The verdict of "a bowling success"

a day full of pleasure and entertain
ment as the guests of the Crown Point
Foresters. From o'clock in the

tended the glad hand" to the visitors
and made all of them feel at home and
happy in their little city of pretty
lawns and spacious homes. And again
this year every one who helped TO
swell the record breaking attendance
felt that they had been we'll repaid

were taken TO the police station where
they told a story to the effect that they
were abused BY their uncle and
determined to kid him a little. In re-
gard to the shooting the youngest
nephew. oliver said he pulled out the
weapon and shot towards the ground
intending TO scare his uncle instead
OF hitting him. AS the uncle John
Jarchow has not appeared before the
police TO prosecute the young men they
were released The police say they
know the arrest can be made whenever
the young men should be wanted.
The affair is about the only subject
that is being talked about on the north

just a little different story to tell about
it.

planned to meet his wife in the after

his way without her. While driving up
the bridge approach at Ninety second
street the driver was blinded by the
lights of an automobile coming toward
them and for this reason they missed
seeing the danger lights on the bridge,
which showed that it was open. Lentz
and Menges sat in the front of the car
and Lentz was the first to notice the
danger and, warning the occupants, all
three prepared to jump as the machine
was only a few feet away from the
opening. Lentz and Menges landed in

ages when he left for the city Satur

intended TO visit for a day before re-

Thereafter from l o'clock until 5, all

horse races which was advertised, was
pulled of, but that was expected as
the people had had experience in these
matters in years gone by.

zle, but this was also to be expected.
but even those disappointments did
not materially mar the pleasure de-
rived in the numerous foot-races and
athletic contests of the men down to
the pie eating contest of the small boy.
The two horse races which were pull
ed off, however, were good and the
people smacked for more. The race
