Found Suffering on Road.

An unknown man was found this
morning on the roadside near Ernst
Huebbe's place in the North road by
Mr.. Huebbe. He pulled him out of
a puddle of water in which he was
lying and notified the police here,
but as it was out of their jurisdiction
they did not feel inclined to go. Dep
uty Sheriff Paul F. Schoechert was
in Juneau attending court as was also
District Attorney G. A. Kading. On
being informed of the matter Mrs.
Kading notified her husband and a
rig and physician was sent to the
scene as soon as possible from Juneau.
The man was evidently sick as he
was groaning constantly and would
not reply to questions. He is total
stranger to the farmers in that sec
ton.

Basketball Game,

Last night at the Turner Opera
house the Congregational five defeat
ed the fast High school team by a
score of SO to 80. The game was
fast and hard fought from start to
finish and each side was cheered by
enthusiastic rooters. Undoubtedly
two more games will be played by
these teams and if so two fine games
will be the result.
The Congregational church team
takes this opportunity of disputing
the right of the Candy Shop five to
the city championship as this was
never spoken of when arrangements
were made, nor have they as yet play
ed public game against the High
school team. The Church five will be
glad to arrange a game or series of
three games to decide this question
of championship and await the deci-
sion of the Candy team.
The teams wish to thank Max
Ullerich for his refereeing which was
impartial and very satisfactory.
