THE howl of the poor man S
COW" has again been raised since
the ordinance relating to the run
ming at large of cows has been en-
forced this week. The poor man S
COW is being benefited just as much
as other integral parts of the town S
makeup by being closed in nights
as a great many lawn owners and
owners of gardens have solernnly
declared that should the cows not
be kept locked up nights, they
would simply shoot them. Besides,
there is nothing to feed on nights
but your neighbours garden or
lawn. Some people think more of
their COWS and the s cents per
quart received for its milk than
they do of their children. The
average poor man is too dinged
poor to keep COW and the most of
the COW owners are a whole lot
better off financially than those
whose lawns, gardens and shrub
berry is destroyed by the meander-
ing bovine. Let the good work go
on. There is no town in the U. S.
the size of Ely where your front
yard and garden is considered the
legitimate feeding ground of your
neighbours COW. We make and en-
force ordinances to keep every
body's children off the streets after
certain hours and it is not to be
presumed that this is done to give
the poor mans COW" a chance
although it may appear so.

The Gilbert Booster in giving all
account of games said:
Gilbert took trip to Ely and ac-
cording to reports from Ely and
opinion of Ely fans the boys treated
them to the fastest and cleanest ex-
hibition of base ball seen in Ely
park this season.
The first game was great ex-
hibition of the national sport and
ended in well deserved shut out
for Gilbert.
The game started off with a rush
and abounded in spectacular play
ing by both teams. Masterson
electrified the crowd by turning a
seemingly sure hit into a put-out
by wonderful throw to first.
Gilbert got two men on bases in
the third but was robbed of two
scores by circus catch of Roberts.
In the fifth the fireworks COM
menced. Masterson was given a
free pass to first and reached third
on Boyle's sacrifice and Hoskings
ielders choice. Koch then laced
out slashing single and Masterson
scored the first run of the game.
Ely got two men on bases in
their half of the fifth with two out.
Cox came to bat and landed on
the first ball pitched for a long
drive to the left field fence. Die
chen came over from center and
made great catch off of the fence
after hard run.
In the second Masterson got an
other pass, reached second on
Boyles sacrifice and Hoskings short
hit landed him on third. Hoskings
stole second and with two men on
baseses and two out Koch came to
bat and after striking at two of
Seraphines benders and getting
three balls he found one to his Xix
ing and drove out corking two
Dagger and knocked in two runs.
This ended the scoring for Gil
bert but in the ninth Ely filled the
bags with two men out. Martin
stepped up to the plate and found
one to his liking and momentary
cyclone struck the crowd but Koch
was off with the swing of the bat
and made spectacular flying catch
and throw to first.
The Ely fans and business men,
some of whom could not get out to
the afternoon game and others
wishing to see the two teams in
action again with the hope of see
ing the home team win asked to
have another game in the evening
The line up of the Gilbert bows
remained the same as in the after
noon game, while Ely switched
their men about putting a new
HEAVIER in the box. Although a
good pitcher he was given even
more severe treatment than his
brother twirler of the afternoon

back with four runs and nearly
evened matters up. The rest oil
the game was close and exciting
although Gilberts lead was never ir
danger.

But it is too much trouble for the every
