HOW BRAVE WE AREl
We, the Leans of sporting blood, do
hereby swell up like skeeters, with
much noise (that is worse than our
bite), and challenge the Portly Gentle
men for game of Bawl.
With our first blat,
Wen scare them so they cannot bat.
Slim Wetzel's curves,
His drops, his swiftest shoots,
Will win the game, and tame to boot.
Wise owls, Hoot! Hoot!
IF the brave Lean Gentlemen will
consider their proposition, and instead
of offering Earl Wetzel as their slab
artist, they will select true profes.
sional, Gerald Massy suggested, and in
this way be assured that they will
have an equal chance against the slab
artists for the Portly Gentlemen, their
challenge might be considered.
After having consulted with several
OF the Portly Gentlemen, we are
satisfied that they would not care to
accept the challenge issued, with the
Leans SO handicapped as their line
up indicates. Awaiting for further
puffs of confidence, we will again
recline, and increase our strength.

LITTLE FALLS VS.. RANDALL

Manager Fraser has made arrange:
ments with the Randall baseball team
for a game on the local diamond, and
the game will be played next Sunday
at the usual time. Although small
place, Randall has fine little team.
With Lattimer at the slab, the young
southpaw who has been making quite
a reputation as twirler, the Ran
dallltes expect to make very good
showing against the Little Falls team.
So far they have defeated all teams
they have played with, which includes
two games with the Record Breakers
and game with the Royalton base
ball team. In the game with the
latter team Lattimer struck out
twenty players, and allowed but three
scattered hits.
Newman probably will do the
twirling for the local team, and the
rest Of the lineup will be much the
same as usual. A good game is
expected

BURGLARS DYNAMlTED SAFE OF
WOODWORTH & DAVIS STORE
AT PEOJ1OT.

The general store which is con-
Quoted by Woodwork & Davis at
Pequot was entered by burglars and
the safe dynamited on Monday night.
Thanks to the tremendous noise of
the explosion, the contents Of the safe,
amounting to about 5000, was left in
tact, as the burglars lost their nerve
and made a hurried getaway, taking
with them but &c. which they found in
the till.
AS there was number of tramps
about the town, 1t is probable that
this is some OF their work.

Fuller called Buckman everything
that was bad, then slobbered over him
because he had the postof6ce within
his gift. He published things about
G. A. Lindbergh which, if true,
would forever condemn the congress
man. But Lindbergh had something
to say about postomces. Immediately
the fawning and soldering COM
menced. Fuller swallowed his vomlt.
He retracted and disgusted everybody.
The people of Morrison county will
not accept such an individual as leader
on any prop osition. Fhey spewed

'GREEN PRAIRIE ASSESSOR S
T. r., CASE. -rz>

The case of L. F. Pray VS.. Town of
Green Prairie, in which NJ. Pray
sued the town for the sum Of $46
claimed to be due him as salary for
his work as assessor, came up for trial
before Justice Gerritz Wednesday
afternoon. Pray claimed he put in %
days in this work for the town,
which, at salary of So per day, made
the total due him $46. When he put
in bill for his work, the town board
allowed the bill in the sum of $37.
This amount Pray refused, and
brought suit against the town for
the full amount Of his bill. He was
then offered judgement for $25, which
he likewise refused. The contention
of the defense was that the COM
plainant, as assessor, put in more days
than was necessary. The court gave
complainant judgement for $34 for II
days work, and the costs of the case,
amounting in all to $38. 60.

There is war, thinly disguised,
among the republicans Of this county
It reaches into high places and among
the elements are thwarted ambitions,
false friends, postoffces, tools of U. S.
senators, freaks, cheap intriguers, an
oily magnate who is in his way as
big faker as ever ]ived-a sort of
Pecksnif and Chadband combined-a
newspaper man who hates from his
soul the hand he kisses, and well
meaning man, slow to believe in the
treachery Of alleged friends, but who
lis biding his time to kick the whole
rotten outfit into oblivion. It's good
STORY, and will be interesting reading
to the people Of this county.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

CHALLENTE ACCEP LED.
| Replying to the So called 'Challenge'
signed by bunch of lean boys, will
say:
We were greatly surprised, after q
lapse of three years of silence to know
that the aforesaid bunch had come
to life. Our first impulse was to ask
them to go get a reputation, but the
fact that they are willing to give the
proceeds to so worthy an institution
as the Orphanage, we are willing to
once more put them to sleep. We are
also glad to note they have secured a
battery from the regular city team,
who are playing every day and have
some standing in baseball circles,
thus making it possible to cut down
our score; will say three per cent OF
what it would be, without this aid.
We except the aforesaid challenge
time and place to be agreed upon later
under the following conditions:
First-The fats will not be held
responsible for any ball they bat out
OF the city limits.
Second-All lean rooters to wear
muzzles
Third-That after the defeat of the
leans, they will not challange the fats
again, until they have gained a re.
putation. $50.
Fourth-The rules of 1876 to revail,
in order that the leans will know the
rules well enough to make the game
interesting
