HORSE HEAVEN BEATS KI0HA

The Horse Heaven huskies took
the kiona boys into camp last Sun
day by score of 10 to 8 in a ball
game on the Kiona grounds. The
wheat raisers played errorless ball
and "Southpsw' Edwards was very
effective in the box only one score
being made in the seven innings he
was in the points, The winning
team were all the more elated over
their victory because some of the
not-native-sons in the Kiona team
were very mouthy in telling before
the game what they were going to
do to the heavenly whoppers and
how they would teach them the
game, but there were enough Mis-
sourians among them that they just
had to be showed and the result
was contrarywise to what had been
expected by the railroad and sur
veyor part Of the k;ona crowd. The
Horse Heaven team plays with
west Horse at Dennis school house
next Sunday and picnic will be put
on for their entertainment.
