Organized Base Ball Club

That was a very encouraging
meeting of the business men and
those interested in base ball mat
ter which met at the town hall
last Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of organizing a base ball
club. DR.. Price was chairman
and Q. E. Jensen secretary. A
permanent organization was ef-
fected with DIR Price as manager
&. E.. Jensen, secretary and treas
urer and Charles l. Plummer,
captain. 1t was determined to
call the organization the Sara
toga Baseball Club" There will
be "a contribution to the treasury
of the club from the business men
of the town, so that when funds
are needed to retain the services
of some good player who may be
Temporarily out of work, it can be
done.
With Floyd Groninger and
Charles Plummer the club has a
a pretty good pair to draw to. AT
least one good player is expected
to come from Indiana, near the
home of Nh. Groninger. AT
present there is a MIR. Drew here
from Rawlins who is a good player.
The season will be opened in May
and it is expected that we will
have an excellent season.

Rev. Forde Resigns Passionate

Rev. l.. Harold Forde, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, rendered
his resignation last Sunday. This
was caused by the fact that he had,
at the meeting of the Cheyenne
Presbytery, held in Rawlins last
week, been elected to the position
of Pastor Evangelist for the
Southern part of Wyoming. and
it would be necessary for him to
go to Cheyenne to reside. Rev.
Forde was also chosen to represent
the Cheyenne Presbytery in the
General Assembly, which meets
i'll Atlantic City, N. j., on May
10Th. This will be a very pleasant
trip for him as it takes him with
in a few miles ride of the home of
his aged mother, whom he has
not seen for many years and also
within a few miles of Annapolis,
where his sou Kenneth is in the
United States Naval Academy
Rev. and Mrs. Forde will be very
much missed in this community.
Not only has he been the only res
ident minister here for the past
three years and a half, but his
wife has been an active member
of the Ladies Aid Society and the
Saratoga Chapter, o. L S. They
have an interesting family of
children and their departure will
be canse for regret in many ways,

Explains Fair Proposition

AS there seems to be a lack of
knowledge generally on the matter
OF the County Fair Association,
The Sun takes this opportunity to
explain the situation, A year ago
last August the Carbon County
FAR Association, was organized
here aud directors for the first
year We're appointed, as was nee
cessary. The Capital stock was
placed at S25, 100000. This is re.
presented by 5000 shares. each
share being worth So. The object
OF the Association is to hold n
County FAIR at Saratoga each
year. 1t is not intended to be
SIMPLY a Saratoga proposition, but
a county institution. 1t has to
have home, hence Saratoga is
chosen as the most convenient
point to hold this annual County
festival apd business meet of all
the agricultural and stock interests
of the entire county.
This Fair Assuciatin is "A Enanc-
ial organization, just the same as
"A mining company, or a sheep
company. Each share of stock
is worth the sum of five dollars.
When a man subscrihes and pays
for "A share of this stock it does
not represent a gift TO the Associa-
ton. 1t means that he is buying
a share III a corporation which
will be worth, not ouly all that he
paid for it., but something that
will pay him 3 dividend, indirectly
Just the same as any other public
corporation or association. The
money realized from subscriptions
to the stock Of the Fair Associa-
ton will be invested in land and
buildings which will be used for
the purpose of exhibiting the pro-
ducts of Carbon County. The
money placed in lands and build
ings will not decrease, but increase
in value. a county without an an.
nual Fair is not considered much
of a county, and the time is
rapidly approaching when Carbon
county must come to the front
with an annual fair. Every ranch
man, every stockgrower, every
business man in the entire county
is financially interested in a coun-
ty Fair, and to that end every man
who can do so should subscribe to
the stock of the Fair Association.
for it means business to every
resident in the county.
The stock of the Carbon County
Fair Association is being literally
subscribed, On Tuesday evening
when subscriptions Were called for
the call met with a most generous
response, over $1,000 being sub,
scribed by the business men pres
ent. 1t is believed at this time
that at least $1,000 will be raised
right in Saratoga among the bust
S men.

Chicago, April 18th, 1910.
Dear cir:
In December of 1885 and Jan.
uary of 1856 | vas brot to your
springs and treated for inAamatory
rhumatism | was that bad that
| could not stand the weight of a
sheet on me. My feet were so
swollen that / had to wear a No.
10 overshoe. L can safely say
that | W my life to the treat
ment | received. | surely cannot
speak too highly of your springs.
| have a friend who is down with
a very bad attack of rheumatism
and want to know if the springs
are still in operation. If so, will
try and get her to go out there.
Kindly let ne hear from you.
Very truly,
w. G.. Harris, Clerk,
Sheritf's Office.
The above letter is II sample of
what the hot waters in our springs
have been able to bring about.
Not only was the above named
party completely cured, but thou
sands of others could and have
given testimony of the same char
acter. There is not the least
doubt in the minds of anyone who
has ever tried these waters, or
have seen their effects on others,
but what they contain the most
remarkable properties ever found
in any medicinal waters in any
country. What Saratoga needs is
a large sanitarium, and If all signs
do not fail, she will probably have
something of that nuture in the
next few months.

Mrs. Pearson's Robbed.

On the afternoon of the Fourth, a
man who had been working at the
Gem Restaurant went to the home of
Mrs. Johanna G. Pearsons and stole
from trunk twenty three dollars in
money and gold watch. He was
surprised by Mrs. Pearsons but made
his escape without coat or hat. He
started east, first stopping at the
home of Nels Hovend and helping
himself to coat and hat and more
money.
During the evening, some one also
entered the house of Andreas Olson
about two miles east of Morris, and
also the house of Mr.. Johnson, half
mile this side of Cyrus. These two
robberies are supposed to have been
the work of the same man.
The fellow gave the name of Harry
Grady. He was of medium height,
and swarthy complexion. He had a
small horseshoe tatooed on the out
side of one hand, also a flag and
heart and arrow on his arms.

Win Another.

Last Monday the Independents
celebrated the Fourth of July by
defeating the Synnes- Horton team at
Steinbring's.
The Synnes- Horton team has de-
feated several teams in their country
and added couple of players intend
ing to take the Independents into
camp. But what surprise!
The Independents scored one in the
1st, one in the End, but were BANKED
in the 3rd and 4th. The 9TH was good
for three, the 9Th was blank then
came the lucky 7th.
Munro walked, Bloom, A. LeSage,
and B. LeSagn drew singles. Then
Andrisck walked, Cooley got hit,
Knuppel got his head in the way of
one and II. Andrisck beat out one.
All of them scored.
The Sth was a blank but just to keep
in practice they got one more in the
9Th making Is in all.
The Synnes- Horton team could not
solye Blooms delivering and there
was nothing doing for them until the
5th, when they got three by combi-
nation of two hits and lot of talk.
The 9th and 7th were blanks but they
got one more in the 9Th which made
their final score four.
The game was well played, several
pretty plays being pulled off by both
teams but was spoiled by being
broken up by arguments, most Of
which were between the Horton team
and the umpires.
The day was fine for the game and
a large crowd was on the ground
endeavoring to aid their home team
to win.
