With great deal of sorrow and not
a little of truth the Galesville Repub-
lican remarks: "The populists of twenty
years ago were jeered at by republi-
cans and democrats. The populist party
is no more. Why? Because repubIi-
cans and democrats have appropriated
every ism of populism. Think it over
before you say this is not true.

Result Of Careless Boys BEING
Allowed To Toy With Guns

Sunday evening about five thirty TIVE
boys from Moreland were fishing dowr
by the river bridge. They also had
a gun and were shooting into the brusl
merely for amusement.
w. Parr and family were camped a
little distance from the bridge and at
this time in the evening Mrs. Parr was
working outside the tent preparing the
evening meal. One OF the stray bullets
which these boys were firing in all di-
rectlons came buzzing into the camp
and hit Mrs. Parr in the back. If it
had not been for the steel in her cor.
set she probably would not have been
here today, but when the bullet hit the
steel it glanced to the side and LODGED
between two ribs.
Mr. Parr removed the shot with his
pocket knife and she was immediately
brought to town to have the wound at
tended to. DR.. Patrie attended the
laceratlon and Mrs. Parr is getting
along very nicely at present.

eIackfoot Wins Again

Sunday afternoon at the Fair ground
an interesting game Of ball was play
ed between Blackfoot and Shelley to
see who would carry away the purse
of $4,000 which was put up for the
victorious team, and of course Blacl
foot again proved what they could do.
In the first inning Blackfoot made
one, Kimball performing the feat while
Shelley got goose egg. During the
second inning Thorsenberg knocked a
home run and Parkinson and Larsen
each made talley. In the third inn
ing DeKay showed the score up one
higher. Still Shelley had what they
started with. During the fifth, sixth
and seventh innings neither side scor-
ed but in the eighth Blackfoot did won.
ders Another home run was made by
Thorsenberg, and Martin, Spani, Par
kinson, Larsen and Cooper each made
a tally.
During the ninth inning Shelley was
feeling so terribly blue that Blackfoot
gave them a couple SO that they would
MT have to carry that goose egg all
the way home with them, thus maxi
ing the score II to 2 in favor of the
home boys.
We sympathize very deeply with
Shelley, especially when we hear them
murmur. OF all the words Of tongue
or pen the saddest are "stung again."
