings
and the sidewalks. The people OF Eu-
reka are very hospitable, and visitors
there are always cordially received.

A short time ago two young sons of
John Postlc, an old settler in the Wi
mona neighborhood, accomplished a
feat that will be well worth telling
about to their children and grand
children. They were out In coulee
near their fathers ranch. the coulee
containing some shrubbery and small
timber. They were on horseback and
had dogs with them. First thing they
knew the dogs engaged in fierce COM
bat with an animal different from
anything the boys had ever seen. The
''animile" and the dogs fought for
more than an hour, the boys trying to
help the dogs. Sometimes the three
four-legged cOmbatants were in a
water hole near by, and sometimes On

beast would turn toward the boys, but
the dogs would then both pile ON him
and he would sforget" the boys. Final
ly the Oldest boy, who had a lariat with
him, threw the rope and caught the
varmint by the neck. Then the boy
started on a gallop, dragging the ami
NAL, the dogs keeping him busy as he
was dragged. Between the dogs and
the dragging, the animal was killed.
1t was as big as a coyote. A compari-
son of the appearance OF the animal
with an identical picture in Webster's
dictionary shows that the two boys
and their dogs had fight with a lynx,
and not with an ordinary ..bobcat, :"
as was at first thought. The animal
would undoubtedly have made short
work OF the boys had 1t not been for
the fact that he was kept busy with
their two faithful dogs. The boys are

StOckmen Get Laws.

The sixteenth general assembly which
recently closed It's labors got four bills
passel that will be of interest to the
stockmen of the state Each bill they
advocated became law, with the ex-
ceptlon Of that which provided for the
bringing into the state of horses with
docked tails. The measures that have
already been approved by the governor
are:
Amendment of the inspection act so
as to permit the stock inspection board
to inspect live stock at state line and
to compel cattlemen to keep mango out
of their herds.
Amending the impounding law so as
to compel cities and towns to give prop
er notice before selling impounded ami
mals
To amend the humane law so that
humane agents cannot legally take up
range stock not suffering for lack of
feed or water. under the plea that they
are Abandoned and neglected. Also
provides for proper notice before sell
ing same.
Inspection of slaughter plants and
meats and prohibiting for slaughter of
diseased animals for food.

Lee Horning met with severe loss
last Sunday afternoon. He had driven
to church and had the horse tied in the
yard in front Of Mrs. Groves house. 1t
was picketed by the foot. Suddenly it
became frightened and jumped into the
air, was tripped and when 1t fell it
broke its neck. The animal was a fine
one.
At last the County Commissioners
are taking the proper course to perma-
nently fix the river ut the bridge. Poles
are being hauled and as soon rs the
water goes down they will be driven in
and permanent bank fixed. This is
work that should have been done long
ago but somehow the former commits
sioners have felt that it was better to
spend large amount Of money when
The Delta independent., 1907-04-26

the river was high than to spend little
money when the river was low. There
has been altogether too much tempor-
ary work done at this point already and
the present board is to be congratu-
lated on the fact that it has finally
dawned on them that permanent work
is cheapest.
c. J. Closson has secured a lease on

years since roller skating has been in
favor with the people but now with the
improved skates fad is sweeping over
the country from one side to the other.
On account of the lack of places of
