GAINESVILLE


John Martin and Walter Rowald OF
Footville were buncoed out of $3.50 by
three Chicago sharks on the old pool
ball game. The men were induced to
obtain the money to bet on the game

money while Martin and Rowald were
playing.
During the heavy fog Friday morning
a Northwestern train, south bound, ran
into a wagon and cut the horses com
pletely loose and threw the driver on

morning a brakeman named Mills was
knocked from train that was being
switched here by large baggage truck
and was severely injured.
Sugar in million pound lots is being
turned out these days at the local sugar
factory. In one single day the total run
was 10000 pounds and so far this sea-
son the total will figure close to 4, SOC, 900
pounds. For SO early in the season this
is considered heavy run and it is due
to the good grade of beets as well as the
large force employed at the factory both
day and night. The factory opened on
October 10th and every department. is
being worked to the full capacity.
Mr. and Mrs Jules Ramme and two
children, who have been in this vicinity
the past summer working in the beet
sugar fields, left GAINESVILLE for their
home in far away Belgium. During the
summer this little family made several
contracts with the farmers to care for
their beets at the rate of S13 per acre
When not working they resided in sort
of hut near the sugar beet factory and
their actual expenses we're light. When
they departed from here for Quebec to
sail home they had in their possession
close to $500 10 good American gold
And the same little family will be back
in the spring ready for business.

famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

which, IL true. Is ample evidence or
the .ngratitude OF the federal gov
eminent; ingratitude which has been
created by just laws and right en-
forcement. nevertheless.
IL seems that. in spite OF the fact
that he twice enlisted in the army OF
his country during the wa.. and once
received an honorable discharge, tho
records OF the war department show
Hall TO have been a deserter. This
fact was discovered through the hon.
est effort OF a friend TO learn the rea-
son for Halls failure TO receive
pension. Every honorably discharg-
ed veteran now receives pension,
regardless OF age or disability. and
this friend, learning that Hall was re-
ceiving none, wrote to the war depart
ment asking the reason.
The answer came back that the
records showed Hall to have desert

forbids the supporting of desertev
In any national institution. Hall was
discharged from the home as soon as
the knowledge reached Commandant
Turner.
Penniless. Hall sought aid OF the
poor department. saying that a mis-
take had been made and toat he had
not deserted the army, but had been
captured by the confederates and
kept a prisoner until he was releas-
ed on parole. As he was weak and
feeble. he said. he had not imme'
diately rejoined the army, the result
being that he WAS put down as de-.
serter. His mistake was In never
taking the trouble to make his record
clear.
Although the poor department Is
prohibited by law from taking in an

Hall asked TO be taken. Supt. Provin
was impressed with the veterans
story. and provided him with meals.

might seek them out.
