Last month the Cranuon Basket Ball
team defeated the Laona High School
team by very wide margin. Not sat
isfied, however, with this, they decided
to rub it in through one OF the Crandon
papers by saying that the Laona boys
could not play marbles. Last Saturday
the Crandon Regulars came to Laona
to play the Laona City team and made
the crack that they were going to win
the game They found, however, that
some of the Laona boys could ''play
marbles" and play them we'll, The first
half ended with the score 22 and 8 in
favor of Laona, the second with 81
points to Laona's credit against Gran
don's 10. The Crandon boys at the
start, finding Laona Outclassed them IN
team work and basket throwing, tried
to rough the game foot ball fashion,
but to their surprise found the Laona
boys could also mix this in with their
good work if necessary. Crandon de-
veloped an abnormal appetite for cling
ing to the Laona boys leech fashion to
hinder free playing. Laona played
saddle horse, giving them few (O
free rides, but some landed with rather
sudden jolts as the Laona boys bucked
little at first, but noticing the Gran
don boys took such pleasurein the short
rides they could find in this way, SO let
them enjoy themselves, as the game
was as good as won in the first few
minutes of play We hope the visiting
boys will play basket ball and not do
so much riding. The Crandon team
was composed of boys who acted the
part of gentlemen before and after the
game, taking their defoat in gentle
manly manner, which shows they are
good losers at least. A SPECTATOR,

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Marie Morstad and Raymond Derrah
Editors.

Disappointment looked out of the
faces of The High School pupils when
told of the fact that the Quartette,
scheduled for last Friday night could
not get here, on account of the sudden
illness of one of the members. No
doubt that disappointment reigned
among many others also, but the pre-
vention was unavoidable and we were
very glad to see that the news spread
SO quickly. Mr.. Beckwith received a
letter from the University Extension
Division telling us that Mr. Evans, CIV
ing the second number, will be here on
January 18th
Last Friday night, as the entertain
ment could not take place, a practice
game was hurriedly called and held in
the gymnasium at 7:3O. The spectators
were quite astonnded by the quick and
excellent work done and many pro-
nounced it the best game of the season
SO far.
The boys and girsl' teams of Laona
will play the boys and girls teams of
Wabeno next Saturday night, January
Goth, at the High School gymnasium
Regular admission Is and Is cents.
Seats provided for the ladies. After
the game, the school, minus the two
basket ball teams, will give private
reception for the four teams and teach
ers.
The Economics class have been hav-
ing for the last two weeks what we
called, The Economies Lecture
Course" Each day some member of
the class has discussed some important
question and in this way great deal
of interesting outside material has been
attained.
The German class are at present
studying Schiller's play, Wilhelm
Tell, " which they find rather difficult,
but very interesting.
The High School pupils were greatly
alarmed Monday, when an unexpected
signal was given for fire drill by the
grades. Some Of the pupils had march
ed out of doors before they discovered
that the alarm was false.
The loot ball squad of 1911 had their
pictures taken on the school grounds
Wednesday evening.
Don't miss seeing our girls play
basket bail Saturday evening. They
know the game and play it well.

BODY OF GIRL SUICIDE
FOUND AT CANON CITY

Canon City, Colo, July 31.-The
body of an unknown woman was
found in the Arkansas river at noon
yesterday in pile of driftwood near
Gorge station in the Royal gorge 1t
was first seen by Section Boss George
Gallagher of Parkdale and word was
sent to Canon City. Coroner Steven
son recovered the body and it was
brought here
Apparently the body had been in
the water for at least two weeks and
was badly crushed by striking on
rocks. Although there seems to be
little chance of Identifying the wOm-
an, 1t is believed to be that of Ar
bita Martinez, the Mexican girl who
committed suicide so dramatically in
Salida Sunday, July Z. by leaping
from a high trestle into the river
Because the head is nearly gone
and no clothing remained on the
body. Identification will be difficult.
