the firemen's fund by the gentlemen
who solicited the citizens last week.
The money has been deposited in
the Richardson County bank and the
committee appointed by the council
will pro-rate the amount. A list of
the contributors was made but some
prefer that their James be with held
from publication. The citizens res
pended literally and the firemen
speak with appreciation of the act
ion taken in their behalf. Many
We're not solicited but this does not
bar them. They can contribute to
the fund, much or little, at the bank.

Basket Ball.

The basket ball game last Saturr
day between Nebraska City and Falls
City girls teams was an easy victory
for the Falls City girls. The Nebras-
ka city team was crippled by the alb
sence of two of their best players,
who were unable to come here. Sub
stitutes were put in their places,
which affected their team work Our
girls tried to be generous, and the
substitute was put in center, guards
made forwards, center made guards
but it seemed in spite of changing
their several positions things
Just would come their way and the
score resulted in 10 to 81 in their
favor. It seemed an off night for the
visitors.
They were a very pleasant team tc
pay With anu We WIZ ''i'J w '''
that they took their defeat quite ser
iously. Miss RAIDER of Peru referred
the game.
Following the girls game the Higl

the best of it and scored the pieket

Before Police Judge.

The police judge had the privilege
of administering stern justice to
George Collier and Jim Davis Satur-
day night and they contributed a lit
tie to city expenses. You might tie
a knot in Davis and still he would
be superior to Golfers height, but
evidently the latter has the strength
for when he got through with Jim
he hobbled off with tears in his eyes
TO tell his trouble to the policeman.
Unlucky Jim. Try a man of your
own size and color hereafter.

The directors of the Mink League
held their annual meeting at Nebras-
ka City, ON Friday afternoon in the
parlor of the Frontier hotel. Each
town in the league was represented.
E, II. Towle was there for Falls City,
In the place of G. c. Davis, our
league director.
President Wilson presided at the
meeting and Secretary Bonwell kept
the records. Several disputes be-
tween the clubs Were amlably dis
posed of.
The following officers were elected

Treasurer-John II. Morehead, of
Falls City.

follows:
f. w. Beecher, Clarinda; LATE Hig-
gins, Auburn; l.. c. Cook, Maryville;
Geo. Blackburn, Shenandoah; Edwin
A. Duff. Nebraska City; Charles G.
Davis, Falls City.
Mr.. Duff of Nebraska City was the
only new member on the new board,
he having taken the place of Mr..
Bonwell.
Much interest I'm the outlook for
next season, and each town now in
the League had no intention of drop
ping out. While each team lost mon
ey last year, yet the business men
in each town seems to realize the
advertising that the towns get from
their team In the Mink League, so
that not cae would consider for a
moment, the losing of their fran
chise.
4 delegation of business men from
Atlantic, Iowa, were present at the
meeting, and almost insisted on being
taken into the League. But on &C
count of the great distance from the
south end towns, these towns were
against their admission, and the mat
ter was layed over tin the next meet
ing. aao
Hiawatha, Kansas will be taken in
to the League next year, If 1t is made
into an eight-club league. Every
member present was in favor of ad-
hitting Hiawatha, and II she had been
officially represented at the meeting,
she no doubt would have been taken
in. The next meeting will be held
in Shenandoah, on Friday, January IL,
1911, at which time. the new officers
will be installed,
Everything now points to a very Il
cessful season for the Mink League
for 1911. The management Of the To-
cal team, is now getting ready, look
ing for new players and a new man
ager. Our new manager will have
