Lincoln News: Secretary Gum
thrope, by the way, relates that Zal-
usky will have a merry time getting
back into organized ball. The Dem
yer owners feel that the big backstop
did not treat them fairly in jumping
to the Fort Collins indepen-
dent team. Mr.. Gunthrope says
Manager Jones made frequent efforts
to induce -ZaIusl1y to get back into
the game, when it was apparent to
the physicians examining his injured
knee that he was in condition for
service. The Denver secretary in
sists that Jack hasn't as much as an
outside chance to win the civil suit
he has filed to collect salary during
the period he was under Suspension.
The case comes up for trial in Den
yer next Monday. The incident that
puzzles the Lincoln management is
that Zaluslky should refuse to take
advantage of a trade that would
have brought him to the Greenback-
ers. Zalusky has said for two or
three seasons that he wanted to get
away from Denver. as he was hoo
dooed by frequent injuries and a
change of employment might bring
him better luck.

Pueblo Star-Journal: Kaufman, of
Topeka, said to be the best all-round
twirler of the league by many in a
position to be competent judges, is
by that virtue one of the hardest men
to beat in the league. A visiting
team has beaten him, naturally, but
they realize that it means the pitting
OF their best pitcher against him, and
some classy work to overcome his
great throwing.

Andrew Hammer has sold all of
his stock and will soon leave for
Tennessee where he will make his
future home with his daughter.
John Stakston has returned from
Tioga to break out the remainder of
his 200 acre farm. John said that
he was somewhat worsted from his
trip, but was still in the field for
matrimony.
Spring is here, the gophers are out
and the snow is mostly gone. Feed
ing is about over, the stock having
| fed out for sometime.
The farmers will soon be working
in their fields. There is going to be
a large acreage seeded this year in
the vicinity of Grand Valley.
Mr.. Nybakken held sale on the
first day of April, which was sue
cess. A fine dinner was served for
the crowd. The cattle sold high.
Mr.. Nybakken and wife will soon
leave for their old home in Norway
where they will spend the rest OF
their days They have worked hard
in America, have been frugal and in
dustrious, and now go back to the
old home to enjoy themselves with
old time friends amid familiar sur
roundings. While we hate to see
such good people leave this vicinity
yet we feel glad that the old couple
are in such a good condition to en-
10y life, and wish them peace and
happiness in their new-old home.
Willie Giles, who has been under
the weather for several weeks, was
brot into Minot Saturday to see a
doctor. Willie has a. fever and is
generally run down but says he's
worth a dozen dead men yet and we
guess that he's about right.
Robert Evans and son Jesse went
to Minot Saturday and remained over
Sunday with relatives.
Grand Valley farmers will do we'll
to invest in some good strychnine
and kill off the gophers before they
have an opportunity to propagate
the gopher race. 1t is declared that
couple of gophers may be respon-
sible for scores of others during the
season, counting the children. the
grand children and the great grand
children. At any rate this is the
time to 60 after the little "divils."
They have ferocious appetites and
will readily eat grain soaked IN
strychnine.
