Another feature about Norton that
is most pleasing is the large number
of shade trees. The town is an oasis
in the rolling prairie. The park is a
forest And little old Prairie Dog
creek is lined with big trees on both
banks They have light plant here
and fine waterworks system, with
pure, clear water. The merchants have
unusually large and complete stocks
of goods and enjoy good trade from
a large track of surrounding country.
The climate is made delightful in
summer by fine breeze, that blows
day and night. The air is very clear
and the altitude high.

POOR BALL GAME
Local Team Makes Bad
Show with Plymouth

Sundays exhibition at the local ball
park, between Jackson and Plymouth,
was too one-sided to be enjoyed, Ply
mouth was in no stage of the game in
danger of defeat, while Jackson was
completely held at the mercy of the
visitors pitcher, Johnny Burke who
threw ball that only Jackson's best
sluggers could find
Plymouth had a batting streak on
that would make any local pitcher
sick, and hit ball after ball into out
field. A. Prichard, catcher for the
Plymouth nine, put ball past Arditto
into center field that gave him an easy
home run, in the sixth inning. For
this play he was presented with a box
of Elko cigars by M. P. Silva, the
local dealer. Easton, the Plymouth
second baseman, played strong
game, bringing in runs, and having
4 put outs to his credit. The Plymouth
nine are managed by Earl MINIS,
proprietor of the Plymouth livery
stable and captained by A. Prichard,
the catcher for his own team.
Very little can be said for Jackson &
last game, appreciating the fact that
the players receive no salary for the
strenuous parts they play in giving
Jackson baseball amusement; we are
compelled to say that lack of proper
management is surely pulling the

VICTIMS
Wireless Fraud Catches
Many In Jackson

There are quite number of victims
of the United Wireless Telegraph
fraud in Jackson and other parts of
the county. The amounts invested
ranged from $100 to $500. They were
led to put their savings into this
scheme by the representations of
agents engaged in the selling of stock,
and these agents were in most cases
victims of fraudulent misrepresenta-
tions on the part of the higher-ups of
the company. They no doubt believed
they were ssllling stock in company
that bade fair to rival the Bell tele-
phone and similar corporations, which
have made many persons wealthy by
the investment of few hundred dol
lars therein. The conditions of the
wireless telegraph business aided the
schemers. 1t was a new enterprise
comparatively, with almost unlimited
possibilities before it, and vast field

RESCUES A LIFE
Mine Hero Saves Com
rade from Death

Paul Veramenta, residing with his
uncle, Paul Veramento in South Jack
son, received severe injuries while at
work in the Zeila mine that would
have proved fatal had it not been for
the presence of mind and hasty action
of fellow worker. The young miner,
who is not much more than 10 years
old, was ordered to load the skip with
then to send the skip to the surface by
ringing 1 bell. AS the unfortunate
man explains it, he desired the skip to
lower bit further, and gave what he
thought was the correct bell The skip
started up, and the miner attempted
to jump off the top of the filled skip,
into the 1900 level. AS he jumped from
the moving bucket he was caught be-
tween the skip and the timbers and
badly squeezed. His cry was heard by
Lazar Radonja, who in an instant
reached out and grabbed the victim as
the skip was passing him, and when
released from his dangerous position
Raonja pulled him into the level, and
thereby saved him from a plunge of
160 feet to the sump of the shaft. The
injured man was hastily sent to the
surface and team was sent from a
local livery that carried the miner to
the home of his uncle DR.. Endicott

abuse the individual for having said it.
This is the dernier resort of the un-
