Nelson Groves beautiful grove near
Manchester on Saturday last. A game
of baseball was played by two chiefs
and their braves, resulting in score
of IA to 7. Plenty of natural water
on the grounds. No policeman was
present to keep order. Three camp
fires were burning. The squaws pre-
pared such appetising meals that the
braves ate so much they were hardly
able to get up after each meal. Alto
gether an enjoyable day was spent by
the $50 or more warriors, squaws,
papooses and visitors present.
Mrs. Jacob Berwager, who is noted
for having a fine yard OF asters every

taught Bandanna school two years
ago, will again teach in York county

CLAYTON Sauble were driving to church
their horse became frightened by an
automobile. Mrs. Sauble twice gave
warning notice for the automobilist
to stop, but of no avail. In trying to
hold the horse by the briddle, the

as to break his left arm at the wrist.
DR.. J. S. Ziegler reduced the fracture.

the squirrel came down, and chick
