To THE LINCOLN COUNTY TINES:

10 THE LINCOLN COUNTY lines:
Well, well, well, who ever said the
single men in Jonathan Valley could
play baseball? OF all the bum players |
ever saw they are the limit. The mar
ried men about four strong, with the
help OF a few year old boys, had
Dodd's colts helpless at all times. The
game was to be but five innings and at
the end OF the fifth the Coppdale Kids
won the game by score of to s.
Dodd wanted to have a laugh on the
Kids, so made the game a seven inning
affair, and at the end OF the seventh the
score was Il 10 to 10 tie. Still Dodd
couldn't laugh, SO on went the game to
the ninth inning and again the married
men spilled in three runs, while Dodd
could only get two. At the ending of
the game the score was 10 to II, i'll favor
of the Coppdale Kids. The battery for
Dodd's Colts were O'Brien and Ost-
feldt; for the Kids, G. Gray and Lawshe.
In the eighth, Captain Dodd, disguised
by the showing of his men, threw down
his coat and endeavored to show how
the game was to be played, but he, too,
like the rest of the boys, couldn't do Il
thing. TORY Gund acted as umpire, as
there is none better in Idaho. 1t is well
known that Gund one time saw game
OF ball, but that lets him out.
On next Saturday evening, April 10,
there will be an election held in the
Coppdale school house, for the purpose
OF electing school trustee for Coppdale
school district No 50. Walter Kyser
and Walter Copp were elected for terms
OF l and , years. The term OF Al. w.
Lickley has expired, therefore, it will be
the duty of this election to elect one
more trustee. So all are asked to come
and help elect good trustee
Some very sad news reached Coppdale
last week, when Mrs. Walter Copp was
informed by letter that her mother had
died. 1t was quite Il shock to Mrs.
Copp at first and she took it very hard,
but now she is standing it as well as
one could expect.
Owing to the bum steer got last week
we have an apology to offer Geo. LANCER
in regard to his being married, for sucl
was not the case. 1t was just Mis-
LANCER that came to the valley. Georg,
doesn't look like one that could be cap
tured so easily.

Ruffit Ranch are favored with u visit b.
Mrs. Lickley's mother, from Iowa, thi

There is a new fad going around
