there was something doing all along
the line all the while.
1t was anybody's game UP until the
last timers whistle sounded the finish.
The Indians retrieved their lost lau.

cowboys off their feet. But II was no
child's play. Several Of the polo clubs
were broken during the fray. Ponies
came out of scrimmage pretty well
covered with blood from the needle.
like steel, and undoubtedly "all in"
from the sudden jerks, the quick turns
and the rough and tumble dashes.
There was a vim and vigor about the
whole play which put the game on n
high plane as compared with some Of
the best polo that this country has
ever seen.
With Norfolk people the game of
polo has at once become "A prime ia.
vorite and it is safe to say that enthu-

YOUNG WOMAN is DROWNED
Buggy is Backed OFF Bridge, Dropping
Fourteen Feet Into River

Oakdale, Neb., July 29.-The Elk
horn river has added another to its al
ready large number Of victims this
Theissen, daughter of Harry Theissen,
a farmer living five miles north of
Oakdale. Anna Theissen aged nine
teen, sister aged eighteen and Rud-
dy RitZhoff, a young man employed on
the fathers farm, were returning home
in a single buggy after an afternoon
spent in seeing the sights at the car
nival in Oakdale. In crossing the
river bridge one mile north of town
the horse became frightened at some
object at the end of the bridge, be-
came unmanagGable and backed the
buggy against the weak railing with
such force that it gave way and the
carriage and occupants with the horse
were precipitated into the current of
the river fourteen feet below.
BY heroic efforts the young man sue
ceeded in bringing the younger of the
sisters to land, but the older one was
not to be found when he returned for
her. A searching party was soon or
ganized, but though they have worked
diligently no trace of the missing body
can be found. The horse was drowned.

STORM AT BATTLE CREEK.
What the Wind and Hail Did South of
That Town.

Battle Creek Enterprise: Though
by no means entirely devastated, crops
southwest of Battle Creek were great
ly damaged by a terrific wind and hail
storm which swept over an area of
several miles Tuesday evening be-
tween and Z o'clock.
Residents of the section say pc
culiar feature of the storm was that
hail fell at three different times and
each time it was carried by wind from
different direction. Windmills in
the path of the storm were laid low
and outbuildings not securely anchored
were moved and in some instances torn
to pieces. An unoccupied dwelling on
the farm vacated some time ago by
Frank Sobotak was torn from it's foun-
dation and moved about one hundred
feet down the side hill. Reuben Ad-
have occupied it in a few days.
At this time the damage to crops is
hard to estimate. Ripe oats in some
places were threshed as if by a fail
and are a total loss, as was the case
on the farm of Fred Tegler In other
places grain was so badly beaten down
that much will be lost in harvesting
Corn was badly cut but under favor
able conditions it may mature without
showing to any great extent the effects
of the beating. Some fields of early
corn which had just begun to tassel
were badly damaged.
1t is reported that the ST. Clair val
ley, south of Tilden, was completely
devastated. However, this report is
denied by some. 1t will be remember
ed that all vegetation in this section
was destroyed by hail last year.

A WHIRLWIND POLO GAME
Second Battle over Little White
Sphere is Most Exciting One.
[From FridaY's DailY.l


Last nights polo game, the second
that has ever been pulled off in Nor
folk, was a much more thrilling exhi-
bition than that of the afternoon be-
fore, owing to the improved condition
of the field. The Indians took heap
big brace in last evenings play and
ran their spurs into the cowpunchers
for score of eight 10 five.
It was not as large a gallery as
there should have been to watch the
teams of red men and plainsmen dash
down the field, into one another and
back again for a crack at the little
white sphere which chased across the
sod, back and forth between the two
rival goals. But the crowd that did
turn it's eyes upon the reckless con-
test got its moneys worth.
The field presented in Norfolk for
the polo game was not by any means
ideal. Dotted with chuck holes here
and there and everywhere, 1t Afforded
too many successful hiding places for
