HANCOCK
ANDY P0LARI TRIED TO BE
A BOLD, BAD DESPERATE
Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several shots rang out on the still
air Tuesday night about half past II
o'clock in the vicinity of the car barns
i'm West Hancock. Visions of mid
night brawl filed the minds of dwellers
in the vicinity and heads We're thrust
out from many windows by awakened
householders in an effort to learn the
cause of the disturbance.
But there was no murder being COM
mitted, no shooting affray between in
furiated and reckless combatants. 1t
was only Andrew Polari, resident of
the vicinity giving a poor imitation of
being a bold bad desperado, trying to
scare the neighbors by firing his pistol
into the air, after the fashion of the
terrors of the western mining camps
as described in the lurid yellow backed
novels.
Andy Is said to have been more or
less intoxicated. "Wow!" he yelled as
he fired another shot. Then some
more yels and another volley. The
neighbors didn't appreciate Polaris
noisy Wild West exhibition and sever
al CT tho Drawer ones went out and
stopped it, Yesterday morning a war
rant was issued charging Polari with
the careless use of firearms, and dur
ing the afternoon he was arrested and
later arraigned before Justice olivier
His fun cost him thirty-five dollars
and costs, which convinced Andrew
that trying to be a bold bad man"
was costly pastime that he will per-
haps not endeavor to repeat.

GRAND RAPIDS
Last Saturdays Game at the
County Seat Close and Rough

The local high school football
team met the Grand Rapids highs
at that place last Saturday after
noon in one of the best games ever
played in the county, the county
seat boys winning by a score of 3 to
20. The teams were so evenly
matched that there was no advant-
age in amount of ground gained but
the Rapids kicker was fortunate in
placing a goal from the field, while
MarshfieId's attempt at a goal from
field against the wind went wrong
by a narrow margin. The game
was a rough one and several of the
local athletes are badly battered
but uncOmplaining. The team was
accompanied by nearly fifty people
and they were royalty entertained
Grand Rapids had the advantage
in weight by at least 10 puOnds to
the man and it was freely prophesi-
ed before the game that they would
test was largely straight football
and the gains were about equal.
Smith for Grand Rapids got away
for two long runs and Christensen
for Marshfield also made two big
runs getting clear Of all but the
safety man on one occasion and
nearly making the touchdown. The
lineup of the local team was Har-
ney, center, Bartman and McTavish,
guards, Drollinger and Witt, tack
les, zimmerman and BuckmasteT,
ends, Wright, quarter, Glassner,
and Christensen, half-backs, Kraus,

WEATHER SIGNS

It is laid down on good authority
and for good reasons, that if during
the month of October it clears UP
warm after each storm, we may ex-
pect a mild winter.
This sign is worth observing for it
counts for more than all the common
superstitious observations made on
plants and animals put together. For
the animal and plant signs often re-
lied ON to foretell the mildness or
severity of the approaching winter
are not only very contradictory, but
they have no reason to sustain them,
no casual relation between the sign
and the thing signified.
Man is said to be the rational ami
NAL, yet more than 10 per cent of the
race can not reason a little bit, and
fully 80 per cent do not like to rea-
SON They find it easier to be guild
ed by signs. The study of the cas-
uaI relations between the sign and
the thing signified is not agreeable tC
them.
If you don't think this is true,
just ask the man who gives you his
pet weather sign to give you the rea-
soning, by which he connects his sigf
with the kind of weather be predices.
