 Fortunes in baseball vary. Look at Jack Gallagher with the Whiting team in the Industrial league and the Black Rocks in the City league. Two Saturdays ago Gallagher contributed two triples and on the next day two homers. Last Saturday Jack could not knock the ball out of the diamond in four attempts, and repeated on Sunday. Gallagher's work was the feature of the Rocks play on Sunday. he only came across with five errors.

SUIT OYER POTATOES
John oIness Trying to Recover Value
Of Three Cars Of Potatoes Shipped
to 81. Louis Last Year.

Judge Taylor and jury in the Clay
county district court are engaged in
the case OF John Olness against the
Great Northern Railroad Co. The
case was called at previous term but
on account OF faulty dispositions 1t had
to be temporarily abandoned.
The plaintiff shipped three cars OF
potatoes from his home station billed
to ST. Louis. but en- route part were
alleged to have been ruined by frost
and part are said to have been burned
in wreck. A feature OF the case is
that the defendants claim that they
were not wholly responsible as in
transit the potatoes passed over two
other roads and that all Of the damage
was not on their lines @. j. Gunder-
son of Alexandria Is putting up a stiff
fight for the defendant company and
he is finding counsel worthy OF his
steel in the person Of Mr.. Dosland for
the plaintiff.
The outcome of this case Is being
watched with interest. It is said that
there is interesting conflicting evil
dence being given. Today one witness
was asked what had become OF a GER
tain man who had helped to load the
potatoes. "oh. he's gone back to Nor
way" was the substance OF the reply
and the witness looked very much be-
fuddled when he was informed that
the same man was then and there
working on an adjoining farm.
