PLAY TENNIS ON ICE.
Several New York Clubs Flood Clay
Courts to Enjoy Sport.

One ordinarily associates tennis with
warm spring and summer days, green
sward or baked clay, flannel clad and
sunburned players. But now tennis
bids fair to become as much Of a win
ter pastime as it is summer sport.
Several Of the tennis clubs in New
York have flooded the courts where in
summer the players volley under a
glaring sun and marked out the regu.
lar court lines on tho frozen surface.
The sport on the Ice has gained con-
siderable popularity. The nets are
stretched across the center Of the ice
covered court. and the players use
skates to get over the Ice.
At first It took the players Of the
new game some time 10 get accustom-
ed 10 getting around on the gliders,
They made many awkward moves and
many more awkward shots. In time,
however, they became more adept in
getting around the ice clad courts,

BADGER FOUND BY CHANCE
Cleveland, Wisconsin's Track Captain
Discovered by Exe4pisins.

In Clarence Cleveland the University
OF Wisconsin has one of the greatest
distance runners in the smiddle west
this year. This IS Cleveland's third
year in Intercollegiate track work, and
his parformances heretofore have uni
formfy been of such high character as
TO warrant the declaration of his ad-
mirerS that there is no two miller in
the middle west who can compare
with him.
Cleveland was discovered by chance
two years ago. Prior to that time he
had taken no part in track athletics,
but by chance he took some exercise
by running with the track men one
evening, and the coach insisted that a
man with the tremendous stride that
he had and his perfect physical trim
should try out for the college team.
This is Clevelands last year in col
lege, and as captain Of this years
team he IS determined to bring the
championship home to Wisconsin for
the first time in many years. The most
optimistic doubt this possibility, but
there are very few that doubt that
Cleveland will register very creditably
when the great conference event Is
pulled off.

has defended so valiantly for so many
years. There are several reasons for
this conclusion. In the first place
Kilbane has shown high class in every
department of the game. He has prov
ed to be an exceptionally brainy sort
of fighter, possessed OF the necessary
speed, hitting power and ability TO
stand punishment. He has also shown
remarkable endurance, for he has fin
ished all of his battles in good condi-
ton and has not been fatigued to any
extent.
Attell is reaching an age at which
the average pugilist begins 10 retro
grade. while Kilbane is just approach
ing his maturity as fighter. The best
fighters ever known to this country
reached their best between the years
of twenty-One and twenty-four XII
bane is now going on twenty-five, and
he is still gaining in strength and hit
ting power.

Cafes Serving GOO Meals Daily.


Six hundred is the approximate
number of meals daily dished out in
nine Norfolk restaurants and three
hotels. This does not include the
boarding houses of the city and the
South Norfolk railroad eating house.
one restaurant man, the meals will be
increased anG may reach 1000.
1t may be interesting to know that
very few Norfolk people who have
homes eat at restaurants or hotels. A
heavy snow or rainstorm will hold
meals, but as a rule they stay very
close to home during meal hours.
At the present time the restaurants
are doing a very light business. In
fact it is the dull season of the year
for restaurant men, according to one
proprietor. In thirty days, when all
the travelling men will have arrived
and the homesteades will be passing
through to locate on their claims in
the Rosebud, the restaurants expect
to do a rushing business. Very few
transients Lave been arriving recent
ly and this welcome customer is be-
ing looked for by the man who makes
his bread and butter by feeding 9TH
ers.
I'VE are experiencing dull times at
present." says this restaurant man.
"The travelling men are not yet all

homesteaders make the trip to South
Dakota to locate on their claims
They will be arriving in about thirty
days from every road leading into the
city and they usually stay in Norfolk

$50 meals each day. serve eighty

Homesteaders to Boost Business.
1t is expected that a large number
Of the homesteaders will come into
Norfolk very soon. A banquet was
held in an Omaha hotel recently by
winners of claims at the recent land
drawing. About 200 OF the winners
were present at the banquet and reso
lutions were passed that the entire
gathering would travel together tc
settle down on their claims in South
Dakota Invitations have been ex
tended to these homesteaders by one
restaurant man to stop off at Norfolh
and have dinner.

Winner s H., Feb l9-Charles
Black, who has been wanted by tCe
authorities of Tripp county for some
time on the charge of knitting Jacob
Dickman at Jordan, returned and is
now in the custody of Sheriff Little.
II will be remembered that few
weeks ago Charles Black and Jacob
Dickman, while drinking in the sa
loon at Jordan, quarreled and finally
engaged in fistic encounter in which
Black was worsted; and when Dick
man finally got him down, Black used
knife with serious effect
Immediately after the affray Black
took to his horse and fled, and moth
ing had been heard of him till Thurs.
day, when Sheriff Little received Il
phone message from him, stating that
he would be in Winner on the evening
train to give himself up.
Sheriff Little was In Iowa al the
time of the knitting affray, and traced
Black northward until he found where
he had sold his horse and saddle, and
believing that he was then in Canada
| he gave up the search. His surmise
proved to be correct, as MIR. Black has
just returned from northwestern Can
ada and is ready to stand trial for
what he has done.
1t was thought at the time of the
knitting that Dickman might die, but
with prompt and efficient medical
treatment he has come out of it as
good as new with the exception of q
few bad scars.
Black will no doubt be bound over
to the district court and will be tried
at the next term.
