West High II, Leon o.

Tie second eleven of the West
High School of Des Moines came
down Thanksgiving day and defeated
Leon in a hard fought game by the
score of II to 0. Our sporting edi-
tor, R. l. Benefiel. has gone to Ottum-
wa, and we don't know any more
about writing up foot ball game
than a rabbit and everybody said it
was good clean game and the crowd
of about 500 who witnessed the
game were we'll satisfied. Neither
team were able to gain by straight
foot ball, and there was a great deal
of punting. The first score was made
by West High on an intercepted for
ward pass. Beck making a touch
down and Scroggie kicked goal. La
ter in the game Beck repeated his
performance and made another
touch down after punt had been re-
covered. West High has fast team
and their work showed the effect OF
a good coach. The game was en-
tirely free from rough or rowdy
playing.
The Des Moines boys were we'll
pleased with their reception in Leon,
the High School rendering them a
reception at the P. E. o. hall in the
evening and a general good time was
enjoyed by all. The boys returned
home Friday morning and said they
had one of the best times ever.

personal threats made against those
who for any reason whatever refu5ed
to join the union. Friday night tMe
old Enterprise building, in which
several negro miners and their FAM
lilies are domiciled, was the scene or
central hostilities. Shortly after
dark, number of the strikers or
agitators, armed with shotguns anf
revolvers, marched down and opened
fire on the building, first shooting
out the electric lights which su1-
rounded the place. Windows were
shot out of the building and the or
cupants were terrorized and huddled
together, fearing for their lives.
During most of the trouble, mine
superintendent Grant has been away
from the scene of hostilities, having
been summoned away to attend the
funeral of his brother. Had MT.
Grant been on the ground, perhaps
matters would not have reached such
a serious stage, and again, they may
have been just as bad. 1t is hard to
tell.
The bona fide citizens of GAINESVILLE
are beginning to realize that they
have a proposition confronting them,
that from this time henceforth win
require a good deal of energy and
considerable backbone to successful
ly cope with.
Three of the strikers were arrest
ed and brought to Bethany Monday
night, charged with felonious as
sault, shooting into dwelling and
disturbing the peace. One OF them
gave bonds for his appearance, and
the other two, being unable to give
bond, were committed to jail.-Beth-

Another Account.

Sheriff J. B. Manifold and several
deputies were summoned to Gains
Vile Saturday in order to protect
property from wanton, destruction
and the citizens from gross insults.
From the best information we can
CLEAN, it seems that the mines there
are operated on the open, or nom
union plan, and everything was run
ming along smoothly until some un-
ion organizers came in and almost
before anyone knew it, had organ
lied a union. Under instructions
from the owners of the mine, who
live in Pennsylvania, 1. B. Grant, the
superintendent, discharged all the
union men. When this was done,
trouble began.
During the past week several as
saults were committed and numerous

church at Grand River, Iowa, was
dedicated at Grand River, Iowa, Sun
day Dec 3, 1911, free from all debt,
with a surplus of 100000.
The financial and conducting OF
all services was under the manage
ment of DR.. Edwin A. Schell, of the
Iowa Weslyn University at Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa. At 10 o'clock in the
morning the services were opened by
singing, lead by the choir, following
, this was a sermon by DR.. Schell, al
, ter which the statement was made
that $42OO00 was needed to pay all
indebtedness. After 40 minutes ST.
10000 had been secured on the sub
scription.

pated in by DR.. Schell, A. A. Thomp-
! son, District Superintendent, Rev. Il

church was then formally dedicated
to the worship of God.
The structure is of brick and stone,
modern throughout. The cost OF the
entire building including the furni-
ture is about $110O0.00. Much cred
it for the successful consumation Of
the enterprise is due to the tactful
management and faithful work of
DR.. Edwin A. Schell, also the per-
sistent and faithful work of the board
of trustees with the liberal contrib
ution of the membership of the
church and the general public. Much
pleasure and profit was realized from

pianos, Mrs. Beck also rendered some
touching solos in the evening and
morning services, and the Quartet
