dow and was struck by mail post.

He is working for the Minnesota

the "Southside Sluggers" pulled off
a double header. The "All Stars"
captured both games.
The features of the games we're
the pitching of Ed Lindquist, who
famed twelve men in the ten
innings he pitched, and a running
one hand catch by W. Farmer which
ended the second game.
Both Cooper and Sheeler pitched
winning ball for the South Side but
the support they received was very
ragged. Had they received any
support at all the score might have
been different. These two games
makes three that the All Stars have
taken, they having broken even in

however that the newspaper which

For third time they charged
with the same result. The farmers
were offering two to one on the bull,
and Mr.. Way at no time was too
busy to accept the wagers.
The fourth time Mr.. Way was
determined to end the struggle.
The lamps were torn from their
sockets, the bonnet was bent and
broken, ard still the bull held the
pass, The big red auto backed
fifty yards up the hill, the ball
standing still
Then down the hill like shot
came the car, The bull beloved
with rage and rushed forward. His
head was too high, it struck the
bonnet of the auto near the top, the
auto instead of rearing, rushed on,
caught the bull on the front legs
and breast, lifted it, and hurled it
with one mighty effort down ten
foot embankment.
Red" Drake was shaken from the
wheel and Mr.. Way from his seat,
the auto with a wild chug- chug of
victory leaped over the bank, exult-
antly fell upon the PROSTATE foe, and
crushed the life out Of it. Then
with wheels in air, the auto sang a
song of victory-while Mr.. Way
hunted up his check book to settle
with the farmers.
The victorious auto later was res
cued, and little disfgured, but
still in the ring. started for Chelsea.

Battle ROYAL.

Mounted on a frey and untamed
automobile, Thomas A. Way, presi-
dent of Dakota Town Lot company.
fought the greatest and must excit-
ing bull fight of history at a point
near Frank and Ralph Stiles farm,
midway between Chelsea and Ores
bard.
Never in the annals of the bull
rings of Spain or Mexico has such a
battle been fought. For nearly half
an hour the bull and the auto strug-
gled for mastery, and finally Mata-
dor Way conquered and bull and
auto fell together, the bull dead and
the auto still chug-chugging its
paeon of victory as it rested on top
of the body of the vanquished bull.
The battle between Mr.. Way and
the bull took place ia a narrow,
picturesque coulee, in an aplphlthea-
tire of hills that dot that region.
Mr.. Way, with a party OF town
lot and farm seekers, started from
Bresbard to visit the new towns OF
Chelsea, Brentford and Crandall
travelling in one of Mr.. Ways huge
touring fears. The great trouble
with the car was not discovered until
the party swung into the coule'
near the Stiles farm house. The
clutch worked we'll, the tires didn'
explode, the ignition points spanked
perfectly, and the gasoline feed was
regular and beyond reproach
Motorists would think that ca
going that way was all right, but i
wasn't. The trouble was that TIT
car was painted bright red. Fo'
some unaccountable reason bulls dC
not like red. Psychologists have
sindiad the subject and failed to dis
cover any satisfactory reason why {
bull should get angry just because
anything happens to be red Suf
fice to say, then. that they do hate
red worse than the German govern
ment official does.
And Mr.. Ways car was red. And
the hair and face of the chauffeur
Grant Drake, was red. Red is nc
name for them. They pale fire
cracker and make the big grain ele-
vators look like pink. Nevertheless
Mr.. Way was enjoying his trip and
Dragging about his car when it
snorted its way through the beauti
ful fields of grain and grazing. The
party was laughing and chatting
away, innocent of the danger they
were approaching. On the opposite
hillside, defending toward the level.
was bunch of cattle, propelled by
two farmers. Mr.. Way had observed
the landscape with cattle. He had
seen things like that in art galleries

 The committee of the citizens meet ing held last Friday night reported that 1t was the will of the business people that another Fair be held and upon this report the Fair Association decided to hold one and work will begin at once.
 The yearly report of Secretary Man gum showed the Association to be in splendid condition. A committee con sisting of Col. W. R. Nelson, Col F. M Abbott and Major V. B. Atkins was then appointed to nominate a new Board of Directors of the Association. and reported as follows: H. M. Smith. W. C. Ward .Jr.. B J. Schuster. J. B. Ellis. I. Schwarz. B. c. Melvin. c. Kirkpatrick W. R. Peacock and J. L. Clay. They were unanimously elected
 The meeting then adjourned and those present of the newly elected Board held a session. During this ses-. sion they elected the officers of the As Eociatfon as follows: W. c. Agee, Pres ident. I Schwartz, Vice president, and E. c. Melvin, Treasurer. The Sec- rAtary of the Association will be named later.
